Hi,
A few years ago, Leslie Lamport (yes, the Godfather of LaTeX) proposed,
in an article in the American
Mathematical Monthly, a way of writing a mathematical proof in a
recursive style with required facts
used in the proof themselves proven in the same format, and so on.  He
even suggested that a hyperlink
system would be the preferred presentation technology, as the deeper
details of a proof could remain hidden
until requested by the user by clicking on a fact to see its proof.

As a moderately computer-literate student of mathematics, I am wondering

if anyone has implemented
such a system as an enhancement to latex2html.  I am contemplating doing

this, but I would be just as
happy to learn that such a working system is already available.

Has anyone implemented or seen anything like this?
