PreTeXt (PTX, at pretextbook.org) is an open source book authoring tool with two big goals. First, writing one input allows output in many formats - well-designed pdf, sensible online texts, epub, as well as Jupyter notebooks. Secondly, it is possible to easily embed computation and homework cells from SageMath (and lots of other things) that are usable from anywhere online, requiring no additional software. This demonstration talk will survey the wide variety of capabilities of PTX using a gallery of textbooks actually in use.
