publication pipeline
this web interface is only optimised for desktop.
it lets users run the publication pipeline without the command line or API, rendering print-ready PDFs from plain-text Markdown via Pandoc. It includes a minimal file explorer for basic file management (create, read, update, delete) beyond what the API exposes.
from the interface you can list, view, create, edit, delete, and render reports, as well as upload images and Markdown files, create directories, and edit files in the built-in Markdown editor. Use the editor for previews and minor edits. For authoring and collaboration, keep your main work in dedicated editors such as HedgeDoc or Etherpad, or local editors such as Emacs, Vim, or Notepad, and then upload or paste into the web interface.
for more information and instructions connected to the publication pipeline see our metareport.
