Scripta User Documentation

Scripta.io is a web app for creating technical documents and publishing them on the web. The aim is for an easy-to-use, frictionless workflow. To this end, documents are compiled directly to Html. Consequently they can be viewed as-is on a computer, laptop, or smartphone.

To make a new document, just press the New button in the header, then enter the title. As you type text in the editor, the text is rendered in real time. See the tour.

Markup languages

Scripta documents can be written in any one of three markup languages:

• MicroLaTeX (like LaTeX)
• XMarkdown (like Markdown, but with LaTeX-style formulas)
• L0 (a markup language with a Lisp-like syntax)

Publishing

To publish a document, click on the Private button in the editor (see the tour). After you do this, the button will change to Public. To let colleagues, friends, and students know about your document, click on the Link button in the footer. Copy that link and distribute it however you like: by email or text message, by posting it on a web page, etc. See XX for more about publishing a document.

Export

Scripta documents can be exported to standard LaTeX or to PDF at the push of a button. See the footer of the app in the tour screenshots.
