Viewers for PDF, PS, and DVI ⇒ is there a LaTex based web server outhere?

[pedrosk]

This might be a silly idea and there might be a good reason it doesn't exist. However, if there is a MD based webserver like Hugo, there should be a Tex based one....

I did noticed there is "Overleaf" but that is a online editor ...

Is there to anyone's knowledge a Tex Based server that can be installed on premises or even a as a service?

Thank you.

Hi Pedrosk,

welcome to the forum!

I use TeXlive.net on my web servers. Like here:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[tikz,border=10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{smartdiagram}
\smartdiagramset{font=\sffamily}
\begin{document}
\smartdiagram[circular diagram:clockwise]{
  Define styles, Position nodes, Add arrows,
  Add labels, Review and refine}
\end{document}

Would this look ok for you?

not sure. probably not.

I am looking for something where you have a set of documents or one large documents that you browse over internet.

Let say I am writing my code and instead of writing documentation in MD and posting it in my private github repo I post it on some kind of server that I can access over HTTP protocol and further browse pages, links.... but the transmition will be over HTTP and the underlying document will be a static tex document. Not sure if this server works that way.

I don't think there's such a thing like a web content management / server system based on LaTeX sources but rendering html. Though there's limited LaTeX support here and there, using plugins. You could build your own workflow / pipeline using conversion tools like pandoc, tex4ht or lwarp.

Stefan,

I was afraid that that is the answer. I did use the pipeline before and sometimes the result is not what one wanted.

I will definitely give it a try.
