# Publish.jl

*A universal document authoring package for [Julia][julia].*









> **Disclaimer**

>

> Currently this package should be regarded as experimental --- a proving

> ground for new features for the Julia documentation ecosystem rather than

> a mature and proven piece of software. If you need a solution that will

> definitely work, look at [Documenter.jl][] instead.

This is a package for [Julia][] that provides a general framework for writing

prose --- technical documentation is its focus, though it is general enough to

be applied to any kind of written document.

Some standout features:

  - built-in live server to view your changes in real-time,

  - uses a fully-compliant [commonmark][] parser, [CommonMark.jl][],

  - produces HTML and PDF files natively, no LaTeX dependencies to manage yourself,

  - publication-quality PDF generation uses [tectonic][] for self-contained, reproducible builds,

  - combine markdown files, [Jupyter][] notebooks, and Julia files for your content,

  - supports [themes](# "Custom Themes") to customise both HTML and PDF output,

  - and declarative configuration built on top of Julia's [Pkg.jl][] package manager.

`Publish` can scale from single pages all the way to large cross-referenced

multi-project documents.

To jump straight in and begin using `Publish` run the following in your Julia REPL:

```julia-repl

pkg> add Publish

julia> using Publish

julia> serve(Publish)

✓ LiveServer listening on http://localhost:8000/ ...

  (use CTRL+C to shut down)

```

The above will install `Publish`, import it, and then start up a local

web-server for `Publish`'s own documentation --- the content you're reading

right now. Open the link in your web browser and then continue on to the next

section, [Getting Started](docs/getting_started.md).
