jemdoc-cvx – light markup, modernized

jemdoc is a light text-based markup language designed for creating websites, originally written by Jacob Mattingley. It takes a text file written with jemdoc markup, an optional configuration file and an optional menu file, and emits a static website. jemdoc was inspired by AsciiDoc; the main differences are that jemdoc is simpler (deliberately feature-poor) and has more consistent syntax.

This is jemdoc-cvx, a modernized fork of jemdoc and jemdoc+MathJax. The .jemdoc input format is unchanged and the iconic look is preserved, but the tool itself is rewritten for a modern stack: HTML5 output, CSS3, Python 3.11+, and server-side equation rendering with KaTeX. See the download page to get started or the revision notes for what changed.
