ReStructured Manuscripts (RSM)

tests docs

The web-first authoring software for scientific manuscripts.

RSM is a suite of tools that aims to change the way scientific manuscripts are published and shared using modern web technology. Currently, most scientific publications are made with LaTeX and published in PDF format. While the capabilities of LaTeX and related software are undeniable, there are many pitfalls. RSM aims to cover this gap by allowing authors to create web-first manuscripts that enjoy the benefits of the modern web.

One of the main aims of the RSM suite is to provide scientists with tools to author scientific manuscripts in a format that is web-ready in a transparent, native way that is both easy to use and easy to learn. In particular, RSM is a suite of tools that allow the user to write a plain text file (in a special .rsm format) and convert the file into a web page (i.e. a set of .html, .css, and .js files). These files can then be opened natively by any web browser on any device.
