mission

photon-platform.publish provides a unified scholarly publishing framework built on Sphinx, Jinja2, and SCSS. Its mission is to transform structured ReStructuredText, symbolic mathematics, interactive geometric diagrams, and multi-track historical/computational books into cohesive, high-craft digital editions.

goals

Semantic HTML

We emphasize the cascade in CSS, thinking hierarchically all the way down to the last HTML tag.

State of the Art CSS

Inspired by the CSS Zen Garden philosophy, we aim to demonstrate that a single, well-structured HTML document can be presented in vastly different ways purely through CSS.

Interactive Elements

When the structure is well-known and consistent, we can build tremendous functionality around it.
