Description
Scientific and technical reports implemented with LaTeX provide powerful structuring capabilities but are limited to static outputs such as for instance documents in PDF format. Since in the FCC study the environment reports feature
multimedia (high-res images, interactive maps, audio and video files) contents, we developed an automated pipeline that transforms static LaTeX-based markup into dynamic web interfaces, providing higher user experience and easier presentation of
large documents. Our solution starts with collaborative authoring on Overleaf, seamlessly integrated with GitHub repositories. Using the static site feature of make4ht, LaTeX content is converted into structured web contents, which are then integrated into a customized Hugo framework. The resulting sites feature search functionality, adaptive styles, enhanced navigation and accessibility of multimedia contents as well as access control. The pipeline culminates in containerized deployment workflows, pushing container images to Harbor registries and orchestrating production deployment using OKD. This comprehensive technical approach streamlines report dissemination and transforms complex documents into accessible, interactive, and user-friendly web experiences.
