interface.cgi

This is the place where the python code goes.

interface.html

This is the place where the variables from the .cgi script can be used. Jinja2 is used to include the variables in the html framework.

Examples:

{{ var }}


{% if var %}
   {{ var }}
{% endif %}


{% for v in vars %}
   {{ v }}
{% endfor %}


export.cgi

This script is called when hitting 'submit' in the export section of the interface. Jquery uses an ajax call to run the script. It creates a .html and a .pdf document in the output/ folder.

The stylesheet export.css is applied to the exported documents.
