Where is Content Stored?

Did you know that LiaScript tries to be agnostic as possible, when it comes to hosting? The thing is, you host your content by your own and only refer to it, via a URL-Parameter that you attach to the LiaScript website. https://LiaScript.github.io/course/?THE_URL_TO_YOUR_COURSE.md Git - Platforms Although, we prefer GitHub & git for versioning, hosting, and publishing, you should be able to use any versioning system or platform to host your course content.

Tables & Data Visualizations

Fonts: Dead or Alive

Fascinated by the length of the URL as well as by foreign languages and writing systems we added the opportunity to use different fonts in LiaScript-Markdown. We hoped that this can be useful for learning ancient and extinct languages… Not all fonts are installed on my machine, so they are not displayed in the editor. LiaScript however will load and display them appropriately. Since they are Unicode-characters, you can style and use these ancient writing systems as ordinary Markdown.

Images are handled differently

LiaScript-Markdown handles images differently: a paragraph with a starting image will produce a floating environment a paragraph with only images will produce a gallery the image will be optimally sized & placed “titles” will be used as captions You can use this this example as a basis for your own course by following this link … Or experiment with it in the LiveEditor below:
