• “A GitHub Action / command-line tool which generates screen grab images of a terminal window, containing command outputs or code snippets.”
• Generate images from commands embedded in markdown files, like README.md, for example.
  • Searches through markdown files for stuff like: ![cat cat.txt | lolcat -S 1](img/cat.svg)
  • then runs the command, and generates the image.
• Can be done within a GitHub action
• Can also send code snippets or json to rich-cli, then generate an image.
• You can also have commands in a config file,
• Very easy to use, makes very professional looking images for documentation, that’s always up to date.

Brian #3: 3 Things to Know Before Building with PyScript

• by Braden Riggs

          [HTML_REMOVED]
      - numpy
      - pandas
      - paths:
          - /views.csv
          [HTML_REMOVED]
  

• • DOM manipulation has interesting conventions
  1. For buttons, you can include pys-onClick=”your_function” parameter to trigger python functions when clicked.
  2. For retrieving user input from within the [HTML_REMOVED] tag document.getElementById(‘input_obj_id’).value can retrieve the input value.
  3. And Finally pyscript.write(“output_obj_id”, data) can write output to a tag from within the [HTML_REMOVED] tag.
