Refactor content rendering
Closed, MigratedEdits Locked

Description

Currently, the Software Heritage web application enables to render the following content types:

  • highlighted code
  • image files
  • pdf files

In addition, README files written in:

  • markdown
  • reStructuredText
  • Org mode

are also rendered to HTML.

As the archive content grows, we would like to support more content type to render (see D1415 for instance).

This calls for a refactoring of the content rendering code, in the client part of the application, in favor of
a more modular implementation. Proceeding like this will facilitate the integration of new content type
rendering.
