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.
