What to upload:

Size limit: 50MB maximum.

How to create HTML files:

  • Quarto: quarto render document.qmd --to html (single file or zip the output folder)
  • Typst: Export to HTML when available
  • Jupyter: jupyter nbconvert --to html notebook.ipynb
  • MyST: Use MyST-Parser HTML export
  • Hand-coded: Write HTML directly

If your tool produces an HTML file plus a _files/ or assets directory, zip the whole output folder and upload the zip. Press will auto-detect the entry point.
