This repository contains code for a tool that can convert files in Portable Embosser Format (PEF), which contains braille text and can be used by blind people to read. The tool has support to download the content as HTML, or display the result directly in the browser.
Get some kind of live-server program, eg http-server from npm, or live-server in VS Code.
Example:
npm install http-server
node_modules/http-server/bin/http-server src/
All logic is handled with client-side javascript.
