About build targets - aerix-nl/nota GitHub Wiki

Nota is a document engine made for writing templates that are near build target agnostic. We want you to focus on the content, not the medium. Nota currently supports the html and pdf file formats as build targets. Here's our stance on how they compete:

Feature support	HTML	PDF
File portability	✅ With inlined assets	✅ Good
Size	✅ Smallest	❌ Largest
Rendering speed	✅ Fastest	❌ Slowest
Viewer ubiquity	✅ Any browser	• Most platforms
Responsive reflow	✅ Extensive	❌ Completely static
Small device readability	✅ Extensive	❌ Zooming at best
Rendering consistency	✅ W3C standards	• Mostly consistent
Transfer as email	✅ As email body	• As attachment
Text selection	✅ Extensive	• Bugged (Linux only)
Embed media (e.g. video)	✅ Extensive	❌ Poor/ugly (Flash)
Media access (e.g. copy image)	✅ Extensive	❌ Closed
Scripting	✅ Reboot possible in browser	❌ Insecure and ugly at best
