Jeff Smith 2021-09-01 : Below is an online demo using CloudTk. This demo runs "Highlighter" in a Debian-Slim Linux Docker Container. It is a 162MB image which is made up of Debian-Slim Linux + tclkit-8.6.3 + libx11-6 + libxft2 + libxss1 + fontconfig + fonts-linuxlibertine +wget. It is run under a user account in the Container. The Container is restrictive with permissions for "Other" removed for "execute" and "read" for certain directories. Version of tclMuPdf used in this demo is 2.1.1.
Jeff Smith 2022-04-12 : I managed to compile tclMuPdf using BAWT in an Alpine Linux Docker Container. Therefore it has reduced the Container size of this demo from the previous 162MB using Debian-Slim to 85.9MB using Alpine Linux.
Please Note : This demo has a run time of 5 minutes.
ABU 2021-10-05 : Good online demo! but the native app is more responsive and pages are rendered at higher quality. Note that this online demo does not support MouseWheel (or trackpad gestures), so its usability is limited. If you like it, download the native app.
