Knowls not loading #21

Closed nelong closed 4 years ago

nelong commented 4 years ago

@mitchkeller I think you have a fix for this and wanted to check. Knowls are loading empty in most settings for me. I don't remember what the cause of this is or if there is a general fix. Let me know if you know what to do.

The knowls that load something whose original location is elsewhere in the book (so an xref to a figure or theorem, for instance) will show empty when viewing as a file. Knowls for things born there (solution to an example, for instance) will show up fine. You need to run python3 -m http.server --bind 127.0.0.1 in your HTML output directory (or just python if your system python is a python 3 instance). Then you can go to http://localhost:8000 in your browser. If you want to use a port other than 8000, insert it before the --bind 127.0.0.1 portion of the command.

So that works great for one instance of PreTeXt. I'm working at three ptx projects right now. Do I use a different port for each project so that I can access each of these separately?

Yup! When I was looking at both my branch and yours, I had mine on port 8000 and yours on 6565.

In reading your answer, so much of the backend server stuff made sense. I have no idea why I didn't put stuff together but I feel like I'm "getting" it now.

Closing this, since it's resolved. Will continue to exist in the closed issues in case that python one-liner needs to be found again.
