Get Started

To publish a Baseprint document succession, you first use Baseprinter to create a Baseprint document snapshot. A snapshot will become the first edition of your document. Authors need to be familiar with using a Command Line Interface (CLI) and editing text files in LaTeX or Markdown.

By signing up for the perm.pub pilot program, your research document will:

  • have a web page and PDF file archived in the Internet Archive,
  • be accessible from pilot.perm.pub (in addition to any other websites using open-source BaseprintPress),
  • help guide the direction and priorities of Baseprint software.

Hosting with BaseprintPress
