<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>Long post below, sorry.</p>
<p>I understand the difficulty it creates to try and have the same file present instructions for different environments. This, unfortunately, has always been tricky. ON the other hand, maintaining two different versions, is I suspect not going to be doable (based on what happened in the past).<br>
The issue with maintaining two almost identical sets of instructions is personpower (e.g., this is why the wiki-based tutorial at <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Tutorial_for_New_Users" rel="nofollow">https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Tutorial_for_New_Users</a> is no longer maintained) needed to keep them in sync. At least with one notebook, there is only one file to keep up to date. Exporting to HTML is not the tricky bit I suspect, to me the trickiest parts were always getting things to work in the notebook and when copying an pasting commands to a terminal window.</p>
<p>Having a mechanical (no human intervention) way to export a read-only, laptop suitable version from the notebook would be very nice. I just do not see how to easily do it.</p>
<p>The “no human intervention” is very important. So far, each time we had a process requiring human action there has always been the need to double check (so at least review) results. Case in point tends to be our release announcements. Eg the current one on hyperspace (this is just the last time I noticed things, not to single out this particular instance, I can also point to instances where the typo etc is mine) <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/2021/12/09/new-einstein-toolkit-release-johnson/" rel="nofollow">https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/2021/12/09/new-einstein-toolkit-release-johnson/</a> reads:</p>
