Dexweb is a Python library to generate a dex (website) from text, PDF, DOCX, PPTX and JSON files. Dexweb documentation and The Matrix Dex are generated by dexweb and freely hosted on GitHub Pages. Dexweb was built by Research Engine for scientists to host their own journals, companies to publish financial reports in HTML, users to blog with Python, and more. A dex is an online record readable by humans and bots.
