Texture is a toolset for the production of scientific content. It has first-class support for JATS, the de facto standard for archiving and interchange of scientific open-access contents with XML.
Texture is still at an early alpha stage: there are likely to be missing features, bugs and API changes. But we would ❤️ to get your suggestions and 🐛 reports.
= ready for production use
= ready for beta user testing
= ready for alpha testing; use with caution
- Planned for release (e.g.
Alpha 4)
We generally only plan one or two releases ahead. We aim to do quaterly releases, towards a 1.0 release in 2018. Please see our more detailed ROADMAP.md document.

const { Texture } = window.texture
window.app = Texture.mount({
documentId: 'some-doc-id',
readXML: function(documentId, cb) {
// fetch an XML string to be read by the editor
},
writeXML: function(documentId, xml, cb) {
// write the XML string to a store
}
}, document.body)See our examples for complete integration scenarios. The best way to start is downloading the zip file from the latest release.

How can I test Texture with my own JATS-XML files?
The best way is to just download the latest release as a zip file and host it on a web-server. Next adjust editor.html and adjust readXML and writeXML functions. E.g. you can pull XML via Ajax based on a document id passed as an http parameter. Once you have that setup you can read your own files like so:
