Description

The web service was created to facilitate the writing of documentation and reports. The main task of this service is automatic formatting of sources according to GOST. The project was implemented in two days during an internship by students with no web development experience whatsoever. The purpose of the development was to simplify the writing of any documentation, in the light of a large number of sources. With this service, the process of writing documentation has been dramatically simplified.
