This is the maintenance tool for the online Catalog of Teratogenic Agents.

Deployment

This uses Google App Engine, Google Cloud Storage for a database.

Database

The 'database' is a single text file with LaTeX markup. Originally this package (its ancestors, anyway) produced a real book. That was before the internet.

The LaTeX markup continues, but presently only the online editor is supported.
