They've got a new web viewer in this issue that can be used to link to individual articles and might be nicer than reading a PDF on some screens: https://pagedout.institute/webview.php?issue=8&page=1
 help



The article I submitted has an HTML tag in the title, and seems to have broken the web viewer :(

Note that you can link to pages in a PDF with a hash like #page=64 (for example) in the URL.

https://pagedout.institute/download/PagedOut_008.pdf#page=64


Whoops. Looking into it.

EDIT: Fixed. It wasn't the tags - it was a trailing space we had in the "database". I honestly though I've handled that case, but apparently not .


Thanks! I also told Aga via email in the thread where I submitted my article.

Worth noting that the HTML tag in the title was stripped from the PDF table of contents as well, so the title for that article in the contents is missing a word. No big deal, but good to know for future submissions!


This goes to the "fix me" list. We're planning a rebuild in the next few days anyway, so it should get fixed then.

Still would like a straight html version for reading on a phone. One with resizable text and proper reflow.

This! Pdf is nice, but not on a slow device/connection.

This is really nice but I see this works only for the current issue i.e. #8 and not for previous issues.
