Project: Structured documents with Light Client

Problem

If someone wants to insert formatted content into the application the only way is using the frontend. But that task is not easily automated. So having a programmer friendly interface allowing that would be nice

Solution

The current lightclient CLI abstracts the complexity of handling the low level protobufs and exposes some useful task to the user. We can make availiable the create-draft command so if the user wants to write something like this:

Title
  Authors data
#Abstract
  Abstract Text
#Introduction
 #Brief1
   Block1
   Block2
#Main Text
   [/home/user/image.jpg]
