For RaESL's different subcommands and functionality, the wheel provides extras which you could provide instead of the all used above:

• doc: documentation generation using pandoc, Markdown and optionally LaTeX.
• jupyter: a Jupyter ESL kernel.
• pygments: an ESL syntax highlighter for pygments.
• rich: Rich doc output in the form of Plotly images.
• server: A language server to parse documents.

The default raesl compile command is always available.

Please refer to the usage documentation for more info on how to use RaESL.
