691c9d9ac6 Show the interface the pages describe, with pictures generated from a demo instance (#353)
Thirty-four pictures from scripts/screenshots.py in the postulo repository, each with alternative text, placed beside the text that describes it. Never retake one by hand: run the script.

Career record, CVs, documents, Design, Accessibility: skills need a group, anonymous CV titles, the Documents menu, fieldsets
A skill needs a group and those without one are listed on the overview; deleting a career entry
removes its CV rows; a CV with contact details off does not name its holder in its title; the
four Documents lists have a section menu and Files filter by kind; a group of choices is a
fieldset with a legend; the Tags list is labelled with scripts off; switch knobs follow the
reading direction and a select's open list is painted from the same tokens in both themes;
Europass import strips markup, skips what the account holds and places entries by date; saved
views survive a width drag and can be named in any script.

Say what a draft, a second export and the other formats keep, and how versions compare
CVs says that *Download draft PDF* keeps nothing and that exporting
an unchanged CV hands back the version already kept, and gains two
sections: the CV as plain text or a Word file, filed nowhere, and
comparing two versions line by line. Cover letters gains the letter's
draft and the list of versions it was sent as.

Files and what you sent says what a snapshot now keeps (a CV's words
beside its markup), that a draft is not a version, how a second export
is checked against its checksum before it is handed back, and that a
store is sent what was handed over and not a PDF exported on its own,
with what upgrading withdraws from the queue. Writing a plugin says the
same of `put`, which had promised every document.

The CV and letter previews are on their own pages
The preview is a frame beside the entries, redrawn after every change;
the letter's application picker redraws its frame in place. Both keep
*Open on its own* for the document in a tab of its own.

The documents Postulo renders are tagged, and stop guessing
*Accessibility* listed untagged PDFs as a known gap, which they no longer are: a
CV, a portfolio, a letter and a report all come out as PDF/UA with a tag tree, so
the language they declare finally reaches a reader and the words come back in the
order they are meant to be read in. The page says so, says why PDF/A is
deliberately not claimed, and *CVs* points at it from the export step.

*Cover letters* gained a sixth placeholder, `{{ contact }}`, and two things the
page could not have described before: the application picker that opens a preview
reading the way the employer will read it, and the marker a placeholder with
nothing behind it shows instead of a blank, with the warning before freezing that
goes with it. The ordering step on *CVs* now describes what the arrows actually
do, which is move an entry past its neighbour.

*Your career record* had the Europass import promising a level for every
language. A file that states none now leaves the language without one, and the
language the file itself is written in is taken as the language of your career
record where you have not chosen one -- which is the setting that decides what
Postulo reports as untranslated.

Take the pages over from postulo/wiki, which this repository now replaces
Until now this was a copy of postulo/wiki, refreshed by postulo's
scripts/publish-wiki.sh whenever somebody remembered to run it. The last
time was 5 September (postulo@9645ee1). This brings it to postulo@b6cfb8f7:

- the four pages that never arrived: Accessibility, Hardening, Listings
  and Reports;
- the seventeen that had changed since;
- the images, which the script never copied because it copied *.md and
  nothing else, so Home has shown its logo and its Buy me a coffee button
  broken since the day they were added.

Nothing here was lost: every earlier commit is a publish, and the pages
they left matched postulo/wiki at 9645ee1 exactly.

From here pages are written in this repository and nowhere else.
