Computus: Calendar and astronomical calculations.
Computus is a set of JavaScript modules (most of which have been written in TypeScript) that make calculations for the perpetual calendar with Easter and other moveable feast as well as astronomical calculations such as rise/noon/set times and positions for Sun, Moon and planets (ephemeris).
The code published in sergiolindau/Computus GitHub repository is hosted in computus.netlify.app for tests using Netlify hosting service.

All documentation and additional information written for this project was made in Mardown files with embedded wiki like references, inline JavaScripts, inline and displayed Latex, source code highlights and graphics. To render them in HTML, an engine was developed combining the Marked, MathJax, highlight.js and Chart.js APIs. See the Repositories of APIs used.
