 ## Building
 
 The project is built with [SvelteKit](https://kit.svelte.dev/) and uses as output static files.
 There are others adapters for sveltekit, but we use the static adapter.
 
 To build the frontend as static assets, use:

 ```
 npm run build

 The output is in the `build` folder.
 
 The default build assume you serve every non static files as the 200.html file which is catchall. If you prefer a normal layout, you can use:
+
 ```
 NOTCATCHALL=true npm run build
 ```

 which will generate an index.html and allow you to serve the frontend with any static server.
 
 Env variables used for build are set in .env file. See [https://vitejs.dev/guide/env-and-mode.html#env-files](https://vitejs.dev/guide/env-and-mode.html#env-files) for more details.
