Generate QC report for STARsolo (html)

Question

[PianoEntropy]

I found an example of a QC report (html format) generated for STARsolo alignment QC, but I've been unable to find any reference on how this was generated. Does anyone know the tool that was used to generate this html file?

multiQC can produce HTML output, I am not sure if it supports STARsolo output though or if that specific output was created by it.

To me, it seems it is just text parsing (from the log file) and rendering the results using HTML (probably bootstrap) and javascript.

Thanks. I'm not proficient with javascript, so wouldn't know directly how to write such a script from scratch. If you know any existing tools to generate a similar report I'd be glad to know.

Generally, these htmls are based on a templating engine, to generate the scheme. For python user, probably, Jinja is helpful.

For R user, writing an R markdown file to parse the parameter and data, and visualise them. After that, convert the rmd into HTML in Rstudio.
