Configuring Autograders
This documentation is under construction. Check back soon for detailed autograder configuration guides.
Summary of Autograding Architecture
The autograder system uses an “overlay grader” architecture that allows flexible grading configurations. Detailed documentation coming soon.Submission File Support
Pawtograder supports both text and binary files in student submissions:Text Files
Text files (code, markdown, configuration files, etc.) are displayed with syntax highlighting in the submission viewer. Students and graders can view the file contents directly in the browser.Binary Files
Binary files (images, PDFs, compiled executables, etc.) are supported in submissions. These files:- Are stored securely in the submission
- Can be downloaded by students and graders
- Display a download button in the file viewer
- Show file metadata (name, size, type)
Markdown Preview
Markdown files (.md, .markdown) in submissions are automatically rendered with a live preview. This allows students and graders to see formatted documentation, README files, and written responses without needing to download the file.
The markdown preview supports:
- Standard markdown syntax (headings, lists, links, code blocks)
- Inline code and code blocks with syntax highlighting
- Images and links
- Tables and blockquotes
