+# Create a Hugging Face model repository for scikit learn models
+
+This page aims to provide a simple interface to use the
+[`skops`](https://skops.readthedocs.io/) model card and HF Hub creation
+utilities.
+
+Below, we will explain the steps involved to create your own model repository to
+host your scikit-learn model:
+
+1. Prepare the model repository
+2. Edit the model card
+3. Create the model repository on Hugging Face Hub
+
+## Step 1: Prepare the model repository
+
+In this step, you do the necessary preparation work to create a [model
+repository on Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/models).
+
+### Upload a model
+
+Here you should upload the sklearn model we want to present in the model
+repository. The model should be stored either as a ``pickle`` file or it should
+use the [secure skops persistence
+format](https://skops.readthedocs.io/en/stable/persistence.html). Later, this
+model will be uploaded to the model repository so that you can share it with
+others.
+
+The uploaded model should be a scikit-learn model or a model that is compatible
+with the sklearn API, e.g. using [XGBoost sklearn
+wrapper](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python/python_api.html#module-xgboost.sklearn)
+when it's an XGBoost model.
+
+If you just want to test out the application and don't want to upload a model, a
+dummy model will be used instead.
+
+### Upload input data
+
+It's possible to upload input data as a csv file. If that is done, the first few
+rows of the input data will be used as sample data for the model, e.g. when
+trying out the [inference API](https://huggingface.co/inference-api).
+
+
+### Choose the task type
+
+Choose the type of task that the model is intended to solve. It can be either
+classification or regression, with input data being either tabular in nature or
+text.
+
+### Requirements
+
+This is the list of Python requirements needed to run the model.
+
+### Choose the model card template
+
+This is the final step and choosing one of the options will bring you to the
+editing step.
+
+#### Create a new skops model card
+
+This is the recommended way of getting started. The skops model card template
+prefills the model card with some [useful
+contents](https://skops.readthedocs.io/en/stable/model_card.html#model-card-content)
+that you probably want to have in most model cards. Don't worry: If you don't
+like part of the content, you can always edit or delete it later.
+
+#### Create a new empty model card
+
+If you want to start the model card completely from scratch, that's also
+possible by choosing this option. It will generate a completely empty model card
+for you that you can fashion to your liking.
+
+#### Load existing model card from HF Hub
+
+If you want to use an existing model card and edit it, that's also possible.
+Please enter the Hugging Face Hub repository ID here and the corresponding model
+card will be loaded. The repo ID is typically someting like `username/reponame`,
+e.g. `openai/whisper-small`. Some models also omit the user name, e.g. `gpt2`.
+
+Note that when you choose an existing model card, a couple of files will be
+downloaded, because they may be required to render the model card (e.g. images).
+Therefore, depending on the repository, this step may take a bit.
+
+If you notice any problems when rendering the existing model card, please let us
+know by [creating an issue](https://github.com/skops-dev/skops/issues).
+
+## Step 2: Edit the model card
+
+Before creating the model repository, it is crucial to ensure that the [model
+card](https://huggingface.co/blog/model-cards) is edited to best represent the
+model you're working on. This can be achieved in the editing step, which is
+described in more detail below.
+
+### Editing sidbar
+
+In the left sidebar, you will be able to edit the model card, whereas the main
+screen is reserved for rendering the model card so that you see what you will
+get. We will start by describing the editing sidebar.
+
+Tip: You should increase the width of the side bar if it is too narrow for your
+taste.
+
+#### Undo, redo & reset
+
+On top of the side bar, you have the option to undo, redo, and reset the last
+operation you did. Say, you accidentally made a change, just press the `Undo`
+button to undo this change. Similarly, if you want to undo your undo operation,
+press the `Redo` button. Finally, if you press `Reset`, all your operations will
+be undone (but don't worry if you click the button accidentally, you can redo
+all of them if you want).
+
+#### Save, create repo & delete
+
+These buttons are intended for when you finished editing the model card. When
+you click on `Save`, you will get the option to download the model card as a
+markdown file.
+
+When clicking the `Create Repo` button, you will be taken to the next screen,
+which offers you to create a model repository on Hugging Face Hub. This step
+will be explained in more detail further below.
+
+Finally, you can click on `Delete` to completely discard all the changes you
+made and be taken back to the start screen of the app. Be careful, any change
+you made will be lost. It is thus advised to first save the model card before
+pressing `Delete`.
+
+#### Edit a section
+
+Each section has its own form field, which allows you to make edits. Change the
+name of the section or change the content (or both), then click `Update` to see
+a preview of your change. As with all other operations, you can undo the change
+by clicking on `Undo`.
+
+#### Delete a section
+
+Below the form field for editing the section, you will find a `Delete` button
+(including the name of the section to make it clear which section it refers to).
+If you click that button, the whole section, _including its subsections_, will
+be deleted. Again, click on `Undo` if you accidentally deleted something that
+you want to keep.
+
+#### Add section below
+
+If you click on this button, a new subsection wil be created under the current
+section. This will create a section with a dummy title and dummy content, which
+you can then edit.
+
+Note that this will create a new _subsection_. If there are already existing
+subsections in the current section, the new subsection will be created _below_
+those existing subsections. So the new subsection you create might not appear
+exactly where you expect it to appear. To illustrate this, assume that we have
+the following sections and subsections:
+
+- Section A
+  - Subsection A.1
+  - Subsection A.2
+- Section B
+
+If you create a new section below "Section A", it will be created on the same
+level, and below of, "Subsection A.2", resulting in the following structure:
+
+- Section A
+  - Subsection A.1
+  - Subsection A.2
+  - NEW SUBSECTION
+- Section B
+
+If you create a new section below the "Subsection A.1", you will actually create
+a sub-subsection, resulting in the following structure instead:
+
+- Section A
+  - Subsection A.1
+    - NEW SUB-SUBSECTION
+  - Subsection A.2
+- Section B
+
+Hopefully, this clarifies things. Unfortunately, there is no possibility (yet)
+to re-order sections.
+
+#### Add figure below
+
+This button works quite similarly to adding a new section. The main difference
+is that instead of having a text area to enter content, you will be asked to
+upload an image file. By default, a dummy image will be shown in the preview.
+
+#### Add metrics (only skops template)
+
+If you have chosen the skops template, you will see an additional field called
+`Add metrics` near the top of the side bar. Here you can choose metrics you want
+to be shown in the model card, e.g. the accuracy the model achieved on a
+specific dataset. Please enter one metric per line, with the metric name on the
+left, then an `=` sign, and the value on the right, e.g. `accuracy on test set =
+0.85`.
+
+After pressing `update`, the metrics will be shown in a table in the section
+`Model description/Evaluation Results`. You can always add or remove metrics
+from this field later. If you want to delete this section completely, look for
+its edit form further below and press `Delete`. There, you can also edit the
+table in a more fine grained way, e.g. by changing the alignment.
+
+If you don't use the skops template and still want to add a table, it is
+possible to do that, but it's requires a bit more work. Add a new section as
+described above, then, in the text area, create a table using the [markdown
+table
+syntax](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/organizing-information-with-tables#creating-a-table).
+
+### Model card visualization
+
+The main part of the page will show you what the final model card will look
+like.
+
+#### Metadata
+
+On the very top, you can see the metadata of the model card (it is collapsed by
+default). The metadata can be very useful for features on the HF Hub, e.g.
+allowing other users to find your model by a given tag.
+
+Right now, it is not possible to edit the metadata directly from here. But don't
+worry, once you have created the model card repository, you can easily edit the
+metadata there.
+
+#### Table of Contents
+
+For your convenience, a table of contents is also shown at the top (collapsed by
+default). This is useful if you have a bigger model card and want to see the
+overview of all its contents.
+
+#### Markdown preview
+
+Finally, the model card itself is shown. This is how the model card will look
+like once it is saved as markdown and then rendered.
+
+## Step 3: Creating a model repository
+
+After you have finished editing the model card, it is time to create a model
+repository on Hugging Face Hub. Click on `Create Repo` and you will be taken to
+the final step of the process.
+
+### Back & Delete
+
+If you find yourself wanting to make more edits to the model card, just click on
+the `Back` button and you'll be brought back to the editing step.
+
+You can also click `Delete`, which will discard all your changes and bring you
+back to the start page. Be careful: This step cannot be undone and all your
+progress will be lost.
+
+### Files included in the repository
+
+For your convenience, this will show a preview of all the files included in the
+repository, as well as their sizes. Don't create a repository if you see files
+there that you don't want to be uploaded.
+
+### Privacy settings
+
+By default, a private repository will be created. If you untick this box, it
+will be public instead. More information on what that implies can be found in
+the [docs on repository
+settings](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/repositories-settings).
+
+### Name of the repository
+
+Here you have to enter the name of the repository. Typically, that's something
+like `username/reponame` or `organame/reponame`. This field is mandatory and you
+should ensure that the corresponding repository ID does not exist yet.
+
+### Enter your Hugging Face token
+
+Here you need to paste your Hugging Face token, which is used for
+authentication. The token can be found [here](https://hf.co/settings/token) and
+it always starts with "hf_". Entering a token is necessary to create a
+repository.
+
+Note that if you don't already have an account on Hugging Face, you need to
+create one to get a token. It's free.
+
+### Create a new repository
+
+Once all the required fields are filled, click on this button to create the
+repository. Depending on the size, it may take a couple of seconds to finish.
+Once it is created, you will see a success notification that includes the link
+to the repository. Congratulations, you're done!
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Not all skops features available
+
+This app is based on the [skops model card
+feature](https://skops.readthedocs.io/en/stable/model_card.html#model-card-content).
+However, it does not support all the options that are available there. If you
+want to use all those options in a programmatic fashion, please follow the link
+and read up on what it takes to create a model card with skops. The full power
+of the `Card` class is documented
+[here](https://skops.readthedocs.io/en/stable/modules/classes.html#skops.card.Card).
+
+### Strange behavior
+
+If the app behaves strangely, shows error messages, or renders incorrectly, it
+may be necessary to refresh the browser tab. This will take you back to the
+start page, with all progress being lost. If you can reproduce that behavior,
+please [creating an issue](https://github.com/skops-dev/skops/issues) and let us
+know.
+
+### Contact
+
+If you want to contact us, you can join our discord channel. To do that, follow
+[these
+instructions](https://skops.readthedocs.io/en/stable/community.html#discord).

+"""The editing page of the app
+
+This is the meat of the application. On the sidebar, the content of the model
+card is displayed in the form of editable fields. On the right side, the
+rendered model card is shown.
+
+In the side bar, users can:
+
+- edit the title and content of existing sections
+- delete sections
+- add new sections below the current section
+- add new figures below the current section
+
+Moreover, each action results in a "task" that is tracked in the task state. A
+task has a "do" and an "undo" method. This allows us to provide "undo" and
+"redo" features to the app, making it easier for users to experiment and deal
+with errors. The "reset" button undoes all the tasks, leading back to the
+initial model card.
+
+When the user is finished, there is a "save" button that downloads the model
+card. They can also click "delete" to start over again, leading them to the
+start page.

+
+This page aims to provide a simple interface to use the
+[`skops`](https://skops.readthedocs.io/) model card and HF Hub creation
+utilities.
+
+Below, we will explain the steps involved to create your own model repository to
+host your scikit-learn model:
+
+1. Prepare the model repository
+2. Edit the model card
+3. Create the model repository on Hugging Face Hub
+
+## Step 1: Prepare the model repository
+
+In this step, you do the necessary preparation work to create a [model
+repository on Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/models).
+
+### Upload a model
+
+Here you should upload the sklearn model we want to present in the model
+repository. The model should be stored either as a ``pickle`` file or it should
+use the [secure skops persistence
+format](https://skops.readthedocs.io/en/stable/persistence.html). Later, this
+model will be uploaded to the model repository so that you can share it with
+others.
+
+The uploaded model should be a scikit-learn model or a model that is compatible
+with the sklearn API, e.g. using [XGBoost sklearn
+wrapper](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python/python_api.html#module-xgboost.sklearn)
+when it's an XGBoost model.
+
+If you just want to test out the application and don't want to upload a model, a
+dummy model will be used instead.
+
+### Upload input data
+
+It's possible to upload input data as a csv file. If that is done, the first few
+rows of the input data will be used as sample data for the model, e.g. when
+trying out the [inference API](https://huggingface.co/inference-api).
+
+
+### Choose the task type
+
+Choose the type of task that the model is intended to solve. It can be either
+classification or regression, with input data being either tabular in nature or
+text.
+
+### Requirements
+
+This is the list of Python requirements needed to run the model.
+
+### Choose the model card template
+
+This is the final step and choosing one of the options will bring you to the
+editing step.
+
+#### Create a new skops model card
+
+This is the recommended way of getting started. The skops model card template
+prefills the model card with some [useful
+contents](https://skops.readthedocs.io/en/stable/model_card.html#model-card-content)
+that you probably want to have in most model cards. Don't worry: If you don't
+like part of the content, you can always edit or delete it later.
+
+#### Create a new empty model card
+
+If you want to start the model card completely from scratch, that's also
+possible by choosing this option. It will generate a completely empty model card
+for you that you can fashion to your liking.
+
+#### Load existing model card from HF Hub
+
+If you want to use an existing model card and edit it, that's also possible.
+Please enter the Hugging Face Hub repository ID here and the corresponding model
+card will be loaded. The repo ID is typically someting like `username/reponame`,
+e.g. `openai/whisper-small`. Some models also omit the user name, e.g. `gpt2`.
+
+Note that when you choose an existing model card, a couple of files will be
+downloaded, because they may be required to render the model card (e.g. images).
+Therefore, depending on the repository, this step may take a bit.
+
+If you notice any problems when rendering the existing model card, please let us
+know by [creating an issue](https://github.com/skops-dev/skops/issues).
+
+## Step 2: Edit the model card
+
+Before creating the model repository, it is crucial to ensure that the [model
+card](https://huggingface.co/blog/model-cards) is edited to best represent the
+model you're working on. This can be achieved in the editing step, which is
+described in more detail below.
+
+### Editing sidbar
+
+In the left sidebar, you will be able to edit the model card, whereas the main
+screen is reserved for rendering the model card so that you see what you will
+get. We will start by describing the editing sidebar.
+
+Tip: You should increase the width of the side bar if it is too narrow for your
+taste.
+
+#### Undo, redo & reset
+
+On top of the side bar, you have the option to undo, redo, and reset the last
+operation you did. Say, you accidentally made a change, just press the `Undo`
+button to undo this change. Similarly, if you want to undo your undo operation,
+press the `Redo` button. Finally, if you press `Reset`, all your operations will
+be undone (but don't worry if you click the button accidentally, you can redo
+all of them if you want).
+
+#### Save, create repo & delete
+
+These buttons are intended for when you finished editing the model card. When
+you click on `Save`, you will get the option to download the model card as a
+markdown file.
+
+When clicking the `Create Repo` button, you will be taken to the next screen,
+which offers you to create a model repository on Hugging Face Hub. This step
+will be explained in more detail further below.
+
+Finally, you can click on `Delete` to completely discard all the changes you
+made and be taken back to the start screen of the app. Be careful, any change
+you made will be lost. It is thus advised to first save the model card before
+pressing `Delete`.
+
+#### Edit a section
+
+Each section has its own form field, which allows you to make edits. Change the
+name of the section or change the content (or both), then click `Update` to see
+a preview of your change. As with all other operations, you can undo the change
+by clicking on `Undo`.
+
+#### Delete a section
+
+Below the form field for editing the section, you will find a `Delete` button
+(including the name of the section to make it clear which section it refers to).
+If you click that button, the whole section, _including its subsections_, will
+be deleted. Again, click on `Undo` if you accidentally deleted something that
+you want to keep.
+
+#### Add section below
+
+If you click on this button, a new subsection wil be created under the current
+section. This will create a section with a dummy title and dummy content, which
+you can then edit.
+
+Note that this will create a new _subsection_. If there are already existing
+subsections in the current section, the new subsection will be created _below_
+those existing subsections. So the new subsection you create might not appear
+exactly where you expect it to appear. To illustrate this, assume that we have
+the following sections and subsections:
+
+- Section A
+  - Subsection A.1
+  - Subsection A.2
+- Section B
+
+If you create a new section below "Section A", it will be created on the same
+level, and below of, "Subsection A.2", resulting in the following structure:
+
+- Section A
+  - Subsection A.1
+  - Subsection A.2
+  - NEW SUBSECTION
+- Section B
+
+If you create a new section below the "Subsection A.1", you will actually create
+a sub-subsection, resulting in the following structure instead:
+
+- Section A
+  - Subsection A.1
+    - NEW SUB-SUBSECTION
+  - Subsection A.2
+- Section B
+
+Hopefully, this clarifies things. Unfortunately, there is no possibility (yet)
+to re-order sections.
+
+#### Add figure below
+
+This button works quite similarly to adding a new section. The main difference
+is that instead of having a text area to enter content, you will be asked to
+upload an image file. By default, a dummy image will be shown in the preview.
+
+#### Add metrics (only skops template)
+
+If you have chosen the skops template, you will see an additional field called
+`Add metrics` near the top of the side bar. Here you can choose metrics you want
+to be shown in the model card, e.g. the accuracy the model achieved on a
+specific dataset. Please enter one metric per line, with the metric name on the
+left, then an `=` sign, and the value on the right, e.g. `accuracy on test set =
+0.85`.
+
+After pressing `update`, the metrics will be shown in a table in the section
+`Model description/Evaluation Results`. You can always add or remove metrics
+from this field later. If you want to delete this section completely, look for
+its edit form further below and press `Delete`. There, you can also edit the
+table in a more fine grained way, e.g. by changing the alignment.
+
+If you don't use the skops template and still want to add a table, it is
+possible to do that, but it's requires a bit more work. Add a new section as
+described above, then, in the text area, create a table using the [markdown
+table
+syntax](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/organizing-information-with-tables#creating-a-table).
+
+### Model card visualization
+
+The main part of the page will show you what the final model card will look
+like.
+
+#### Metadata
+
+On the very top, you can see the metadata of the model card (it is collapsed by
+default). The metadata can be very useful for features on the HF Hub, e.g.
+allowing other users to find your model by a given tag.
+
+Right now, it is not possible to edit the metadata directly from here. But don't
+worry, once you have created the model card repository, you can easily edit the
+metadata there.
+
+#### Table of Contents
+
+For your convenience, a table of contents is also shown at the top (collapsed by
+default). This is useful if you have a bigger model card and want to see the
+overview of all its contents.
+
+#### Markdown preview
+
+Finally, the model card itself is shown. This is how the model card will look
+like once it is saved as markdown and then rendered.
+
+## Step 3: Creating a model repository
+
+After you have finished editing the model card, it is time to create a model
+repository on Hugging Face Hub. Click on `Create Repo` and you will be taken to
+the final step of the process.
+
+### Back & Delete
+
+If you find yourself wanting to make more edits to the model card, just click on
+the `Back` button and you'll be brought back to the editing step.
+
+You can also click `Delete`, which will discard all your changes and bring you
+back to the start page. Be careful: This step cannot be undone and all your
+progress will be lost.
+
+### Files included in the repository
+
+For your convenience, this will show a preview of all the files included in the
+repository, as well as their sizes. Don't create a repository if you see files
+there that you don't want to be uploaded.
+
+### Privacy settings
+
+By default, a private repository will be created. If you untick this box, it
+will be public instead. More information on what that implies can be found in
+the [docs on repository
+settings](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/repositories-settings).
+
+### Name of the repository
+
+Here you have to enter the name of the repository. Typically, that's something
+like `username/reponame` or `organame/reponame`. This field is mandatory and you
+should ensure that the corresponding repository ID does not exist yet.
+
+### Enter your Hugging Face token
+
+Here you need to paste your Hugging Face token, which is used for
+authentication. The token can be found [here](https://hf.co/settings/token) and
+it always starts with "hf_". Entering a token is necessary to create a
+repository.
+
+Note that if you don't already have an account on Hugging Face, you need to
+create one to get a token. It's free.
+
+### Create a new repository
+
+Once all the required fields are filled, click on this button to create the
+repository. Depending on the size, it may take a couple of seconds to finish.
+Once it is created, you will see a success notification that includes the link
+to the repository. Congratulations, you're done!
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Not all skops features available
+
+This app is based on the [skops model card
+feature](https://skops.readthedocs.io/en/stable/model_card.html#model-card-content).
+However, it does not support all the options that are available there. If you
+want to use all those options in a programmatic fashion, please follow the link
+and read up on what it takes to create a model card with skops. The full power
+of the `Card` class is documented
+[here](https://skops.readthedocs.io/en/stable/modules/classes.html#skops.card.Card).
+
+### Strange behavior
+
+If the app behaves strangely, shows error messages, or renders incorrectly, it
+may be necessary to refresh the browser tab. This will take you back to the
+start page, with all progress being lost. If you can reproduce that behavior,
+please [creating an issue](https://github.com/skops-dev/skops/issues) and let us
+know.
+
+### Contact
+
+If you want to contact us, you can join our discord channel. To do that, follow
+[these
+instructions](https://skops.readthedocs.io/en/stable/community.html#discord).
