Metanorma processor for CSA documents
Functionality
This gem processes Metanorma documents following a template for generating CSA documents.
The gem currently inherits from the https://github.com/metanorma/metanorma-standoc gem, and aligns closely to it. Refer to the ISO gem documentation for guidance, including https://github.com/metanorma/metanorma-iso/wiki/Guidance-for-authoring
The following outputs are generated.
-
Metanorma XML
-
HTML output (from Metanorma XML)
-
PDF output (from Metanorma XML)
Usage
The preferred way to invoke this gem is via the metanorma command:
$ metanorma --type csa a.adoc # output just HTML
$ metanorma --type csa a.adoc --extensions html # output just HTML
$ metanorma --type csa a.adoc --extensions xml # output CSAND XMLThe gem translates the document into CSAND XML format, and then validates its output against the CSAND XML document model; errors are reported to console against the XML, and are intended for users to check that they have provided all necessary components of the document.
The gem then converts the XML to HTML, and
outputs that files with the appropriate .html suffix.
