Metanorma for BIPM: Metanorma processor for Bureau International de Poids et Mesures

Functionality

This gem processes Metanorma documents following a template for generating BIPM standards.

Usage

The preferred way to invoke this gem is via the metanorma script:

$ metanorma --type bipm a.adoc                   # output HTML and PDF
$ metanorma --type bipm --extensions html a.adoc # output just HTML
$ metanorma --type bipm --extensions pdf a.pdf   # output just PDF
$ metanorma --type bipm --extensions xml a.adoc  # output Metanorma XML

The gem translates the document into Metanorma XML format, and then validates its output against the BIPM Metanorma 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 into output formats such as HTML and PDF.
