 ## Building the spec
 
 Building the spec is a two-step process. First, the majority of the conversion work is done via [Bikeshed](https://github.com/tabatkins/bikeshed). Second, we run a custom portion of the [Ecmarkup](https://github.com/bterlson/ecmarkup) pipeline to convert the algorithms from [Ecmarkdown](https://github.com/domenic/ecmarkdown) syntax into HTML, and to automatically add cross-references. This second step requires a recent version of [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) to be installed.
