Generating a PDF from ecmarkup

In order to produce a PDF, the front matter title, shortname, version, and date are mandatory. If generating a final annual edition, date should reflect the date of the Ecma GA which will ratify the Standard. For example:

title: ECMAScript® 2024 Language Specification
shortname: ECMA-262
version: 15<sup>th</sup> Edition
date: 2024-06-25

To generate markup for use in PDF conversion, make sure to include the options --assets, --assets-dir, and --printable. If you have images and styles to include, make sure to move them into your assets directory before running ecmarkup. For example:

mkdir -p out &&
cp -R images out &&
ecmarkup --assets external --assets-dir out --printable spec.html out/index.html

Then, from your spec's working directory, run prince to generate your PDF.

cd path/to/spec
prince --script ./node_modules/ecmarkup/js/print.js out/index.html -o path/to/output.pdf

This has been extensively tested with Prince 15. Earlier and later editions not guaranteed.
