Functionality

This gem processes Metanorma documents following the Metanorma model for generating IEC standards.

The gem is basically the https://github.com/metanorma/metanorma-iso gem, with some tweaking of rendering to meet the particular requirements of the IEC.

It provides the following functions:

  1. Compiles Metanorma input into the Metanorma-IEC XML format (which is identical to Metanorma-ISO, since the two standards share the same document model)

  2. Validates XML output against the Metanorma-IEC 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.

  3. Metanorma-IEC XML is then converted into desired output formats.

The following outputs are supported:

  • Primary: the canonical Metanorma-IEC XML representation (.xml).

  • Secondary: the Metanorma-IEC XML representation is processed to generate the following outputs as end deliverable IEC documents.

    • HTML (.html)

    • Word (.doc)

Structure

This gem inherits from the https://github.com/metanorma/metanorma-iso gem, and aligns closely to it.

Quickstart

Please see https://www.metanorma.com for instructions to get started.

If you are using a Mac, the https://github.com/metanorma/metanorma-macos-setup repository has instructions on setting up your machine to run Metanorma scripts such as this one. You need only run the following in a Terminal console:

$ bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metanorma/metanorma-macos-setup/master/metanorma-setup)
$ gem install metanorma-cli
$ gem install metanorma-iec

Usage

Using the metanorma CLI:

$ metanorma --type iec a.adoc                   # output HTML
$ metanorma --type iec --extensions html a.adoc # output just HTML
$ metanorma --type iec --extensions xml a.adoc  # output Metanorma XML

Authoring

Please refer to the Metanorma-ISO documentation for general documentation.
