Metanorma Native PDF

The experimental PDFs are available here:

• Metanorma mn2pdf samples

Purpose

This repository pilots native PDF capabilities of Metanorma using XML-FO via Apache FOP.

Installing Build Tools

You will need mn2pdf, envsubst, make and a number of fonts.

On macOS

# Install `envsubst`
brew install gettext
brew link --force gettext

# Install cabextract
brew install cabextract

# Install Microsoft Vista fonts
export RENAME_FONTS=false
curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metanorma/vista-fonts-installer/master/vista-fonts-installer.sh | bash

Generating XSLT layouts (will be created under xslt/):
