How to Edit the Draft for Publication

In each sub directory, you can find the relevant files for the publication process. In general, you should always consult the W3C Guide page at https://www.w3.org/Guide.

Checklist

• Make sure that you update the recent specification changes

Files

• Overview.html - static HTML for publication
• diff.html - diff between the previous published version and Overview.html
• index.html - same as the index.html at https://w3c.github.io/wot-scripting-api/ (or at the root of the repository), except for changing the respec option from ED to the version you are aiming at such as CR, WD, etc.
• static.html - static HTML generated by ReSpec from the index.html above

How to Generate Each File

Overview.html is generated as follows:

1. Copy index.html from the root of the repository.
2. Change specStatus to "NOTE" from "ED" (or "REC", "PR", etc.).
3. Generate static.html by ReSpec from https://w3c.github.io/wot-scripting-api/ (click "ReSpec" top right and choose "Export" then export as "HTML"). Make sure that you disable browser extensions or open in private window.
4. Output Overview.html as a result of HTML Tidy. Use the following command (tidy -ashtml -i static.html > Overview.html). The -ashtml option is needed until this issue is resolved at HTML Tidy.
5. Fix duplicate IDs (see fix-id.pl) caused by ReSpec not supporting conformance classes
   • cp Overview.html backup.html; ./fix-id.pl backup.html > Overview.html

How to Add your Edits based on the Pubrules Errors and Warnings

After checking Overview.html using the Pubrules checker, we have to edit index.html and then regenerate the static HTML based on the procedure above to make it easier to generate a Pull Request to update the original at https://w3c.github.io/wot-scripting-api/ later.

1. Edit index.html,
2. Generate static.html by ReSpec from the index.html (click "ReSpec" top right and choose "Export" then export as "HTML",
3. copy static.html to Overview.html and tidy it up,
4. If there are any remaining errors/warnings with the Pubrules checker results, repeat the edit by going back to #1.
5. Generate diff.html via http://services.w3.org/htmldiff

Note: You cannot use a tool like https://htmlpreview.github.io since they do not have static html as a resource that the pubrule checkers can use.

Manual Link Corrections

Some redirects come from specref not being up to date. In those cases, you need to manually update the final Overview.html.
