Functionality

This gem processes Metanorma documents following the Metanorma model for generating MLIT Project PLATEAU documents.

Project PLATEAU documents are found at:

• https://www.mlit.go.jp/plateau/libraries

The gem is built on top of metanorma-jis with customized rendering to meet requirements of MLIT’s Project PLATEAU.

It provides the following functions:

1. Compiles Metanorma input into the Metanorma-PLATEAU XML format

2. Validates XML output against the Metanorma-Plateau 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-Plateau XML is then converted into desired output formats.

The following outputs are supported:

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

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

  • HTML (.html)

  • PDF (.pdf)

Structure

This gem inherits from the metanorma-jis gem, and aligns closely to it.
