Iterates through all the Relaton files (YAML and XML) in Source-Directory, and concatenates them into a Relaton Collection file. The extension of the Collection file can be set using the Relaton-Collection-File file name (i.e, if it uses an extension of yaml, a Relaton YAML file will be created; if rxl, a Relaton XML file will be created, or via the -x [ext] (or --extension) option.

For each Relaton input file in the Source-Directory, if a document file with the same base name is identified (i.e. an XML, HTML, PDF or DOC file), a link to that file is inserted.

If the TITLE or ORGANIZATION options are given, they are added to the Collection-File output as the title and author of the Relaton-Collection-File document.

Splits a Relaton-Collection-File into multiple files in the Relaton-File-Directory, and it also suports an additional -x or --extension options to use different extension.

Fetch the Relaton XML entry corresponding to the document identifier CODE.

• YEAR is optional, and specifies the year of publication of the standard.

• FORMAT is optional, and specifies the output format; the recognised values for FORMAT are xml (default), bibtex.

• TYPE specifies the standards class library to be used, that the identifier is part of; the recognised values for TYPE are isobib, ietfbib, iecbib, gbbib.

Iterate through all the Metanorma XML files in Metanorma-XML-Directory, and extract the bibdata element from each. Save the bibdata element for each file to Relaton-XML-Directory, as the Relaton XML description for that file. If a document identifier is present in bibdata, it is used as the name of the file; otherwise, the original file name is used. The filename is suffixed with EXTENSION; by default, .rxl is used.

Render a Relaton Collection XML as an HTML file. Used to generate an HTML index of standards.

• relaton-xml is the Relaton Collection XML file.

• stylesheet is the CSS stylesheet to be used to style the output. For the CSS styling of each bibliographic element, see below.

• html-template-dir is a directory containing HTML Liquid Template files into which the bibliographic entries are to be inserted. There are two templates necessary:

  • Index template (index.liquid)

    • The HTML Template file _index.liquid recognises the following parameters:

    • css: where the CSS stylesheet stylesheet is injected

    • title: the Title of the collection, ./relaton-collection/title in relaton-xml

    • author: the Author of the collection, ./relaton-collection/contributor[role/@type = 'author']/organization/name in relaton-xml

    • content: the list of resources generated by the script

  • Individual bibliographic entries template (_document.liquid)

    • This template recognises attributes of a bibliographic entry (document) which follow the naming convention of Relaton YAML; e.g. document.html is the HTML URI for the document.

The default stylesheet and templates are given (which also demonstrates the structure) in the templates directory.

Sample HTML output for a bibliographic entry:

Convert a Relaton YAML file (filename.yaml) into a Relaton XML file (filename.xml). If the Relaton YAML file specifies multiple bibliograph items, and OUTPUT-DIRECTORY is nominated, also convert the file into a list of Relaton XML files for each entry, stored in that directory. The document identifier is used as the name of each Relaton XML file; the Relaton XML filename is suffixed with RELATON_EXTENSION (default .rxl) and prefixed with PREFIX (default empty). Any libraries that need to be required for the conversion are specified in LIBRARY as a space-delimited list.

A Relaton Collection YAML file contains some initial metadata, and a list of metadata about each bibliographic entry:

A Relaton YAML file describing an individual bibliographic entry is limited to metadata specific to that entry. Flavor gems have additional fields. The Relaton YAML illustrates the common fields supported by all flavor gems.

Convert a Relaton XML file (filename.xml or filename.rxl) into a Relaton YAML file (filename.yaml). If the Relaton XML file is a collection, and OUTPUT-DIRECTORY is nominated, also convert the file into a list of Relaton YAML files for each entry, stored in that directory. The document identifier is used as the name of each Relaton XML file; the Relaton XML filename is suffixed with RELATON_EXTENSION (default .yaml) and prefixed with PREFIX (default empty). Any libraries that need to be required for the conversion are specified in LIBRARY as a space-delimited list.

Render a Relaton YAML file (filename.yaml) as an HTML file. The stylesheet and liquid-template-dir directories are as for relaton xml2html.
