## Building from source
### Requirements
Building from source requires:
- [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org)
- [GNU Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/)
### Steps
1. Download the latest release or clone the repo:
```
git clone https://github.com/anthonyscorrea/cmba-bylaws.git
```
2. Navigate to the root directory:
```
cd cmba-bylaws-master
```
3. Publish into desired format:
```
make {format}
```
were `{format}` is one of the below:
- All [default]: `make all` or `make`
- PDF: `make pdf`
- html: `make html`
- epub: `make epub`
5. Built files will be in the `build/` directory
## Markdown formatting
- `#` or `h1` is used for either "Constitution" or "Bylaws". They are not numbered, necessitating an `{.unnumbered}` class.
- Note: to get the numbering to match existing convention, a [Lua filter](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/5071#issuecomment-856918980) was required, see [jgm/pandoc#5701](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/5071)
- `##` or `h2` is used for sections
- `###` or `h3` is used for subsections
## Metadata
Metadata is stored in the `metadata.yml` file.
## Project history
The constitution and bylaws were modernized in 2021, using Google Docs. This project brings that effort into Git and Github. Previous commits show a generated plain-text history of the changes prior to this project (thanks to [gitdriver](https://github.com/larsks/gitdriver)), with the first being the version from 2016.
## Spell-checking
Spell-checking is performed on the pre-commit via [.spell-check/git-spell-check](.spell-check/git-spell-check) (courtesy of [mprpic/git-spell-check](https://github.com/mprpic/git-spell-check))
You can manually run spell-checking of all markdown files by running the script (requires [aspell](http://aspell.net)):
```console
./.spell-check/spell-check
```
Should you want to bypass the pre-commit hook (though not recommended), you can commit with
```console
git commit --no-verify".
```
## GitHub Pages
The html output can be hosted on GitHub Pages. Currently the site is hosted at the branch [gh-pages](https://github.com/anthonyscorrea/cmba-bylaws/tree/gh-pages). To update this page, you should:
1. First build from the main branch and build html
```console
git clone https://github.com/anthonyscorrea/cmba-bylaws.git
make html
```
2. Then clone the gh-pages branch and replace `index.html` with the updated page.
```console
git clone https://github.com/anthonyscorrea/cmba-bylaws.git --branch gh-pages cmba-bylaws-gh-pages
cp ../cmba-bylaws/build/cmba-bylaws.html ./cmba-bylaws-gh-pages/index.html
git push origin
```
## To-Do
- [X] Spell Checking
- [ ] Remove dependence on make, verify Windows support
