Build script

The build script build.py uses as input:

• vocabulary/term_versions.csv: the list of terms
• terms.tmpl: a Jinja2 template for the quick reference guide

To create:

• The quick reference guide as a Markdown file at docs/terms/index.md. The guide is build as Markdown (with a lot of included html) rather than html, so it can incorporated by Jekyll in the Darwin Core website (including a header, footer and table of content).
• Two simple Darwin Core CSV files in dist/

Run the build script

1. Install the required libraries (once):

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

2. Run the script from the command line:

   python build.py
   

Generating the "normative document"

The script generate_normative_csv.py pulls source data from the rs.tdwg.org GitHub repo. No local files are required.

It outputs the file term_versions.csv, which is used as the input for the build.py script above.
