<h1 id="document-formatting-act-2022">Document Formatting Act 2022</h1>
|
||
<p>This document outlines the required usage of the CommonMark Markdown
|
||
specification within Arsenio Pact documents for the purpose of
|
||
standardization.</p>
|
||
<p>For information about the Markdown format not covered within the
|
||
contents of this document, consult the <a
|
||
href="https://spec.commonmark.org/">CommonMark Specification</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>This document was written by members of the Anyakovan Institute of
|
||
Technology (AKIT) to promote concise writing & easy dissemination of
|
||
legal material to the public.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="motivation">Motivation</h2>
|
||
<p>There is an unnecessary overhead for auditors of the Arsenio Pact’s
|
||
documents, and a simple, foolproof standard would greatly improve the
|
||
archival process.</p>
|
||
<p>Markdown is a good compromise between functionality & ease of
|
||
use; it is readable as both plaintext or parsed in a variety of formats,
|
||
namely HTML, PDF, or ODT.</p>
|
||
<p>The CommonMark specification is an ideal default specification to
|
||
adhere to, due to its barebones feature set and loose formatting.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="implementation">Implementation</h2>
|
||
<p>The Arsenio Pact & its member states must do the following:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Write all future documents in the CommonMark Markdown specification.
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Documents must use the <code>.md</code>, <code>mkdn</code>,
|
||
<code>.mdown</code>, or <code>.markdown</code> file extensions.</li>
|
||
<li>Documents must not use unsupported extensions of the Markdown format
|
||
that are not present within CommonMark. This is especially important
|
||
when converting documents using GFM (Github Flavoured Markdown).</li>
|
||
<li>For compatibility, documents must not contain inline HTML.</li>
|
||
</ul></li>
|
||
<li>Convert all previous documents to Markdown.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Additionally, writers are encouraged (but not required) to do the
|
||
following:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Use a proper CommonMark compatible editor, such as <a
|
||
href="https://vscodium.com/">VSCodium</a>, <a
|
||
href="https://atom.io/">Atom</a>, <a href="https://brackets.io/">Adobe
|
||
Brackets</a>, or <a href="markdown.pioul.fr/">MOME</a>.</li>
|
||
<li>Use a Markdown Linter, such as <a
|
||
href="https://github.com/DavidAnson/vscode-markdownlint">vscode-markdownlint</a>.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="applicable-documents">Applicable Documents</h3>
|
||
<p>The usage of the term “official document” describes legislation,
|
||
treaties, guidelines, and any other information intended for
|
||
distribution to an administrative body.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="exemptions">Exemptions</h2>
|
||
<p>This law may be reevaluated to further extend the list of supported
|
||
formats. Another format can be introduced if it adheres to the
|
||
following:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Can be written without a compatible editor.</li>
|
||
<li>Can be quickly converted to HTML & PDF.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Common examples of compatible text formats include
|
||
<code>.textile</code>, <code>.rdoc</code>, <code>.org</code>,
|
||
<code>.creole</code>, <code>.mediawiki</code>/<code>wiki</code>,
|
||
<code>.rst</code>,
|
||
<code>.asciidoc</code>/<code>adoc</code>/<code>asc</code>, &
|
||
<code>.pod</code>.</p>
