Building the Draft

Formatted HTML for the draft can be built using make or gmake:

$ make

Installation and Setup

You will need to have the Python tools pygments and bikeshed to build the draft. Pygments can be obtained via pip, but Bikeshed will need to be downloaded with git:

git clone --depth=1 --branch=master https://github.com/tabatkins/bikeshed.git ./bikeshed
pip install pygments
pip install --editable ./bikeshed
bikeshed update

Continuous Integration & Branches

This repository uses a variation on martinthomson/i-d-template to generate the Editor's Draft on the gh-pages branch upon every merge to master. In order to prevent failed merges during continuous integration, the formatted Editor's Draft should not be checked in to master, and it is in the .gitignore file.
