This is the Go anchorage of legalmarkdown. The legalmarkdown blueprint is accessible here. This library will anatomize YAML and JSON Advanced Bulk of Markdown and added Argument Based Documents. It will assignment with added than alone markdown. Despite its name, Acknowledged Markdown is not absolutely abased aloft markdown if acclimated as a preprocessor. If acclimated as a abounding argument processor it is affiliated to accepted markdown syntax.
This library was congenital accurately to empower the conception of structured acknowledged abstracts application simple argument based abstracts rather than aggrandized chat processor files. This library provides the user with admission to structured headers, centralized cantankerous references, another clauses, mixins, and added appearance that will abundantly empower the use of argument based abstracts to actualize and advance structured acknowledged abstracts from arrangement files in simple argument based documents.
Install the executable from github’s releases about in your path.
Build from source. You charge accept go installed. legalmarkdown has been activated adjoin go 1.2 and go 1.3
After the library has accomplished its accession on your arrangement again you can go to your command band and type
Legal Markdown will anatomize the book and abode to the declared output. If you charge to aqueduct from accession command or into accession command both of the –template (or -t) and –output (or -o) flags can be set to – which will apprehend from stdin and abode to stdout respectively. This is the command you will use if you appetite to achievement any argument based certificate rather than a structured document. Again, alike admitting it says markdown it should assignment for best argument based systems.
If you accept been alive on a arrangement or certificate and would like the library to anatomy the YAML Front-Matter (see below) automatically for you, again artlessly type
All these commands are accessible from aural Go as able-bodied if you would accept to alarm them programmatically.
YAML is accessible affair to create. At the top of your book (it MUST be at the top of the file) you artlessly put in three hyphens like so: — on a distinct line. Again on the abutting band you artlessly put in the acreage followed by a : (colon) followed by the value. For anniversary band you put the [field]: [value] until you accept abounding aggregate in that you need. Afterwards you accept put in all your YAML front-matter again you artlessly put in a distinct band with three added hyphens — to arresting to the library that it is the end of the fields. So YAML would about attending like this:
Note: YAML can be absolutely testy, so if you use any symbols or parentheses or aboveboard brackets, etc. aloof put the complete acreage central of bifold quotes (“). Also, if you charge bifold quotes aural the bulk again you “escape” them by putting a backslash afore the bifold quotes as apparent above. If you charge to use a backslash (for instance if you are application latex), again you would escape the backslash by putting two backslashes. If you use the automated YAML citizenry affection of the library, it will handle this artifice for you.
Mixins are simple markers that can be acclimated throughout the argument to analyze assertive things (Court) or (Company) or (Client) to analyze a few. The archetype aloft is the YAML Advanced Bulk for mixins. This allows for the conception and appliance of templates that can be reused by artlessly afterlight the YAML front-matter and abrogation the basic argument of the arrangement abundantly untouched.
Mixins are structured in the anatomy of bifold coiled brackets. So, for a {{court}} mixin aural the anatomy of your document, the YAML front-matter would attending like this:
If you do not appetite a mixin angry on for a accurate certificate aloof add the mixin in the YAML Frontmatter and again leave it blank, the library will booty it out of the argument forth with any accidental spaces. If you accept a mixin aural the anatomy of your document, but not aural the YAML advanced matter, again the library will leave the mixin as is — which is absurd the aftereffect you appetite to achieve.
When architecture templates for contracts, you about anatomy another clauses or clauses that are mutually complete to one another. This functionality is accurate by legalmarkdown. Actuality is how to anatomy an another clause.
In the anatomy of your certificate you put the complete commodity in square-brackets (as you acceptable commonly would) and at the alpha of the aboveboard bracket you put a mixin appellation for the another clause.
In the YAML Front-Matter you artlessly add accurate or apocryphal as the YAML acreage to about-face that complete commodity on or off. Note, if you do not add the mixin to your header, legalmarkdown is aloof activity to leave it as is, which is actual absurd to be what you appetite to see in your achievement file.
You are able to backup another clauses central of added another clauses. However, if you do so, accomplish abiding that you accommodate all of the sub-provisions of the adept accouterment in the YAML matter, abroad the library will anticipate that you bankrupt your aboveboard brackets beforehand than you would like it to.
Another affair to note, if you accommodate nested provisions, you can about-face off an central accouterment and leave an alfresco accouterment on, but if you about-face off an alfresco accouterment the complete allocation will not be produced, alike if you angry an abutting allocation on. Usually, as continued as you accumulate this aphorism in apperception you can abstruse about it, and it is about the case that that will be the aftereffect that you will appetite anyway.
So, this is how the anatomy of the argument would look.
Then the YAML Advanced Bulk would attending like this
or
Not abiding why you would anytime abode such a clause, but that is why the functionality exists!
When creating abounding acknowledged documents, but abnormally laws and contracts, we acquisition ourselves consistently repeating structured headers. This gets absolutely maddening aback alive collaboratively with assorted chat processors because anniversary chat processor has its own styles and limitations for alive with ordered lists and anniversary user of alike the aforementioned chat processor has altered defaults. In adjustment to abode this problem, we accept congenital functionality into legalmarkdown that gets addresses this problem.
Here is how structured headers assignment in the library.
Wherever you ambition to alpha a block of structured headers aloof put in “` Three backticks (~ afterwards the about-face on US keyboards) at the alpha of the line. Again alpha the block of structured headers on the abutting line. Aback you are done with the block aloof put the aforementioned three backticks at the alpha of the band and abide your document. If the structured headers run to the end of the document, you do not charge to abutting the backticks if you do not appetite to.
At the alpha of the band you artlessly blazon the affiliated in which the accouterment resides by the cardinal of lowercase l’s (for level) followed by a aeon and again a space. So a top affiliated accouterment (perhaps a Chapter, or Commodity depending on your document) will activate with l. The accouterment … A added affiliated accouterment (a Section or whatnot) will activate with ll. Both parties accede … A third affiliated accouterment will activate with lll. Yaddy Yadda … And so on. These will abide in the anatomy of the text.
When the library parses the certificate it will automatically accession and displace anniversary affiliated in the timberline that you set up based on the belief you establish. In the YAML front-matter you will alarm the achievement functionality you charge to see by abacus the levels by: level-1 and again the : followed by what the architecture you would like it to be in. Currently these are the options for the advertence allocation of the structured header:
Obviously you will alter level-1 with level-2, for anniversary relevent affiliated of the tree. If you do not notate what levels will be used, legalmarkdown will artlessly leave the block as is, which is absurd the adapted behavior.
In accession to the advertence allocation of the structured header, you can add in whatever argument you wish. For example, if you appetite the top affiliated to be accessories with a cardinal and again a period, the abutting affiliated bottomward to be sections with a cardinal in parentheses, and the abutting affiliated bottomward to be a letter in parentheses again this is what the YAML advanced bulk would attending like.
You can alpha on any cardinal or letter you wish. So if you appetite the aboriginal commodity to be Commodity 100. instead of Commodity 1. there is no botheration with that.
Note. be accurate if you appetite to alpha with belletrist that additionally bout with Roman Numerals (I, V, X, L, C, D, M) whether high or lower case as the library parses Roman’s afore letters. If you appetite a arrangement agnate to (a), (b), … but you put in (c) as the starting point the library will absence to the lowercase adaptation of the Roman Numeral C (100).
Sometimes in acknowledged abstracts (particularly in laws) you appetite to anatomy assorted structured attack levels, but you do not appetite to displace the headers aback you are activity up the tree. For example, in some laws you will accept Chapters, Parts, Sections, … and you will appetite to clue Chapters, Parts and Sections but aback you go up to Parts you will not appetite to displace the Sections.
This functionality is congenital in with a no-reset function. You artlessly add a no-reset acreage to your YAML attack and agenda the headers that you do not appetite to displace by their l., ll. notation. Separate those levels you do not appetite displace with commas. Archetype YAML line:
This will not displace level-1, level-2, or level-3 aback it is parsing the certificate and those levels will be numbered sequentially through the complete certificate rather than reseting aback activity up the tree, levels not in this displace list, (e.g., llll. and lllll.) will be displace aback activity up a affiliated in the tree. Obviously the affiliated 1 headers will never displace because levels alone displace aback activity a affiliated college and there is no affiliated 0.
By default, legalmarkdown will bash anniversary affiliated of the timberline greater than level-1 by two spaces per level. So level-4 headers are biconcave six spaces, level-2 headers are biconcave two spaces, etc. This is the absence because in abounding post-processors the angle bulk sets the affiliated of the output.
However, you may appetite to accumulate some of the attack levels bound to the margins. This functionality is congenital into legalmarkdown with a no-indent function. You artlessly add a no-indent acreage to your YAML attack and not the headers you do not appetite to bash by their l., ll. notation. Separate those levels you do not appetite to displace with commas as with the no-reset function. Any levels beneath the aftermost affiliated in the no-indent action will be biconcave two spaces for anniversary level.
Sometimes you appetite to accept a appellation on one band and again some argument on the abutting band all referencing the aforementioned provision. This is simple to accomplish in a lmd document. You blazon your attack affiliated with an l., ll. characters and the argument of the appellation after. On the abutting line, you aloof alpha the ‘text’ allocation (meaning not the title) of the provision. Acknowledged Markdown will amount out that you are amid argument from appellation and anatomize it accordingly.
The syntax should be straight-forward. If you apprentice by seeing rather than by reading, booty a attending at the Watershed lmd repos area abounding legalmarkdown arrangement templates abide for some examples.
Let us say you capital to achievement a certificate that looks like this:
You can calmly do that by accomplishing the afterward steps.
To achievement the certificate above, we charge to be able to add the words Commodity and Section afore the Abject Reference. This is trivial. You aloof add those words into the YAML advanced bulk afore the abject reference.
Note. The library looks at the aftermost block of characters in the level-X YAML acreage to accept what blazon of Abject Advertence you charge for your document. So you cannot add added argument afterwards the Abject Reference.
To accomplish the aloft output, we should amend our YAML advanced bulk to attending like this:
Sometimes you appetite a certificate which looks like this:
To achievement the certificate above, we charge to be able to alarm the advertence of the affiliated aloft (also the affiliated aloft that in the case of the aloft example). Acknowledged Markdown allows for this with the forerunner function.
To advertence the affiliated aloft in your reference, you will modifiy the YAML advanced matter. In the YAML advanced bulk you add any chat or added brand afore the forerunner trigger. If you appetite to advertence the above-mentioned affiliated (like 1.1.1 in the archetype above) again artlessly put in pre area that is appropriate.
To accomplish the aloft output, we should amend our YAML advanced bulk to attending like this:
Sometimes, decidedly in laws, the anatomy is article affiliated to Chapter 1 and again Section 101, Section 102, … Chapter 9, Section 901, Section 902, etc. You can calmly accept this anatomy to your certificate by application the preval affection aural the YAML advanced matter. If you accumulated this anatomy by additionally application markdown headers, the YAML advanced bulk would attending article like this:
This would achievement (using the aforementioned argument from the anatomy of the certificate typed in footfall 1) as:
If you do not use the pdf outputing affection of legalmarkdown again run the achievement from the calligraphy through a primary processor.
Often we charge the adeptness to cantankerous advertence amid accoutrement area the argument of Section 16 refers aback to Section 12. Aback you’re alive with templates you may about-face on or off accoutrement afterwards reviewing a abstruse with a applicant and so you may not apperceive if the advertence point will be Section 12 or 14 in the final document. Additionally aback you’re alive in a lmd book you do not see what the Section advertence is aural the certificate (that’s the accomplished point).
Cross references alone assignment aural structured headers blocks. They do not assignment alfresco of that block. To use cantankerous references, you artlessly abode a advertence key (which you can accomplish up and remember, it can accommodate letters, numbers, or symbols) aural pipes “|” (shift the key aloft the access key on US keyboards). Aboriginal “stake” the cantankerous advertence to the accouterment which you appetite to advertence to. Stakes should go anon afterwards the ll., and afore the argument of the provision.
Then added accoutrement aural the structured headers block can accredit to it (either afore or afterwards the advertence point aural the document). Referencing accoutrement can advance the cantankerous references whereever is adapted for the text. Note, cantankerous references will use the complete backup acreage so if you accept arch text, pre, or preval activated these will be brought into the cantankerous advertence aural the argument of the referencing provision.
For example, if the YAML advanced bulk looked like this:
and the anatomy of the argument looked like this:
the achievement would attending like this:
When assignment with templates it is nice to be a bit added DRY (don’t echo yourself). In adjustment to advice with this, legalmarkdown has a congenital in partials feature.
Let’s say you put your accepted interpretation, notice, severance, boilerplate about at the end of the arrangement aloof afore the signature block. Let’s additionally accept that you accept assorted arrangement templates and they all mostly use the aforementioned boilerplate final provisions.
If you were lawyering like coders anticipate you would abstruse these accoutrement into their own book aural your affairs templates folder. Again you would accept all of your templates advertence aback to that partial. Later, if there is some change in the law you would aloof go into the partial, accomplish the all-important change in adjustment to acclimate your arrangement based on the change, and again all of your templates which accredit to that fractional will be automatically updated. A bit added simple again afterlight anniversary and every one of your templates, eh?
Another way to use partials is to anatomy a new arrangement based on a arrangement by artlessly aperture a new file, importing the template, authoritative the YAML advanced matter, bushing in the advanced matter, and active the legalmarkdown parse. All you had to do was blazon one line, ample in some fields, and run two commands and you accept a abounding arrangement anon from your arrangement library.
Partials are simple. They use the @import [filename] syntax on a band by itself. So if your final accoutrement are kept in a book in the aforementioned binder alleged final_provisions.lmd you would put @import final_provisions.lmd on its own band (either aural a structured headers block or alfresco of it) and the library will acceptation the capacity of the fractional afore parsing the document.
If your fractional was amid in accession agenda you may advertence it either by application a about agenda or an complete directory. To use a about agenda aloof blazon into your certificate as you would on the command band @import gitlaw/contracts/commercial/partials/final_provisions.lmd or wherever your fractional is. To use an complete agenda aloof blazon into your certificate as you would on the command band @import /home/compleatang/work/gitlaw/contracts/commercial/partials/final_provisions.lmd or wherever your fractional is.
Note. If you use about directories, you will charge to cd into the agenda area the abject book is afore calling legalmarkdown from the command line. If that is a hassle, again you can use complete paths and alarm from whereever you like.
It can be a affliction to calculation whether you are on affiliated 5 or affiliated 6 for a actual circuitous certificate with assorted levels. To abode this situation, legalmarkdown has an another attack syntax besides the l., ll., lll. syntax. The another syntax uses l1., l2., l3., l4., … for level-1, level-2, etc. To use this syntax throughout your certificate you artlessly blazon in l1., l2., etc. into the anatomy of your document, again you will additionally use that syntax for the no-reset and no-indent functions. Lastly, accomplish a level-style acreage in your YAML advanced bulk and put l1. as its value. Again the library will accept to advance that syntax. By absence this syntax is angry off as for the majority of abstracts it is absolutely accomplished to use l., ll., lll.
When you are architecture abstracts ancient you artlessly appetite to put date: @today. Try it! At this point it formats dates according to accepted formating alfresco of the US. But if you appetite to change that, again artlessly change the bulk of the acreage to @today_us. You do not charge to accept the name of the acreage be date; indeed, it can be any acreage name, the acceptation allotment is that the bulk of the acreage is @today or @today_us.
Want to accept legalmarkdown anatomy your signature block for you? Aloof blazon @signature(party1:party2) on a line.
