Editorsnotes-markup-renderer NPM

Editors' Notes markup renderer

A server to render Editors' Notes markup, with support for formatting citations from Zotero or CSL data.

Running

Installing this package will create a binary called editorsnotes_renderer. Run it with editorsnotes_renderer [--host=127.0.0.1] [--port=7194]

API

The server exposes a single root endpoint. It must be POSTed to with a JSON object containing a data key with text that will be parsed as Editors' Notes markup.

One GET parameter is understood by the server, the only_transcluded_items flag. If set, the response will be a JSON object containing document, topic, and note keys containing arrays of the objects which would be transcluded in a rendered note.

If this flag is not set, the response will be an HTML string representing the markup data rendered, with respect to the following POST parameters:

url_root (string): The root of all links to items (i.e. /projects/emma/)
note (arr): An array of Notes as represented in the Editors' Notes API. Notes' title attributes will be used to generate inline labels.
topic (arr): An array of Topics as represented in the Editors' Notes API. Topics' preferred_name attributes will be used to generate inline labels.
document (arr): An array of Documents as represented in the Editors' Notes API. Documents' zotero_data, csl_data, and description will be used to generate inline labels or citations, in that order of preference.
citation_style (string): CSL style for formatted document citations. Default is chicago-author-date.

The note, topic, and document items will determine the text that will be transcluded into the rendered markup HTML. If a transcluded item has no matching representation, the rendered HTML will include the message ([item type] not found).
