Thomas,

This is excellent work. I want to link to the HTML spec from the website. Is it 
possible to label the 2.1 version so only that shows up on a link?

Subject: MarkDown conversion of specification live on SPDX GitHub


Hi all,

Wanted to let you all know that after several months in the making I pushed my 
MarkDown conversion of the SPDX specification 2.1 to  
https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/

Benefits


•         Working on GitHub and using MarkDown should make it easier for people 
to contribute either via Git, editing files online or by filling issue

•         Specification now be build as HTML, PDF, ePUB or Mobipocket

•         HTML version is now mobile friendly and PDF has a table of contents

•         Every change on master branch is automatically build and deployed as 
HTML to https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/ (using Travis CI)

Limitations

•         Simplified lay-out as MarkDown has some limitations compared to 
Google Docs. See for example table of contents – no section included due not 
being able to directly link to sections within different chapters

To Do

•         Write CONTRIBUTING.md  - explain to contributors how they can 
participate in shaping future version of the specification. Propose we discuss 
best workflow in the next call.

•         Minor issues - broken links, lay-out issues or spelling mistakes in 
original specification

•         Introduce workaround for MarkDown shortcomings in HTML version

•         Automate publishing of PDF, ePUB, Mobipocket to GitHub Releases for a 
new version of specification

•         Upgrade to GitBook 4.x when it becomes available



All fixes will be made on the development/2.1.1 branch. If you find something 
feel free to send me an email or raise an issue.
