Spec Prod | Documentation 📘

This GitHub Action lets you:

• Build ReSpec and Bikeshed specs.
• Validate generated document's markup and check for broken hyperlinks.
• Publish generated spec to GitHub Pages and/or w3.org (using Echidna).

Basic Usage

During a pull request, the action:

• figures out if you're using ReSpec (index.html) or Bikeshed (index.bs)
• converts the ReSpec/Bikeshed source document to regular HTML
• runs broken hyperlink checker, and validate markup using W3C nu validator

Additionally, if a commit is pushed to the "main" branch, the action deploys the built specification to /TR/.
