This utility will convert the EnergyPlus LaTeX files into a json.
It reads the Doc\*.tex
files and outputs them to DocJson\*.json
(which is gitignored).
The Doc
and DocJson
folder contain a single example of, respectively, input (LaTeX) and output (Json) to illustrate the principle.
You are responsible for populating the Doc
folder with the LaTeX files, and the DocJson
will be populated by running the compiled executable.
You can either symlink or copy the EnergyPlus/doc/input-output-reference/src/overview/group*.tex
files to EPDoc2Json\Doc
.
Build the project using Visual Studio (tested up to 2019), and run the executable to produce the JSON files (in DocJson
) that will be used by Ironbug.
