Export to an editable document format
dwalt opened this issue · comments
USGS users need a writer to export metadata content as a review document, importable and appropriately formatted for use in Word.
The format should follow the formatting that the Metadata Wizard CSDGM editor docx writer uses. This is a revision to the Simple HTML requirements (issue #246). An HTML format is still acceptable, as long as it imports into Word meeting the format requirements.
The Metadata Wizard writer was written in Python. The format can either be emulated or the code itself be refactored for mdJSON: https://code.usgs.gov/usgs/fort-pymdwizard/-/blob/master/pymdwizard/core/review_utils.py
Example docx file from MW:
Bemidji_lysimeter_metadata_REVIEW.docx
I think the margins in the report are larger than necessary, limiting real estate for indented content and suggest making smaller.
