WARNING: This gem is still under development. Moreover, unlike other Metanorma gems, 
there is no formal MPFA specification, and this work is still currently exploratory.

== Functionality

This gem processes https://www.metanorma.com/[Metanorma documents] following
a template for generating documents for the http://www.mpfa.org.hk[Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority of Hong Kong].

The gem currently inherits from the https://github.com/metanorma/metanorma-standoc
gem, and aligns closely to it. Refer to https://metanorma.com[] for guidance.

== Usage

The preferred way to invoke this gem is via the `metanorma` script:

[source,console]
----
$ metanorma --type mpfa a.adoc                   # output HTML and DOC
$ metanorma --type mpfa --extensions html a.adoc # output just HTML
$ metanorma --type mpfa --extensions doc a.adoc  # output just DOC
$ metanorma --type mpfa --extensions xml a.adoc  # output MPFA XML
----

The gem translates the document into Metanorma XML format, and then
validates its output against the MPFA Metanorma XML document model; errors are
reported to console against the XML, and are intended for users to
check that they have provided all necessary components of the
document.

The gem then converts the XML into output formats such as HTML and DOC.

Sample documents are available at https://github.com/metanorma/mn-samples-mpfa

=== Installation

If you are using a Mac, the https://github.com/metanorma/metanorma-macos-setup
repository has instructions on setting up your machine to run Metanorma
scripts such as this one. You need only run the following in a Terminal console:

[source,console]
----
$ bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metanorma/metanorma-macos-setup/master/metanorma-setup)
$ gem install metanorma-mpfa
$ gem install metanorma-cli
----

The metanorma-cli gem is the command-line interface for the Metanorma tool suite
(incorporating the `metanorma` executable seen above).

== Documentation

See https://www.metanorma.com/author/mpfa/[The MPFA flavor of Metanorma]


== Data Models

The MPFA Document format is an instance of the
https://github.com/metanorma/metanorma-model-standoc[StandardDocument model]. Details of
this general model can be found on its page. 

== Examples

* Example documents are avalable at the https://github.com/metanorma/mn-samples-mpfa[MPFA Samples] repository.

////
* Document templates are available at the https://github.com/metanorma/mn-templates-mpf[mn-templates-mpf] repository.

== Notes

Metanorma-MPFA was formerly published as `metanorma-mpfd`.
