Metanorma for BIPM markup
Clauses
Unnumbered clauses and annexes
Clauses and annexes may be marked as [%unnumbered], in which case they do not
receive section numbering, and are cross-referenced by their title.
Quoted titles
In the SI Brochure, subtitles in Annex 1 are presented with black square bullets.
This indicates that the subject of the cited CIPM recommendations and CGPM
resolutions are treated as variant titles, of type quoted, since they are
treated as part of the cited recommendations and
resolutions [added in https://github.com/metanorma/metanorma-bipm/releases/tag/v1.1.10].
Quoted titles are encoded as follows:
=== {blank}
[.variant-title,type=quoted]
*Definition of the metre* (CR, 85)Lists
Ordered lists
Numbering behavior for ordered lists differs from the default in Metanorma.
Ordered lists do not have a fixed sequence of numbering styles:
the type set for each ordered list (including nested lists) is respected.
In BIPM, the default numbering style for ordered lists is always arabic.
The numbering of ordered lists per level are in the order of:
-
level 1: “1.”
-
level 2: “a)” (
alphabetic) -
level 3 and above: Metanorma defaults.
The start attribute on lists is also supported in BIPM,
unlike in standard Metanorma.
Numeral formats
Numerals are automatically formatted as required by BIPM:
-
French: the decimal symbol is the comma, numbers spaced in groups of three
-
English: the decimal symbol is the period, numbers spaced in groups of three
stem:[1234567890] is rendered as 1 234 567 890 in both languages.
stem:[32123.456789] is rendered as 32 123,456 789 in French, and
32 123.456 789 in English.
Specifics are detailed below.
The symbol used to separate the integral part of a number from its decimal part is called the decimal marker. Following a decision by the 22nd CGPM (2003, Resolution 10), the decimal marker "shall be either the point on the line or the comma on the line." The decimal marker chosen should be that which is customary in the language and context concerned.
Moreover, digits are to be divided in groups of three, without a hanging digit. The digits are to be separated by a non-breaking space.
Following the 9th CGPM (1948, Resolution 7) and the 22nd CGPM (2003, Resolution 10), for numbers with many digits the digits may be divided into groups of three by a space, in order to facilitate reading. Neither dots nor commas are inserted in the spaces between groups of three. However, when there are only four digits before or after the decimal marker, it is customary not to use a space to isolate a single digit. The practice of grouping digits in this way is a matter of choice; it is not always followed in certain specialized applications such as engineering drawings, financial statements and scripts to be read by a computer.

as 1999.1999 (not 1 999.999 9).
stem encoding in a BIPM document with hanging digits (2)stem:[1234567.7654321] in a BIPM document in English is displayed
as 1234 567.765 4321 (not 1 234 567.765 432 1).
Cross-references
Rendered cross-references are locale-aware.
Cross-references formatted as <<{{anchor}},pagenumber%>>
are rendered in PDF as just the page number; they are used for
tables of content.
In HTML output, such cross-references are treated as normal cross-references.
In PDF, cross-references are otherwise accompanied by a page number,
preceded by see (English) or voir (French).
If the cross-reference is formatted as <<{{anchor}},nosee%>>,
then see/voir is not inserted, just the page number.
If the cross-reference
is formatted as <<{{anchor}},nopage%>>, then neither see/voir
nor the page number is inserted [added in https://github.com/metanorma/metanorma-bipm/releases/tag/v1.0.1].
Again, both such cross-references are treated as normal cross-references in HTML.
Cross-references to clauses are rendered in lowercase: “see section 4.1”. Metanorma will attempt to impose correct capitalisation for instances at the start of blocks and sentences, but it may get it wrong.
To override such capitalisation, you can use the the flags
capital% or lowercase% as the content of the cross-reference,
to force that casing on the cross-reference.
Localization occurs for both English and French versions.
