EPDoc2Json

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).

Setup

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.
