When extensions are explicitly given, DO NOT generate all formats

[ronaldtse]

e.g. document contains:

:mn-output-extensions: xml,html,doc,pdf,rxl

Then only these extensions should be generated. Right now, it's generating even STS output.

@andrew2net a bit urgent on this one. Can you help? Thanks!

[andrew2net]

@ronaldtse is there any sample files?
I've tried to convert spec/fixtures/sample-file.adoc file. It contains :mn-output-extensions: xml,html. And I got 3 files:

spec/fixtures/sample-file.html
spec/fixtures/sample-file.presentation.xml
spec/fixtures/sample-file.xml

[ronaldtse]

Can you try a file in mn-samples-iso? Thanks.

[andrew2net]

@ronaldtse I tried sources/amendment/rice-amd.awi.adoc from mn-sample-iso with :mn-output-extensions: xml,html,doc,html_alt,pdf,rxl and got next files:

sources/amendment/rice-amd.awi.alt.html
sources/amendment/rice-amd.awi.doc
sources/amendment/rice-amd.awi.html
sources/amendment/rice-amd.awi.presentation.xml
sources/amendment/rice-amd.awi.rxl
sources/amendment/rice-amd.awi.xml

@andrew2net that's very strange. In https://github.com/metanorma/iso-10303-2 I see:

:mn-output-extensions: xml,html,doc,pdf,rxl

iso-10303-2.alt.html
iso-10303-2.doc
iso-10303-2.html
iso-10303-2.pdf
iso-10303-2.presentation.xml
iso-10303-2.rxl
iso-10303-2.sts.xml
iso-10303-2.xml

(using latest gems)

@ronaldtse I think the issue is in the Makefile. It builds iso-10303-2.xml from iso-10303-2.adoc first. Then it builds all other formats from the XML file. I suppose because the XML file doesn't contain any output extensions the metanorma builds files in all possible formats.
I don't know why the Makefile is done that way. Do you agree we should build documents from the ADOC file, not from XML?

UPD on another side mn-samples-iec has similar Makefile and doesn't produce all formats. Will investigate why.

[ronaldtse]

@andrew2net you are right!! I forgot that.

I don't know why the Makefile is done that way. Do you agree we should build documents from the ADOC file, not from XML?

It was done that way to separate the Adoc->XML generation (the canonical format is XML, as "encoding") and XML->others ("rendering).

In this case I guess the correct solution is not to generate "ALL" output... Let's hold this for now. Thanks.
