Testing

After making your changes to test you can run:

• make test_doc - tests the macros on tests/test_data/basic.adoc using the modified code
• make test_doc_gem - builds and installs the gem locally, runs the same test with the gem]

Creating a release

1. Update the version number in version.rb
2. Run bundle update
3. commit the changed files.
4. Push to a branch, create a PR against main.

Cleanup

make clean will remove the locally installed gem and the generated files from tests.

make clean is called by make test_doc and make test_doc_gem running.

Development Notes:

On some OSes/distros the bundle binary may be called bundle3.0 - it may be helpful to symlink it with sudo ln -s /bin/bundle3.0 /bin/bundle.
