what are the final parts that go into the rendering step? #5

E.g., do we have plain text files that are used together to create the compliant xml?

Or, is it kept in R?

I would suggest the former, because those two files could be used to render in any other language, and could be ( 😟 ) hand edited if necessary

Thoughts @berdaniera?

Yep, I like the first approach. And the processing of those can be called from a function, maybe if all of the info is stored in the same folder, just call the directory and render it.

Sounds like we converged on a hybrid:

mustache template for the xml, and then the global.yaml describes all of the manual fields and points to attribute tables for attributes. Optional ... to add more arguments to the rendering step. Does that match you memory @jiwalker-usgs and @berdaniera ?

Sounds like the makings of a marquee package to me :+1:
