Using this repo as a submodule: shake out, test and document #65

Open wendellpiez opened 2 years ago

To facilitate reuse of resources such as XSLTs stored in this repo, one model is to use it as a submodule in another repository. Candidate repositories for this include internal repositories at NIST that use stylesheets maintained here.

Users will find this easier to do if we (a) encourage it by explicit policy, and (b) provide pointers on how to do this. This can be done either in readmes or (maybe better) on the Pages site.

Goals:

TBD: does this repo have a modular dependency on the OSCAL repo? Is this a problem either here or in deployment?

NB: long term this site may have submodules of its own such as generic tools (usnistgov/xslt-functions).

Also: other models for code reuse could be tested and described besides git submodules.

Several approaches can be taken and they are not mutually exclusive.

After discussion we agreed to come back to this after #66 is addressed.
