I've been tasked with exploring including an inline viewer for a mapping spreadsheet in the CarinBB IG.
The easy way to do this appears to be the inclusion of the open source https://viewerjs.org/instructions/ package (or similar) in the published IG.
This raises two questions:
1) Are there any issues with this? "ViewerJS is a Free Software project. All code is available under the AGPL."
2) Assuming this is allowable, how can I get the IG publisher to "do the right thing", and essentially pass the directory containing the viewerJS stuff through to the published IG?

what is a mapping spreadsheet?
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jul 13 2020 at 15:32):
anyway, sounds like this would need a change to your template (which, if it includes code, may not work with the CI build without approval). And the license is AGPL - which seems more restrictive than those we use (MIT / ASL)

Mapping spreadsheet = https://saulakravitz.github.io/carin-bb-publish/CARINMappingtoFHIR20191002copy.xlsx
In this case shows how CPCDS data elements map to FHIR profiles/fields/slices.
What is the path/process to changing the template? If non-trivial, I'll probably spend my time elsewhere. THX
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jul 13 2020 at 16:11):
you'd need to use a local template. Then you'd need to change that template's scripts. And then you'd still be stuck, I guess, because local templates do not allow script changes

I admit that I don't understand why this is a good idea. It certainly sounds like it wouldn't be acceptable for ballot
Grahame Grieve (Jul 13 2020 at 19:01):
can you please explain what the user experience you are looking for is?
Saul Kravitz (Jul 13 2020 at 21:22):
User experience is the ability to browse the spreadsheet cited above in a web browser, rather than downloading it and opening it in excel.

how about an iframe for a gist in csv

I don't think that 'browse a spreadsheet' is a good user experience generally, though it is better than 'download it'. I don't follow the GIST idea either
