To get started writing your own simple legal documents with Common Form markup, install GNU Make, Node.js, and npm, then do:
git clone https://github.com/commonform/commonform-starter yourproject
cd yourproject
makeGNU Make will install Common Form command line tools using npm, and then create a Microsoft Word copy of the bylaws included as document.cform.
Change document.cform as you like. You can check your work for structural and possible stylistic errors at any time by doing:
make lint
make critique
