Accelerating your Implementation Guide Production
summary
A practical recipe for mass-producing IGs: clone an HL7 Belgium GitHub template, edit ig.xml and package ids, add a local template with package.json to override colors/logos, generate logical models and profiles with SUSHI or Forge, render diagrams with PlantUML, and wire a continuous GitHub Actions → GitHub Pages build that publishes each push. Belgium runs this layered, iterative process (80+ profiles in weeks), exposes feedback via GitHub issues/kanban, and the demo builds and deploys automatically.
