Currently, the function that converts strings to valid CSS names only replaces the first instance of an invalid character. Add the g (global) option so that all invalid characters are replaced.

Add code for handling ArcGIS metadata format XML elements. Only Binary/Enclosure elements are currently handled.

When the JavaScript code creates the sections and headers (<h1> elements), in IE 11, the headers are omitted. If you look at the markup via the F12 debugging tools, the <h1> elements are not there at all. (I.e., this is not a case of the elements not being displayed because of CSS.)

The code currently only has special handiling for CSDGM metadata XML. Newer standards have since been adopted by the FGDC since CSDGM was created. While basic HTML formatting should still work, the element names in headings will not be replaced with their long name equivalents.

Parse the reference/csdgm.txt file into JSON to get complete list of elements. This can be used to replace the csdgmAliases.js file.

1. Read text line by line.

2. Use the regular expression see if the current line is the first line of an element definition.

   // Matches first line of element definition
   var firstLine = /^\s*([\d\.]+)\s+(.+)\s-+\s(.+)/;
   /* [
       entire match, 
       element index number, 
       element long name, 
       description (until line break)
      ]
   */

3. Lines after the first line of an element definition are a continuation of the description from the first line.

4. The description stops when a line starting with (not including spaces) Type: is encountered.

5. The Short Name: line indicates what the XML nodes name will be.

6. Keep reading lines until another "first line" is encountered, which indicates a new element definition.
