I did, thank you!

Our official code is hosted by American Legal Publishing [1], but it's so bad that I decided to download a copy and try hosting my own.

After I was elected to our village council I started to notice the similarities between legal code and computer code – large amounts of plain text, formatting, and change management.

I ended up using Markdown with some special CSS styling, and the site is generated by Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages. BBEdit and regex was a huge help to whip it into shape.

You are welcome to use anything I've done [2]. I would love to see more people doing the same.

Lots have heard "code is law".

Fewer have noticed "law is code".

The GitHub repo is 404ing. Maybe it's set to be private?

Haha, yep. Ours is American Legal Publishing, too.
