ReSpec adds a respec object to document when it loads. Use it to wait for processing to complete, inspect errors and warnings, or export the processed HTML.

A Promise that resolves when ReSpec finishes all processing (including postProcess functions).

<script>
  document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", async () => {
    await document.respec.ready;
    console.log("Errors:", document.respec.errors);
    console.log("Warnings:", document.respec.warnings);
  });
</script>

An array of errors found during processing.

An array of warnings found during processing.

Each item in errors and warnings has:

The current ReSpec version string (semver, e.g. "35.8.0").

Returns a Promise that resolves with the fully-processed document markup as a string — the same output as "Save as HTML".

<script>
  document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", async () => {
    await document.respec.ready;
    const html = await document.respec.toHTML();
    // Send to a server, save to disk, etc.
    await fetch("/save", { method: "POST", body: html });
  });
</script>

• Always await document.respec.ready before reading errors/warnings — the arrays are populated incrementally during processing
• The deprecated document.respecIsReady was a bare Promise on document; the modern form is document.respec.ready
