This repo is a chrome extension to find and highlight Israeli laws on any website.
The current version is based on Regex search and works with Hebrew text only.
When the extension finds a law in your website it will generate a link to the law details in The Israeli National Legislative Database.
Many website users meet references to laws or sections of law and cannot simply refer to the requested law or the section within it.
Development of a tool or plugin for a browser that knows how to run an HTML file, identify and capture names of rules and sections that appear on the page, translate them into a URI, and use them to display the current version of the section as it appears in the full XML database.
An example of such a tool can be seen in Safria's referral network for Jewish Religious Literature. In this project, we want to convert to this task in the field of legislation.
