Abstract: An artificial intelligence-based legislative code validation and publication system is described herein. For example, the legislative code validation and publication system can be implemented within a user device, a network-accessible server, or a combination thereof. The legislative code validation and publication system can include a plug-in, add-on, extension, or other component that causes an enhanced text editor to support additional functionality. In particular, the plug-in causes the enhanced text editor to generate structure-based markup language code as text is entered, provide auto-complete features, and/or validate the generated structure-based markup language code according to a jurisdiction's style guide. The legislative code validation and publication system can then modify the markup language code to include codification annotations, thereby forming annotated markup language code.
