Template:Cite Greek law/doc

Usage
This template allows for the easy citing and linking to of laws of the Hellenic Republic. It cover laws (νόμοι, statutes) that are recorded on the National Printing House (Ελληνικό Τυπογραφείο) website search page as well as links to the Government Gazette (Greece) (Εφημερίς της Κυβερνήσεως) www.et.gr It should not be substituted. For the constitution, presidential decrees, ministerial decisions, and multi-ministerial decisions, please use their respective separate templates. For a guide to Greek legal citation practices, consult NYULS Guide here

To do
Ideally we can figure out how to automatically link to each law. It appears that each law is indexed individually on et.gr, even though multiple laws appear on each issue of the Government Gazette. The URI index looks something like: http://www.et.gr/api/DownloadFeksApi{Asep/Kad/Nomoi}Small/?fek_pdf={year}{3-bit-code}{issue-in-4-digits} for the 1-page Gazette overview, and http://www.et.gr/api/DownloadFeksApi{Asep/Kad/Nomoi}/?fek_pdf={year}{3-bit-code}{issue-in-4-digits} for the full law. where issue would refer to the issue of the Gazette the law or document appears in, which is non-exclusive and would not be apparent from any original documentation. In between year and issue is what appears to be 3 bits which I think encode as Asep=100, Kad=110, and Nomoi=010.

Also the URL depends on which search you use, though the pdf seems identical for both. For the first types, the results look like http://www.et.gr/api/Download_Small/?fek_pdf=20140100278 for the 1-page Gazette overview, and http://www.et.gr/api/DownloadFeksApi/?fek_pdf=20140100278 for the full law.

For this example we used Π.Δ. (Presidential Decree) 175, ΔΙΟΡΙΣΜΟΣ ΥΠΟΥΡΓΟΥ ΕΣΩΤΕΡΙΚΩΝ (Appointment of Minister of Interior), Dated 31/12/2014, Published 31/12/2014 in issue 278 of 2014 (and conveniently in the same issue is Π.Δ. 174: Acceptance of Resignation of the Minister of Interior), page 8359.
