Re: [dita-lightweight-dita] Have Published My LwDITA Code Samples this Morning
Thanks Keith, you are so thoughtful! I'll give you any feedback on
messing with these. All this is very useful in finding where the
real bleeding edge is. Thanks.

Apologies for coming
into this discussion late.
Mark: I actually timed
the release of this so that you could use it or at mention it
in your presentation later this week.
ð Let's just say I had my work cut out for me
yesterday in finishing things off.
The HDITA code and the
key functionality of the MDITA material is largely untested.
To do some preliminary testing on the XDITA material I
switched the doctype declaration to full DITA and commented
out the parts I knew wouldn't work. I was able to get the
MDITA material to parse through Jarno's plugin, but couldn't
get the keys to work properly (or at least, not 100%). Went
over the spec and the code several times, and I don't believe
the code is at fault.
And as Carlos has said
for the HDITA part, without a fully working output solution, I
just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best until I
can properly test the code.
We are still in the days
of the Wild West when it comes to LwDITA!Â
Cheers!

And don't expect perfection... support is very
limited and preliminary.

Oh, so I should be using a 3.1.x OT.
I'll get on it right away! Thanks

Jarnoâs good plugin is now integrated

Yes, I'm doing that with an
XML <map>. No one seems to support an
MDITA or HDITA map at this point. I'll figure it
out.
Have you used this late-model MDITA/HDITA parser
by Jarno that's listed on the "LwDITA-aware
tools" page?
https://github.com/jelovirt/org.lwdita
I installed it and can get it to run, but I
realized I'm not sure what it is trying to do.
Is it meant to be called by the HTML5 plugin,
for example? Or does it do something by itself?

I think the preliminary
LwDITA support in the OT needs a DITA (or
XDITA) map to reference HDITA or MDITA
topics.Â

Keith, I have a
question. Did you publish any of these
to HTML, PDF, etc? I've been trying to
get Oxygen to publish my own lwdita
samples, MDITA and HDITA, and I have
not succeeded yet.
Plain markdown works in Oxygen if I
set up the <map> right, but
publishing fails with MDITA and HDITA.

Just
wanted to pass along
that earlier this
morning I published a
short piece on
DITAWriter.com (http://www.ditawriter.com/ditawriters-lightweight-dita-code-samples/)
where I talk about the
set of LwDITA code
samples posted to
GitHub.
Just
mentioning it here as
I am hoping that the
people on this list
can help get the word
out about it.
Cheers!
