# Lightweight DITA for DITA-OT [![Test](https://github.com/jelovirt/org.lwdita/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/jelovirt/org.lwdita/actions/workflows/test.yml)

The DITA-OT LwDITA plug-in supersedes the previously released [Markdown
plug-in for DITA-OT](https://github.com/jelovirt/dita-ot-markdown) and
adds additional features to support Lightweight DITA.

> **Note**
> The LwDITA plug-in is included in DITA Open Toolkit 3.0 and
newer.

It contains:

- a custom parser for Markdown and HTML to allow using MDITA and HDITA
as a source document format,
- and a transtype to generate Markdown from DITA source.

The Markdown DITA files need to use a subset of Markdown constructs for
compatibility with DITA content models.

## Usage

### Using LwDITA files as input

Markdown DITA or HTML DITA topics can only be used by linking to them in
map files.

```xml


```

The `format` attribute value must be set to `mdita` or `hdita` in order
to recognize files as Markdown DITA or HTML DITA, respectively; the file
extension is not used to recognize format.

See the [syntax
reference](https://github.com/jelovirt/org.lwdita/wiki/Markdown-Syntax-reference)
for XML and Markdown DITA correspondence.

### Generating Markdown output

The DITA-OT LwDITA plug-in extends the DITA Open Toolkit with additional
output formats *(transformation types)* that can be used to publish DITA
content as Markdown.

- To publish Markdown DITA files, use the `markdown` transtype.

- To generate [GitHub Flavored
Markdown](https://help.github.com/categories/writing-on-github/)
files, use the `markdown_github` transtype.

- To publish GitHub Flavored Markdown and generate a `SUMMARY.md` table
of contents file for publication via
[GitBook](https://www.gitbook.com), use the `markdown_gitbook`
transtype.

## Requirements

| LwDITA plug-in | DITA-OT | Java |
|----------------|----------|------|
| ≤ 2.5 | 2.4 | 1.8 |
| ≥ 3.0 | 3.4 | 1.8 |
| ≥ 4.0 | 3.4 | 11 |
| ≥ 5.2 | 3.4 [^1] | 11 |

[^1]: Support MDITA map requires DITA-OT version 4.1.

## Install

1. Run the plug-in installation command:

On DITA-OT version 3.5 and newer:

``` shell
$ dita install org.lwdita
```

On DITA-OT version 3.2–3.4:

``` shell
$ dita --install org.lwdita
```

On DITA-OT version 3.1 and older:

``` shell
$ dita --install https://github.com/jelovirt/org.lwdita/releases/download/2.3.2/org.lwdita-2.3.2.zip
```

The `dita` command line tool requires no additional configuration;
running DITA-OT using Ant requires adding plug-in contributed JAR files
to the `CLASSPATH` with e.g. `-lib plugins/org.lwdita`.

## Build

To build the DITA-OT Markdown plug-in from source:

1. Run the Gradle distribution task to generate the plug-in
distribution package:

``` shell
./gradlew dist
```

The distribution ZIP file is generated under `build/distributions`.

## Release

To release and build distribution:

1. Tag release in `master` branch using semantic version as tag name,
e.g. `1.2.3`.

[GitHub Actions](.github/workflows/dist.yml) will create
* a distribution ZIP and upload it to GitHub Release for the tag,
* a JAR release that is published to [github.com/jelovirt/org.lwdita/packages](https://github.com/jelovirt/org.lwdita/packages/),
* a pull request to [github.com/dita-ot/registry](https://github.com/dita-ot/registry)
to update the release to DITA-OT plug-in registry.
