Add support for Confluence 5.x

Catherine — Thu, 27 Mar 2014 10:46:43 -0000

It would be great if DITA2confluence could transform DITA XML to Confluence 5's XHTML-based storage format.

Add Keyword support for labels

It would be great if we could use the keyword element in metadata to add labels.

Add ability to remove obsolete topics

tavery — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 14:56:32 -0000

Hi
It would be great if we could supply a list of topics to be removed to a wiki space. My boss doesn't want us wiping the doc space, since he wants to include static pages in the space, such as release notes, so they can be searched together. So I'm writing a perl script that will let us diff our ditamaps to find out if any files have been removed and need to be removed from the space. It would be great if we could use the build to automatically remove these topics.

Add support for glossentry as topic type

tavery — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 20:58:05 -0000

Right now glossentry is not supported as its own topic type. It would be useful to support this as well as processing glossentry inside another topic type.

Add filtration for topic titles

kate — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 06:17:10 -0000

In the current version filtration works only for topic content, but there's may be a situation, when it's needed to use filters for topic titles (for example, the same topic with different titles for different audience).

Add way to have wiki syntax characters not escaped.

tavery — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 17:49:25 -0000

Right now if you enter some wiki syntax on a page, it is automatically escape. In general, this is desirable behavior. However, in some cases you might want to explicitly include a macro or some other functionality. For example, on my home page I wanted a way to put
{lozenge:icon=\!WhatsNew.png\!\|title=What's New\|width=100%}
And then use ditaval to exclude it from my other media types. It would be great if there was an outputclass value I could add to tell the dita2wiki tool not to escape any characters.

Add support for processing reltables

Susan Salituro — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:15:03 -0000

(This is closely related to feature request #2824914, I think.)

Our documentation team makes extensive use of reltables for creating related links lists. This information is currently being discarded by dita2wiki. It would be great if dita2wiki were able to process reltable data and output wiki text.

See related support discussion at https://sourceforge.net/projects/dita2wiki/forums/forum/864449/topic/3541672.

maven integration

Igor Jacy Lino Campista — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:19:07 -0000

Hi there,

I just thought of some 2 idea improvements:

There has a been an interesting development recently with the DITA OT maven plugin ( http://mojo.codehaus.org/dita-maven-plugin/\). It allows as part of a continuous integration build to process DITA content. Is there any possibility to have maven integration for the DITA2Confluence tool ?

Basically the DITA2Confluence tool could be re-created to a maven plug-in that could be used even easier (increasing its adoption). All of the jars that are included in the lib directory of the binary distribution are already available in the maven repository.

With a simple pom.xml it could be possible to compile the DITA to the wiki format. And if desired, it could also be also published.

Being a maven plug-in allows for a much wider audience and enables easier distribution, easier dependency management and continues integration.

Another idea is that the DITA2Confluence tools can build its documentation using the dita-maven-plugin. A simple pom.xml there (as shown in the site) could do this.

Cheers, Igor

Java 5 compliance

Igor Jacy Lino Campista — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:17:05 -0000

Hi there,

I have system env with only java 5 (6 is not allowed). The dita2wiki tool unfortunately has some very few/trivial java 6 code (like 7 lines in total), related with the String.isEmpty() function that could be easily replaced to an equivalent that complies to Java 5.

Would it be possible to make it java 5 compliant?

thanks,
Igor

Enable and disable 'generatetoc' property at command line

Lisa Dyer — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 17:01:25 -0000

You can generate a Table of Contents page based on the imported DITA map(s) when importing your DITA modules to the target wiki. This is enabled or disabled in the confluence.config.xml file by setting the 'generatetoc' property to true or false.

This property is set at the system level, and not the module level. In other words, if you have multiple DITA modules specified in confluence.content.xml, and you have generatetoc=true in confluence.config.xml, a TOC page will be created for each DITA map, with the last imported DITA map overriding previous ones.

You can now enable and disable the generatetoc feature from command line using the following command:

ant -Dgeneratetoc=false | true
