Draft LwDITA topics with metadata

[Carlos Evia <cevia@vt.edu>]

Dear LwDITA subcommittee people,

At our meeting of the syntax taskforce, I promised some updated examples incorporating YAML headers for identifying metadata and processing information. I am planning to schedule a follow-up call of the taskforce soon, but it won’t hurt if we all take a look at these (adapted from an old XML example by Sarah O’Keefe). We need to address the possibility that authors will bring HTML5 and Markdown files with zero special DITA/LwDITA tags and that is ok, but if they want to follow our recommendation and standard, then they can make them better.

I am working on detailed mappings of XDITA, HDITA, and MDITA based on our previous examples, but the draft topics are here:

Thank you,

Carlos
