Thanks Eliot!


I'll check it out and pass along the info to that contact at IBM to see if that fits their needs.


Cheers!

The DITA for Publishers HTML5 transform includes options to generate JSON instead of HTML, either just for navigation or for all the content. Not sure how complete or easy-to-use it is but the code is there.

 

Cheers,

Subject: [dita-adoption] Possible DITA 2.0 Addition Proposals Based on Listening Session Feedback

 

Hello everyone:

 

I gone through the Listening Session notes and have found the following rough ideas/proposals for things that might go into DITA 2.0:

  • Scott Hudson (Jeppesen): The apiname element in DITA is overloaded.
  • Colin Ferguson (VCE): It would be great if there was some way separating the structured (hierarchical) and semantic content; many people (read: SMEs) don’t care about the order in which they write things, but they understand the idea of semantically-describing content. Believes that adoption would be better served by making the two more distinct, and that structure could be looser.
  • Colin Ferguson (VCE): would like to see a meta-task type standard; process that includes tasks within a larger procedure; something that could construct “super tasks” and would like to see more control over that;
  • Zoe Lawson (IBM): Would like to see JSON output, likes the “guided tour” inline help; swagger is all JSON based; if there was a way to get that “it would be crazy useful”.
  • Jacqueline Lehr (Schneider-Electric): round-trip DITA-Confluence-wiki support
  • Dynamic maps with if/then rule that could poll the user/product and deliver different, customized content based on results

I don't think all of these things are necessarily DITA 2.0 (or even DITA standard) related, but I think it worthwhile to discuss these ideas at a future meeting.

 

Cheers!
