New DITA-OT plugin for creating reveal.js based web presentations

[Stefan Eike]

Hi,

I'm working on my first DITA-OT plugin. This plugin transforms DITA maps into reveal.js based web presentations. Please have a look at my blog post: http://xephon2.github.io/2014/09/20/dita-ot-revealjs

Best regards

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for telling us about this.
I tested the plugin and the output is very nice looking.
I had some problems with how topic references which are not on the first level in the DITA Map are rendered in the web browser though.

Regards,
Radu

Hi Radu,

the processing of nested topics (two levels only) should work now.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Map//EN" "map.dtd">
<map xml:lang="de" chunk="to-content">
 <title>DITA Topic Map</title>
 <topicref href="topics/firstLvlTopic.dita">
  <topicref href="topics/SecondLvlTopic1.dita"/>
  <topicref href="topics/SecondLvlTopic2.dita">
   <!-- This fails: -->
   <topicref href="topics/ThirdLvlTopic.dita"/>  
  </topicref>
 </topicref>
</map>

Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Sorry, still does not work in some simple cases, for example the XSLT code only matches DITA topics and not tasks, concepts and so on. So the template matching should be DITA specialization aware.

Looking at the code in the reveal.xsl, it seems that what should be done is to obtain from an XML containing a nested set of topics a flat list of HTML section elements.

In my opinion the template which matches "//topic" should be rewritten to do something like:

            <xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' topic/topic ')]">
                <section>
                    <xsl:apply-templates select="node()[not(contains(@class,' topic/topic '))]"/>
                </section>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="*[contains(@class, ' topic/topic ')]"/>
            </xsl:template>

Hi Radu,

I added tasks and concepts to the selectors yesterday. I didn't know the @class selector. Thank you for the recommendation. Now I refactored the templates again and they look much better know. Now the processing of level 3+ topics works with my test data as well. I pull them all to the second level to appear as vertical slides.

Further on, I added several Ant properties to customize the output during the build process. Please have a look at the README.md for explanations. I really appreciate your support. Thank you! :) Maybe you should raise an issue or send me a pull request on Github next time, because the other subscribers of the mailing list are probably not interested in the plugin.

Best regards
Stefan
