Example of Ditamap including a Markdown map?

[Joaquim Baptista]

Greetings,

Using DITA OT 4.1.2, I tried converting a ditamap to Markdown. However, I have so far failed to refer (using mapref) the new Markdown ditamap from a regular XML ditamap.

Anyone has an example mapref they can share?

The obvious examples below fail, and I am running our of ideas:

    <mapref href="map.mditamap">

    <mapref href="map.mditamap" format="markdown">

    <mapref href="map.mditamap" format="mdita">

    <mapref href="map.mditamap" format="mditamap">

map.mditamap starts with the schema:

    ---
    $schema: urn:oasis:names:tc:dita:xsd:map.xsd
    ---
    # My title
      * [](mytopic.md)

Hi,

You are probably referring to this feature, right:

https://github.com/jelovirt/org.lwdita/wiki/Markdown-DITA-syntax#markdown-dita-map-syntax

From what I tested I can publish a Markdown DITA Map to HTML for example but I also did not succeed in referencing to it from a DITA Map as:

   <topicref href="test.md" format="mditamap"/>

and then successfully publishing.

I added this issue:

https://github.com/jelovirt/org.lwdita/issues/201

maybe you can register to watch it and we can discuss there further.

Regards,

Radu

Thanks for opening the issue.

I took the oportunity to argue for a more seamless Markdown authoring experience in the same issue.

FYI - I have added a comment related to MDITA maps to the bug that Radu mentions:

https://github.com/jelovirt/org.lwdita/issues/201

TL;DR: We might be changing the MDITA map from Markdown to YAML. And XML maps work fine.
