๐ Eclipse cheat sheets (XML) to DITA with Ruby, XSL, Nokogiriยถ
From Java, XSLT 2.0 with Saxon to Ruby, XSLT 1.0 with the Nokogiri Ruby gemยถ
Using Ruby on this project allows us to harness the power of RubyGems particularly the Nokogiri gem along with XSLT 1.0 / XPath 1.0 to create the DITA XML files. Using Ruby eliminates the need to use Eclipse and Apache Ant and can be run standalone from the command line as long as you have Ruby installed.
The Ruby file: ruby-cheatsheets-to-dita.rb builds the output parent Ditamap
map.ditamap (output/map.ditamap), and the 4 sub DITA tasks in the
output/dita folder.
DITA Backgroundยถ
Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is an XML data model for authoring and using the DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) you can publish those ideas.
The DITA standard is maintained by the OASIS DITA Technical Committee.
The Projectยถ
The Ruby code in ruby-cheatsheets-to-dita.rb has some
XSL code embedded, as well as some
XML markup in a interpolated
string literal
syntax.
The
Eclipse cheat sheets
test data folder - cheatsheets-xml-test-data is best viewed inside Eclipse,
and is used as input when ruby-cheatsheets-to-dita.rb runs.
$ ruby ruby-cheatsheets-to-dita.rb -h
Usage: ruby-cheatsheets-to-dita.rb [options]
