• High availablility of HTML5 Editors

• Options for Markdown and reStructuredText

on the other hand, for XML:

• Lack of editors

• Existing commercial and/or enterprise editors are very comprehensive and complex

• The complexity of offering a full XML editor

• A decrease in XML processing support within browsers

• A perceived reduction in what constitutes an acceptable level of re-use and presentation for technical documentation.

• For the purposes of authoring and publishing the documentation for FusionDB Server, we need a markup format that's good (as XML), but not complex (as XML).

DITA is an XML data model for authoring and publishing.
It is an open standard that is defined and maintained by the OASIS DITA Technical Committee.

But it's too complex for our needs.

• XDITA (XML)

• HDITA (HTML)

• MDITA (Markdown)

JDITA is a JSON representation of an LwDITA document.

Its main purpose is to make it easy to process and generate LwDITA content using modern web technologies.

Thus providing LwDITA capabilities to a wider range of users.

With the help of JDITA, we can make an in-browser editor for LwDITA.

​

Is a WYSIWYG editor aiming to make use of JDITA and Prosemirror to create and edit LwDITA documents on the web. This project is divided into 2 packages:

• jdita:

  • Parses XDITA documents and produces JDITA Documents, and vise-versa.

• prosemirror-jdita

  • Creates Prosemirror documents from JDITA and sets up an Editor to edit the contents on a web page.

How does it work?

• Generates a schema containing the definition for all LwDITA elements, the relation between them, and how to properly display them on a web page.

• Uses a JDITA document to create a Prosemirror document

• Defines different commands for the editor, mainly for inserting, editing, and transforming content.

• Generates a JDITA document from the content of the editor (Prosemirror document).

Petal allows the user to:

• See a readable HTML representation of the document

• Edit the text

• Insert new elements

• Transform content

• Edit attributes
