[WikiText] Wiki markup DocumentBuilder [message #602181]

Does WikiText include DocumentBuilders for Wiki markups. I saw that it has for HTML, DocBook etc. Is there a way to serialize into a Wiki format? For example, read Confluence and write Textile?

Thanks and regards,
Nirmal

Nirmal,

This is a great idea. A DocumentBuilder that emits Textile markup would
enable conversion from any of the other formats supported by Mylyn
WikiText. Contributions in this area are most welcome.

Hello David,

Thanks for your reply.

I wrote a DocumentBuilder for Textile and Redmine and it seems to works quite fine. This is part of a customer project and I am in talk with them on making this open source. They have to clear some legal/IP issues before taking this step.

This is part of the larger framework called Model based Wiki. The customer has a lot of EMF based models and they wanted to easily generate some Wiki documentation out of it. I developed a EMFDocumentBuilder which creates a EMF based model for any Wiki format. I also wrote a EMFLanguage which enables this model to be written out using any DocumentBuilders that you already have. A roundtrip seems to deliver files without any difference.

My customer has agreed to let me write about it in my blog Smile

I will write some details about it soon. Looking forward to get some feedback from you on this.

Thanks and regards,
Nirmal

This sounds really great. Hopefully they can see the value in packaging
this up as a small contribution: exposure to more users and developers
will certainly harden the solution and reduce the maintenance overhead.

This sounds very cool.

Please post a link to your blog here when you've had a chance to write
it up. It sounds fascinating.
