Documentation project - asciidoctor + CSS
by Vlad Mihalcea
Hi,
I started migrating the 5.0 docbook documentation to asciidoctor, and,
because there wasn't any converter for such a task, I wrote a small shell
script which uses pandoc.
I managed to generate the asciidoc files from the current docbook, by using
the html format the docbook generates. The resulting asciidoc files need
some minor changes, but all in all it's still better than doing it manually.
I wrote a new gradle task to take the asciidocs from the mapping guides and
generate the html documentation, while applying the Hibernate CSS.
I saw there are some common XSLTs that were applied in order to add the
Hibernate logo and the Copyright info to every HTML page.
If you want to take a look on it, this is my branch with the latest changes
I've made:
https://github.com/vladmihalcea/hibernate-orm/tree/feature/asciidocs
>From a discussion I found on the asciidoctor GitHub page (
https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-gradle-plugin/issues/52 ), I
realized that we could create a tool-chain like this:
- we write all docs in asciidoctor and use the asciidoc-gradle-plugin to
convert those to docbook
- from docbooks we can use the current jdocbook plugin to generate the
single HTML, multi-html and PDFs and use the current XSLTs.
With this workflow, the styling of the docs is already resolved, since the
jdocbook configs can take care of it already. This could be a first phase
until we figure out how we can generate everything we want and customize it
all without having the intermediate docbook phase.
Or, we can just forget about docbook and do our best to generate everything
using the asciidoctor tool-chain, even if it might not be a straightforward
task.
Let me know what you think?
