Steve Lawrence commented on DAFFODIL-2004:
------------------------------------------
I don't know of a client side markdown processor, and if it did exist it would
need to integrate with jekyll somehow to generate the final website from
markdown, which probably doesn't exist.
I imagine the steps would be to:
# Create an XSLT to convert TDML files to markdown text (should be very
similar to what we already have)
# Write a jekyll plugin that can do the XSLT transform to create markdown
files. Jekyll plugins are pretty small and straightforward to create (but they
written in Ruby :()
# Have jekyll can convert those markdowns to to html like it normally does, no
extra work here.
So it's definitely a bit more work, but the plugin shouldn't be too bad and but
would integrate nicely with the website. Making things pretty from XSLT is a
bit of a pain.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2004
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Michael Beckerle
> Priority: Minor
>
> We host the DFDL spec (HTML version) on the daffodil site.
> Our tiny (but hopefully growing) set of TDML-based tutorial pages, and
> associated stylesheet to make them presentable, should be hosted on the
> daffodil-site also.
> I think this is a matter of just copying some files from the
> daffodil/tutorials module over into the site. These TDML files are run as
> part of regression however, so they really do need to live someplace where
> they can be run as tests as well as being presented on the site.
