Basically, what I had created was a renderer abstractly that used
factories to create various render formats.
All I used was the AST produced by the parser, classes that managed
access into the code model and then a rendering layer that output html
using Velocity templates and java class builders.
For instance a Java class was made like ClassList extends ASDocTemplateBase.
There was a renderer with public api like returnLink()
returnEventTable() etc. The concrete implementation of these classes
were based on "what" they rendered. So you could have one render model
that could produce HTML, PDF or any other type of output you wanted.
All you would need to do is reimplement the renderer and converter API
for a new output.
I might actually just move along with this idea since it could totally
exist outside the framework that would make it point specific. If
Adobe decides to donate, fine if not I won't have wasted any time,
since I will have an application that uses the compiler as a module.
Anyway, I'm going to think about this more.

Quoting Gordon Smith <gosm...@adobe.com>:
Recently the Flash Builder team has decided to add ASDoc support to
the new compiler. I'll find out whether Adobe is willing to donate
this work when it is complete. (In general, Adobe is NOT committed
to donating future work on the compiler.) If so, it might not make
sense for us to do it. They will be producing the DITA XML format
that goes into SWCs. How that gets would turned into HTML might be
up to us.

Subject: Falcon :: ASDoc porting or re-explore
This question is probably for Gordon but, if I was to start coding
asdoc implementation, where would I start?
I understand what is going on but this is a huge step for me and I
don't want to waste any time working on something that was
ridiculously in the wrong direction.
So, when the wiki says work on asdoc impl, are we talking about
porting the old asdoc algorithms to work with the new AST model or
if there are better ways to implement asdoc explore them?
I'm new to this whole get a major feature started but, any "mentor"
advice would be greatly appreciated.
