Hi

I currently use Mylyn Textile (and quite like it). AsciiDoc looks to be a distinctly better markup since it has an unambiguous escape mechanism. Is there a Convert facility to migrate between markups?

It is a bit misleading to imply that Mylyn AsciiDoc (or ...) is WYSIWYG. There is a read-only preview / editable markup tab. WYSIWYG requires editing in the preview.

    Regards

        Ed Willink

Jens thanks for the pointers, those look great. I also prefer to have WikiText-based files as source, and generate Eclipse Help content from them. Jens has some great links there, but you may also find these useful:

http://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.help.ui%2Fhelp%2FMarkup-Generation.html
https://wiki.eclipse.org/DocumentationGuidelines/CrowdSourcingExample

The documentation includes details of files-as-source, but also covers an alternate approach of using the Eclipse wiki as source (see mediawiki-to-eclipse-help in the docs).

    Dear Keith,

    We are currently switching to Asciidoc
    (http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/), using Asciidoctor
    (http://asciidoctor.org/) for tooling. It is supported by Mylyn’s
    WikiText (https://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/WikiText/AsciiDoc), and
    we already create Eclipse Help, HTML pages, and PDF from a single
    source.

    We are at the very beginning, and we have only migrated some user
    documentation, see
    https://github.com/NumberFour/n4js/tree/master/docs/eu.numberfour.n4js.doc.
    In the long run, we want to port our Latex based specification to
    Asciidoc and use that as the only format. For that, we are
    currently investigating custom macros (both for AsciiDoc and Mylyn
    Wikitext).

    Regards,
    Jens
