any2dita is a plugin of the expeDITA toolkit that provides Web-based conversion into DITA from several popular formats: HTML, rich text (page copy/paste), Markdown, and Mediawiki. The page themes, behaviors, and DITA content rendering (this concept!) are powered by the expeDITA toolkit, which provides a plugin interface for third party extensions such as any2dita.
This initial version is a technology demonstrator, and initial documentation is sketchy. The most successful demos are from the extensive Markdown documentation itself at the daringfireball web site.
Walk-through
Click on the Markdown tab. On this tab you may either paste in/create your own Markdown content or use the URL field to directly get the text content of a Markdown site. We will use the URL option.
- Copy the link text following "Endpoint example:" and paste it into the "URL" input field.
- Submit the conversion request by clicking on the Proceed to migrate button.
- Look below the conversion panels for messages about the conversion process.
