fox.jason.passthrough.pandoc's Issues

Problem generating with Oxygen 24 on Windows

We don't ever use the terminal to generate DITA docs - only Oxygen.

My Pandoc executable is located here on my machine: C:\Users\gscott\AppData\Local\Pandoc
I use a plugin directory outside of Oxygen. dita.dir=C:\DITA-OT

I uncommented and set configuration.properties: pandoc.dir=C:\Users\gscott\AppData\Local\

Am I entering the path incorrectly? Here's the log: oxygenlog.txt

Thanks for your plugins

Hey Jason, this is not an "issue" but a compliment. You've added several cool plugins (such as this pandoc one) to the registry and I wanted to say thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

Cannot convert a Word document to DITA topic

I had success in converting Markdown to DITA using the plugin.
I'm attaching a Word Document (DOCX).

Word File with various structures.docx

If I refer to it from a DITA Map:

<topicref format="pandoc" href="Word%20File%20with%20various%20structures.docx" type="topic"/>

the publishing is not able to convert it to DITA:

pandoc.process:
   [pandoc] Processing D:/projects/eXml/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT3.x/plugins/fox.jason.passthrough.pandoc-master/test/input-markdown/markdown.md
[file-rename] Moving 1 file to D:\projects\eXml\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT3.x\plugins\fox.jason.passthrough.pandoc-master\test\input-markdown\temp\html5\oxygen_dita_temp
    [pandoc] Processing D:/projects/eXml/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT3.x/plugins/fox.jason.passthrough.pandoc-master/test/input-markdown/Word File with various structures.docx
   [pandoc] Result: 1
   [pandoc] pandoc: File: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

Running pandoc from the command line on the same Word document seems to work for me:

pandoc "D:/projects/eXml/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT3.x/plugins/fox.jason.passthrough.pandoc-master/test/input-markdown/Word File with various structures.docx"

Plugin fails to find pandoc even though it is installed

I receive this error when I run DITA-OT build, even though I've confirmed pandoc is installed and can run from anywhere:
/Applications/Oxygen XML Editor/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT3.x/plugins/fox.jason.passthrough.pandoc-master/resource/antlib.xml:27: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "pandoc" (in directory "/var/folders/hm/51jzs7b97tvctw489dj_9w180000gp/T"): error=2, No such file or directory

Notes are not rendered as <note>.

Improve Note processing or at least render within <draft-comment> or raise a warning at compile time.

Create pandoc transtype for XXX=>dita

Related: jason-fox/fox.jason.passthrough#1

• Using the dita output format does not produce files with .dita or .xml extension. Instead it is the source files extension even though the contents of the converted file are in fact DITA. I'm forced to rename the extension.

This is a limitation of the dita plugin - the xslt there is converting the treated files with the same file names as the input. There is no extension point I could use, so I'd have to create a new transtype for pandoc-dita post-processing.

Unable to process markup placed within <entry>

Lists inside the csv_table (in the second column) are not rendered as an unordered list.

The lua script cannot process raw input within a simple table. Could consider a second pass for further processing.
