Basic Workflow for Adding and Converting Documents

To add and convert documents to Markdown++:

  • Add Source Documents: Use the Document Manager to add source files.

  • Set Markdown++ as the Active Target: In the Manage Targets menu, ensure Markdown++ is selected as the active target.

  • Generate and Review Output: Use the Preview Window to check the output structure.

Note: Markdown++ files generated by ePublisher are immediately ready for further editing or maintenance, making it easy to shift from complex authoring tools to Markdown-based workflows.

Workflow for Generating Markdown++ Output

Markdown++ enables round-tripping, where content can be converted from Markdown back into Markdown++. This feature aids in standardizing code, styles, and document structures across projects.

  1. Prepare Source Files: Add your source files (from Markdown++, DITA-XML, Word, or FrameMaker) to the project.

  2. Select Markdown++ as Target: Specify Markdown++ as the active output target in the Document Manager.

  3. Generate Markdown++ Files: Review the generated files, which will include Markdown files for each topic and structured elements that adhere to Markdown++ specifications.
