Markdown with Liquid syntax in Author builds?

Post by ms2art2 »

Is it possible to use Liquid syntax in markdown built with Author using a DITA map?

Hi,

I'm afraid not. Maybe you can add an improvement request on the plugin the publishing engine uses to convert markdown to DITA:

Hi Radu,

It sounds like Author uses the plugin you mention to convert markdown to DITA, and then builds HTML from the converted DITA. Is that right?

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

Yes, that's right. The Markdown documents that are referenced in the DITA map using the 'markdown' format attribute get dynamically converted to DITA topics during publishing using the DITA-OT plugin that Radu has mentioned.
