# AsciiDoc DITA Toolkit
[](https://badge.fury.io/py/asciidoc-dita-toolkit)

[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
Scripts to review and fix AsciiDoc content for DITA-based publishing workflows, based on rules from the [asciidoctor-dita-vale](https://github.com/jhradilek/asciidoctor-dita-vale) project.
## 🚀 Resources
- [PyPI: asciidoc-dita-toolkit](https://pypi.org/project/asciidoc-dita-toolkit/)
- [GitHub repository](https://github.com/rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit)
- [Documentation](https://github.com/rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit/blob/main/docs/)
- [Contributing Guide](https://github.com/rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)
## 📖 What is this?
The AsciiDoc DITA Toolkit is a command-line tool for technical writers and editors. It helps you:
- **Find and fix** common issues in `.adoc` files before publishing
- **Apply automated checks** and transformations using a plugin system
- **Ensure consistency** across large documentation projects
- **Integrate** with your existing documentation workflow
## 📦 Installation
### Option 1: Container (No Python Required)
Use Docker containers if you prefer not to install Python dependencies locally, or need consistent environments across teams:
```sh
# Production use (smaller, optimized)
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit-prod:latest --help
# Development use (includes dev tools)
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit:latest --help
# GitHub Container Registry (alternative)
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace ghcr.io/rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit:latest --help
```
**Benefits of container approach:**
- No need to install Python or manage dependencies
- Consistent environment across different systems
- Easy to use in CI/CD pipelines
- Automatic cleanup after each run
### Option 2: PyPI
Install the toolkit using pip:
```sh
python3 -m pip install asciidoc-dita-toolkit
```
> **📦 Unified Package**: This is the unified package that includes both the core framework and all plugins. The CLI command is the convenient short `adt` while the package name remains descriptive.
> **🌙 Nightly Releases**: This project automatically publishes nightly patch releases to PyPI whenever there are new commits. These releases include the latest fixes and improvements. The nightly releases follow the pattern `x.y.z` where `z` is automatically incremented.
### Upgrading
**Container:**
```sh
# Production image (recommended for most users)
docker pull rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit-prod:latest
# Development image (includes dev tools)
docker pull rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit:latest
```
**PyPI:**
```sh
python3 -m pip install --upgrade asciidoc-dita-toolkit
```
### Requirements
- Python 3.7 or newer
- No external dependencies (uses only Python standard library)
## 🔧 Usage
### List available plugins
```sh
adt --list-plugins
```
### Run a plugin
```sh
adt <plugin> [options]
```
- `<plugin>`: Name of the plugin to run (e.g., `EntityReference`, `ContentType`)
- `[options]`: Plugin-specific options (e.g., `-f` for a file, `-r` for recursive)
### Common Options
All plugins support these options:
- `-f FILE` or `--file FILE`: Process a specific file
- `-r` or `--recursive`: Process all .adoc files recursively in the current directory
- `-d DIR` or `--directory DIR`: Specify the root directory to search (default: current directory)
### 📝 Examples
#### Fix HTML entity references in a file
```sh
adt EntityReference -f path/to/file.adoc
```
#### Add content type labels to all files recursively
```sh
adt ContentType -r
```
#### Process all .adoc files in a specific directory
```sh
adt EntityReference -d /path/to/docs -r
```
### Container Usage
If using the container version, all commands work the same but are prefixed with the Docker run command:
```sh
# List plugins
docker run --rm rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit-prod:latest --list-plugins
# Fix entity references in current directory
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit-prod:latest EntityReference -r
# Add content type labels to a specific file
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit-prod:latest ContentType -f docs/myfile.adoc
# Interactive shell for development (use dev image)
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/workspace rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit:latest /bin/bash
```
**Container command breakdown:**
- `docker run --rm` - Run and automatically remove container when done
- `-v $(pwd):/workspace` - Mount current directory as `/workspace` in container
- `rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit-prod:latest` - The production container image (recommended)
- Everything after the image name works exactly like the PyPI version
**Tip:** Create a shell alias to simplify container usage:
```sh
alias adt='docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace rolfedh/asciidoc-dita-toolkit-prod:latest'
```
Then use it exactly like the PyPI version:
```sh
adt --list-plugins
adt EntityReference -r
```
### 🔌 Available Plugins
| Plugin | Description | Example Usage |
|--------|-------------|---------------|
| `EntityReference` | Replace unsupported HTML character entity references with AsciiDoc attribute references | `adt EntityReference -f file.adoc` |
| `ContentType` | Add `:_mod-docs-content-type:` labels where missing, based on filename | `adt ContentType -r` |
> **📋 Technical Details**: For plugin internals and supported entity mappings, see [docs/asciidoc-dita-toolkit.md](docs/asciidoc-dita-toolkit.md).
## 🔍 Troubleshooting
- **Python Version**: Make sure you are using Python 3.7 or newer
- **Installation Issues**: Try upgrading pip: `python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip`
- **Development Setup**: If you need to use a local clone, see the [contributor guide](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)
- **Plugin Errors**: Use `-v` or `--verbose` flag for detailed error information
