[mylyn-docs-dev] Markup bridge from Wikitext to EMF: should we pull this

[Alex Lagarde <alex.lagarde@xxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

for Mylyn Intent we had to develop a bridge allowing to represent 
Wikitext-parsable content as EMF models (more details here 
http://t.co/pCAi3aGYVO).

This is a work in progress, an it has not been heavily used so it 
probably still  contains bugs, but I think it would make cense to pull 
this plugin (and maybe markup.gen, which contains HTML & LaTeX 
generators based on these EMF models) in mylyn.docs.

Then we could work together on the Metamodel and on the parser so that 
it can fulfil all the community needs (e.g. 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=409694#c5).

The main benefit that I see is that we could easilly write generators 
allowing to go from Wikitext to any langage. For instance I love the 
LaTeX rendering, but always have a hard time writing LaTeX documents. If 
I could write my doc in textile and get a nice LaTeX-based PDF export 
I'll be glad :)

Best regards,
Alex
