FREEMARKER-129 - Please have a look ...
Hi folks,
I mostly done with merging the "freemarker-cli" into "freemarker-generator" project - if you have some spare cycles to waste please have a look at
* https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-129 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-129>
* https://github.com/apache/freemarker-generator/tree/FREEMARKER-129 <https://github.com/apache/freemarker-generator/tree/FREEMARKER-129>
* https://github.com/apache/freemarker-generator/pull/5 <https://github.com/apache/freemarker-generator/pull/5>
As usual it is a tiny PR touching 200+ file :-)
The next challenges after cleanup & merge
* Initial release - need to get that stuff into the official Maven repo ...
* Update the FreeMarker web site
* Build a community :-)
Thanks in advance,
Siegfried Goeschl

The problem with using two different XML editors is sometimes that it
results in some unwanted diffs in the commits... but it had to tried to
know.
As of DocBook, it's simpler if we only has a single documentation tool.
It's also nice if everything follows the same visual style, though not
strictly necessary. For me at least, working with the DocBook and XXE is
about as efficient as it can get, so, I had no much motivation to look for
alternatives. Except, it's somewhat a barrier if someone else wants to edit
docs semi-seriously (i.e., not just typo fixes, but still not enough to
invest into DocBook and XXE or something like that). But I expect that to
hardly ever come up in reality. Anyway, if you strongly prefer
AsciiDoc/Markdown, and add the generator to the build, I won't be picky.
Though if someone has a proper DocBook editor ready (and that used to be a
big "if"), then I'm not sure why would you going with the less capable
formats.
Site update. Of course, you get a subdirectory, and we link it from the
menu. No problem so far. But you have to generate that sub-directory with
something. If it's not DocBook, then docgen can't do that.

Hi Daniel,
You should see my workload :-)
Don't worry about DocGen - I worked with DocBook before and have Oxygen XML Editor ...
Having said that
* When the PR is merged I would like to update the FreeMarker site to reflect the changes
* Not sure if I want to write documentation for "freemarker-generator" in DocBook - would prefer AsciiDoc or Markdown
Thanks in advance,

I have no memories of how apache/freemarker and
apache/freemarker-online-tester was added to Travis, and I see nothing
related on the GitHub UI (though I guess they are pushing Github Actions
now). On the Travis site, it only offers my personal repositories to add,
not Apache repositories.

Hi Daniel,
Are you able to enable Travis integration for "freemarker-generator" on GitHub?!

Hi,
It's great that freemarker-generator progresses. I'm not sure when will I
find the time to check it out thoroughly (work pressure is quite high
nowadays), but I will be on it.
As of updating the FreeMarker website, and writing documentation(!), I
recommend using docgen, because FreeMarker Manual and Site is done with
that as well. I also recommend grabbing a free version of the XMLMind XML
Editor, and follow the instructions in the freemarker-docgen project to set
it up. It has a steep learning curve (don't expect a usual word processor,
it's a tree editor), but after that, it saved me a tons of time and pain
over the years.
