# Topic title here
Short description here.
Topic body starts here.
# Map title here {.map}
- [???](???)
- [???](???)
- [???](???)
- [???](???)
Notice the {.map} class attribute added to the title of the map. Without it, the above template would be
translated to a DITA topic.
§ Implementation specificities
-
The encoding of an MDITA file is, by default, the system encoding (e.g. window-1252 on a Western PC).
If you want to explicitly specify the encoding of an MDITA file, please save your
file with a UTF-8 or UTF-16 BOM (Byte Order Mark) or add an encoding directive inside a comment anywhere at the beginning of your file. Example:
<!-- -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*- -->
Heading
=======
## Sub-heading
Paragraphs are separated
by a blank line.
-
Adding a {.concept} class attribute to the title of an MDITA topic may be used to generate a DITA concept rather
than a DITA topic.
-
Out of the box, ditac supports the so-called Extended Profile.
§ Limitations
- Without a
{.map} class attribute added to the title of an MDITA map, this map is confused with a topic.
§ load.mdita.XXX parameters
Parameter -p load.mdita.extended-profile true is implicitely passed to ditac. This parameter is simply a shorthand for:
-p load.mdita.abbreviation true
-p load.mdita.admonition true
-p load.mdita.attributes true
-p load.mdita.definition true
-p load.mdita.footnotes true
-p load.mdita.gfm-strikethrough true
-p load.mdita.ins true
-p load.mdita.superscript true
-p load.mdita.tables true
-p load.mdita.typographic true
-p load.mdita.yaml-front-matter true
where abbreviation, admonition, attributes, etc, are all
Markdown extensions, documented in
Markdown extensions.
If for example, you don’t like the stock Extended Profile and prefer to use a simpler
one, plus the
autolink Markdown extension
(1), then pass:
-p load.mdita.core-profile true
-p load.mdita.autolink true
to ditac.
Parameter -p load.mdita.core-profile true is simply a shorthand for:
-p load.mdita.gfm-strikethrough true
-p load.mdita.superscript true
-p load.mdita.tables true
-p load.mdita.yaml-front-matter true
, which specifies how to write DITA topics and maps in Markdown
