New module: AsciiDoc for Fedora Documentation Writers (part of #8)
This is a first attempt at giving Fedora Documentation Writers a one- stop location to get started writing AsciiDoc. Instead of trying to rewrite existing documentation about AsciiDoc, I linked out to helpful resources maintained by the `asciidoctor.org` upstream. However, this commit does write new documentation about handy snippets to reuse in a Fedora-specific context. I also wrote a short guide on how to use reusable attributes, since I realize this is something I have done in many repositories I set up but never documented. Part of #8 to improve the new contributor experience to Fedora Documentation with AsciiDoc and Antora. Signed-off-by: Justin W. Flory <git@jwf.io>

= AsciiDoc for Fedora Documentation Writers
|
||||
|
||||
This documentation section provides advice, tips, and resources for the Fedora Community writing AsciiDoc for Fedora documentation.
|
||||
The purpose of this section is not to duplicate what already exists, but to point you the right way.
|
||||
The idea is for you to spend less time remembering AsciiDoc or Antora nitpicks, and more time writing good docs!

This page shares general information about writing in AsciiDoc as well as Fedora/Antora-specific syntax that comes up often in Fedora Documentation.

|

AsciiDoc is a lightweight markup language for authoring notes, articles, documentation, books, web pages, slide decks and man pages in plain text.

[[snippets]]
|
||||
== Fedora Documentation snippets
|
||||
|
||||
When you write Fedora Documentation, some things come up frequently.
|
||||
They may not be documented in general AsciiDoc documentation, like on `asciidoctor.org`.
|
||||
This section contains handy references for Fedora Documentation writers to copy and paste in their own AsciiDoc documents.
|
||||
|
||||
[[internal-link]]
|
||||
=== Link to a page in the same repository
|
||||
|
||||
Use the local path from the directory root to the AsciiDoc file name.
|
||||
|
||||
.Example 1
|
||||
[source,adoc]
|
||||
----
|
||||
xref:page-name.adoc
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
.Example 2
|
||||
[source,adoc]
|
||||
----
|
||||
xref:packaging/policy/rules.adoc
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
[[module-link]]
|
||||
=== Link to a page in the same repository, but different module
|
||||
|
||||
Like an internal link, but use a colon (`:`) to separate the module name.
|
||||
If you are not sure if you need this, you likely don't!
|
||||
Multiple modules bundled in the same repository is not currently a common scenario in Fedora Documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
.Example 1
|
||||
[source,adoc]
|
||||
----
|
||||
xref:module::page-name.adoc
|
||||
----
|
||||

|
||||
xref:council:policy/guiding-policy.adoc
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
[[external-antora-link]]
|
||||
=== Link to a page in a different Fedora Documentation repository
|
||||
|
||||
Link to another Fedora Documentation page that exists in another repository.
|
||||
Note that you *must* use the `name` field specified in the `antora.yml` file in the other repository or it will not work.
|
||||

||||

= Reusable attributes
|
||||
Fedora Documentation Team <docs@lists.fedoraproject.org>
|
||||
v0.0.1, 2020-08-26
|
||||
:toc:
|
||||
|
||||
This page explains how to use reusable metadata, or attributes, across multiple AsciiDoc documents in Fedora Documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[[why]]
|
||||
== Why reusable attributes?
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes you may want to use the same data across many AsciiDoc documents.
|
||||
Some examples are below:
|
||||
|
||||
* Version releases (e.g. Fedora `N`)
|
||||
* URL prefixes or suffixes (e.g. `https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/`)
|
||||
* Dates and time (e.g. current year, like `2020`)
|
||||
|
||||
For these and more use cases, *attributes* allow you to define some metadata in a single place, and reuse it in multiple places.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Overview
|
||||
|
||||
There are two requirements for your Fedora Documentation project to use attributes.
|
||||
|
||||
. Import attributes in your AsciiDoc file
|
||||
. Create an attributes file
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[[attributes-file]]
|
||||
== Create attributes file
|
||||
|
||||
First, initialize an attributes file for a specific module, as shown below:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,sh]
|
||||
----
|
||||
.
|
||||
└── ROOT
|
||||
├── nav.adoc
|
||||
└── pages
|
||||
├── index.adoc
|
||||
└── _partials
|
||||
└── attributes.adoc
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
This is an example `attributes.adoc` from the xref:diversity-inclusion::index.adoc[Fedora Diversity & Inclusion Team]:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,adoc]

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[[import]]
|
||||
== Import attributes
|
||||
|
||||
Next, import the attributes file into your AsciiDoc document.
|
||||
Placing this macro on the top line will do the rest:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,adoc]
|
||||
----
|
||||
\include::{partialsdir}/attributes.adoc[]
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[[use-attributes]]
|
||||
== Use attributes in documentation
|
||||
|
||||
After creating an attributes file *AND* import attributes, reference the attributes in AsciiDoc documents with the following syntax:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,adoc]
|
||||
----
|
||||
{ATTRIBUTE}
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
See this example from the Fedora Diversity & Inclusion Team:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,adoc]
