Hi all,
Do you know of an alternative to the snippet plugin? We use it to pull in documentation from javadoc output into our doc pages. Our user macro takes the space name and builds snippet macro. This pulls in a section of text from a javadoc file.
For example:
{super-snippet:id=classConfig|javadoc=true|url=/module-dbconnector/com/us/connector/DatabaseScanner.html}
Transforms to
{snippet:id=classConfig|url=<spacename>/module-dbconnector/com/us/connector/DatabaseScanner.html}
Snippet plugin
- transforms the <spacename> into a baseURL
- Accesses the DatabaseScanner.html file
- Locates the classConfig snippet, marked by xml comments (<!-- SNIPPED BEGIN classConifg-->)
- Includes the snippet in the confluence page
This lets us update javadoc and documentation together knowing that the examples or configuration specs are up to date.
However, the snippet plugin appears to have been abandoned and isn't compatible with the latest version of confluence.
Please let me know if you can think of any alternatives that would allow us to slice html files into section and include them in confluence pages.
Thanks
Peter
