Has anyone successfully integrated TCS with a Continuous Integration - Automated Documentation program?

Stefan, may be you are right. MarkDown perhaps makes more sense in a github environment. Thanks for mention my service, it can do the Job out of the box doubtless ;-)

But there are also possibilities to do the job within FrameMaker directly. Most things are already there.

If it is markdown in fact, one has to move from markdown to XML and in an roundtripping process like this from XML back to markdown. So you need some pre- and postprocessing but process I described above is still the base for this.

1. Markdown 2 DITA

Step 1: Move your markdown content to XHTML (i.e. with GitHub - cwjohan/markdown-to-html: Command-line utility to convert Github Flavored Markdown to HTML. )

Step 2: Use $InstallDir\AdobeFrameMaker2015\Structure\xml\DITA_1.3\app\technicalContent\xslt\h2d.xsl to convert HTML 2 DITA (BTW: FM uses this for smart pasting content to DITA Topics)

Step 3: Integrate this in your XML application mentioned above; perhaps extended with an ExtendScript

Step 4: Work like described above

2. DITA 2 Markdown

Use an XSLT to move DITA content to markdown directly and add it as a postprocess to your XML application. If someone is interested, please contact me by PM. I can provide a small skeleton as a starting point, which can be fit for custom requirements.

(BTW: if someone has a link for an XSLT in the web wich converts DITA to markdown (outside of an DITA OT process), would be happy, if someone would share it. I know this plugin GitHub - jelovirt/dita-ot-markdown: Markdown parser and output for DITA-OT​ but that's not that what we need here)

Hope this helps

I have not worked with the FrameMaker Publishing Server - I am not aware of its capabilities. 

We are using TCS2015 and a local Enterprise version of GitHub.

We would like to be able to import the content from a GitHub rst file into FM, groom it and save it back to the repository in its original format - MML or other MarkUp language.
