* Converting AsciiDoc to org-mode, preserving index entries @ 2018-02-19 19:54 Diego Zamboni 2018-02-20 0:25 ` John Kitchin 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Diego Zamboni @ 2018-02-19 19:54 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Org-mode; +Cc: Diego Zamboni [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 837 bytes --] Hi, I have a large document (a book) written in AsciiDoc, and I’ve been thinking of converting it to org-mode, which I find eminently more readable. The method I’ve come up with is: 1. AsciiDoc -> Docbook using asciidoc or asciidoctor 2. Docbook -> org using pandoc The conversion seems to work well, except for one thing: I have index terms in my AsciiDoc files using the ‘((( … )))’ syntax (http://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#index-terms <http://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#index-terms>). Step 1 converts them correctly into <indexterm> tags, but pandoc inserts them as part of the main text instead of producing‘#+INDEX entries. Before I go report the bug to Pandoc, I was wondering if anyone has tried this and maybe come up with some other way of doing the conversion. Thanks! —Diego [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 1414 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

For example, you could replace each term with a uuid, and keep a list that maps the uuid to the term. Then the uuid would pass through the pandoc untouched, and afterwards, go back through and replace the uuid with the #+INDEX entries. I don't know if that is worth the effort, but it might get you a faster org-doc than bug reporting :) John ----------------------------------- Professor John Kitchin Doherty Hall A207F Department of Chemical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-7803 @johnkitchin http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu On Mon, Feb 19, 2018 at 11:54 AM, Diego Zamboni <diego@zzamboni.org> wrote: > Hi, > > I have a large document (a book) written in AsciiDoc, and I’ve been > thinking of converting it to org-mode, which I find eminently more > readable.

I may end up going this route, but I thought there should be a proper way of doing it :) Best, --Diego On Tue, Feb 20, 2018 at 1:25 AM, John Kitchin <jkitchin@andrew.cmu.edu> wrote: > If it is a one-time conversion, it might be worthwhile just replacing the > index terms with something temporary, getting to the org-file, and then > putting them back in the right way.
