Creating a plug-in for sorting glossary entries
parson are experts at what they do and helped us quickly create the DITA plug-in. We very much enjoyed working with them throughout the process. XPLM has no hesitation in recommending parson for services in the DITA environment.
Objectives and achievements
XPLM creates technical documentation in DITA XML and uses the DITA Open Toolkit with custom plug-ins for generating output formats. After switching to the DITA Open Toolkit 3.x and map-first-preprocessing, it was no longer possible to use the plug-in to automatically sort glossary entries. parson therefore created a new plug-in for XPLM to carry out this function.
