    Minimal Mistakes Jekyll theme

    Jekyll theme for building a personal site, blog, project documentation

    A flexible two-column Jekyll theme. Perfect for building personal sites, blogs, and portfolios. Everything from the menus, sidebars, comments, and more can be configured or set with YAML Front Matter. Built with HTML5 + CSS3. All layouts are fully responsive with helpers to augment your content. Free to use however you want under the MIT License. Clone it, fork it, customize it, etc. Settings that affect your entire site can be changed in Jekyll’s configuration file: _config.yml, found in the root of your project. If you don’t have this file you’ll need to copy or create one using the theme’s default _config.yml as a base. Take a moment to look over the configuration file included with the theme. Comments have been added to provide examples and default values for most settings. Bundled as a "theme gem" for easier installation/upgrading.

    html5media

    html5media is a DITA-OT plugin and authoring UI for media insertion

    HTML5Media is a DITA Open Toolkit plugin and authoring UI that helps DITA content creators insert media such as video, audio and animated graphics into DITA source. When the DITA-OT outputs HTML to an HTML5-aware browser, the html5media plugin transforms the DITA media xrefs into HTML5-complient video, audio and canvas tags. The authoring UI helps writers preview media before insertion into DITA source. XML playlists provide a means of storage for media metadata. There are two zipped files to download. One contains the base code; the other contains sample media files. Click "Browse All Files" to find both.
