Installation

Installation:

Certiv Tools update site: https://www.certiv.net/updates

Requirements

• Eclipse 2021-03
• JDK 11+
• Graphviz for Dot and PlantUml language blocks
• Pandoc and a LaTeX processor (like MikTeX) for Html and Pdf export

Configuration

Eclipse Preference pages ---

Window -> Certiv Tools -> FluentMark

To use the Pandoc converter, select the pandoc executable from the local filesystem on the Pandoc Converter tab.

To use Graphviz Dot, select the dot executable on the Fluentmark preference page. Note, if Graphviz is installed in a non-default directory, PlantUML requres that the GRAPHVIZ_DOT environment variable be set to the actual installation directory.

To use the BlackFriday converter, install the customized blackfriday-tool from GitHub. A Windows 64-bit compiled executable is available for download blackfriday-tool.zip. The blackfriday-tool executable can then be selected on the BlackFriday Converter tab.
