Release engineering and documentation publishing tasks for Azure Pipelines: conventional-commit
changelog and version management, Markdown to HTML conversion, and ServiceNow knowledge base
publishing.
Status: scaffold. No tasks are published in this extension yet. Markdown2Html and
PublishKbArticle currently ship inside
Pipeline Tasks for Terraform
and are being moved here so that documentation-publishing threat classes — stored XSS in published
HTML, ServiceNow query injection — can be versioned, reviewed and trusted separately from Terraform
execution. This listing is stated as absent rather than described as if it existed.
Planned tasks
Task
What it does
PipelineMarkdown2Html
Converts Markdown to sanitised HTML for publication.
PipelinePublishKbArticle
Creates or updates a ServiceNow knowledge base article.
Task names carry the Pipeline prefix so this extension installs side-by-side with the Terraform
extension during the migration.
Requirements
An Azure Pipelines agent with Node 24 (a Node20_1 fallback handler is provided).
The extension requests the vso.build scope only.
