AsciiDoc is a text format used for creating concise documents, including books, articles, and UNIX man pages.
If you're looking for a versatile and highly configurable text document format, AsciiDoc might be just what you need. This format is perfect for writing short documents, articles, books, and UNIX man pages.
One of the biggest advantages of AsciiDoc is its configurability. Users can easily customize both the AsciiDoc source file syntax and the backend output markups. This means that almost any type of SGML/XML markup can be used, providing a highly customizable experience for users.
Despite its configurability, writing an AsciiDoc document is incredibly straightforward. Users can write AsciiDoc documents just like they would a normal text document, with no markup tags or confusing format notations necessary. This means that you can focus on your content, rather than getting bogged down in the details.
Once you've written your AsciiDoc document, you can view, edit, and print it directly, or translate it to other presentation formats using the asciidoc command. This command is incredibly useful, as it can translate AsciiDoc files to HTML, XHTML, and DocBook markups. DocBook can then be post-processed to presentation formats such as HTML, PDF, roff, and Postscript thanks to readily available Open Source tools.
Overall, AsciiDoc is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a simple, yet highly configurable text document format. Whether you're writing a short article or a full-fledged book, AsciiDoc is an easy-to-use format that can help you get the job done quickly and efficiently.
