AsciiDoc Description

AsciiDoc is a text document format for writing short documents, articles, books and UNIX man pages. AsciiDoc is a text document format for writing short documents, articles, books and UNIX man pages. AsciiDoc is highly configurable: both the AsciiDoc source file syntax and the backend output markups (which can be almost any type of SGML/XML markup) can be customized and extended by the user.You write an AsciiDoc document the same way you would write a normal text document, there are no markup tags or weird format notations. AsciiDoc files are designed to be viewed, edited and printed directly or translated to other presentation formats using the asciidoc command.The asciidoc command translates AsciiDoc files to HTML, XHTML and DocBook markups. DocBook can be post-processed to presentation formats such as HTML, PDF, roff, and Postscript using readily available Open Source tools. What's New in This Release: Additions and changes: · Implemented a title float style. A floating title (or bridgehead) is rendered just like a normal section but is not formally associated with a text body and is not part of the regular section hierarchy so the normal ordering rules do not apply. · Implemented inline comment macro so comment lines can now appear inside block elements. · Comment lines are sent to the output if the showcomments attribute is defined (comment blocks are never sent to the output). · Single quoting attribute values in AttributeList elements causes them to be substituted like normal inline text (without single quoting only attribute substitution is performed). · Rewrote list item processing (was very crufty). List continuation and list blocks now work as expected. Updated and clarified list documentation in User Guide. · The revision attribute now recognizes the RCS $Id$ marker format. · An RCS $Id$ marker formatted revision line in the header does not need to be preceded by an author line. · If an RCS $Id$ formatted revision is specified and the author name has not already been set then the author name in the $Id$ marker will be used. · Updated Gouichi Iisaka's Graphviz filter to version 1.1.3. · Added autowidth table attribute option for (X)HTML outputs. · DocBook backend now puts orgname optional attribute in DocBook header. · Deprecated undocumented companyname attribute in favor of DocBook's corpname. · Removed explicit closing backslash from HTML4 self-closing tags to comply with WC3 recommendation. Bug fixes: · Fixed 8.3.3 regression whereby adjacent lists with the same syntax but different list styles were incorrectly treated as a single list.
