  • ASCIIDoc Preprocessor for Use With SvelteKit?
    2 projects | /r/sveltejs | 10 Aug 2021
    I've been looking around for a ASCIIDoc preprocessor a la svelte-preprocess-markdown. I'm pretty sure I could accomplish it with marked extensions (or I could try and write my own preprocessor with asciidoctor.js) but I'm wondering if anyone knows of some additional resources that might help.

    AsciiDoc is the language, AsciiDoctor is an implementation in Ruby. There are other implementations, such as libasciidoc for Go: https://github.com/bytesparadise/libasciidoc.

    If you mean libasciidoc for Go, it does not support all the AsciiDoc features [1]. The JS parser is transpiled [2] from the Ruby implementation (which is not a bad thing, it's something most languages can't have).

    My favourites are Rust and Haskell. Neither of them had a parcer until recently (even though the original implementation has been around for a few years now). Both are at early development stages at the moment.
