AsciiDoc(tor) for Technical Documentation
Some of people think, and this is the majority, just use Word Processor software - be it in the desktop or in the cloud. This might work, of course, but might lead to inconsistency. So, we at Zimera Systems has the policy to use open and free tools to power our technical documentation. For this purpose, we find it easier to use Markdown + Pandoc but lately we move to AsciiDoc format and uses Asciidoctor and Asciidoctor-pdf. They are very easy to customize and creating PDF file is a piece of cake with complete theming guide.
