  • KeenWrite

  • When I started developing KeenWrite[1], I wanted a modular architecture[2] that made the choice of Markdown vs. AsciiDoc vs. DocBook irrelevant with respect to generating PDF or HTML files. The core idea of writing pure text documents is to separate content from presentation; the syntax, while important to some, shouldn't sway the output format.

    KeenWrite could integrate AsciidoctorJ and its XHTML5 back-end to support AsciiDoc in the future, if there was demand.

  • ursus

    Static site generator for All About Berlin

  • Ursus too! It would be fairly trivial. I just prefer Markdown though. I edit content for a living and Markdown is rock-solid.

  • pandoc

    Universal markup converter

  • pandoc is a format converter, not a format. You still need to write the document. That said, I would rather choose something pandoc supports as an input format than asciidoc, which is a constantly moving target that still doesn't have a specification, is governed by a working group that seemingly never makes decisions, and in practice asciidoctor may as well be the specification.

    As an addendum to yesterday's discussion of software estimates, one of the more amusing open source versions is this guy saying in July of 2014 he expected pandoc's asciidoc frontend to be done in a "few months": https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/1456#issuecomment-50805...
