Hello! In our search for adequate markup to be used for our upcoming open-source project, we stumbled upon AsciiDoc (http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/) and, so far, like it very much and decided to use it instead of reST/Sphinx, markdown etc.
However, the best part is that there is asciidoc-fossil-backend (https://github.com/srackham/asciidoc-fossil-backend) which enables one to write his/her documentation in AsciiDoc and still display it nicely on the site using Fossil's wiki mechanism. I was not able to add new page following documentation @github, but the following works: asciidoc -b fossil -o - asciidoc.txt | fossil wiki create AsciiDoc to add new page to the wiki, while: fossil wiki export AsciiDoc AsciiDoc.wiki created embedded doc (which seems to be favoured nowadaysa). Remembering that I was complaining a lot about Fossil' not using some 'standard' markup (reST/markdown/...), I did accept this design choise believing that Fossil offer so much more, but now I was graced by even better solution. :-) AsciiDoc is very rich semantically and able to cope with the whole books, it produces excellent PDF output (we use dblatex toolchain), generates several flavours of HTML (html4, xhtml, html5) and can be used for generating man pages as well as EPUB, DocBook output etc., but it is still possible to get decent Fossil wiki output without putting too much weight on the server by installing DocBook toolchain tools. I did not find any post about this backend here, but only in the AsciiDoc mailing list, so hope it might be of some use for Fossil users. Sincerely, Gour -- One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna. http://atmarama.net | Hlapicina (Croatia) | GPG: 52B5C810
