For those who like style...

I've been getting a little crazy exploring how varied and presentable I can 
make the AsciiDoc output. In my previous message, I shared my dzslides 
backend [1] which produced these HTML5-based presentations [2].

We all love Twitter Bootstrap and there's no question their documentation, 
which is based on Bootstrap, is pretty slick looking [3]. I wanted to see 
if I could reproduce that page using AsciiDoc and a custom backend [4] 
(employing as few tricks as possible). I'm happy to report that I could 
match it almost 1-to-1 [5] (with the exception of non-documentation 
elements such as forms and buttons, and a few limitations on styling 
tables). I'm going to keep working to simplify the AsciiDoc source document 
and backend, perhaps even enough to compel Twitter to adopt it :) You are 
welcome to join the effort!

Cheers,

-Dan

p.s. In the process of developing the bootstrap-docs backend, I realized 
that AsciiDoc could really use a base HTML5 backend that is much more 
minimal and makes maximum use of HTML5 tags (section, article, aside, etc). 
I'll likely refactor that out of the bootstrap-docs backend so that I have 
less to override. I also plan to create a vanilla bootstrap backend that 
doesn't use the extra assets used in the documentation.
