I love style, I'm just not that great at it, can't count count the
number of hours I've spent obsessively twiddling with CSS :-)

+1, it's my default styling for HTML development.

I installed the your bootstrap-docs backend and compiled the AsciiDoc
test article.txt and AsciiDoc manual, the results are stunning!
Especially like the syncing TOC.

The only glitch I encountered was a broken Github link to bootstrap-docs.zip

https://github.com/downloads/mojavelinux/asciidoc-bootstrap-docs-backend/bootstrap-docs.zip

So I installed it manually.
