Thanks for your feedback Lex. It's great to hear from you. I'm definitely excited about the challenges that lie ahead.

We haven't removed two line titles in Asciidoctor & will continue to support them, at least in compatibility mode. In 1.5.0, they work even when compat-mode is not set. As I'm sure you're aware, we just haven't documented them. We believe it's better for writers to type less and easier to teach the single-line form. Having said that, this will clearly be an important and tricky conversation for the standard. I can already think of ways to define the spec so it doesn't have the alignment problems with multibyte chars & variable-width fonts in the current implementation. I'm ready to keep my mind open. The reason I'm keeping my mind open about headings & other syntax is because I understand that comfort with the syntax is important to the author's writing process. It's one of the main reasons AsciiDoc is gaining on Markdown. We can't make everyone happy, so it's a give & take. What we want is to achieve something with which any reasonable writer feels comfortable. Cheers! -Dan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "asciidoc" group.
