The "series of four or more repeated characters" is implemented in Asciidoctor and I agree with that part. What I don't agree with is when the ending delimiter is not congruent with the start delimiter. Allowing them to differ is a bad practice in my opinion and congruency should be enforced. This is no different than requiring balanced delimiters in programming languages. I guess we can just agree to disagree about this. Asciidoctor is not going to autofix malformed documents.
If you're finding it too hard to match start to end delimiters, then I think it's a sign that your delimiter lines are too long. That's exactly why I strongly advocate for using 4 characters unless there is a good reason to include more. -Dan On Mon, Nov 23, 2015 at 3:01 PM, Lex Trotman <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry Dan, but what part of "(normally a series of four or more > repeated characters)." did the Asciidoctor people not understand? > Four or more, not the same. > > Now its certainly pretty if they are the same (at least if you can see > them close together) but its a pain in the ass to ensure they are the > same when they are not close together. > > Parsers should not enforce style suggestions, at most it should be a > warning. > > Cheers > Lex > > On 24 November 2015 at 06:18, Dan Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On Mon, Nov 23, 2015 at 1:08 PM, Manfred Moser <[email protected] > > > > wrote: > >> > >> Your source also has to be a bit cleaner for asciidoc in terms of e.g. > >> open and close sections for code using the same amount of dashes and so > on. > > > > > > Excellent point.
