Hi Keith! I'm thrilled to see AsciiDoc getting a run at the Linux documentation. Super cool.
I'm curious why you're considering AsciiDoc Python instead of Asciidoctor. AsciiDoc Python served as the reference implementation for Asciidoctor, but for the most part has moved in maintenance mode for existing users. Asciidoctor is where AsciiDoc continues to evolve and supports many new features over the Python processor, one of whic is a reified TOC. It's also roughly 100x faster than AsciiDoc Python. Granted, Asciidoctor does not run on Python. The core is implemented in Ruby, though the same codebase is also available for JavaScript/Node as Asciidoctor.js and Java as AsciidoctorJ. It can also run on JRuby without AsciidoctorJ. (I'd like to eventually see an Asciidoctor.py, but we're not at that stage yet). If you have any questions with Asciidoctor, I encourage you to post to the Asciidoctor list. http://discuss.asciidoctor.org/ Cheers, -Dan On Fri, Feb 12, 2016 at 8:44 PM, Lex Trotman <[email protected]> wrote: > You could also look at the Asciidoctor implementation, I don't think > it uses JS for the toc. > > On 13 February 2016 at 13:17, Keith Packard <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm trying to help out with linux documentation.
