That's kind of an unfortunate position, in my opinion. Adding Ruby to a Linux machine is drop-dead simple (dnf/apt-get install ruby or dnf/apt-get install asciidoctor), the installation of Asciidoctor is minuscule compared to AsciiDoc Python and Asciidoctor supports a more modern and concise way of writing AsciiDoc with modern integrations.
So using Asciidoctor involves less dependencies in the end (given the swarm of packages that the AsciiDoc Python package on most Linux distributions pull in). Yes, another language, but still less packages. -Dan On Fri, Feb 12, 2016 at 9:50 PM, Keith Packard <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Friday, February 12, 2016 at 7:44:06 PM UTC-8, Lex Trotman wrote: >> >> You could also look at the Asciidoctor implementation, I don't think >> it uses JS for the toc. >> > > We're trying to avoid adding more dependencies to the kernel build > process, especially another language.
