AsciiDoc is very much alive in the Asciidoctor implementation. Adoption of AsciiDoc is stronger now than ever before and we are nipping at the heels of Markdown, reStructuredText/Sphinx, DocBook and even LaTeX. AsciiDoc Python laid a solid foundation for the AsciiDoc language on which to build. The implementation, on the other hand, is dated. Relevant to this audience, we're working on a new section of the Asciidoctor User Manual that covers migration from AsciiDoc Python. It's mostly minor changes here and there (some of which are simply a result of technology moving forward), but even small hints can save a lot of time. I'm aware that for a newcomer, it's not very clear from asciidoc.org that AsciiDoc has other implementations. Lex and I have discussed on other threads the need for a new landing page focused on the language itself, not the implementations. Unfortunately, I can't dedicate time to that at the moment. So it's remains a goal. I hope that clears some things up. Lex wrote: > PS and I'm aware of another interesting implementation in the works, but > can't announce it yet ...
