I'm not sure you can change them in the Python version. Back when I was at school the Harvard rules used [] but clearly its changed since then (its been a while :) . > > Is there a list somewhere of other versions? Or better, a canonical language > description that all versions support? The Asciidoc Python implementation was the first implementation of Asciidoc. This is the ML for that implementation, so its called the Asciidoc ML since that was the only version at the time, I guess the developer saw no point in including the implementation language in the title. The Asciidoc implementation in Python 2 is basically in end of life as Python 2 will EOL 2019. And the original developer has retired. Asciidoctor was developed to address some use-cases that a Python implementation can't (github rendering for example) and has now become the main implementation for day to day use, in my case because its way faster. If you are just starting its the one to use at this time. As always with active projects new ideas and extensions come up. To its great credit, Asciidoctor placed significant emphasis on being able to process old Asciidoc documents in compatibility mode, whilst still looking forward. There is also a Python 3 port of the Python 2 implementation which is fairly new but seems to be working fine. There is an awareness in the community that whilst multiple implementations are good, we don't want to get into a markdown situation, where everybody had his own version (and in markdowns case their cats and dogs had their own versions too). It is intended to develop an implementation independent definition for the Asciidoc markup language, it just needs effort to be available to do it. But how much of the presentational things like references in brackets that will cover is not yet considered. > > Also, what makes you think this is a Python group?
