Python 2 asciidoc.  The Python 3 port.   Asciidoctor, and that rogue py3 
port of Berthold Gehrke's.

I have to consider the 2 and 3 ports different dialects because I'm as 
worried about future drift in my risk estimates as about present problems.  
NTPsec is critical network infrastructure. so my planning horizon is around 
a decade.

Which is one of the reasons I recommend shooting the Python 2 base version 
through the head sooner and not later.

That's unfortunate. NTPsec solved that problem for GitLab, we get a build 
of our website every time we push to its repo,  I don't know how to do that 
for GitHub, alas.
