Almost a year ago, I asked about the Asciidoc Standard <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/asciidoc/wj9kjl8gwC4/Ol5HA2RyDgAJ>, because I'm writing a parser in Pascal. Since then, little has been done.
Look at markua format, It is a good markup language. It has a clear specification <http://markua.com/>: Elements structure, what is valid, what is optional, what is compulsory, what is free for implementor, and precedence of rules. It removes any ambiguity and solves any doubt. I have already implemented the full markua specification parser that translates into FB2 and html (except courses stuff) In fact, I asked about specification already in 2016 <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/asciidoc/5tJHg6UQAT0/BMaIB5EAAQAJ>. That is over three years ago. I'm afraid that it means that specification is not an issue for asciidoc/asciidoctor maintainers. The message *is "Use my implementation. I will post changes in the list as they come out. Move on and don't nitpick"*. Writing Asciidoc specification should be in the top of your TODO list related to asciidoc. I don't think it is such a daunting task. You don't have to submit it to ISO, just a clear webpage like markua. You, programmers, probably have a draft of what attributes use, etc. just ordering, cleaning it up a little and uploading to a webpage. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "asciidoc" group.
