Thanks. I had always taken the attitude that we wrote for the original Python AsciiDoc, and that using AsciiDoctor was a choice that git-scm.com made, and something they would have to deal with as far as compatibility (AFAIK, AsciiDoctor grew out of git-scm.com's home-grown asciidoc parser). What's the status on AsciiDoc versus AsciiDoctor? The latter seems more actively developed these days, but perhaps that is just my perception. The incompatibilities seem fairly minimal (if those first two patches are the extent of it, I have no problem at all trying to remain compatible with both). Would it ever make sense to switch to AsciiDoctor as our official command-line build program? I know it is supposed to be much faster (though a lot of the slowness in our build chain is due to docbook, not asciidoc itself). Specifically I'm not excited about getting into a state where we have to maintain both an asciidoc.conf file _and_ ruby extensions for asciidoctor. I don't mind if somebody wants to step up and keep the asciidoctor bits in sync with the asciidoc.conf, but I feel like one of them needs to be considered the "master". -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
