Hello,
I use asciidoc in wiki-like fashion. I wanted something simple as a personal
wiki - I don't need neither collaborative features of wiki nor revision
control ( I use subversion for that ). After trying several wiki engines and
web frameworks I ended up with a simple webpy application similar to
http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2006/01/06/a-simple-wiki-with-webpy/ .
Instead of markdown in that example I use asciidoc and it works very well so
far.
The only hack was to link /usr/bin/asciidoc to asciidoc.py in the directory of
web.py application. Now I can simply "import asciidoc" and use it as a python
module, I call for example
"asciidoc.asciidoc('xhtml11', 'article', (), page, '<stdout>', ())"
from my python code and display the result as a web page. This means, that I
have directory full of my text documents in asciidoc format, and I can view
them on-the-fly as xhtml in my web browser.
