This is not the only comment ITT to recommend Asciidoc. It seems interesting, so I looked into it. On the asciidoc Github page [0], I found this note: "NOTE: This implementation is written in Python 2, which EOLs in Jan 2020. AsciiDoc development is being continued under @asciidoctor."
In other words, upgrading to py3 was such a pain, they rewrote it in Ruby instead. Ouch! This has got to be the worst example (among more than a few) of py3 pain I've seen yet!

- fcurts 7y agoThe Ruby implementation (Asciidoctor) is a separate implementation by a different team. I recommend to use it together with Antora (Asciidoc's answer to Sphinx).
- jessaustin 7y agoSure, that seemed likely. The python repo seems pretty unambiguously deprecated, however.
- Somasis 7y agoExcept that the version most distributions that are ridding themselves of python2 are using is a new python3 ported version. As far as I know the maintainer of that repository isn't touching it anymore, which is why it isn't linked. https://asciidoc3.org/ https://asciidoc3.org/
