Agreed. The ease of Markdown, but well structured and complete enough to write a whole book in it. I love it. I've even fantasized about creating a new AsciiDo

Agreed. The ease of Markdown, but well structured and complete enough to write a whole book in it. I love it.
I've even fantasized about creating a new AsciiDoc mimetype, called AsciiWeb. It would be a subset of AsciiDoc that is relevant for browsing and would sit somewhere in the middle of Gopher or text browsing on one hand and the "normal" HTML/CSS/Javascript on the other. Very easy to create, suitable for minimal document browsing and structured enough that graphical clients can make it pretty and accessible. Oh wel.. one day I'll get to it.
- irq-1 6y agoThis is a great idea. Implemented as a browser plug-in that transforms the AsciiDoc the user would control the document, instead of the server/host. Users could set their own fonts and styles, change accessibility, restructure the content, hide blocks/quotes, overlay other data or links, etc... Changing who controls the content is a feature the web doesn't offer, except to technical people who can F12 to edit.
