What's the benefit AsciiDoc has over Markdown?
- smoyer 6y agoIt has many features that are added to MarkDown in incompatible ways (e.g. I was frustrated with tables in the various dialects). I know that the MarkDown stance is that you should just embed HTML but I know HTML well so I might as well write the whole document that way. I experimented with reStructured text and AsciiDoc and found the latter better. Combined with PanDoc ... it's amazing. I should also note that I'm happily using AsciiDoc with Hugo instead of MarkDown so I was hoping it was available here.
- jkmcf 6y agoMarkdown is great for simple pages, but you need a Markdown pre-processor to do more advanced work like including another markdown file. E.g., you want to write a book and each file is a chapter. If you are writing something with code samples you might want the code files separate so you can test they are correct.
