AsciiDoc is a pretty nice plaintext format with a rich offer of components.
I wish it was more widely supported. Unfortunately, the only worthy implementation is in Ruby (AsciiDoctor), which is what all the other projects (in Java, Python) use.
AsciiDoc would see more adoption, I think, if independent implementations existed in other languages.

- kamma4434 2y agoAs Ruby is very brittle when you move between OS we use jruby with gradle - all plugins included. One day I should make it into a native executable with Graal. Current workplace maintains a good amount of tech docs written in AsciiDoc that have been written over approx 20 years, that create PDF/ebooks and are published as a searchable online version with Antora. It works pretty well.
