AsciiDoc
--------
AsciiDoc is an uncomplicated text document format for writing short
documents, articles, books and UNIX man pages.

Version 5 adds support for the generation of single and multi-part
DocBook books (including index, glossary, footnote, preface and
appendix elements).

AsciiDoc files can be translated to HTML: (with or without
stylesheets); DocBook (articles, books and refentry documents); and
LinuxDoc using the asciidoc(1) command. AsciiDoc has also used to
build and maintain websites.

AsciiDoc is highly configurable: both the AsciiDoc source file syntax
and the backend output markups (which can be almost any type of
SGML/XML markup) can be customized and extended by user.

Requisites
----------
Python 1.5.2 or higher.
