ANN: AsciiDoc 8.0.0 released

[Stuart Rackham]

This release has a lot of new stuff including an experimental LaTeX 
backend. See the CHANGELOG at
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/CHANGELOG.html for a full list of
additions and changes.

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

AsciiDoc files can be translated to HTML, XHTML and DocBook
(articles, books and refentry documents) using the asciidoc(1) command. 
DocBook can be post-processed to presentation formats such as HTML, PDF, 
roff, and Postscript using readily available Open Source tools.

AsciiDoc is 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 2.3 or higher.

Obtaining AsciiDoc

The latest AsciiDoc version, examples and online documentation can be
downloaded from http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/

AsciiDoc is also hosted at the SourceForge at
