Asciidoctor Demo

This is a demonstration of Asciidoctor 2.0.22. And this is the preamble of this document.

Purpose

This document exercises many of the features of AsciiDoc to test the Asciidoctor implementation.

💡
 If you want the HTML to have the familiar AsciiDoc Python style, load the asciidoc.css stylesheet using the CLI option -a stylesheet=asciidoc.css.

1. First Steps with AsciiDoc

Inline markup

  • underlines around a phrase place emphasis

  • astericks around a phrase make the text bold

  • double astericks around one or more letters in a word make those letters bold

  • double underscore around a substring in a word emphasizes that substring

  • use carrots around characters to make them superscript

  • use tildes around characters to make them subscript

  • to pass through HTML directly, surround the text with triple plus

  • characters can be escaped using a \

    • for instance, you can escape a quote inside emphasized text like Here's Johnny!

  • you can safely use reserved XML characters like <, > and &, which are escaped when converting

  • force a space between inline elements using the {sp} attribute

  • hold text together with an intrinsic non-breaking space attribute, {nbsp}

  • handle words with unicode characters like in the name Gregory Romé

  • claim your copyright ©, registered trademark ® or trademark ™

You can write text with inline links, optionally using an explicit link prefix. In either case, the link can have a query string.

If you want to break a line
just end it in a + sign
and continue typing on the next line.

1.1. Lists Upon Lists

Adjacent lists

  • this list

  • should join

  • to have

  • four items

Ordered lists

  1. These items

  2. will be auto-numbered

    1. and can be nested

  3. A numbered list can nest

    • unordered

    • list

    • items

Statement

I swear I left it in Guy's car. Let's go look for it.

term

definition line two

another term

another definition, which can be literal (indented) or regular paragraph

This should be a standalone paragraph, not grabbed by the definition list.

  • first level written on two lines

  • first level

    with this literal text

  • first level

    with more literal text

    • second level

      • third level

        • fourth level

  • back to
    first level

Let’s make a horizontal rule…​

then take a break.

2. …​and we’re back!

Do you want to see a Tiger?

Do you feel safer with the tiger in a box?

2.1. Block Quotes and “Smart” Ones

AsciiDoc is so powerful!

This verse comes to mind.

La la la

Here’s another quote:

When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

— Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

“Get moving!” he shouted.

3. Getting Literal

Want to get literal? Just prefix a line with a space (just 1 space will do).
I'll join that party, too.

We forgot to mention in Ordered lists that you can change the numbering style.

  1. first item (yeah!)

  2. second item, looking so mono

  3. third item, mono it is!

4. Wrap-up

ℹ️
 AsciiDoc is quite cool, you should try it!
