This release includes lots of enhancements, but the big news is that the a2x toolchain wrapper has been rewritten in Python and now supports the EPUB e-book standard. All additions and changes are detailed in the changelog: http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/CHANGELOG.html What is it? ----------- AsciiDoc is an uncomplicated text document format for writing articles, documentation, manuals, 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, EPUB, DVI, roff and Postscript using the a2x toolchain wrapper and 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 2.4 or higher. Obtaining AsciiDoc ------------------ Examples and online documentation at http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/ AsciiDoc can be downloaded from the SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/asciidoc/ The online Mercurial repository is at http://hg.sharesource.org/asciidoc/ Regards, Stuart -- Stuart Rackham
