About:
AsciidocFX is a comprehensive authoring tool for creating books, articles, and slides using the AsciiDoc syntax. It integrates a live preview editor with a powerful toolchain that can render output to PDF, EPUB, and HTML5. The application simplifies the publishing workflow by bundling necessary converters and rendering engines into a single desktop interface.
Key Features:
  • Live preview editor with split view
  • Multi-format export (PDF, EPUB, HTML5)
  • Integrated image and diagram tools (PlantUML, Mermaid)
  • Book and multi-file project management
  • Built-in AsciiDoc syntax highlighting
Use Cases:
  • Technical writing and software documentation
  • Authoring books or long-form articles
  • Creating presentation slides from text
  • Generating publication-ready PDFs from source code
Alternatives:
  • VS Code – General-purpose editor requiring extensions for AsciiDoc, whereas AsciidocFX is a dedicated, all-in-one solution.
  • Typora – Focuses on Markdown with WYSIWYG editing, while AsciidocFX specifically targets the AsciiDoc ecosystem and toolchain.
