About:
Asciidoctor is a fast, open-source text processor and publishing toolchain for converting AsciiDoc content to HTML5, DocBook, PDF, and other formats. It provides a powerful ecosystem for technical documentation, enabling dynamic content inclusion and customizable outputs. The tool is written in Ruby and serves as the backbone for many modern documentation sites.
Key Features:
  • Fast processing and lightweight architecture
  • Multi-format output (HTML, DocBook, PDF, EPUB)
  • Extensible with custom extensions and backends
  • Rich macro system for includes, tables, and cross-references
Use Cases:
  • Generating static documentation websites from AsciiDoc source
  • Producing print-ready PDFs for technical manuals
  • Automating documentation builds in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • Markdown – Simpler syntax but lacks AsciiDoc's advanced publishing features and built-in tooling
  • Sphinx – Python-based, excels at large documentation sets but uses reStructuredText instead of AsciiDoc
