AsciiDoc Language
Primary tabs
Scope:
The AsciiDoc Language project defines and maintains the AsciiDoc Language Specification and Technology Compatiblity Kit (TCK), its artifacts, and the corresponding language and API documentation. The AsciiDoc Language Specification describes the syntax and grammar, Abstract Semantic Graph (ASG), Document Object Model (DOM), referencing system, and APIs for processing, converting, and extending the language. The TCK is used to verify and certify that an AsciiDoc processor implementation is compatible with this specification.
Specifically, the project scope includes the:
- AsciiDoc language syntax and grammar (e.g., EBNF)
- doctype structure and objects
- ASG: namely the encoded form for use in the TCK (e.g., JSON)
- TCK: Technology Compatiblity Kit for the AsciiDoc language
- DOM API: in memory semantic representation of the encoded information
- Processor API (load, convert)
- Converter API
- Extension API
- Extended syntax processors (e.g., custom block or macro)
- Resolvers (e.g., path and attribute resolvers, ID generator)
- Parse events and lifecycle interceptors (e.g., input processor, output processor, tree processor)
- Integration adapters: syntax highlighter, STEM, bibliography, docinfo
- Expected converter behaviors (e.g., toc, ID generation, icon type, safe mode)
- Internal and external referencing system: (e.g., xrefs, includes, images)
- Reference converter and output format (e.g., HTML w/ reference stylesheet, DocBook)
- Built-in attributes and reserved attribute namespaces
- AsciiDoc media type (MIME) and .adoc file extension
The project also provides the:
- AsciiDoc language documentation for writers
- AsciiDoc API documentation
