+
+AsciiDoc is a text document format for writing notes, documentation,
+articles, books, ebooks, slideshows, web pages, blogs and UNIX man
+pages.
+
+.This document
+**********************************************************************
+This is an overly large document, it probably needs to be refactored
+into a Tutorial, Quick Reference and Formal Reference.
+
+If you're new to AsciiDoc read this section and the <<X6,Getting
+Started>> section and take a look at the example AsciiDoc (`*.txt`)
+source files in the distribution `doc` directory.
+**********************************************************************
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+AsciiDoc is a plain text human readable/writable document format that
+can be translated to DocBook or HTML using the asciidoc(1) command.
+
+asciidoc(1) comes with a set of configuration files to translate
+AsciiDoc articles, books and man pages to HTML or DocBook backend
+formats.
+
+.My AsciiDoc Itch
+**********************************************************************
+DocBook has emerged as the de facto standard Open Source documentation
+format. But DocBook is a complex language, the markup is difficult to
+read and even more difficult to write directly -- I found I was
+and fixing syntax errors, than I was writing the documentation.
+**********************************************************************
+
+
+[[X6]]
+Getting Started
+---------------
+Installing AsciiDoc
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+See the `README` and `INSTALL` files for install prerequisites and
+procedures. Packagers take a look at <<X38,Packager Notes>>.
+
+[[X11]]
+Example AsciiDoc Documents
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The best way to quickly get a feel for AsciiDoc is to view the
+AsciiDoc web site and/or distributed examples:
+
+- Take a look at the linked examples on the AsciiDoc web site home
+  page {website}.  Press the 'Page Source' sidebar menu item to view
+  corresponding AsciiDoc source.
+- Read the `*.txt` source files in the distribution `./doc` directory
+  along with the corresponding HTML and DocBook XML files.
+
+
+AsciiDoc Document Types
+-----------------------
+There are three types of AsciiDoc documents: article, book and
+manpage.
+
+Use the asciidoc(1) `-d` (`--doctype`) option to specify the AsciiDoc
+document type -- the default document type is 'article'.
+
+article
+~~~~~~~
+Used for short documents, articles and general documentation.  See the
+AsciiDoc distribution `./doc/article.txt` example.
+
+AsciiDoc defines standard DocBook article frontmatter and backmatter
+<<X93,section markup templates>> (appendix, abstract, bibliography,
+glossary, index).
+
+book
+~~~~
+Books share the same format as articles, with the following
+differences:
+
+- The part titles in multi-part books are <<X17,top level titles>>
+  (same level as book title).
+- Some sections are book specific e.g. preface and colophon.
+
+Book documents will normally be used to produce DocBook output since
+DocBook processors can automatically generate footnotes, table of
+contents, list of tables, list of figures, list of examples and
+indexes.
+
+AsciiDoc defines standard DocBook book frontmatter and backmatter
+<<X93,section markup templates>> (appendix, dedication, preface,
+bibliography, glossary, index, colophon).
+
+.Example book documents
+Book::
+  The `./doc/book.txt` file in the AsciiDoc distribution.
+
+Multi-part book::
+  The `./doc/book-multi.txt` file in the AsciiDoc distribution.

+Introduction
+------------
+{description}
+
+AsciiDoc is highly 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 the user.
+
+AsciiDoc is free software and is licenced under the terms of the 'GNU
+General Public License version 2' (GPLv2).
+
+TIP: The pages you are reading were written using AsciiDoc, to view
+the corresponding AsciiDoc source click on the *Page Source* menu item
+in the left hand margin.
+
+
+Overview and Examples
+---------------------
+You write an AsciiDoc document the same way you would write a
+normal text document, there are no markup tags or weird format
+notations. AsciiDoc files are designed to be viewed, edited and
+printed directly or translated to other presentation formats using
+the asciidoc(1) command.
+
+The asciidoc(1) command translates AsciiDoc files to HTML, XHTML and
+DocBook markups.  DocBook can be post-processed to presentation
+formats such as HTML, PDF, EPUB, DVI, LaTeX, roff, and Postscript
+using readily available Open Source tools.
+
+Example Articles
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- This XHTML version of the
+  link:asciidoc.css-embedded.html[AsciiDoc User Guide]
+  was generated by AsciiDoc from
+  link:asciidoc.txt[this AsciiDoc file].
+
+- Here's the link:asciidoc.html[same document] created by first
+  generating DocBook markup using AsciiDoc and then converting the
+  DocBook markup to HTML using 'DocBook XSL Stylesheets'.
+
+- The User Guide again, this time a
+  link:chunked/index.html[chunked version].
+
+- AsciiDoc generated this link:article-standalone.html[stand-alone
+  HTML file] containing embedded CSS, JavaScript and images from this
+  link:article.txt[AsciiDoc article template] with this command:
+
+  asciidoc -a data-uri -a icons -a toc -a max-width=55em article.txt
+
+- The same link:article.txt[AsciiDoc article template] generated
+  link:article-html5-toc2.html[this HTML 5] (the 'toc2' attribute puts
+  a table of contents in the left margin) from this command:
+
+  asciidoc -b html5 -a icons -a toc2 -a theme=flask article.txt
+
+- The same link:article.txt[AsciiDoc article template] produced
+  this link:article.html[HTML file] and this
+  link:article.pdf[PDF file] via DocBook markup generated by AsciiDoc.
+
+[[X7]]
+Example Books
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+AsciiDoc markup supports all the standard DocBook frontmatter and
+backmatter sections (dedication, preface, bibliography, glossary,
+index, colophon) plus footnotes and index entries.
+
+- This link:book.txt[AsciiDoc book] produced link:book.html[this HTML
+  file] using the 'DocBook XSL Stylesheets'.
+- The link:asciidoc.pdf[PDF formatted AsciiDoc User Guide] was
+  generated from asciidoc(1) DocBook output.
+- The link:asciidoc.epub[EPUB formatted AsciiDoc User Guide] was
+  generated using link:a2x.1.html[a2x].
+- This link:book.epub[EPUB formatted book skeleton] was generated
+  using link:a2x.1.html[a2x].
+- This link:book-multi.txt[multi-part AsciiDoc book] produced
+  link:book-multi.html[this HTML file] using the 'DocBook XSL
+  Stylesheets'.
+
+Example UNIX Man Pages
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+HTML formatted AsciiDoc man pages
+link:asciidoc.1.css-embedded.html[with stylesheets] and
+link:asciidoc.1.html[without stylesheets] were generated by AsciiDoc
+from link:asciidoc.1.txt[this file].
+
+This link:asciidoc.1[roff formatted  man page] was generated from
+asciidoc(1) DocBook output using `xsltproc(1)` and DocBook XSL
+Stylesheets.
+
+[[X8]]
+Example Slideshows
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The http://www.w3.org/Talks/Tools/Slidy2/[Slidy] backend generates
+HTML slideshows that can be viewed in any web browser.  What's nice is
+that you can create completely self contained slideshows including
+embedded images.
+
+- Here is the link:slidy.html[slidy backend documentation] slideshow
+  and here is it's link:slidy.txt[AsciiDoc source].
+- An link:slidy-example.html[example slidy slideshow] and the
+  link:slidy-example.txt[AsciiDoc source].
+
+Example Web Site
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The link:README-website.html[AsciiDoc website] is included in the
+AsciiDoc distribution (in `./examples/website/`) as an example website
+built using AsciiDoc.  See `./examples/website/README-website.txt`.
+
+More examples
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- See below: <<X6,'Documents written using AsciiDoc'>>.
+- Example link:newtables.html[Tables].
+
+
+eBook Publication
+-----------------
+The two most popular open eBook formats are
+http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB[EPUB] and PDF.
+The AsciiDoc link:a2x.1.html[a2x] toolchain wrapper makes it easy to
+link:publishing-ebooks-with-asciidoc.html[publish EPUB and PDF eBooks
+with AsciiDoc]. See also <<X7,example books>> and
+link:epub-notes.html[AsciiDoc EPUB Notes]).
+
+
+Blogpost weblog client
+----------------------
+http://srackham.wordpress.com/blogpost-readme/[blogpost] is a
+command-line weblog client for publishing AsciiDoc documents to
+http://wordpress.org/[WordPress] blog hosts. It creates and updates
+weblog posts and pages directly from AsciiDoc source documents.
+
+
+Source code highlighter
+-----------------------
+AsciiDoc includes a link:source-highlight-filter.html[source code
+highlighter filter] that uses
+http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/[GNU source-highlight] to
+highlight HTML outputs. You also have the option of using the
+http://pygments.org/[Pygments] highlighter.
+
+
+[[X3]]
+Mathematical Formulae
+---------------------
+You can include mathematical formulae in AsciiDoc XHTML documents using
+link:asciimathml.html[ASCIIMathML] or link:latexmathml.html[LaTeXMathML]
+notation.
+
+The link:latex-filter.html[AsciiDoc LaTeX filter] translates LaTeX
+source to a PNG image that is automatically inserted into the AsciiDoc
+output documents.
+
+AsciiDoc also has 'latexmath' macros for DocBook outputs -- they are
+documented in link:latexmath.pdf[this PDF file] and can be used in
+AsciiDoc documents processed by `dblatex(1)`.
+
+
+Editor Support
+--------------
+- An AsciiDoc syntax highlighter for the Vim text editor is included in the
+  AsciiDoc distribution (see 'Appendix F' of the 'AsciiDoc User Guide' for

+DocBook 5.0 Backend
+-------------------
+Shlomi Fish has begun work on a DocBook 5.0 `docbook50.conf` backend
+configuration file, you can find it
+http://bitbucket.org/shlomif/asciidoc[here]. See also:
+http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/4386c7cc053d51a9

+LaTeX Backend
+-------------
+An experimental LaTeX backend was written for AsciiDoc in 2006 by
+Benjamin Klum.  Benjamin did a superhuman job (I admit it, I didn't
+think this was doable due to AsciiDoc's SGML/XML bias).  Owning to to
+other commitments, Benjamin was unable to maintain this backend.
+Here's link:latex-backend.html[Benjamin's original documentation].
+Incompatibilities introduced after AsciiDoc 8.2.7 broke the LaTeX
+backend.
+
+In 2009 Geoff Eddy stepped up and updated the LaTeX backend, thanks to
+Geoff's efforts it now works with AsciiDoc 8.4.3. Geoff's updated
+`latex.conf` file shipped with AsciiDoc version 8.4.4. The backend
+still has limitations and remains experimental (see
+link:latex-bugs.html[Geoff's notes]).
+
+It's probably also worth pointing out that LaTeX output can be
+generated by passing AsciiDoc generated DocBook through `dblatex(1)`.

+
+Patches and bug reports
+-----------------------
+Patches and bug reports are are encouraged, but please try to follow
+these guidelines:
+
+- Post bug reports and patches to the
+  http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc[asciidoc discussion list],
+  this keeps things transparent and gives everyone a chance to
+  comment.
+- The email subject line should be a specific and concise topic
+  summary. Commonly accepted subject line prefixes such as '[ANN]',
+  '[PATCH]' and '[SOLVED]' are good.
+
+=== Bug reports
+- When reporting problems please illustrate the problem with the
+  smallest possible example that replicates the issue (and please test
+  your example before posting). This technique will also help to
+  eliminate red herrings prior to posting.
+- Paste the commands that you executed along with any relevant
+  outputs.
+- Include the version of AsciiDoc and the platform you're running it
+  on.
+- If you can program please consider writing a patch to fix the
+  problem.
+
+=== Patches
+- Keep patches small and atomic (one issue per patch) -- no patch
+  bombs.
+- If possible test your patch against the current trunk.
+- If your patch adds or modifies functionality include a short example
+  that illustrates the changes.
+- Send patches in `diff -u` format, inline inside the mail message is
+  usually best; if it is a very long patch then send it as an
+  attachment.
+- Include documentation updates if you're up to it; otherwise insert
+  'TODO' comments at relevant places in the documentation.
+
