Comments and Reviews
Probably the best documentation writing format ever made. With a countless number of features out-of-the-box (with the greatest ones, like sections re-usage, source code inclusion, dynamic variables), Asciidoctor sets a new standard of how technical documentation should be written. The detailed story on this topic you can read in this article.
I'd like to use it, but just couldn't get it installed on Windows. So I decided to use VSCode's extension. The documentations about Asciidoc's syntax are easy to reference, though.
Asciidoctor provides the richness of DocBook or DITA with the conciseness of Markdown. It's like Markdown's more mature sibling. And it continues to evolve.
