Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).

Thus, “Markdown” is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax; and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text formatting to HTML.

Asciidoctor

Asciidoctor is a fast text processor and publishing toolchain for converting AsciiDoc content to HTML5, DocBook 5 (or 4.5) and other formats.
- Asciidoctor provides much more advanced syntax than Markdown when you need it, but remains just as simple if all you are typing is a basic document. In other words, the extra features are there when you need them, saving you from having to migrate to a different system. It also provides very nice styling of the generated HTML right out of the box. Unlike Markdown, it can produce many more formats than just HTML. mojavelinux • Jul 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
