AsciiDoc is a text document format for writing notes, documentation,
articles, books, ebooks, slideshows, web pages, man pages and blogs.
AsciiDoc files can be translated to many formats including HTML, PDF,
EPUB, man page.

AsciiDoc.py is a legacy processor for this syntax, handling an older
rendition of AsciiDoc. As such, this will not properly handle the
[current AsciiDoc specification](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.asciidoc).
It is suggested that unless you specifically require the AsciiDoc.py
toolchain, you should find a processor that handles the modern AsciiDoc
syntax.

AsciiDoc.py 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.
