Revise AsciiDoc entry on Wikipedia

[mojavelinux]

The AsciiDoc entry on Wikipedia doesn't do the technology justice. Revise the page, building on information that's been collected for asciidoctor.org, to make the entry more complete and accurate.

For the first round, the focus should be on getting to something respectable, not necessarily on length.

Keep in mind that the entry must be impartial, so Asciidoctor should only be cited as a recent implementation, not touted as better or even faster.

So what does "respectable" look like here?

To remain impartial, this is going to be a tricky one to get the tone right on. I'd suggest getting a gist going on this one.

Also, Wikipedia markup is a trip.

The first step is to look at the pages for other lightweight markup languages and determine what sections/topics those pages have that are missing from the AsciiDoc page.

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReStructuredText
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_(markup_language)

The article is currently labeled as a stub. Another objective is to move from stub to official status.

It might be nice to have a Wikipedia entry dedicated to Asciidoctor as well, but I'm not sure how difficult that is.

[mojavelinux]

There may have been an Asciidoctor user/community member who recently modified the AsciiDoc page, so it's not quite as bad as it used to be. I can't remember who that is though.

For reference, the page is being updated on a fairly regular basis.
