--- language: asciidoc contributors: - ["Ryan Mavilia", "http://unoriginality.rocks/:] filename: asciidoc.md --- AsciiDoc is a markup language similar to Markdown and it can be used for anything from books to blogs. Created in 2002 by Stuart Rackham the language is simple but it allows for a great amount of customization. Document Header Headers are optional and can't contain blank lines. It must be offset from content by at least one blank line. Title Only ```asciidoc = Document Title First sentence of document. ``` Title and Author ```asciidoc = Document Title First Last <first.last@learnxinyminutes.com> Start of this document. ``` Multiple Authors ```asciidoc = Document Title John Doe <john@go.com>; Jane Doe<jane@yo.com>; Black Beard <beardy@pirate.com> Start of a doc with multiple authors. ``` Revision Line (requires an author line) ```asciidoc = Doc Title V1 Potato Man <chip@crunchy.com> v1.0, 2016-01-13 This article about chips is going to be fun. ``` Section Titles ```asciidoc = Level 0 (may only be used in document's header) == Level 1 <h2> === Level 2 <h3> ==== Level 3 <h4> ===== Level 4 <h5> ====== Level 5 <h6> ======= Level 6 <h7> ```
