Does AsciiDoc(tor) allow for extending the language?

Created by: dtu-compute

Looking at the styling options AsciiDoctor supports, it looks almost too good to be true.

• https://asciidoctor.org/docs/extensions/

Editor

https://codemirror.net/ supports AcciiDoc so that could be an option for editor.

https://github.com/asciidoctor/codemirror-asciidoc

Editor with previewer

• http://gist.asciidoctor.org/
• https://github.com/asciidoctor/docgist
• https://github.com/jichu4n/asciidoclive (https://asciidoclive.com/)

HubPress also has a similar editing environment. See https://github.com/HubPress/hubpress.io.

Live preview

I suppose this is the one to use https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor.js ?

Start here http://asciidoctor.org/docs/install-and-use-asciidoctorjs/

You'll need the opal.js and asciidoctor.js files and some CSS 
<script src="opal.js"></script>
<script src="asciidoctor.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="themes/asciidoctor.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/3.2.1/css/font-awesome.min.css" />

Then some JavaScript to render the Asciidoctor 
var asciidoctorAttributes = Opal.hash2(['attributes'], { 'attributes': ['icons=font@'] });  // by adding the @ symbol, attributes added in line in the asciidoc text takes precedence over this hard-coded attribute

var html_doc = Opal.Asciidoctor.$render(document.getElementById("txtAscii").value, asciidoctorAttributes);

document.getElementById('content').innerHTML = html_doc;
