Talk:AsciiDoc

Separation of program implementation and the markup language itself

Although the program name is AsciiDoc, and presumably the reference implementation for transforming AsciiDoc, it would be good to separate the markup language from the programs that implement it. So something like a section describing what the language is, and another for the programs available to implement it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allgood38 (talk • contribs) 14:09, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Good idea. Be bold and do it! The example section does a half-decent job of explaining the language itself. The history section could use some improvement regarding history, but has information on two implementations. --RainerBlome (talk) 08:28, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

File extension?

Do asciidoc files usually have some specific file extension? Perhaps .asc or something like that, since some software (e.g. GitHub) seem to be able to identify asciidoc documents? —Kri (talk) 21:55, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

The AsciiDoc FAQ says says

"What is the preferred file name extension for AsciiDoc files? The .txt text file extension is preferred".

Most git documentation is written in AsciiDoc using a ".txt" extension.

On the other hand, many people recommend using ".asciidoc" or ".adoc" extension.; ;

What should we say in this article about the file extension? --DavidCary (talk) 20:33, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

What you have written here seems like a good start to me. :) —Kri (talk) 15:54, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
