ninenines/asciideck

Asciideck is an Erlang-based engine for processing AsciiDoc documents, featuring a rewritten modular parser that handles complex structures like tables and inline formatting. It provides conversion capabilities to HTML and man pages, including source code highlighting and configurable output options. The system also includes a compatibility script to interface with standard Asciidoc command-line workflows.

A new shell script at scripts/asciidoc has been added to provide an interface compatible with the Asciidoc command-line tool, allowing users to convert AsciiDoc files to HTML using the underlying asciideck engine. The script supports standard options such as specifying input files, output directories, and the --no-header-footer flag to control HTML structure, while currently ignoring other backend-specific options like --attribute or --theme.

Asciideck is updated to version 0.2.0 and now requires OTP 21 or later, removing support for older Erlang/OTP versions. The project's build system (erlang.mk) is updated to a newer commit, introducing support for building release updates (relup) and adding new Makefile targets to fetch and list dependencies. Additionally, the project now includes a CI workflow that tests against HiPE and ErLLVM, and runs groff validation checks against documentation generated by other projects using Asciideck.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The Asciideck application definition has been updated to version 0.2.0, reflecting a significant expansion in the set of compiled modules included in the release. The module list now includes new components for handling attributes, inline passes, source highlighting, stdin reading, and table processing, alongside the existing reader and transformation modules. Additionally, the application metadata now explicitly declares empty lists for optional applications and environment variables.

The core Asciidoc parser has been completely rewritten to use a modular pipeline of distinct passes (attributes, transformation, lists, tables, and inline) instead of the previous monolithic parser, enabling more robust handling of complex structures like labeled lists, tables with column specs, and inline formatting. This change introduces new capabilities for HTML output, including source code highlighting via the external \source-highlight\ tool, support for \mailto:\ links, and configurable header/footer options. Additionally, man page generation now supports passthrough blocks and configurable fields, while the system now requires OTP 21+ and removes deprecated Erlang functions.

src · high confidence

Added a new test suite \man\_SUITE\ to verify that man page generation correctly rejects documents missing a mandatory name section. Updated \parser\_SUITE\ to include new tests for strong and literal monospace text formatting, and adjusted existing title parsing tests to reflect the internal AST node change from \title\ to \section\_title\.
