• AsciidocFX: The Asciidoc Editor for documentation and authoring

  AsciidocFX, is an open-source, cross-platform editor that provides an exceptional user experience and a comprehensive set of features for working with Asciidoc files. Though Asciidoctor provides these capabilities, not everyone will be comfortable enough to work in the commandline or shell setting that's where AsciidocFX comes to the rescue.

I did not try to deploy their whole multi-document setup called Antora ( https://antora.org/ ). - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ideas on improving internal technical documentation`

  I've been pushing for Antora everywhere I go. It allows you to keep text-based (AsciiDoc, similar to markdown but an actual standard) documentation with your repositories and from that build a central documentation portal site. Source: about 1 year ago

• I wish Asciidoc was more popular
