In essence, I am looking for an editor that looks like Word or Wordpad, with similar features as AsciiDocFX. However, for those generations that grew up with Office and Word, any of the above options that will be a hard "sell". Yet it is nicer to use than chopping up the Eclipse IDE (Java again) to turn it into an AsciiDoc editor. As in: click on the preview and the edit section doesn't "follow" to the location where you clicked in the preview and vice versa. There is also Visual Studio Code that has an AsciiDoc extension, but it isn't nice to use, because the preview and the text are not "linked". Or someone like me who is (too?) familiar with wiki markup and editing. So it is workable for someone who is acquainted with that style of working. You could compare it to editing documents "under water" in Word Perfect, except with a vertical split, instead of a horizontal one. Furthermore, it is also Java based (which is not a favorite of mine) and has leaks RAM if you leave the application open too long. All my searches revealed two editors: AsciiDoctor and AsciiDocFXĪsciiDocFX looks reasonable and has some features that are good, but there are also many quirks. Google hasn't helped me much when looking for AsciiDoc editors. The receiver of this documentation is dead set on AsciiDoc and will not hear of anything else.įor Markdown there are quite a few editors that make the creation of Markdown documents a lot easier. In many ways it is similar to Markdown, yet it also isn't. AsciiDoc is a text based format and in essence even the the standard notepad in Windows is able to create AsciiDoc documents. For documentation purposes, I have suddenly a need for an AsciiDoc editor.
