Greetings AsciiDocumenters, One feature of the Markdown syntax that greatly help the readability of the source document is the hyperlink with named target. I'm not sure if it's possible to do those with AsciiDoc; let met explain what it's all about.
URLs tend to be very long and includes plenty of ugly cryptic characters. With Markdown, it's possible to put an URL right next to its label, just like with AsciiDoc but the other way around. It is also possible to make the label reference a named or numbers link that is given later on, typically after the paragraph or at the end of the section. That way, the paragraph is mostly flowing prose and long URLs appear alone on a single line. Here is an example: There are many light weight markup languages out there. One of then it [Markdown][1]. It is popular in web application where is enables users to do basic formating without giving them the full power of HTML, which could lead to security problems. An alternative is [AsciiDoc][2], a markup just as readable but with a lot more bangs and whistles; AsciiDoc offers the full semantic power of DocBook without the ugliness of XML.

Is there a way to do the same with AsciiDoc? -- Yannick Gingras _______________________________________________ asciidoc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.metaperl.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asciidoc-discuss
