Hi Paul, First regarding your comment about pandoc, essentially pandoc is a set of readers and writers. Each markup language needs a reader to convert from and a writer to convert to. Asciidoc is missing a reader implementation. I hope someone would implement it eventually.
Anyway I don't see a reason so far to use pandoc to publish to pdf. Asciidoctor can publish to html, docbook, pdf and others. I like pandoc, it is a swiss army knife kind of tool for conversion and written in haskell (fantastic). However like a swiss army knife, it is not specialized like a native tool designed for the job. So the time to use pandoc might be if we're stuck or have some limitation with asciidoctor.

It's curious AsciiDoc isn't there. So for HTML it's AsciiDoc -- (asciidoctor) --> HTML and for PDF it's AsciiDoc -- (asciidoctor) --> DocBook XML -- (pandoc) --> PDF That sound right?
