I think asciidoc is a lowest common denominator, reasonable for many use
cases, 80/20 rule compliant substitute for LaTeX with the massive benefit
that the source document is usable as text documentation as-is where LaTeX
source is absolutely NOT readable as stand-alone documentation by anyone
other than the author.

I would use an asciidoc(tor) plugin or a recipe for using asciidoc(tor)
from within fossil. I already have a lot of documentation in asciidoc
format.
