This series is designed to implement the changes necessary to build Git using Asciidoctor instead of AsciiDoc.
The first two patches are bug fixes. Asciidoctor is stricter about title underline lengths (± 1 character instead of 2) and requires matching delimiter lengths[0]. They're needed regardless of whether the other two patches are accepted because git-scm.com uses Asciidoctor to render the documentation, so we might as well render it correctly. Even with these patches, Asciidoctor warns about everyday.txt and user-manual.txt. I'm not sending patches for these right now because I've seen recent series including those and don't want to cause a merge conflict. The second two patches implement some basic support for building with Asciidoctor. The first of these moves some items into variables due to some differences between the AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor command lines. The user can then override these values when invoking make. The final patch adds support for the linkgit macro. Asciidoctor uses Ruby extensions to implement macro support, unlike AsciiDoc, which uses a configuration file. In order to build the documentation successfully, the patches from [1] are required. The current version of Asciidoctor uses the wrong elements in some cases and is lacking elements in others when generating manpage (refentry) output in DocBook format. The need for these patches is also the reason I didn't implement a configuration macro for Asciidoctor, as almost nobody will be able to use it at the moment. With these patches and the ones for Asciidoctor, it's possible to build the documentation with the following command line: make doc ASCIIDOC=asciidoctor ASCIIDOC_DOCBOOK=docbook45 ASCIIDOC_HTML=html5 ASCIIDOC_CONF='-I. -rasciidoctor/extensions -rextensions' brian m. carlson (4): Documentation: adjust document title underlining Documentation: fix mismatched delimiters in git-imap-send Documentation: move some AsciiDoc parameters into variables Documentation: implement linkgit macro for Asciidoctor Documentation/Makefile | 18 +++++++++++------- Documentation/extensions.rb | 39 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Documentation/git-imap-send.txt | 4 ++-- Documentation/git-prune-packed.txt | 2 +- Documentation/git-quiltimport.txt | 2 +- Documentation/git-stage.txt | 2 +- 6 files changed, 55 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/extensions.rb [0] http://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-asciidoctor-diffs/ [1] https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/pull/1142 -- 2.1.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
