Although I am not named above, I will note that a quick examination of the 
asciidoc pages fails to turn up a readily-available OS X (as in “Here is the 
dmg. Download it and install it like other Mac apps.”) version of the program. 
I’ve been down the Fink/Homebrew/MacPorts rabbit hole before (most notably with 
GnuCash itself), and I can honestly say that I will not be using asciidoc for 
creating or managing documentation. My life is too short for that.
