I always liked the way asciidoc did titles by putting a line under them.
Nevertheless the '= title' way of doing it is incompatible with most

Would it be possible to allow both, so that asciidoc is compatible with
both ways of doing it ?
I'm not familiar with the trailing ='s syntax, is it a common Wiki
convention? It would be easy to make trailing ='s optional i.e. the
following would be equivalent:
== My Title
== My Title ==
Is this what you're suggesting?
Yes. MoinMoin apparently uses it and looking at the wikimatrix.org
website, you see others use that as well. (DokuWiki, Giki, IkeWiki,
JAMWiki, miniWiki, MoniWiki, OpenWikiNG, etc, etc...). There are more who
do the trailing = than not.
And since it's so easy to allow it...
OK, I've implemented this for the next release.
Frankly, I don't know what the rationale is for doing it like this.
I had a couple of requests for this (you either like it or hate it), the
actual syntax follows the Ruby RDoc documentation format.
That's fine. If you look at wikimatrix.org, it's scary how much different
syntaxes people invented for essentially the same thing :)
If the syntax would be replacable in wiki's and one could hook up asciidoc
in place of the internal parser. Now that would be useful.
