ASciidoc Codemirror editor ?

Sorry in advance if the subject has already been discussed .

i went confidently to the codemirror website looking for the "asciidoctor mode" , and oh imagine my disappointment when i realized that there no implementation. when i see the tons of not even relavent syntax language that have already a mode in codemirror , it's just ( how to say it ....crazy !) not to have something for asciidoctor .

I have to say i'm not a developper so it's easy for me to say even if i occasionally do some python, groovy and bash automation as a sysadmin. what brought me to the codemirror website is that, even if i don't know anything about javascript , i was reviewing the Ghost ( blogging platform ) code to see what will it take to swap out markdown and integrate asccidoctor via asciidoctor.js , i was pretty happy with what i was discovering so far and wass learning javascript and nodejs and emberjs and typescript at the same time ... but for a newbie like me there too much obstacle now . Ghost in using codemirror markdown mode for live preview editor in the fontend ...

So sad right now because even if the asccidoc mode would exist the integration with ghost was going to be hard but now ...man it's just too much at list for me .

is there anyone working on this subject ? so just i know and stop dreaming about asciidoctorjs in Ghost ?

Thanks

@jamroks, don't fret just yet. As it turns out, the Brackets editor uses CodeMirror and Thomas Kern has done a ton of work to integrate Asciidoctor.js into that environment. Thomas discovered a port of the Ace AsciiDoc support to CodeMirror in the AsciiDocBox (then Livesciidoc) tool and used it as the basis for the integration in Brackets.

Long story short, here's the result:

https://github.com/asciidoctor/brackets-asciidoc-preview/blob/master/mode/asciidoc.js

Currently, the AsciiDoc mode for CodeMirror lives inside the Brackets extension repository, though we could consider breaking it out into it's own repository. You could talk to Thomas about that (just file an issue in the repository).

I hope that gives you some optimism!

Cheers,

-Dan
