Doctoolchain - doc-as-code approach

Dear Asciidoctor community,

recently I found an implementation of the docs-as-code approach for software architecture using Asciidoctor.
The basis of docToolchain is the philosophy that software documentation should be treated in the same way as code together with the arc42 template for software architecture.

Some aspects and scripts are really useful in the daily work. Just have a look.

In addition, it show how to create further output formats like MS Word and it can export the docs to confluence.

Furthermore it show how to use scripting to include the export of diagrams from other tools (sparx, visio) in your automatic build and also how to include other sources like excel and powerpoint.

Here is an architectural overview:
