Mimetype for Asciidoc

6 posts

I want to integrate the Asciidoc format to the Apache Tika project, which can be used in the JVM world to autodetect the file format from the extension or the content of the file.

Is there already an official (or used) mimetype for Asciidoc?
Should I use "text/x-asciidoc" for Asciidoc?

First, awesome!

Not that I know of.

I'm going to say yes based on recommendations from this StackOverflow post about a mimetype for Markdown:

Ok, thanks, I have added ticket TIKA-1123 in the Tika issue tracker for this.

I will use this mimetype in my Tika/Asciidoctor-project:

<mime-type type="text/x-asciidoc">
<_comment>Asciidoc source code</_comment>
<glob pattern="*.asciidoc"/>
<glob pattern="*.adoc"/>
<glob pattern="*.ad"/>
<glob pattern="*.ad.txt"/>
<glob pattern="*.adoc.txt"/>
<sub-class-of type="text/plain"/>
</mime-type>

According to this RfC 6648
http://www.rfc-editor.org/bcp/bcp178.txt

The `/etc/mime.types` entry should be:

     text/asciidoc                                  adoc asciidoc

There is an issue with the firefox plug-in. Once the new mime type enabled, the plugin does not render any more. Chrome and chromium do.

Sounds reasonable to me. I never understood why the x- prefix was used. Now I know the story and that it is being deprecated.

Cheers,
