Hi,

I'm the one writing most of the asciidoc support in eclipse.

A few things:

My *primary* goal for this was to get a decent editor and okey preview in Eclipse.

Anything beyond that is secondary.

For that I do not think there is any problem - at least so far I have not found anything in asciidoc that can't be handled.

Asciidoc is actually very regular and afaics fully block based.

Very little nesting if anything.

Thus not sure why you are concerned about regular expression based parser? (which btw. can be fully changed if a language want to - the "common ground" is the DocumentBuilders)

...with all that said:

wikitext has both ant and maven tasks and I actually think we can get pretty close to full asciidoc support. At least on based on my current findings.

Btw. nice feature of wikitext is that it has support for converting to its other wiki formats - so it also works like a basic  
converter.

If you can point out which part of asciidoc you don't think can be handled in wikitext I would be glad to know ;)
