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

Thanks Max! I really appreciate your work and for helping to bring AsciiDoc into Eclipse.

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

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.

I actually think we can get pretty close to full asciidoc support. At least on based on my current findings.

That's great news!

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.

Such a powerful feature.

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

On a quick glance, here's what I see with the latest nightly (2.7.0.N20151015-1452)

* description lists aren't being processed (open issue #481670)

* listing block with [source,<language>] above it isn't being recognized (open issue #474084)

** it would be really cool if source highlighting worked inside the listing block

* indented paragraph is not being interpreted as a literal block

* not processing role on inline text like [path]_path/to/file_ (the [path] part)

* not processing list continuation (attach blocks to a list item)

* not processing admonition on a paragraph (paragraph that starts with NOTE:, TIP:, etc)

* preview is missing a nice stylesheet

I'd be happy to file issues if you prefer.

Perhaps we should add a link to it along with some instructions on the asciidoctor.org site so that we can get more people trying it out. https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor.org/issues/440
