One of Ondra's complaints is the way lists seem to display an extra paragraph between the items. Take a look at the home page here: https://github.com/windup/windup/wiki

Note that the list items are spaced far apart. I search for a solution, and the only thing I could find was mention of using

[options="compact"],

but it didn't seem to work.

Ondra, what other issues did you have.

The big advantages of asciidoc are:

* more comprehensive markup (e.g. tables, definition lists are supported as standard)
* generation of pdf and epub is part of the standard toolchain

Markdown is great for short docs, but I quickly ran in to the limitations when building more complex documents.

GitHub’s support for asciidoc wasn’t great to start with, but I think the fixed it more recently. Before you abandon it, point me at the problems, I can take a quick look.

I prefer asciidoc links as you just do link:http://redhat.com[Red Hat’s website]. I find this much easier to remember than the weird []() syntax in markdown.

I'll change everything back to Markdown later this week. Ondra, in the 
meantime, you can work in Markdown.

I personally leveraged Markdown because it worked.  Asciidoc a while ago did not.  I noticed when things moved to Asciidoc, the images in the docs broke.

Subject: Re: [windup-dev] Asciidoc - lists

For the record: I don't strongly prefer either, only that I only touched
few things in AsciiDoc, and:
  1) certain constructs are quite less readable -> editable in the
source text (e.g. links)
  2) the render results are not satisfactory - things like a bold text
in a lists are not properly implemented on whatever GitHub uses.

Hi all,

Ondra asked me about the advantages of AsciiDoc over Markdown. I
really don't know, but I do remember Pete saying AsciiDoc would be
better for the quickstart README files long ago. And I believe Drupal,
the new host for documentation, supports AsciiDoc.

TBH, I don't feel strongly about sticking with AsciiDoc. If no one can
come up with a good reason for sticking with it, I'm fine with going
back to Markdown if it's easier for everyone.

So, AsciiDoc advocates, please speak up now.

Thanks,
Sande

Hi Ondra,

You're asking me? ;-)

I'm totally new to asciidoc. I'll research it and see what I can find
out.

Thanks,
Sande

Hi Sande,

is there any way to prevent asciidoc put <p> to each <li>? Makes the
list tall and breaks the whole page layout.

Thanks,
Ondra
