[windup-dev] Fwd: Re: GitHub problem rendering AsciiDoc lists

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

GitHub uses Asciidoctor to render their asciidoc files.

One major point of AsciiDoctor is that it allows you to customize your
rendering. If we want custom CSS, we should not use Github Wiki directly,
and instead use something like Redoculous, which is what the Forge website
uses to render its docs and display them in its own CSS:

http://redoculous-lincolnbaxter.rhcloud.com/api/v1/preview?repo=https://github.com/windup/windup.wiki.git&path=/Rules:%20Rules%20Development%20Guide.asciidoc&ref=master

(looks like I need to fix a bug in some of the link handling, but you
should get the idea. It lets you embed docs directly from github into a
webapp: http://forge.jboss.org/document/develop-an-addon )

I'd recommend opening an issue in the Asciidoctor repo about this. Once changes are made there, we should be able to pull them into GitHub.
