Asciidoctor.js: AsciiDoc in JavaScript powered by Asciidoctor

Asciidoctor.js brings AsciiDoc to the JavaScript world!

This project uses Opal to transpile Asciidoctor, a modern implementation of AsciiDoc, from Ruby to JavaScript to produce asciidoctor.js. The asciidoctor.js script can be run on any JavaScript platform, including Node.js, GraalVM and, of course, a web browser.

Install

$ npm i asciidoctor --save

Usage

Here is a simple example that converts AsciiDoc to HTML5:

sample.js

import asciidoctor from 'asciidoctor'

const Asciidoctor = asciidoctor() // ①
const content = 'http://asciidoctor.org[*Asciidoctor*] ' +
  'running on https://opalrb.com[_Opal_] ' +
  'brings AsciiDoc to Node.js!'
const html = Asciidoctor.convert(content) // ②
console.log(html) // ③

1. Instantiate the Asciidoctor.js library
2. Convert AsciiDoc content to HTML5 using Asciidoctor.js
3. Print the HTML5 output to the console

Save the file as sample.js and run it using the node command:

$ node sample.js

You should see the following output in your terminal:

<div class="paragraph">
<p><a href="http://asciidoctor.org"><strong>Asciidoctor</strong></a> running on <a href="http://opalrb.com"><em>Opal</em></a> brings AsciiDoc to Node.js!</p>
</div>
