Request for AsciiDoc support about readthedocs.org HOT 8 CLOSED

It basically just uses Sphinx, so if you want AsciiDoc support, it would need to be supported in Sphinx.

If it's supported in Sphinx, then it should be pretty do-able in RTD.

Ah, you're asking for us to be able to build and host AsciiDoc docs. I see, I'll keep this in mind. We're pretty sphinx focused at the moment, but it might be worth it at some point.

Thanks for the reply. In addition, I've been thinking hosting the epub files generated from Sphinx would be nice on readthedocs.

from readthedocs.org.

Totally. Does it make sense to display the epub's, or should they just be downloadable?

from readthedocs.org.

Perhaps a button to the right or left of the 'View Docs' button for 'Download'. The button could automatically expand to 'EPUB', 'PDF', 'HTML Compressed', etc to allow a user to download the documentation for offline browsing.

Similarly, when a user has drilled down into a project's document, there is a "Brought to you by Read the Docs". A button there with an option to download pdf/epub/etc would be slick, I think.

Do you have a good project that I could test ASCIIDoc building against? I'd like to try and add this as the first non-sphinx builder backend.

from readthedocs.org.

the git project uses a lot of asciidoc. http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=summary

As a design decision, we have chosen to invest heavily in Sphinx, and not support other backends. This would complicate a lot of things, and I want to have RTD act as a way to evangelize Sphinx. Having the code base support other backends would be easy, and is lightly documented here: http://read-the-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/builds.html#writing-your-own-builder

I would accept code into the code base to allow this, but the readthedocs.org instance of the code base will focus on Sphinx.
