| bcotton | bkuhn: well i was, in fact, awake, but i was trying so hard not to be :-) | 09:16 |

| bcotton | this markdown-vs-asciidoc thread is well-timed. a colleague recently asked me about an article comparing sphinx to markdown and i was going to write a blog post about it. now i have even more to build from | 09:37 |

| bkuhn | bcotton: well, spinx just uses restructred text, no? | 10:10 |
| bkuhn | *sphinx | 10:10 |
| bcotton | yeah. it's a conversion engine for ReST basically | 10:11 |
| bcotton | iirc it has a few sphinxisms, but the docs are in ReST | 10:12 |
| bcotton | as you might expect from a python tool, it's very whitespace sensitive :-( | 10:12 |
| *** ishahnaz has joined #copyleft | 10:16 | |
| bkuhn | Yeah, and I think it's not well known outside of the Python community | 10:20 |
| bcotton | probably not. for me, it's the anti-goldilocks: too complicated to have the simplicity of markdown, not rich enough to have the power of docbook or asciidoc (or latex) | 10:21 |
| bcotton | but it's what we already have at work, so until we hire a tech writer, i have more important battles to fight with the devs :-) | 10:22 |
| bkuhn | bcotton: you really think asciidoc has a lot of power? If you can explain that on a mailing list post, I'd much appreciate | 10:33 |
| bcotton | i do. did you see my reply this morning? | 10:34 |
| bkuhn | no not yet. I'm as usual 24 hrs behind on email.:) | 10:37 |
| bcotton | okay, cool. i expanded on that a bit, but i can give a lengthier answer if it doesn't satiate you | 11:03 |

| bkuhn | bcotton: I want to make the decision via consensus, if you're sure about asciidoc that carries a lot of weight, I will probably study your email in detail on my flight on Thur | 11:12 |
| bcotton | bkuhn: i haven't used AsciiDoc, but from what i can tell from the documentation and using similar languages i think it's the right choice for us | 11:17 |
| bcotton | so weight that how you will | 11:17 |
