I know asciidoc from red and erlang, it's a nice language. Not sure why it is not as popular as markdown.


There aren't many parser libraries for languages other than ruby. Its Ruby implementation, Asciidoctor, is considered as the reference implementation. However, it's being standardized and the situation will hopefully improve.


It's a little more complex, but I like it too. I've worked in teams that put all in-repo documentation in Asciidoc, it was really nice for adding in diagrams of complex systems and dependency trees.
