AsciiDoc is a lightweight markup language used for Technical Documentation.

AsciiDoc is used by documentation teams, developers, and open-source projects when plain-text source files need to support structured publishing. It is often relevant in docs-as-code workflows because the source can be stored in version control.

Writers use it when they need plain-text source files that support richer technical structures, tables, callouts, and publishing workflows than basic Markdown.
