ASCIIDOC(1)
===========
:doctype: manpage
NAME
----
asciidoc - converts an AsciiDoc text file to HTML or DocBook
SYNOPSIS
--------
*asciidoc* ['OPTIONS'] 'FILE'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The asciidoc(1) command translates the AsciiDoc text file 'FILE' to
DocBook or HTML. If 'FILE' is '-' then the standard input is used.
OPTIONS
-------
*-a, --attribute*='ATTRIBUTE'::
Define or delete document attribute. 'ATTRIBUTE' is formatted like
'NAME=VALUE'. Command-line attributes take precedence over
document and configuration file attributes. Alternate acceptable
forms are 'NAME' (the 'VALUE' defaults to an empty string);
'NAME!' (delete the 'NAME' attribute); 'NAME=VALUE@' (do not override
document or configuration file attributes). Values containing
spaces should be enclosed in double-quote characters. This option
may be specified more than once. A special attribute named
'trace' controls the output of diagnostic information.
*-b, --backend*='BACKEND'::
Backend output file format: 'docbook45', 'docbook5', 'xhtml11', 'html4',
'html5', 'slidy', 'wordpress' or 'latex' (the 'latex' backend is
experimental). You can also use the backend alias names 'html'
(aliased to 'xhtml11') or 'docbook' (aliased to 'docbook45').
Defaults to 'html'. The *--backend* option is also used to manage
backend plugins (see <<X1,*PLUGIN COMMANDS*>>).
*-f, --conf-file*='CONF_FILE'::
Use configuration file 'CONF_FILE'.Configuration files processed
in command-line order (after implicit configuration files). This
option may be specified more than once.
*--doctest*::
Run Python doctests in 'asciidoc' module.
*-d, --doctype*='DOCTYPE'::
Document type: 'article', 'manpage' or 'book'. The 'book' document
type is only supported by the 'docbook' backends. Default document
type is 'article'.
*-c, --dump-conf*::
Dump configuration to stdout.
*--filter*='FILTER'::
Specify the name of a filter to be loaded (used to load filters
that are not auto-loaded). This option may be specified more than
once. The *--filter* option is also used to manage filter plugins
(see <<X1,*PLUGIN COMMANDS*>>).
*-h, --help* ['TOPIC']::
Print help TOPIC. *--help* 'topics' will print a list of help
topics, *--help* 'syntax' summarizes AsciiDoc syntax,
*--help* 'manpage' prints the AsciiDoc manpage.
*-e, --no-conf*::
Exclude implicitly loaded configuration files except for those
named like the input file ('infile.conf' and
'infile-backend.conf').
*-s, --no-header-footer*::
Suppress document header and footer output.
*-o, --out-file*='OUT_FILE'::
Write output to file 'OUT_FILE'. Defaults to the base name of
input file with 'backend' extension. If the input is stdin then
the outfile defaults to stdout. If 'OUT_FILE' is '-' then the
standard output is used.
*-n, --section-numbers*::
Auto-number HTML article section titles. Synonym for
*--attribute numbered*.
*--safe*::
Enable safe mode. Safe mode is disabled by default. AsciiDoc
'safe mode' skips potentially dangerous scripted sections in
AsciiDoc source files.
*--theme*='THEME'::
Specify a theme name. Synonym for *--attribute theme*='THEME'.
The *--theme* option is also used to manage theme plugins (see
<<X1,*PLUGIN COMMANDS*>>).
*-v, --verbose*::
Verbosely print processing information and configuration file
checks to stderr.
*--version*::
Print program version number.
[[X1]]
PLUGIN COMMANDS
---------------
The asciidoc(1) *--filter*, *--backend* and *--theme* options are used
to install, remove and list AsciiDoc filter, backend and theme
plugins. Syntax:
asciidoc OPTION install ZIP_FILE [PLUGINS_DIR]
asciidoc OPTION remove PLUGIN_NAME [PLUGINS_DIR]
asciidoc OPTION list
asciidoc OPTION build ZIP_FILE PLUGIN_SOURCE
Where:
*OPTION*::
asciidoc(1) *--filter*, *--backend* or *--theme* option specifying
the type of plugin.
*PLUGIN_NAME*::
A unique plugin name containing only alphanumeric or underscore
characters.
*ZIP_FILE*::
A Zip file containing plugin resources, the name must start with the
plugin name e.g. `my_filter-1.0.zip` packages filter `my_filter`.
*PLUGINS_DIR*::
The directory containing installed plugins. Each plugin is contained
in its own separate subdirectory which has the same name as the
plugin.
*PLUGINS_DIR* defaults to the `$HOME/.asciidoc/filters` (for
filter plugins) or `$HOME/.asciidoc/backends` (for backend plugins) or
`$HOME/.asciidoc/themes` (for theme plugins).
*PLUGIN_SOURCE*::
The name of a directory containing the plugin source files or the
name of a single source file.
The plugin commands perform as follows:
*install*::
Create a subdirectory in *PLUGINS_DIR* with the same name as the
plugin then extract the *ZIP_FILE* into it.
*remove*::
Delete the *PLUGIN_NAME* plugin subdirectory and all its contents
from the *PLUGINS_DIR*.
*list*::
List the names and locations of all installed filter or theme
plugins (including standard plugins installed in the global
configuration directory).
*build*::
Create a plugin file named *ZIP_FILE* containing the files and
subdirectories specified by *PLUGIN_SOURCE*. File and directory
names starting with a period are skipped.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
---------------------
*`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`*::
If the `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` environment variable is set to a UNIX
timestamp, then the `{docdate}`, `{doctime}`, `{localdate}`, and
`{localtime}` attributes are computed in the UTC time zone, with any
timestamps newer than `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` replaced by
`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`. (This helps software using AsciiDoc to build
reproducibly.)
EXAMPLES
--------
`asciidoc asciidoc_file_name.txt`::
Simply generate an html file from the asciidoc_file_name.txt that is in
current directory using asciidoc.
`asciidoc -b html5 asciidoc_file_name.txt`::
Use the `-b` switch to use one of the proposed backend or another one you
installed on your computer.
`asciidoc -a data-uri -a icons -a toc -a max-width=55em article.txt`::
Use the `-a` switch to set attributes from command-line. AsciiDoc generated
its stand-alone HTML user guide containing embedded CSS, JavaScript and
images from the AsciiDoc article template with this command.
`asciidoc -b html5 -d manpage asciidoc.1.txt`::
Generating the asciidoc manpage using the html5 backend.
EXIT STATUS
-----------
*0*::
Success
*1*::
Failure (syntax or usage error; configuration error; document
processing failure; unexpected error).
