AsciiLight

AsciiLight is a simple plugin for displaying a preview of AsciiDoctor documents. It uses the asciidoctor.js npm module for doing most of the hard work.

1. Installation

Install through the LightTable plugin manager.

2. Usage

With your .adoc file open, open the command bar in (ctrl+space/cmd+space) and select AsciiLight: Watch this editor for changes

4. Limitiations

Probably plenty, a few that springs to mind

• No source code highlighting (yet)

• Not really tested with any advanced AsciiDoc features

5. Credits

• Marco Polos' excellent lt-markdown plugin provided most of the inspiration for the plugin implementation

• AsciiDoc syntax highlighting is provided by a codemirror mode created by Thaddee Tyl in AsciiDocBox
