AsciiDoc
Text based document generation

Example Dedication

The optional dedication goes here.

This document is an AsciiDoc multi-part book skeleton containing briefly annotated element placeholders plus a couple of example index entries and footnotes. Books are normally used to generate DocBook markup and the preface, appendix, bibliography, glossary and index section titles are significant (specialsections).

Note Multi-part books differ from all other AsciiDoc document formats in that top level sections (dedication, preface, book parts, appendices, bibliography, glossary, index) must be level zero headings (not level one).

Example Preface

The optional book preface goes here at section level zero.

Preface Sub-section

Note Preface and appendix subsections start out of sequence at level 2 (level 1 is skipped). This only applies to multi-part book documents.

The First Part of the Book

Optional part introduction title

Optional part introduction goes here.

The First Chapter

Chapters can be grouped by preceding them with a level 0 Book Part title.

Book chapters are at level 1 and can contain sub-sections nested up to three deep.
[An example footnote.]

It’s also worth noting that a book part can have it’s own preface, bibliography, glossary and index. Chapters can have their own bibliography, glossary and index.

And now for something completely different: monkeys, lions and tigers (Bengal and Siberian) using the alternative syntax index entries. Note that multi-entry terms generate separate index entries.

Here are a couple of image examples: an images/smallnew.png example inline image followed by an example block image:

Followed by an example table:
