       | Neat project, nice to see more investment in the AsciiDoc
       | ecosystem. I've shifted my focus to Typst, but I've long liked
       | AsciiDoc as an authoring format.

       | Also TIL about HTMLBook, which looks like a nice subset of HTML
       | for documents.

       | The above does not mean: "do not parser outside pandoc". There

       | It helps others to choose.

         | formats it supports."
