There have been a few suggestions to step away from asciidoc in this thread now. IMNSVHO the only switch which would actually make sense, would be towards the Wiki format. Why? Because right now, we have a _ton_ of documentation on the Gitwiki, and no easy way to import it back. We also have at least one document which is (semi-regularly) converted from ascii to Wiki markup. Wiki markup is relatively easy to read (a bit more disruptive that asciidoc), but granted, it is lacking features such as the conditional thing Junio mentioned. Ciao, Dscho
