# AsciiDoc
|
|
|
|
Since version `2.0.0`, GitBook can also accept AsciiDoc as an input format.
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the [AsciiDoc Syntax Quick Reference](http://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference/) for more informations about the format.
|
|
|
|
Just like for markdown, GitBook is using some special files to extract structures: `README.adoc`, `SUMMARY.adoc`, `LANGS.adoc` and `GLOSSARY.adoc`.
|
|
|
|
### README.adoc
|
|
|
|
This is the main entry of your book: the introduction. This file is **required**.
|
|
|
|
### SUMMARY.adoc
|
|
|
|
This file defines the list of chapters and subchapters. Just like in Markdown, the `SUMMARY.adoc`'s format is simply a list of links, the name of the link is used as the chapter's name, and the target is a path to that chapter's file.
|
|
|
|
Subchapters are defined simply by adding a nested list to a parent chapter.
|
|
|
|
```asciidoc
|
|
= Summary
|
|
|
|
. link:chapter-1/README.adoc[Chapter 1]
|
|
.. link:chapter-1/ARTICLE1.adoc[Article 1]
|
|
.. link:chapter-1/ARTICLE2.adoc[Article 2]
|
|
... link:chapter-1/ARTICLE-1-2-1.adoc[Article 1.2.1]
|
|
. link:chapter-2/README.adoc[Chapter 2]
|
|
. link:chapter-3/README.adoc[Chapter 3]
|
|
. link:chapter-4/README.adoc[Chapter 4]
|
|
.. Unfinished article
|
|
. Unfinished Chapter
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### LANGS.adoc
|
|
|
|
For [Multi-Languages](./languages.md) books, this file is used to define the different supported languages and translations.
|
|
|
|
This file is following the same syntax as the `SUMMARY.adoc`:
|
|
|
|
```asciidoc
|
|
= Languages
|
|
|
|
. link:en/[English]
|
|
. link:fr/[French]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### GLOSSARY.adoc
|
|
|
|
This file is used to define terms. [See the glossary section](./lexicon.md).
|
|
|
|
```asciidoc
|
|
= Glossary
|
|
|
|
== Magic
|
|
|
|
Sufficiently advanced technology, beyond the understanding of the
|
|
observer producing a sense of wonder.
|
|
|
|
== PHP
|
|
|
|
A popular web programming language, used by many large websites such
|
|
as Facebook. Rasmus Lerdorf originally created PHP in 1994 to power
|
|
his personal homepage (PHP originally stood for "Personal Home Page"
|
|
but now stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor"). ```
