i wish _x_ in markdown wasn't interpreted as emphasis.

@trwnh (it's a bit sad that the answer to that seems to be “just use HTML” then 8-P)

@trwnh FWIW, personally I'm getting quite tired of Markdown limitations, and have been using AsciiDoc(tor) more whenever I can. Of course It has its own set of limitations, but for example it has this generic “span” markup that allows thematic customization (e.g. one can do [.strike]#x# and define a CSS class for strikethrough —could even be more semantic than HTML's <s>).

@trwnh (ah, and this is NOT a “you should be using AsciiDoc BTW” post, BTW 8-D)
-
@oblomov if asciidoc had anything like hugo's render hooks for markdown then maybe i would seriously consider it

@oblomov i should probably note one thing that might look weird at first glance -- i am choosing to render quotes as articles instead of as figures. normally to associate a blockquote's caption with the blockquote itself, you would use figure and figcaption. but figure has semantics of being able to take it out of the flow and put it anywhere else. this is not something i generally want, as i usually use quotes in-flow instead of out-of-flow

@oblomov also also: regarding the "span" markup you mention, there is a proposal for inline attrs for markdown via []{} which works similarly to the block attrs extension which uses {} at the end of a block
-
@trwnh wait shouldn't it be the other way around? It's up to Hugo to support asciidoc as a rendering engine? I don't use Hugo but last time I checked the docs while looking for an alternative to Ikiwiki I think I read it did support it? Or am I missing something?
-
@oblomov hugo does support asciidoc rendering via asciidoctor, but it's not as wildly configurable as markdown rendering via goldmark
-
@trwnh I've seen some of the samples later (sorry for forking the thread), and it seems most of that stuff you want to do is actually supported natively by AsciiDoctor, but I think I see your point. I'm not familiar with goldmark, but I'm getting the impression that it's something similar to what Jekyll with their {% %} escapes, except that this happens “during” rendering with a callback to Go or something like that? Yeah, I can see how that's a feature one wouldn't like to go without.
-
@oblomov yeah i *think* you can write custom renderers in ruby and then somehow configure asciidoctor to use those custom renderers? but hugo's render hooks abstract away a lot of that and let you write templated html directly instead of writing functions that produce strings which happen to be html
