Libasciidoc is an open source Go library to convert from Asciidoc to HTML.
It is is available under the terms of the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bytesparadise/libasciidoc/LICENSE[Apache License 2.0].
== Supported syntax
Although it does not support the full Asciidoc/Asciidoctor syntax, Libasciidoc already provides users with the following features:
* Title and Sections level 1 to 6
* Document authors and revision
* Attribute declaration and substitution
* Paragraphs and admonition paragraphs
* Delimited Blocks (fenced blocks, listing blocks, example blocks, comment blocks, quoted blocks, sidebar blocks, verse blocks)
* Literal blocks (paragraph starting with a space, with the `+++....+++` delimiter or with the `[literal]` attribute)
* Quoted text (bold, italic, monospace, superscript and subscript) and substitution prevention using the backslash (`\`) character
* Passtrough (wrapping with a single plus or a triple plus, or using the `+++pass:[]+++` or `+++pass:q[]+++` macros)
* External links in paragraphs (`https://`, `http://`, `ftp://`, `irc://`, `mailto:`)
* Inline images in paragraphs (`image:`)
* Image blocks (`image::`)
* Element attributes (`ID`, `link`, `title`, `role`, etc.)
* Labeled, ordered and unordered lists (with nested lists and attributes on items)
* Tables (basic support: header line and cells on multiple lines)
* Table of contents
* YAML front-matter
See also the link:LIMITATIONS.adoc[known limitations] page for differences between Asciidoc/Asciidoctor and Libasciidoc.
Further elements will be supported in the future. Feel free to open issues https://github.com/bytesparadise/libasciidoc/issues[here] to help prioritizing the upcoming work.
== Installation
$ go get -u github.com/bytesparadise/libasciidoc
$ make install
== Usage
=== Command Line
The libasciidoc library includes a minimalist command line interface to generate the HTML content from a given file:
```
$ libasciidoc -s content.adoc
```
use `libasciidoc --help` to check all available options.
=== Code integration
Libasciidoc provides 2 functions to convert an Asciidoc content into HTML:
1. Converting an `io.Reader` into an HTML document:
ConvertToHTML(r io.Reader, output io.Writer, config configuration.Configuration) (types.Metadata, error)
2. Converting a file (given its name) into an HTML document:
ConvertFileToHTML(output io.Writer, config configuration.Configuration) (types.Metadata, error)
where the returned `types.Metadata` object contains the document's title which is not part of the generated HTML `<body>` part, as well as the other attributes of the source document.
All options/settings are passed via the `config` parameter.
=== Macro definition
The user can define a macro by calling `renderer.WithMacroTemplate()` and passing return value to conversion functions.
`renderer.WithMacroTemplate()` defines a macro by the given name and associates the given template. The template is an implementation of `renderer.MacroTemplate` interface (ex. `text.Template`)
Libasciidoc calls `Execute()` method and passes `types.UserMacro` object to template when rendering.
An example the following:
```
var tmplStr = `<span>Example: {{.Value}}{{.Attributes.GetAsString "suffix"}}</span>`
var t = template.New("example")
var tmpl = template.Must(t.Parse(tmplStr))
output := &strings.Builder{}
content := strings.NewReader(`example::hello world[suffix=!!!!!]`)
libasciidoc.ConvertToHTML(context.Background(), content, output, renderer.WithMacroTemplate(tmpl.Name(), tmpl))
```
