AsciiDoc Syntax Quick Reference
The examples on this page demonstrate the output produced by the built-in HTML converter. An AsciiDoc converter is expected to produce complementary output when generating other output formats, such as PDF, EPUB, and DocBook. |

Paragraphs don't require special markup in AsciiDoc.
A paragraph is defined by one or more consecutive lines of text.
Line breaks within a paragraph are not displayed.
Leave at least one empty line to begin a new paragraph.

An empty line is required before and after a list to separate it from other blocks.
You can force two adjacent lists apart by adding an empty attribute list (i.e., [] ) above the second list or by inserting an empty line followed by a line comment after the first list.
If you use a line comment, the convention is to use //- to provide a hint to other authors that it’s serving as a list divider.

Images
You can use the imagesdir attribute to avoid hard coding the common path to your images in every image macro.
The value of this attribute can be an absolute path, relative path, or base URL.
If the image target is a relative path, the attribute’s value is prepended (i.e., it’s resolved relative to the value of the imagesdir
attribute).
If the image target is a URL or absolute path, the attribute’s value is not prepended.

Two colons following the image keyword in the macro (i.e., image::
) indicates a block image (aka figure), whereas one colon following the image keyword (i.e., image:
) indicates an inline image.
(All macros follow this pattern).
You use an inline image when you need to place the image in a line of text.
Otherwise, you should prefer the block form.
