Sobre os arquivos MDComparativo de vantagens
ADOC Vantagens
- Expressiveness of DocBook in plain text.
- Cross-references, tables, bibliographies, math, and metadata native.
- Multi-output: HTML, PDF, EPUB, man pages, DocBook XML.
- Faster parsing than LaTeX, richer than Markdown.
- Eclipse Foundation stewardship.
MD Vantagens
- Readable as plain text even before rendering — fits in version control beautifully.
- Dead-simple: 90% of needs covered in 10 minutes of learning.
- Converts trivially to HTML, PDF, EPUB, and DOCX via Pandoc.
- Every modern IDE, note-taking app, and developer tool renders it natively.
- Lightweight — a typical Markdown file is kilobytes, not megabytes.
Limitações
ADOC Limitações
- Steeper learning curve than Markdown.
- Smaller ecosystem than Markdown despite being more capable.
- Most CI tools default to Markdown, not AsciiDoc.
- Authoring WYSIWYG tools are limited.
MD Limitações
- No formal authoritative spec — CommonMark, GFM, and MultiMarkdown differ on edge cases.
- Tables and complex layouts are clunky; footnotes and math require extensions.
- Links to images stay external — no embedded media unless you base64-inline.
- Styling is limited to what HTML allows — custom branding requires CSS outside Markdown.
