DocGist Example

DocGist is a tool that renders AsciiDoc documents fetched from GitHub gists or other sources. The rendering is performed in the browser using the asciidoctor.js library. The original use case for this was http://gist.neo4j.org/ which has additional features to create examples for the Neo4j graph database.

How To Use

  • Create/locate a gist on GitHub (or use a file in Dropbox).

    • Write text using AsciiDoc syntax in it.

    • Save it.

  • Enter the URL (or id) of the gist in the form on top of this page and hit Enter on your keyboard.

  • The page is rendered.

  • Share the URL with others so they can read the page.

Tips and tricks

Links to other DocGists can use this syntax: DocGist intro which renders as DocGist intro. This makes things easier in case you run DocGist locally to fiddle with the ``backend'' (it’s a frontend really).

You can view the source Gist of this page by clicking on the green button in the navbar.

Note that inline images are not supported yet. (There’s a bugfix for that, it will propagate here in some time.)
