For a .adoc file to write documentation, it based on the asciidoctor syntax, is possible through GUI use either VSCode or AsciiDocFX to see a *preview*. Therefore the asciidoctor syntax is rendered/interpreted to be read it. For the terminal what software - if exists - would do the same job about to render/interpret the asciidoctor syntax to read it? I mean something like the execution of: * tutorial.adoc Consider as example: have a html file and use w3m to interpret and read it. Therefore I want practically the same behavior like man , read a documentation with a pretty format.

Does stock AsciiDoc provide macros to link a Unix manual page? I'm thinking of something like man:vim(1), equivalent to the command man 1 vim, similar to the standard URL and link: inline macros. If not, can AsciiDoc be taught to understand such links for example by configuring it?

I'm looking for a way to add AsciiDoc syntax highlighting to the Kate editor. I haven't found anything yet, but I feel sure some solution exists because AsciiDoc appears to be very popular (and is even used by O'Reilly publishing). There are AsciiDoc syntax highlighters for Vim, GEdit, Emacs, TextMate, Geany and others. Surely Kate has one...

I get the following two warnings/errors when building asciidoc : $./configure --prefix=/home/my_installations/ ./configure: line 1233: AC_PROG_SED: command not found checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile and then also with make: $ make Fixing CONF_DIR in asciidoc.py /bin/sh: line 2: @SED@: command not found Fixing CONF_DIR in a2x.py /bin/sh: line 2: @SED@: command not found This is with the latest stable versions of automake and autoconf on the moment of this writing: * automake 1.13 * autoconf 2.69 Any thoughts on what this means?
