@nielsk Think of the Family Guy meme to remember it. Markdown is the weird one.
Easy Online Profiles with Asciidoctor
Want an online presence, but you don't want to build a website, or blog, or self-host? With really basic terminal dabbling and asciidoctor you can quickly make a minimal, simple profile where you own your data.

It's a new hex5week, and #hexunixtime has a new feature. Give the `hexunixtime` function the name of a format for more info. EG:
> hexunixtime hex5month
069Bm
most significant digit: increments every ~4355 years (137438953472 seconds)
least significant digit: increments every ~24.3 days (2097152 seconds), odd hex values only
0xFF498 seconds until next increment

IntelliJ IDEA Integration for Playfair
As a developer, I work with the IntelliJ IDEA development environment, as do many other developers. I don't want to discuss its many advantages for developers here, but rather how to use Playfair with the AsciiDoc plugin.

I start to leverage the true potential of #codingassistants only now. So far, I crossposted my blog posts by first transforming them from #Asciidoc to #Markdown by hand. Feasible, but boring.
I have created a #ClaudeCode command and my life is so much better.
FYI: #asciidoc with #asciidoctor #bibtex stumbles upon slashes in bibtex #citation keys
it prints the citation key in the bibliography before the entry.
This happens with all the #IACR #eprint #cryptology paper citations generated on their site
Removing the slash from the citekey is a workaround
I've converted some random dev notes I had lying around from working on clojure-ts-mode, neocaml and asciidoc-mode to a blog post with some general advice for building #Emacs major modes powered by #TreeSitter https://batsov.com/articles/2026/02/27/building-emacs-major-modes-with-treesitter-lessons-learned/
I hope some of you will find it useful! I certainly wish someone had written such an article a year ago when I started to get more serious about playing with TreeSitter.
Over the past year I’ve been spending a lot of time building TreeSitter-powered major modes for Emacs – clojure-ts-mode (as co-maintainer), neocaml (from scratch), and asciidoc-mode (also from scratch). Between the three projects I’ve accumulated enough battle scars to write about the experience. This post distills the key lessons for anyone thinking about writing a TreeSitter-based major mode, or curious about what it’s actually like.
I've put together asciidoc-mode (https://github.com/bbatsov/asciidoc-mode) - a super lean major #Emacs mode for editing #AsciiDoc documents, powered by #TreeSitter
It's a lighter and simpler alternative to the more established adoc-mode (also maintained by yours truly), that has been sitting in the back of my mind for a while and became possible recently when a TS grammar for AsciiDoc was created.
I hope you'll find the new mode useful!
@sanityinc Can you help me get it in MELPA? (https://github.com/melpa/melpa/pull/9850)
**Stella & Finn (see above) is now available FOR FREE!**
For at least the following 24 months, you can read the whole story, in all its PDF or ePub glory, *without spending a penny.* *You are free to download and enjoy NOW*!
Or, if you want, set a voluntary payment, which I would appreciate very much and would help me a lot in making even better stuff for you all to enjoy, like, who knows... a new *drawing tablet* for upcoming comics! See my Ko-fi goal for more on that :) - https://ko-fi.com/wallabra
The context, before anyone asks, is that I'm about to enter a public office and I can't really engage in commercial activity, due to a strict anti-Conflict-of-Interest clause. To someone else, this might be a bit disheartening, but I never really wanted to see my art as a "job" in the first place anyway, so it's whatever :p

@david_chisnall I have only one minor criticism of GitHub's highlighting, and I don't know whether it is (or should be) fixable.
In cases such as the one pictured below, it's necessary to scroll/page down hugely to bring a tiny change into sight.
In other words, 'Show Diff' shows much, much more than the diff.
A wild guess: maybe specific to AsciiDoc in GitHub, or the FreeBSD Documentation Project's use of AsciiDoc in cases such as this.
