Has anyone any recommendations for tools / styling for #ebooks? I'm looking at #asciidoc to #epub but I'm wondering what the "right" way to style the epub should be

#aeonglass #writersofmastodon #ebook #writing #writingcommunity

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.

#Clojure #OCaml #AsciiDoc

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)
