AsciidocFX For Mac

AsciidocFX is a book editing tool that can help you create or edit content to be published in PDF, MOBI, HTML, or EPUB books. The utility can also work with simple documents that use the same format, and provides real-time preview capabilities.

The AsciidocFX user interface is separated into multiple columns, so you can browse your disk drive, edit the document’s content, and preview the results in real time. Note that you can easily toggle their visibility to extend the working space.

The AsciidocFX built-in editor comes with fundamental text processing tools and also enables you to change the document type to one of the predefined formats. However, during our test we have noticed that AsciidocFX will stop updating the preview area once you switch the doctype.

AsciidocFX is able to work with the Asciidoc and Markdown formats, but can export the content to other file types, such as HTML, PDF, EPUB, MOBI, or XML. This makes it easier to publish your documents or books on various platforms, without having to perform any conversions.

AsciidocFX comes with a suite of built-in extensions that enable you to deal with UML components, ditaa diagrams, mathematical formulas, filesystem tree outputs, charts, and so on. Note that to make use of the UML functions, you need to have the Graphviz application installed on you Mac.

AsciidocFX also features an EPUB viewer, a table generator, can highlight source code elements, and integrates Reveal.js and Deck.js conversion tools. Keep in mind that the utility is Java based, but the download comes with the runtime integrated.

To conclude, AsciidocFX proposes a workspace where you can create books based on the Asciidoc and Markdown format while using various plug-ins to deal with diagrams, charts, mathematical expressions, and so on.

AsciidocFX runs on the Java platform, enables you to customize its layout to gain more editing space and can output the documents to various file formats, such as PDF, EPUB, MOBI, HTML, and so on.
