HTML and AsciiDoc: what actually changes

HTML is the markup of the web, with structure and styling separated. AsciiDoc is a heavier-duty plain-text markup aimed at technical books and manuals.

The conversion runs through pandoc and LibreOffice, which parse the HTML into a document tree and write it back out as AsciiDoc rather than doing anything textual or approximate. The AsciiDoc you get back keeps admonitions, includes and cross-references, and gives up toolchain-specific extensions. Heavily designed, multi-column pages are where every converter struggles, so give those a look afterwards.

How it goes3 steps

  1. Add your HTML files
    Drop them onto the box above or click Select File. Add as many .html files as you like — the whole batch converts in one go, and duplicates are ignored.
  2. Confirm AsciiDoc as the output
    AsciiDoc is already selected as the target format on this page. Tweak the options if you need something other than a straight AsciiDoc file.
  3. Download your AsciiDoc
    Hit Convert and grab the finished AsciiDoc files individually or as a single ZIP. Everything is deleted from the server once you have them.
