AsciiDoc rendering and syntax highlighting in Web IDE
Description
The Web IDE is great
It even previews Markdown files (although a side preview as per gitlab-ce#45701 would massively improve usability)
I'd be super keen to have rendering and syntax highlighting also for Asciidoc using Asciidoctor.js
There is already syntax highlighting when I click edit and I was surprised not to find it in the Web IDE (but sure, it's early days).
This has the advantage that end users can use Gitlab as a "one stop shop" for documentation purposes in Asciidoc. I use Gitlab for documentation development mainly so I CI build use Asciidoctor and I mainly have repos with Asciidoc files.
Installing Asciidoc locally can be onerous and difficult in a corporate environment (which might prefer web platforms and gives low permissions to end users). Gitlab is almost in a position to allow documentation writing without any local software, excellent version control and automatic deployment.
Obviously to make it a super awesome tool gitlab-ce#45701 also needs to be addressed for Asciidoc (and to provide a seamless experience gitlab-ce#10778 would win my
Proposal
Provide same capability set as with Markdown for Asciidoc.
- Syntax Highlighting
- Rendering/preview option
