Description Marco Ciampa 2026-02-05 08:14:33 UTC 
Description:
I would like to see an asciidoc import/export filter alongside the already present markdown. Asciidoc, unlike markdown, is a real standard by the Eclipse Fundation, (see: https://www.eclipse.org/org/working-groups/asciidoc/charter/ & wikipedia)

Actual Results:
the function is missing

Expected Results:
the import/export options


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

UX-wise I'd expect auto detection and flawless copy/paste integration and an entry in the text import dialog. And for the export a new filter - md is currently available under SaveAs while I'd expect both to be under ExportAs.

Thorsten, would this fit into a GSoC project?

BTW if the markdown export is performed through a Python library, chances are that the same or similar library is able to export into asciidoc (that was first implemented in Python) as well without much effort... see:
