<para><ulink
url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/asciidoc/">AsciiDoc</ulink> is a
GPLed formating system written in Python by Stuart Rackham that can
convert a plain text human readable/writable document format directly to
DocBook. Scot W. Stevenson <ulink
url="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:7121:200404:mjolkcjnjbginkhagjki">suggested</ulink>
that the LDP maintainers consider AsciiDoc for document submissions to
reduce the barrier involved in learning DocBook. Emma Jane Hogbin said
that this was a misconception that the LDP accepts only DocBook
submissions and Scot explained how he thought learning DocBook was
necessary if only at a later point of time. Gerg Ferguson <ulink
url="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:7130:200404:ifhbolfhjihbhnkaanhb">was
interested</ulink> in how good AsciiDoc was at doing container elements
and meta-data and that if it can do a good job like WikiText without
DocBook errors, the LDP would be open to such submissions. </para>
