alright, no need to be a smart arse, I wasn't aware of those tools.

#14Earlier quoted context omitted.
Also the fact that there are multiple (and good) client-side Markdown libraries while stuff like AsciiDoc generally requires server-side rendering (and the associated server load and round-trip penalties). Unless I'm missing it, there's no pure client-side AsciiDoc?
[1] seems to be an AsciiDoc render on client-side, though have no idea if it's any good though... [1]: http://asciidoctor.org/news/2013/05/21/asciidoctor-js-render...
Yeah, hard to say without a live demo. Also, downloading an entire Ruby interpreter in JS seems a little on the heavy side. If you were going to go that route, might as well use texlive.js and get a full-blown LaTeX system. :-)
Cool nonetheless.

#15Sorry guys I had to change the name because mdoc is already used by other programs. I changed it to `ditto`.

I assume you searched and discovered that ditto is also a BSD command for copying files, which is included on all Macs?[1]
This conflict may not be as confusing as the original name. I gather from the docs that you never invoke your version of ditto from the command line?

Yes, that comment was uncivil and broke the HN guidelines. It should have just neutrally pointed out the other tools.
This reply also breaks the guidelines. Please don't reply to incivility with incivility on HN. It's hard not to, but doing so only makes things worse.

... Atleast it doesn't clash with the established documentation system mdoc.
