Lists

Literal Blocks

Literal blocks are escaped i.e. they are never interpreted by asciidoc

//this my cool list
* Unordered lists
 1. ordered lists
    a. another ordered list
        - with an unordered list
    b. ordered
 2. ordered
* unordered

Code Blocks

Example: Factorial and Digit Adding Program in Python
def fact(n):
    if n == 1:
        return 1
    else:
        return n * fact(n-1)

def sum(n):
    r = 0
    while(n != 0):
        r += n%10
        n /= 10
    return r

for i in xrange(1,50):
    n = fact(i)
    print n, sum(n)
Example: C Source is Similar
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    glutInit(&argc, argv);
    glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB);
    glutInitWindowSize(500, 500);
    glutInitWindowPosition(0,0);
    glutCreateWindow("simple");
    glutDisplayFunc(display);
    init( );
    glutMainLoop( );
}

Compiling

Note

There is more than on way of compiling this document

  • asciidoc template.txt - will compile the document to template.html

  • asciidoc template.txt -o template2.html - will compile to template2.html

  • asciidoc template.txt -a latexmath - will compile document with math support.

Mathematics

Important
These math formulas are lifted from Lisa's LaTeX document.

$\displaystyle\sum_{j =0}^{n-1} (j+1){2n-2 \choose j} + \displaystyle\sum_{j=n}^{2n-2}(2n-1-j){2n-2 \choose j} = 2 \left(\displaystyle\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}(j+1){2n-2 \choose j} \right) - n{2n-2 \choose n-1}$

or

$T(r, e+1) = T(r,e) - {{2(r-1)} \choose {e-1}} + {{2(r-1)} \choose {e-1 + r}}$

Simpler formulas can be inserted as well

$x^2 + y^2 = z^2$
