Here's one of my more-complex Markdown docs under Asciidoc. Hardly any difference.
I think we're overthinking this. Asciidoc is fine.

It's not fine, it's like wikitext without the grandfathering-in. If my entries will stop displaying correctly, I'll choose between incorrectly-displayed markdown or wikitext articles and maybe some dev will make them show up properly 100 years after I'm dead. I'm not helping apply new grandfathering-in to another bad standard
I don't get why you're so mad, it costs you literally nothing extra to write stuff in Asciidoc instead of Markdown. Just titles use "=" instead of "#" and bold is a single "*" instead of "**".
And external links are
https://whatever.whatever[name]
instead of
[name](https://whatever.whatever)
(The first is more readable).
I can't imagine how you think that's more readable. It's the same for a human or worse for a computer (forces the computer to be able to recognize the difference between every possible link next to something with brackets and everything else)
My articles would no longer force wikis to choose between excluding them, displaying them incorrectly, or supporting markdown. Cross-compatibility for my articles would then go to unfairly reward the bad choice to use asciidoc and punish the good choice to use markdown instead of the other way around. And I'm mad because first you people used shadowbans to delay me from joining nostr when I first tried about a year sooner than you would actually let me in, you presented nostr as a censorship-resistant protocol instead of a closed club prototype, and you announced wanting to use anglocentric asciidoc right around the same time you acknowledged a post of mine pointing out the anglocentric underlying code was one of the main issues with nostr wikis
On top of all this, the woman I love was definitely alive when I first tried to join nostr, and now I don't know if she is, and the main reason I need to be on the nostr wiki might be to make sure she's remembered, when if you people would have let me on nostr when I first tried to be here, maybe I could have been doing good work with knowledge of her being alive and maybe I could have gotten her to join nostr and she wouldn't have killed herself
Honestly, I can say all this in a much shorter way with "I'm angry because I don't know if the woman I love is alive, and if she's not, it's because all the other humans made her kill herself and stopped me from helping her"
No, my bad, that wouldn't capture the part about how even if I'm just trying to honor her memory I can't even do it in markdown like I used in the reddit comments she met me through
My point is that you can continue to write in Markdown.
The picture on the right only looks odd because the Asciidoc interpreter seems to have a bug with unordered lists. They should be identical.
