The point of going for Asciidoc was to not have to bootstrap all this with 50 flavors of markdown.

I already have code block highlights in my renderer.

It's not that hard to have a satisfying standard for 80% of common use cases.

Beyond that I mostly need Communities to recommend apps that handle that standard well regarding their niche topic/goal.

Yeah, I don't see a future where we are AsciiDoc-only. Or any other format for that matter.

Different apps need different things. There is just no way around it.

That doesn't mean all apps must support everything though.

Each interoperable group of apps should pick the format that best suits them.

I don't disagree long term.

I'm just not bootstrapping long form with 50 standards.

Asciidoc does it all for me, for now.

From there its market demand that will lead the way.

Long form was already bootstrapped with Markdown on NIP-23
