README

A lightweight PHP converter for the most common AsciiDoc blocks and inline markup. It is intended for applications that need predictable HTML output without a full AsciiDoc toolchain.

Requirements

  • PHP 8.0 or newer

Installation

composer require decent-newsroom/asciidoc-html

Usage

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$converter = new AsciiDocConverter();

$html = $converter->convert(<<<'ASCIIDOC'
= A short document

== Introduction

This is *bold*, this is _italic_, and this is `code`.
ASCIIDOC);

echo $html;

convert() returns an HTML string. Text, links, image URLs, captions, and other generated attributes are escaped before being written to the output.

Supported syntax

  • Document and section headings (=, ==, and so on)
  • Paragraphs, basic unordered and ordered list items, and horizontal rules
  • Bold, italic, monospace, superscript, subscript, and inline line breaks
  • Escaped inline delimiters such as \*literal\*
  • Links and images, including image width and alignment attributes
  • Audio blocks with optional captions
  • Quote and verse blocks with optional author and source attribution
  • Source blocks with optional language classes ([source,php])
  • Footnotes (footnote:[...], named footnotes, and footnoteref)
  • Explicit anchors ([[id]]) and cross-references (<<id,Text>>, xref:id[])
  • Literal blocks, sidebars, and NOTE/TIP/WARNING/IMPORTANT/CAUTION admonitions

This is a deliberately small converter, not a complete implementation of the AsciiDoc specification. Unsupported syntax is not guaranteed to produce the same output as Asciidoctor.
