nigel_nbdoctormo, pleia2: found an awesome resource http://andrewk.webfactional.com/asciidoc.php21:19
nigel_nbtype anything in asciidoc, see the output immediately, easier to catch errors :)21:19
doctormonigel_nb: Not really, we want to encourage people to only save sources, not compiled documents.21:19
nigel_nbtrue21:19
nigel_nbbut if something goes wrong or u want to experiment with some formatting, thats the place21:19
doctormonigel_nb: I was talking about pdfs and presentations.21:30
nigel_nbdoctormo: oh sorry, I thought u were commenting on the link21:30
nigel_nbdoctormo: but what is intended to into resources and presentation?21:30

nigel_nbdoctormo: thoughts on ^^22:00
pleia2nigel_nb: I'm hoping that ones exist already (I don't want to have to write one)22:00
nigel_nbpleia2: hang on, I'll push what I've written on, I'm not inclined to push a course for asciidoc, there's nothing to teach :(22:01
