> AsciiDoc is a plain text markup language for writing technical content. It’s packed with semantic elements and equipped with features to modularize and reuse content.

Isn't that the opposite of Markdown?

It's basically a dsl to generate markdown.

People who propose replacing markdown with AsciiDoc completely miss the point of Markdown in my opinion.

Asciidoc is not in any way a dsl to generate markdown. Being far more expressive than markdown would obviously prevent that.
