The Article Title

The optional abstract (one or more paragraphs) goes here.

This document is an AsciiDoc article skeleton containing briefly annotated element placeholders plus a couple of example index entries and footnotes. The preface, appendix, bibliography, glossary and index section titles are significant (specialsections).

Followed by an example table:

Sub-section at level 2.

Sub-section at level 3.

Sub-section at level 4.

Article sections are at level 1 and can contain sub-sections nested up to four deep.

An example link to anchor at start of the first sub-section.

AsciiDoc article appendices are just just article sections with specialsection titles.

Appendix sub-section at level 2.

The bibliography list is an example of an AsciiDoc SimpleList, the AsciiDoc source list items are bulleted with a + character.

Glossaries are optional. Glossaries entries are an example of AsciiDoc VariableList entries, the AsciiDoc source entry terms are terminated by the ":-" characters.
