AsciiDoc
A human-readable plain-text markup format
AsciiDoc
is a human-readable text document format which uses plain-text mark-up convention semantically equivalent to DocBook XML.
Usage in PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL itself does not use AsciiDoc
for any paritucular purpose. However, beginning with PostgreSQL 9.5 (commit 9d9991c8), the psql command line output can optionally generate output in AsciiDoc
format. See the Examples section below.
Examples
Simple example of psql output in AsciiDoc
format:
postgres=# \pset format asciidoc Output format is asciidoc. postgres=# SELECT 1; [options="header",cols=">l",frame="none"] |==== ^l|?column? |1 |==== .... (1 row) ....
