Asciidoctor.js support

Feature request

What problem does this feature solve?

Support for other another popular writing format. Plus, the out-of-the-box search and multi-language vuepress offers (not offered in other static generators) would work wonders to document OS projects in asciidoc.

What does the proposed API look like?

How should this be implemented in your opinion?

I lack the knowledge. But I assume the current engine converts single md files one by one generating the target HTML. I don't it should be easy, but this could be replicated with https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor.js/ in a similar manner. I had a look at some vuepress features and:

• All the features provided by Markdown extension are supported out of the box by Asciidoctor, so users won't miss features.
• The search-box, afaik indexes titles (H1, H2,...), asciidoctor respects that.
• Additional Asciidoctor configurations defined in https://vuepress.vuejs.org/guide/markdown.html#advanced-configuration, could also be defined using a similar syntax in an asciidoctor block. Also, asciidoctor. The same native options structure could be used (https://asciidoctor-docs.netlify.com/asciidoctor.js/processor/convert-options/#usage) so that vuepress only passes it.
• Advanced features would need more work, but are doable.

Are you willing to work on this yourself?

I really cannot due to other commitments and lack of JS expertise, but I am curious to know if you think this could be an option.
