Rendering html from asciidoc with Clojure

Clojure-asciidoc.md

Motivation

For giggles :)

Steps

1. Add this to your dependency:

[org.asciidoctor/asciidoctorj "1.5.5"]

2. Minimal code snippet

(require '[clojure.java.io :as io])
(import 'org.asciidoctor.Asciidoctor)
(import 'org.asciidoctor.Asciidoctor$Factory)
(import 'java.util.HashMap)

(let [inst (Asciidoctor$Factory/create)
      src  (slurp (io/file "some-file.adoc"))]
  (.convert inst src (HashMap.)))

Remarks

• Note the '$' from Asciidoctor$Factory; that is an inner class that must be accessed with the ugly '$' character.

• There are many flavors of the .convert method. The one used here simply returns the rendered html as a string.
