Documentation switched to AsciiDoc

[sidetone]

FreeBSD books and articles switched formats from DocBook to a lighterweight AsciiDoc. This was intended to make document contributions easier.

Manpages remained as mdoc.

(This was written about in the latest FreeBSD Journal)

First impression: it striked me as MoinMoin wiki (FreeBSD Wiki). I'm familiar with MoinMoin, so I like the new one better.

Thanks for the link. By the way, I still don't understand why they publish the journal in such manner, e.g. how to zoom? Also, scroll wheel is out of control!

… why they publish the journal in such manner,

There's also the PDF option.

…scroll wheel is out of control!

It seems OK for me.

If you find it oversensitive (scrolling more than one page at a time), you can use Right and Left keys instead.
