Command line usage quick start for Asciidoctor
This file is included in the install-toolchain and user-manual documents
////
Asciidoctor's command line interface (CLI) is a drop-in replacement for the `asciidoc.py` command from the Python implementation.
If the Asciidoctor gem installed successfully, the `asciidoctor` command line interface (CLI) will be available on your PATH.
To confirm that Asciidoctor is available, execute:
$ asciidoctor --version
The following information should be output in your terminal:
Asciidoctor 1.5.6.2 [https://asciidoctor.org]
To invoke Asciidoctor from the CLI and convert an `.adoc` file, execute:
$ asciidoctor <asciidoc_file>
This will use the built-in defaults for options and create a new file in the same directory as the input file, with the same base name, but with the `.html` extension.
There are many other options available, listed in <<cli-options>>.
Full help is provided in the {uri-man}[man page] or via:
$ asciidoctor --help
There is also an `asciidoctor-safe` command, which turns on safe mode by default, preventing access to files outside the parent directory of the source file.
This mode is very similar to the safe mode of `asciidoc.py`.
