ASCIIDoc, What is it, and why you should be using it.

Unscheduled
ICS file coming soon

If you’ve ever gotten frustrated with trying to create a complex MS Word document with multiple tables, diagrams, and images, this presentation will show you why you should consider using ASCIIDoc to perform these tasks in the future. I’ll demonstrate how Amentum uses ASCIIDoc, Kroki, Vega, and other tools to create multiple types of documents with a professional look and feel from the same source material, in a CI/CD friendly manner, and in a way that meshes well with Git and multiple authors. I'll also highlight open source toolkits that help you write ASCIIDoc documentation from LabVIEW, and how you might use them to help you document and understand your codebase.
