### Bug description

Quarto is a far bigger platform than R markdown. But, this is limited to only rendering markdown or its flavours with R or the like code sequences only.

Asciidoc is simpler and has only one flavour with distinct features for writings very good books, articles and what not?

Therefore, I request its developer's to incorporate rendering facilities for Asciidoc documents to be written in Asciidoc quarto.

First, I raised this issue at RStudio.com community forum. But, andresrcs (the Sustainer) suggested me to raise Quarto related issues at this forum.

So, I would like to clarify it further that Quarto does provide one format option of "Asciidoc". But, that feature, in fact converts the document written in Quarto Markdown (Pandoc Markdown) to Asciidoc format with asciidoc codes, which should be rendered elsewhere. And what I mean is that the input file of quarto document should contain asciidoc codes, which can be rendered by Quarto to an output file, not with asciidoc codes, but a file rendered into html, pdf or docx.

To be more clear, what I am expecting from Quarto is that we should be able to write the document, along with R scripts in RStudio in .asciidoc (or .adoc) codes, instead of Rmarkdown or Markdown, which could be rendered to html, pdf, docx or docbook.

Wishing all the best hopefully,

Dr. A.K Singh
