Yuck.  That's broken.

asciidoc cheat sheet here: https://powerman.name/doc/asciidoc

Generic info is applicable.  There are two things slightly unusual about
our deployment:

(1) I make heavy use of the macro feature to parametrize various names,
    including our hosting info and the names of binaries.  Look at
    docs/asciidoc.conf

(2) I wrote a custom CSS file to emulate the Millsian look & feel in the
    generated web pages.  This doesn't affect composition, just rendering.
