I don't really mind, but:

1) is AsciiDoc really more flexible or does it only have "better
defaults"? I mean, as said in another mail, I tuned the ReST PDF output,
and even though there is some configuration possible, not everything can
be configured (e.g. adding a \newpage after the TOC). Switching to
something that have similar flaws don't seem sensible to me.

2) Geany uses ReST in general, so sticking to it might have advantages,
like users being used to it, etc.

...perhaps others, but I don't think of them now -- and I don't care so
much, I guess AsciiDoc is not hard to write.

Cheers,
Colomban
