[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello Jim, Thank you so much for your response. This is exactly what I am looking for. I have much experience using the LaTeX for my old Mathematics article, but I found that AsciiDoc should be easier to use, especially for documentation. Are the FreeBSD documents' source (in AsciiDoc format) available to download so that I can write corresponding translated sentences with the same template format? I want Persian readers to sense more FreeBSD document structure. Thank you again for your time.
