Hey Vlad, slightly related and just in case you are not aware of this feature yet: You can include (parts of) actual source code files straight into AsciiDoc documents. We do that in the HV reference guide, e.g. at [1]. That way you are 100% sure your examples actually compile (and pass tests) and you don't need to copy & paste them.
