I've used AsciiDoc and AsciiDoctor for two large O'Reilly Cookbooks which I proof locally in PDF. Their publishing sofware puts it through some arcane toolchain which formats to their house style &c, and generateds PDF, EPub, HTML, etc. But all the editing work is done, like Steve's, in vi and asciidoctor. I've also used adoc for magazine articles where the publisher "needs" the file in MS-Word format. For that I use pandoc (on another box) to convert adoc into docx.
