+## Further Reading
+
+There are two tools to process AsciiDoc documents:
+
+1. [AsciiDoc](http://asciidoc.org/): original Python implementation available in the main Linux distributions. Stable and currently in maintenance mode.
+2. [Asciidoctor](http://asciidoctor.org/): alternative Ruby implementation, usable also from Java and JavaScript. Under active development, it aims to extend the AsciiDoc syntax with new features and output formats.
