yes what I used is an alternative instead of the standard asciidoc
syntax file. the reason is this file provided more intensive highlight
for asciidoc, making it more convenience to find out errors when writing
asciidoc...

yes as I mentioned, that works, but the default(official) syntax is very
limited and is missing a lot of very useful asciidoc syntaxes.
