Open ADOC File

A file with the ADOC extension is an ASCII file.

In brief, these types of ADOC files are used to render a plain text file in an easy-to-read format, such as HTML or PDF.

ADOC is also known as ASCIIDOC and is a markup language for writing software documentation and notes, however it can also be used as a format for e-books or slide shows, among other uses.

Unlike other markup languages, ADOC files are really easy to use because they are just plain text files that can be easily read by any document editing software in their raw text form.

Files in ASCIIDOC format usually do not remain as ADOC extension type, but are first written in ASCIIDOC language and then compiled into HTML, PDF, or some other text-based format.

ADOC files have nothing to do with DDOC files or Microsoft Word DOC and DOCX formats, although their extensions are similar.

To open an ADOC file you can use any text editor.
