An example project that demonstrates how to convert AsciiDoc to HTML5 using the Asciidoctor Gradle plugin with Live Reload support.
Convert the AsciiDoc to HTML5 by invoking the 'asciidoctor' goal:
$ ./gradlew asciidoctor
Open the file build/asciidoc/html/example-manual.html in your browser to see the generated HTML file.
The Gradle build also can support Live Reload
Start by running the build with Gradle 2.5+ continuous build feature.
$ ./gradlew -t asciidoctor
This ensures if you modify example-manual.adoc then everything is rebuilt.
Open another terminal and run the liveReload task:
$ ./gradlew liveReload
Now you can use the Chrome or Firefox plugins to automatically reload your browser when the build completes.

Important
|
After installing the Chrome LiveReload extension, you need to check the "Allow access to file URLs" checkbox in Tools > Extensions > LiveReload in order for it to work with local files. |
Now try editing example-manual.adoc and watching your browser. After a brief wait you will observe that the browser is automatically updated with your changes.
