This is the optional preamble (an untitled section body). Useful for writing simple sectionless documents consisting only of a preamble.

Abstract

The optional abstract (one or more paragraphs) goes here.

This document is an AsciiDoc article skeleton containing briefly annotated element placeholders plus a couple of example index entries and footnotes. The preface, appendix, bibliography, glossary and index section titles are significant (specialsections).

## 1. The First Section

Article sections start at level 1 and can be nested up to four levels deep. [1]

And now for something completely different: monkeys, lions and tigers (Bengal and Siberian) using the alternative syntax index entries. Note that multi-entry terms generate separate index entries.

Here are a couple of image examples: an example inline image followed by an example block image:

Figure 1. Tiger block image

Followed by an example table:

Table 1. An example table

Option | Description
--- | ---
-a USER GROUP | Add USER to GROUP.
-R GROUP | Disables access to GROUP.

Sub-section at level 2.

#### 1.1.1. A Nested Sub-section
