## 1. Abstract

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).

## 2. The First Section

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

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: Tiger block image

Followed by an example table:

Table: An example table
Option | Description
--- | ---
