Asciidoc is a text-based document format.
I tried the AsciiDoctor editor , but it requires installing Ruby and typing gem install asciidoctor, which scares away potential writers, especially the ones who use Windows.
Is there an extremely-easily installable Asciidoc editor for Windows?
Requirements:
Hands down, the best for me is for now AsciidocFX : http://asciidocfx.com/
One package to install gives you an asciidoc editor with live preview, a toolbar with selected snippets, and a complete toolchain to produce the html, ebook or pdf files.
Atom Editor for Windows now has an easy installer. https://atom.io/
I think Atom Editor is the best AsciiDoc editor for Windows.
Add these two packages:
language-asciidoc for Syntax highlighting for AsciiDoc https://atom.io/packages/language-asciidoc If you save your files with the .adoc extention, this package will automatically highlight. If you prefer .txt extention, you can click "plain text" in lower-right-hand status bar and select AsciiDoc from the drop-down to get highlighting in a .txt file.
asciidoc-preview To show an HTML preview for the AsciiDoc content
Usage: Packages > AsciiDoc > Toggle Preview (Shift-Ctrl-A)
I also use the View > Toggle Soft Wrap to keep the text from being too wide
SynWrite is almost it: it's not shipped with Asciidoc lexer, of course (because Asciidoc format is not popular), but it's with lexer library dialog, in which you can copy Markdown lexer to "Asciidoc", and then edit this lexer copy for Asciidoc format.
If install chocalatey is not a problem for you, you can try Atom editor and the asciidoc-preview extension.

There is also Brackets editor with also a asciidoc-preview.
