We use AsciiDoc to create easier maintainable JavaDocs. The JDT JavaDocView and the HoverInfo gather their information from the source code and don't allow to customize the output. It would be more usable if it were possible to pass the extracted Javadoc or through a doclet which the user can configure or through a custom filter which could be added by using an extension point.

Right now our AsciiDoc-Formats are simply ignored. With either of these methods we would be able to enhance the output before it is rendered by the browser widget.
