Just like [for markdown](./pages.md), the `SUMMARY.adoc`'s format is simply a list of links, the name of the link is used as the chapter's name, and the target is a path to that chapter's file. + +Subchapters are defined simply by adding a nested list to a parent chapter. + +```asciidoc += Summary + +. link:chapter-1/README.adoc[Chapter 1] +.. link:chapter-1/ARTICLE1.adoc[Article 1] +.. link:chapter-1/ARTICLE2.adoc[Article 2] +... link:chapter-1/ARTICLE-1-2-1.adoc[Article 1.2.1] +. link:chapter-2/README.adoc[Chapter 2] +. link:chapter-3/README.adoc[Chapter 3] +. link:chapter-4/README.adoc[Chapter 4] +..
