How can i integrate backends or How can i create a new backend for Asciidoctorjs?

This is essentially a duplicate of #5, if we are talking about a backend based on templates.

It is possible today to implement a Ruby-based backend and cross compile it with Opal. Here's an example of a Ruby-based backend (something I do still need to formally document).

Note that a lot of that file is just the implementation. Mostly focus on the methods defined and the DSL used.

I'm adding the documentation label to this issue since, at the very least, this needs to be documented.

Thanks @mojavelinux . Unfortunately, i dont know Ruby enough yet. But, im thinking to try it.

If you can code in Java or JavaScript, you can code in Ruby. It's probably one of the easiest languages to understand I've ever seen. It took me a weekend to know enough to make working code when I first picked it up.

@mojavelinux Speaking of documentation, I'm wondering if I should use the GitHub wiki, stick with the "user manual" page (where all topics are mixed) or use http://asciidoctor.org/docs/ ?

Awesome work!
