        Deprecated.
        Use convertFile(File, Options) instead.
        Parse the AsciiDoc source input into an Document Document and convert it to the specified backend format.

        Accepts input as File.

        If the :in_place option is true, and the input is a File, the output is written to a file adjacent to the input file, having an extension that corresponds to the backend format. Otherwise, if the :to_file option is specified, the file is written to that file. If :to_file is not an absolute path, it is resolved relative to :to_dir, if given, otherwise the Document#base_dir. If the target directory does not exist, it will not be created unless the :mkdirs option is set to true. If the file cannot be written because the target directory does not exist, or because it falls outside of the Document#base_dir in safe mode, an IOError is raised.

        Parameters:
        file - an input Asciidoctor file.
        options - a Map of options to control processing (default: {}).
        Returns:
        returns nothing if the rendered output String is written to a file.
