Hi!

For use with uWiki[1], we folks of Lumiera[2] (mainly cehteh and me) are 
trying to fix the LaTeX backend right now, i.e. latex.conf, not the dblatex via 
a2x. As a first goal, we tried to fix the broken [listingblock]. Some 
interesting findings on how AsciiDoc handles newlines/blank lines along the 
way. Some of these might be bugs, so I will elaborate on this in a separate 
message.

It looks like we succeeded with this first step! We have a solution for 
[listingblock] that actually works(TM). The question now: how to send the 
changes back upstream? I created a local brach 'latex' off r808, where I fixed 
the listingblock and some small errors with escaping and adding some stub 
[XYZ] (what's their technical name? Blocks? Environments?) definitions to make 
the conversion AsciiDoc -> .tex run to the end again (but still with some loss 
of markup/content on the way like before). I could either push that branch 
upstream (for others to follow that might be interested in joining our efforts, 
hint hint) or send small patches here. What's your say on how we should 
proceed?

Ah yes, some rumblings on how to fix tables (the next big task on the agenda) 
and more is in the Lumiera issue tracker[3]. Any ideas would be greatly 
appreciated!

That's all for now.
