I have a couple of questions about extending asciidoc with new macros. I'm struggling a little with the configuration files. I've been generating some of my websites with Emacs Muse for a while, and was thinking of moving to asciidoc, as it's a bit easier to give to someone else that Emacs. I'd like to be able to build a macro all of the functionality for which is in asciidoc, but I can't work out how to do this. Take this page... http://homepages.cs.ncl.ac.uk/phillip.lord/teaching/modules-09/csc8309/reading_affy_chips.html Essentially, I have a single macro in this which generates the main figure. In asciidoc terms, the macro definition converts something like rinc::reading.r[] into [source,R] ---- include::reading_split.r[] ---- (link:reading.r[Complete File])(link:reading.r.Rout[Rout]) which is then further expanded into, HTML. Obviously I want to avoid typing in the variations of the same filename three times, as this is a recipe for disaster. Is this at all possible with asciidoc? I couldn't work out whether this sort of recursive definition is possible.
I can't think of a soution, did you get any further? Problem is that asciidoc is not a recursive descent compiler, it's basically just a glorified pattern match and replacer.
