Lex,

I wonder if you're a Kiwi? :P You do a lot for AsciiDoc, just like
Stuart. (Sorry if that's a little obscure).

On to the topic of the day - thankyou! In producing the ASCIIDOC in
which I am having trouble, I did indeed take an existing HTML document
and AsciiDoc-ify it. I am truly a beginner (and admirer) of AsciiDoc
so I am not surprised if I have some HTML markup left where it
shouldn't be. Once I had the document in AsiiDoc format I had been
running "asciidoc <file>" and admiring the output it produced. I
didn't realise that this might not reveal AsciiDoc markup errors.

I'll check and correct this markup and check the rest of the document,
then report the results here.
