Did you use the docinfo method IAW the FAQ? Because of the format of author entries in docbook (ie containing firstname, othername, surname entries) the very_long_name_that_is_spaced_by_asciidoc technique won't work for docbook since asciidoc doesn't know where to break it, so only the docinfo works for docbook and since HTML doesn't understand docinfo only the very_long etc method works for HTML. Ain't standardisation wonderful, each has its own :-) Cheers Lex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "asciidoc" group.
