But doesn't asciidoc use docbook to generate the html?

I use

  a2x -f xhtml --copy infile.txt

for this. Or should I do it differently?

Ah, yes. With fop, I get the author, too. But I get some warnings:

WARNUNG: background-color="inherit" on fo:block, but no explicit value found on 
the parent FO.
WARNUNG: background-color="inherit" on fo:block, but no explicit value found on 
the parent FO.
WARNUNG: Font 'Symbol,normal,700' not found. Substituting with 
'Symbol,normal,400'.
WARNUNG: Font 'ZapfDingbats,normal,700' not found. Substituting with 
'ZapfDingbats,normal,400'.

and the layout is completely different. I guess there are some customizations 
possible?
