As far as I'm aware, this is not meant to be CSS? Instead I adapted
it from an example I found distribuied as part of the AsciiDoc Debian
package.

It isn't any more. (:

After some trial and error I presumed that to be the case.

Okay, thank you for confirming this. Thanks to your comments I now
have a better understanding of how the [header] section should look.
However, I'm still a little confused about the contents of the
[docinfo] section. Perhaps now you have a better understanding of
what I am trying to achieve you are able to offer me an example?
Thanks again for your time,
Leslie
