Hi folks, I've run in to another couple of issues, this time with
conditional attribute references.
My situation is that I have a bunch of documents that I'm trying to
build with both asciidoc 8.6.6 (Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha) and with 8.5.2
(Ubuntu 10.04).
My first issue is this:
If I put a conditional attribute reference before the document title, it
gets evaluated properly with 8.5.2, but it does not get evaluated with
8.6.6. If I put it after the document title, it works fine with both.
Is this expected behavior? I've attached a small asciidoc source file
that demonstrates the behavior. I build with "asciidoc -v
early-conditional-attribute.txt" on both versions; with 8.5.2 all
attributes get the expected values, but with 8.6.6
{earlyconditionalattribute} expands to the empty string.
My second issue is this:
I guess there's something I don't understand about asciidoc regexes.
I've used regexes for about two decades with other tools (perl, python,
grep, sed, etc, etc), but it's not working as i expect in asciidoc.
I've attached another small asciidoc source file that confuses me. The
regex with ".*" at both the beginning and end of the regex fails to
match. All the other regexes match successfully. I feel like I'm on
crazy pills! Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your help folks!
