Well, I do not expect that AsciiDoc should deal with it, just to have appropriate FAQ entry. At the moment there are 61 entries in FAQ, and more than 50% of them are 'how to questions', many of them dealing with presentation topics, so I'm sure my remark can be solved by single FAQ entry. > We've tried to make the basic use of the FOP and dblatex toolchains > easy by including the a2x toolchain wrapper which may contribute the > incorrect impression that the AsciiDoc project is an end-to-end > document generation system. a2x is an add-on and is not an integral > part of AsciiDoc. > > I hope this helps clarify things.
