Hi, Gour,

This is a fortuitous posting. I was considering starting a topic like this.

While I know the latex backend is experimental, I also know my needs are 
simple and I thought I might not push it past its limits.  Lately I gave it 
a try.

So two things ...

1) 

To answer the thread's question first -- I got the same error.  You see, 
the manual says somewhere that asciidoc will try to load in all the filters 
it finds in the filter directory.  That includes the source-filter (or 
whatever it's called, see below) filter.  But there's something wrong with 
it, so even if you aren't using source-highlight-filtering, you get an 
error.

My favorite theories about it are: You might have to install the 
source-highlight package to get it to work.  OR .... the name of the source 
hilight filter may have changed recently, and the asciidoc referencing 
hasn't caught up yet.

Anyway ... WORKAROUND ... The way to turn the thing off is to create a file 
named 

    __noautoload__

in the folder with the filter's config file.  I found mine in the filters 
folder, which is in the asciidoc or .asciidoc folder in the machine's 
\user\(username)\AppData\Roaming  (or in the Documents and 
Settings\(username)\ ) section , since I'm on windows.

That keeps the filter from trying to load, and asciidoc and the latex 
backend can proceed.

2)

But then there's my question.  

...... I used this on the 8.6.7 distribution's doc\asciidoc.txt file.  

...... Did everyone else that tried this get the same thing, that all
...... the tables ran off the right hand side of the pdf's page?

(I am planning to examine the latex source that was generated for the 
tables, but I ran out of time.)
