The question is.. what should the command be to generate a the sample PDF file from that sample AsciiDoc template? If you take the sample article text file and run asciidoc article.txt it produces the HTML just fine. If you run the following it produces a "book" format, not the nice article format linked in the example:
a2x --doctype-article -f pdf article.txt Should I be using a different command? Or is there some option (i.e. maybe --asciidoc-opts) that I need to make it look like the example article PDF?
