Interesting indeed. Thanks Dag for pointing this out.

I've started to use asciidoc to produce technical reports and 
documentation, and missed a clean and easy PDF output.
Usual docbook chains are a little difficult to adjust and manual processing 
(e.g. copy-paste asciidoc-generated HTML to OpenOffice) is ugly and 
inefficient.

The real need is a solution that would bring together the benefits of:
* unattended asciidoc->whatever (DocBook, ODF)->PDF conversion
* easy tuning of appearance, style

It looks like asciidoc-odf provides the easy tuning by modifying a template 
document. I have to check if it fits all my needs.

Oh, by the way, people love "through" examples: a simple web page offering 
a source asciidoc, a sample template, a resulting ODF, a resulting PDF.
Many a time, people browse sites when they don't have access to a complete 
environment or time to experiment: they can not git clone, have right 
prerequisites, install the backend as documented, etc.
Having a "through" example with source and generated files confirms how it 
works and have user do "Aha", that's what I need!
That would probably bring more users and its share of feebdack.

Question : Can we set ODF document properties from asciidoc source using 
asciidoc-odf ? Some of my documents use them in page footers. In practice, 
exact footer text (and document subtitle) definitely needs to be different 
in different documents: it includes a kind of document ID currently fetched 
using an ODF document property.

Thanks.

Regards,
