Frank,
The chances are, Marked is piping the source document as a string to
asciidoc (so it reads from STDIN). In this mode, the asciidoc command will
only attempt to resolve include files from the current working directory of
the asciidoc command.
There are a few ways to solve this problem.
Option A ::
You can switch the current working directory to the directory of your
document using a shell script (or commandline chain) that wraps the
asciidoc command. You would need some way for Marked to pass the directory
of the document so the script knows where it needs to switch.
Option B ::
You can set the absolute include directory as an attribute in your AsciiDoc
document, then prefix all include paths with this attribute.
For example:
+
[source,asciidoc]
----
= Document Title
:includedir: /path/to/document/
include::{includedir}myfile.txt[]
----
+
Of course, you can override the includedir attribute from the commandline
when you process the document in a different context. Consider the setting
in the document as the fallback.
Option C ::
You can use Asciidoctor, which allows you to set the base directory from
the commandline. I'm not sure how to get the document directory from
Marked, so let's just assume for now that you have to hard code it. You
would add the following option: `-B /path/to/documents`
+
Asciidoctor has the benefit that it's about 40x as fast as AsciiDoc. For
instance, the 17,000 line (3,750 blocks) Enterprise Web Book from O'Reilly
renders to HTML5 in 0.85 seconds on my laptop :)
Good luck!
