Asciidoc version: asciidoc-8.6.8-3.fc20.noarch
See attached.
I tried to define a conditional attribute, {td},
that would expand as a period ('.') when using the PDF backend.
My purpose for doing this was to add a '.' after
a <block title>, because the generated HTML had them,
but the generated PDF (dblatex backend) did not.
The file, sciidoc-backend-conditional.png, shows the expected output.
The only difference between the two files is the
placement of the definition of {td}.
It seems that this definition of {td} which is conditional
on the backend did not set {td} if that definition is in
the document header. Moving it into the beginning of
a section did work, however.
- Why didn't it work in the document header?
- Is there a better way to handle this?
thanks,
- Gary
