Hi Bill, I've run into a couple snags as well. On 14.04, the repo version of Asciidoctor is v1.4.1. The gem version is v1.5.3.
* First snag 1.4.1 does not generate the manpages, where 1.5.3 does, but 1.5.3 does does not like the multiple manpage spawning. e.g. 3 or 4 manpages from one. Asciidoc handled that no problem. I didn't see this at first as I installed via the gem method initially while following their install instructions. * Second snag v1.4.1 does not support LaTeX math ( :stem: latexmath ) or even asciimath. Reading the their release notes, that looks to have been added at the 1.5.x version time frame. Ubuntu 14.04 and 15.04 have v1.4.1 in the repo package Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.05 have 1.5.3 * To install the gem, for resting: sudo apt-get remove asciidoctor sudo gem install asciidoctor exec $SHELL -l The last command just refreshes the shell, closing / re-opening would do the same thing. I think it's worth the change as well, but, it may be wise to hold off the formal switch until after the v1.6.0 release, unless of course, the repo version in Ubunto gets updated to v1.5, or I can use the Wily packport some how. Everything seems to be working OK on Windows, that's because the Gem version installed was v1.5.3 right out the gate. 73's Greg, KI7MT On 11/10/2015 05:13 AM, Bill Somerville wrote: > On 08/11/2015 19:18, Greg Beam wrote: >> you use the same name to build man pages >> also ( asciidoctor -b manpage 12345.1.txt ). > Hi Greg, > > I am doing the necessary changes to use asciidoctor with WSJT-X.
