asciidoc

Asciidoc has a number of configuration files under /etc/asciidoc and it’s easy to get lost in that directory.

Regarding pdf (dblatex) generation, here are some options you can set:

  • If you want to avoid the "PDF by dblatex" picture on the front page, edit /etc/asciidoc/dblatex/asciidoc-dblatex.xsl: 

<xsl:param name="doc.publisher.show">0</xsl:param>

  • If you want to avoid the "Revision History" page, add: 

<xsl:param name="latex.output.revhistory">0</xsl:param>

  • If you want to avoid the "Contents" page, add: 

<xsl:param name="doc.toc.show">0</xsl:param>

  • If you want to avoid the front page, sadly you can’t do it from a configuration file, but for now you can edit /usr/share/dblatex/latex/style/docbook.sty. Change the \maketitle macro to: 

\def\maketitle{
  \def\edhead{}
  \DBKdomitete
}
