I'm pretty sure xmlto doesn't depend on dblatex and/or texlive. I'm building Git and Git's documentation on different Linux boxes with asciidoc, most of them don't have dblatex and/or texlive. In fact, I only have texlive installed in my laptop. I guess you're using Debian or one of its derived distribution? Debian puts dblatex as xmlto's rec. [2] I think you can use: apt install --no-install-recommends xmlto to avoid those recommendations.
Yes, I'm using Ubuntu (derived from Debian).
Hm, I'm pretty sure Ruby (asciidoctor's language) is very hard to port. Last I heard, it's buggy on some platforms. I think we're better to do like this: * If we're using asciidoc, we will use xmlto * If we're using asciidoctor, we will generate man-pages with asciidoctor directly
Nice for your suggestion. But will the resulting manpage from asciidoc+xmlto and from asciidoctor syntatically and semantically same? -- An old man doll... just what I always wanted! - Clara
