It seems that the ability to use raw roff codes in asciidoc.conf was eliminated by docbook-xsl 1.72.0 _and later_. Unlike the 1.72.0-specific XSLT problem, this behavior was not reverted in later releases. This patch aims to make it clear that the affected asciidoc attribute (flag) can be reasonably used with docbook-xsl versions other than 1.72.0. Also, document which make variables should be set for various versions of asciidoc and docbook-xsl. Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0. Signed-off-by: Chris Johnsen <chris_johnsen@xxxxxxxxx> --- This has no behavior changes for existing uses (make DOCBOOK_XSL_172=Yes), but it enables new functionality (ASCIIDOC_NO_ROFF=Yes) by divorcing the roff-avoiding parts of asciidoc.conf from the label docbook-xsl-172. I like the idea of including "tested with asciidoc/docbook-xsl version info" in the commit message. It would have been very helpful if all the previous commits to the core documentation generation infrastructure carried such information. --- Documentation/Makefile | 29 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- Documentation/asciidoc.conf | 8 ++++---- 2 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/Makefile b/Documentation/Makefile index e1562e3..d71760b 100644 --- a/Documentation/Makefile +++ b/Documentation/Makefile @@ -59,12 +59,39 @@ endif -include ../config.mak.autogen -include ../config.mak +# +# For asciidoc ... +# -7.1.2, no extra settings are needed. +# 8.0-, set ASCIIDOC8. +# + +# +# For docbook-xsl ... +# -1.68.1, set ASCIIDOC_NO_ROFF?
