Can't install about asciidoctor-pdf HOT 14 CLOSED

Asciidoctor PDF 1.5.0.alpha.1 is now released. Would you be willing to give it a try?

Here are the steps:

$ gem install asciidoctor-pdf --pre
$ asciidoctor-pdf sample.adoc

You can also load it using the asciidoctor command directly:

$ asciidoctor -b pdf -r asciidoctor-pdf sample.adoc

In fact, all the asciidoctor-pdf command does is eliminate the need to set the -b and -r arguments.

from asciidoctor-pdf.

I'm having a related problem. I followed the instructions in the readme (cloned the repo and bundle install) but the command ruby bin/asciidoctor-pdf only works if I'm in the folder where I cloned the git repo. Is there something I need to copy somewhere else ? I'm running Mac OS X. asciidoctor is located in /.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/bin/asciidoctor and so is asciidoctor-pdf. But when I try and run it it tells me:

/Users/xxx/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.2/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:298:in `to_specs': 
Could not find 'asciidoctor-pdf' (>= 0) among 50 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError)
    from ~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.2/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:309:in `to_spec'
    from /Users/xxx/.rvm/rubies/ruby2.1.2/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_gem.rb:53:in `gem'
    from /Users/xxx/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/bin/asciidoctor-pdf:22:in `<main>'
    from /Users/xxx/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in `eval'
    from /Users/xxx/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in `<main>'

What else should I be doing?

from asciidoctor-pdf.

There's a good chance the instructions for setup are out of date. I'll run through them and validate the instructions. Thanks for pointing this out!

from asciidoctor-pdf.

See if the new instructions in the README are sufficient. I was making a bad recommendation about the use of Bundler, and thus was seeing the same problem. I can now verify it works for me.

from asciidoctor-pdf.

If you can confirm, I'll close this.

Keep in mind, I don't claim Asciidoctor PDF works without errors. But now, at least, you should at least be able to get it running ;)

Correction, if you can confirm, please close this.

Will check this evening.

A few observations

-- it works!
-- output looks great and page breaks are pretty good
---- however, is it possible to add hints on page-breaking?
------ eg., as in LaTeX, \goodbreak says that this would be
a good place to break the page (it is just a hint, not a command, which
also exists: \vfill\eject or some such.)

-- could there be an option to change font-size and margins?
---- font size for [verse] is too large -- it should be the same as the body text.
---- also, re verse, I think it wold be best not to have the gray vertical
bar to the left of the poem. It's distracting if you have many poems,
eg a book of them. I don't see the bar the html rendition of the ad source.

-- code looks great but at least in my tests is not syntax-colored. I will look
into this this evening.

-- toc works (is clickable!), but on one long doc with a very long toc, the toc overran
the main text

-- Internal links written as <> render but are not clickable.

-- math does not render ... it passes through as, e.g.,

\(f = xy^2 + xy + y^3 + 1\) and let \[ g_1 = y^2 + 1, \\ g_2 = xy + 1 \]

-- image includes work, video doesn't, haven't tested audio

-- includes function properly.

-- eventually need to have asciidoctor-pdf installed in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
or some such. On my machine, I have /usr/bin/asciidoctor (v 1.5).

This is a huge step forward! Kudos!!

@jxxcarlson This is great feedback! Eventually we'll need to break these out into issue so we can address each one in turn.

The following are already filed as issues or possible:

• toc overrun (see #35)
• math (see #45, reported by you :))
• quote and verse styling (#40)
• font size and colors can be changed using a custom theme

For the rest, if you would be willing to file issues, I would be most grateful.

Together, we're going to make this thing awesome!

from asciidoctor-pdf.

Btw, once we're sure all the issues are reported, only then should we close this issue.

from asciidoctor-pdf.

Will do. Am on plane Idaho now.

@jxxcarlson @mojavelinux As we're prepping for Alpha 9 I was doing a little issue gardening - have all the issues/observations reported above been parsed out into their own issues yet? And if so, you know what you can do with this one 😀

from asciidoctor-pdf.

I'm pretty sure we've captured all the feedback. If something slipped through, just file a new issue and we'll take care of it!
