Clarify which Gems to Use

jnorthr
Am under the impression i need two ruby gems to generate asciidoctor results: 1) asciidoctor and 2)asciidoctor-pdf

is there a newer single gem that can generate both htm5 and pdf backends ? or do i still need a different gem for pdf output ?
thx

You are correct that you need two gems to generate both HTML5 and PDF. There are many possible paths to get to PDF, so it's appropriate that we make it an extension to avoid having a monolithic library.

You should be able to install both gems at once simply by install asciidoctor-pdf.

(Keep in mind that AsciidoctorJ bundles Asciidoctor PDF in the AsciidoctorJ distribution. Using Asciidoctor PDF from AsciidoctorJ is just a matter of using the asciidoctorj-pdf jar file).

Cheers,
