Integrating with Google Tag Manager

Wanted to integrate a Google Tag Manager snippet with my asciidoctor generated output. As per the GTM docs, their snippet should be placed right after the <body> tag in the html but I cannot figure out how to get that to happen. Placing it at the top of the file gives me an error "only book doctypes can contain level 0 sections".

Any hints?

Thanks in advance

Ashok,

Integrations such as these are best done using either the docinfo feature or a custom document template. You'd pass metadata, such as a list of tag names, using one or more AsciiDoc attributes.

This section explains how to use the docinfo feature: http://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#docinfo-file

To create a custom document template, create a new folder, copy one of the html5 document templates (e.g. document.html.haml) from https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-backends to that folder and specify the folder when invoking the asciidoctor command:

$ asciidoctor -T my-templates file.adoc

But I'd try the docinfo approach first.

Another option is to create a custom extension (DocinfoProcessor or Postprocessor). We do something similar for Google Analytics. See https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-extensions-lab/blob/master/lib/google-analytics-postprocessor.rb

Cheers,

-Dan

Dan,

Thanks for your response. I'd already tried the docinfo method but that put the snippet in the <head> section, not the <body>. I'll try your other suggestions.

It seems odd that the snippet goes in the body, but maybe I'm misunderstanding what the snippet is. Is it content?

Another option is a pass block, though it's usually best to avoid those. Postprocessor might be your best choice.

Yes, it's odd. I think it's because along with the javascript, the GTM snipprt also has an iframe for non-javascript-enabled browsers. There is a blog on the rationale for putting it at the top of the body but I can't find the link now.

That makes sense.
