Hello fellow doc writers,
There's a new gradle plugin that may come in handy when working with Asciidoctor:
https://github.com/aalmiray/livereload-gradle-pluginIt basically wraps livereload-jvm with a tiny gradle task. It's said that good things come in small packages, and that's true for this particular plugin, as it's aware of the existence of the asciidoctor plugin. The livereload plugin will automatically pick up the outputDir of the asciidoctor task as the docRoot to use. This works only for the default AsciidoctorTask added by the asciidoctor plugin itself; any custom AsciidoctorTask will be ignored. so basically, if you're using asciidoctor + livereload with default settings you can immediately get down to business with no extra config.
And don't worry about livereload and asciidoctor having a tight integration, you may use livereload with other plugins without having to install asciidoctor (but why wouldn't you, amiright? ;-) In the future this plugin may support jbake and other rendering plugins.
Feedback is always welcome.
Cheers,
Andres
