asciidoctorJ: Table of figures/listings(code blocks)/tables/...

Hi,

we want to make it possible to generate necessary tables for different contents (figures/listings(code blocks)/tables/...).
It looks like writing a plugin for asciidoctorJ to match that goal is very difficult.

Perhaps someone can give us some useful hints.

We think about the following approach:
- First we want to scan the document to find the content which should be indexed.
- Then a description should be extracted and copied to a new File ( for example: tmpIndex.adoc) with the number of the page.
- The generated file should be included to the end of the document.

The problem would be, to find the specific content type in the source file and also get the corresponding page number of the final document.
Could this be done by one plugin or will be more plugins necessary?
Which kind of macroprocessor(tree-/ block-/...) should we use?


Cheers,
 Axel

Because of generating html-files and not pdf-files page numbers are obsolete.
Instead we could use anchors to make them linkable.

Is there any reason why you want to do this directly in asciidoctor? The docbook stylesheets can already do it, and are easy to customise if they are not exactly what you want.
Run asciidoctor with the docbook backend, then convert docbook to HTML or PDF as you want. (http://docbook.org/tdg5/index.html).
Installing the docbook toolchain can be  a pain, but there are several pre-packaged installers.
