Asciidoctor-pdf style overwrite possible?

Hi,

I am currently writing a presentation with asciidoctor-revealjs and
also like to generate a handout from this using asciidoctor-pdf.

I have some bash code passages that need to be executed in different
contexts, so I choose to add classes to those code passages like this:

[.greencode, source, bash]
----
include::source.sh[tag=some-tag]
----

And then use the customcss attribute to change the background color of
this code segment like this:

.greencode code {
background-color: darkgreen;
}

And that works great!

But how can I do something similar in the pdf output?

If I understand the documentation about the pdf styling correctly, then
its only possible to change the background of all code passages and not
just selectively. Is there a way around this or did I overlooked
something?

Thanks!
Claudius

Asciidoctor PDF was not designed for this level of customization. However, it's possible to monkeypatch the converter to alter the behavior. I'll explain how to do that.

First, create a patched version of the converter in the file mypdfconverter.rb:

require 'asciidoctor-pdf'

module MyPdfConverter
def convert_listing node
    code_background_color = @theme.code_background_color
    @theme.code_background_color = '00ff00' if node.has_role? 'green'
    super
    @theme.code_background_color = code_background_color
end
end

class Asciidoctor::Pdf::Converter
prepend MyPdfConverter
end

Next, load this file when invoking asciidoctor-pdf:

asciidoctor-pdf -r ./mypdfconverter.rb document.adoc

You should see that the listing block with the role "green" now has a green background.

Note, the prepend command creates a hierarchy similar to extending the class, except creates the hierarchy in place.

Cheers,

-Dan
