Custom Extension with external data (or page variables)

2 posts

I am writing a custom extension. Can it access either the doc.catalog or the attributes passed in for processing? I need access to that information to do the resolution.

Thanks,

bex

For those who come after me, it appears this is what you need to walk up the tree:

parent.document.options[:attributes]["bob"]

Will get you to the bob value passed in ala

doc = Asciidoctor.load_file "foo.adoc", :header_footer => false, :safe => :unsafe, :attributes => {"bob" => "bar" }

regards,

bex

That's correct. If you want the original (unprocessed) attributes passed to the API, it's Document#options[:attributes]. Of course, you can access the resolved attributes via Document#attributes.
