Custom style description lists

This post was updated on Dec 24, 2020; 12:46am.

I'm trying to achieve the following:

italic, constant, constant-italic, constant-bold description list

I'm unable to remove boldness and reconcile constant and italic like `_E_`.

It is only one description list in the book so I can change it to something else if it is impossible to remove boldness. But I really need constant + italic.

EDIT:


`constant simple`

`_constant italic_`

Hmm... Seems like I need to use another font for fixed-width fonts.

This appears to be PDF output. In the default theme for Asciidoctor PDF, the italic style for monospace is mapped to a lighter font weight since the bundled monospaced font (M+ 1mn) does not support italic. So the text is italic. It just doesn't appear that way.

If you want different behavior, you will need to replace the font. See https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf/blob/master/docs/theming-guide.adoc#extending-the-font-catalog
