How can i include text snippet with image more then once? [SOLVED]

This post was updated on Nov 14, 2019; 10:14am.

So i have separate file with content like this:

Some text
(<<id1>>)
+
[[id1]]
.Image title
image::image1.png[]

In my main document i have to include those snippet few times like this:

include::snippet.adoc[]

The problem is that when i try to build PDF, i get errors

asciidoctor: WARNING: main.adoc: line 24: id assigned to block already in use: id1

What can i do in this situation?

Re: How can i include text snippet with image more then once?

I tried to solve this by using variables in image ID and changing its value each time before include:

in snippet.adoc:

Some text
(<<{id_variable}>>)
+
[[{id_variable}]]
.Image title
image::image1.png[]

in main.adoc:

Some text some text some text

:id_variable: _first-include
include::snippet.adoc[]

Another text another text another text

:id_variable: _second-include
include::snippet.adoc[]

BUT it does not work. Probably, asciidoctor doesn't allow using of variables in id's...
Any help?

There is an alternative syntax for IDs that works for me on Asciidoctor 2.0.10. Instead of double-braces I used single braces and a hash:

[#{id_variable}]
.Image title
image::image1.png[]

After that change the examples seemed to work for me.

Wow, now it works, thanks!
Ah, by the way, maybe you know: is it possible to do simple calculations with variables values? Like, for example:

:variable1: 21
:variable2: {variable1} - 1

This should say "20": {variable2}

Exactly correct! The legacy double bracket syntax for IDs doesn't support attribute references for compatibility reasons. (See https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/1381).
