My first extension based on "83.5. Block Processor Example"

This post was updated on .

Hi guys,

I started with AsciiDoc(tor) a few days ago. My problem: I have zero ruby skills so I need help with my first little extension.

What I do right know

Without the extension I write often something like this:

[.feature]
--
*Feature*

abc

123
--

What I would like to have

[feature]
abc
+
123

(This should lead to the same HTML as my current workaround.)

What I found so far

After reading the manual I think the chapter 83.5 Block Processor Example is the part I'm looking for. But I have no idea how to adapt the code to my needs and get it running. Maybe you can add another example based on my request to the manual? I think other people are looking for similar things.

Thanks!

Best regards
DrAscii

In order to support blank lines in the content, you must enclose the lines in a block (it could be an open block or some other block). So the closest thing you can have is:

[feature]

abc

123

That would be implemented as something like:

Asciidoctor::Extensions.register do

block :feature do

on_context :open

process do |parent, reader, attrs|

# magic goes here

end

If you are okay with:

[feature]

abc

{blank}

123

Then you could use on_context: :paragraph

The continuation line is only relevant for lists.

Cheers,
