asciidoctor-pdf: `calc_line_metrics': undefined method `*' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Hi all,

I tried to customize the output of asciidoctor-pdf a bit and I got intro trouble.

My little test.adoc looks ok, since standard converting it looks good:

⌁68% [lmeier:] ppc ‡ ~/.gem/ruby/2.2.0/gems/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.7/bin/asciidoctor-pdf -r asciidoctor-diagram --trace -a data-uri -o test_r.pdf test.adoc

But if I use a simple theme file, I got this error:

⌁68% [lmeier:] ppc ‡ ~/.gem/ruby/2.2.0/gems/asciidoctor-pdf-1.5.0.alpha.7/bin/asciidoctor-pdf -r asciidoctor-diagram --trace -a pdf-stylesdir=themes -a pdf-style=basic.yml -a data-uri -o test_r.pdf test.adoc

footer:
  font_color: $base_font_color

Any hints?

Wilhelm,

Currently, you have to specify all the keys in your custom theme for which a default value is not provided. This is one of the primary reasons Asciidoctor PDF is still alpha. The plan is to load a base theme so that a custom theme only needs to declare keys that it wants to override from the base theme (like CSS). (Related issue: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf/issues/132).

To make your custom theme work today, you need to start with the minimal theme recommended in the theming guide (warning: there are still some keys missing even from that sample, but it should work for most documents).

Look for the basic-theme.yml in this section of the guide: http://gist.asciidoctor.org/?github-asciidoctor%2Fasciidoctor-pdf%2F%2Fdocs%2Ftheming-guide.adoc#language-overview

Cheers,

-Dan

Re: asciidoctor-pdf: `calc_line_metrics': undefined method `*' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Thanks for the hints! Looks ok now.

The problem was that I used an old theme file from an older asciidoctor-pdf installation.
