The document attributes feature is super-nice and works nicely for asciidoc files but it seems to not work for associated docinfo files. As I am very new to asciidoc and asciidoctor, I may miss something obvious. Anyway, let's say I use an attribute in my asciidoc file {appversion} and I pass in the attribute via the asciidoctor gradle plugin:

options = [
    attributes: [
        appversion: "$version",
        ...
    ]
]

In this case the dynamic property from the Gradle build will be passed-in and replaced correctly for the adoc file. However, when I try the same for the -docinfo.xml file (in order to set a docbook meta element) it does not get replaced.

Is there something I am missing? Any workaround?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Gunnar
