Hi everyone,

I thought I should start a new thread for this topic instead of continuing to overload another.  In essence, I'm still not clear on how I can create a new Slim template such that it is recognized by Asciidoctor as something valid (and used when running via the Maven plugin and not CLI).

How could I reproduce the "yell" example from the user manual if I want to use a Slim template approach instead of a Java based extension?  How can/should "yell" get registered?  Not being sure how to go about it, I created a Slim template called "block_yell.html.slim" and tried variations like this:

----
[yell]
Hey! Ho! Let's go!

[yell]
--
Hey! Ho! Let's go!
--

[name=yell]
Hey! Ho! Let's go!
----

The first two warn of invalid styles.  The third simply outputs the string and doesn't use the template.  I have also tried other variations, but to no avail.   Is this possible?

Thanks!

Sebastien
