Re: Gradle/AsciiDoctor: Combining all AsciiDoc files in one?

You can write extensions inline in your Gradle build, btw.

See http://blog.jdriven.com/2015/03/awesome-asciidoctor-use-inline-extension-dsl-with-gradle/

You'll want "preprocessor" as the DSL stanza.

For example:

extensions {
  preprocessor { doc, reader ->
    // do stuff
    reader
  }
}

You'll have to work around some issues until AsciidoctorJ 1.6.0...or you could try a snapshot (which is now available).

So, I was wondering if there is a way to combine all adoc files in a directory without having to use explicit includes? Either with some AsciiDoc directive or with the Gradle support?

Sounds to me like a good case for a preprocessor. A preprocessor takes and input document (which can be blank) and returns a new reader which may contain any content you feed it. You could scan for files, read them and aggregate them into the reader. In particular, you'll be interested in the "push_include" method which emulates the behavior of an include directive.

What you need is an example. See:

* https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctorj#preprocessor
* https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctorj/blob/master/asciidoctorj-core/src/main/java/org/asciidoctor/extension/PreprocessorReader.java#L9
