Hi,

I'm new to this list, I've been playing with Asciidoctor for a few days and loving it so far.

I'm trying to use Asciidoc to generate pages in a Maven Site to no avail. I've tried to configure my plugin exactly as hinted in the doc at [1], but I get this error:

----
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:3.2:site (default-site) on project my-maven-plugin: Error during page generation: Error parsing '/Users/Romain/Work/my-maven-plugin/src/site/asciidoc/usage.ad': line [9] Error parsing the model: end tag name </head> must be the same as start tag <link> from line 8 (position: TEXT seen ...<link rel="stylesheet" href="./asciidoctor.css">\n</head>... @9:8) -> [Help 1]
----

It seems to me that the Maven site plugin is not happy with the HTML5 backend and would prefer an XHTML syntax. Is there any way to configure the backend used by the site plugin ? Has anyone been successful in using Asciidoctor for Maven site generation ?

Thanks!
Romain.
