Hi,

I'm using Asciidoctor (and po4a) to build a multilingual document system.

The default styling looks great, but I'd like to make some small changes, and I'm not sure of the best approach.

The templates in the asciidoctor-backends repository aren't maintained – the slim/html5 template throws an error on "image::name.jpg[]", so that's probably not what I should use. (I also wasn't sure which of eml, haml or slim to choose.)

What's the recommended way to make minor changes to the existing html5 template?

Before I realized the problem with the images, I edited the slim templates to generate this with a logo and placeholder for some links above the table of contents.  The "This document is also available in PDF ... español, français" part is generated with a custom extension that looks at what else is in the repository, ideally I'd also like that to be outside the document (above the TOC) as well.  Can a template call an extension for this?

Thanks :)
