Hi,

I've been using AsciiDoctor for some time now and it's really a great tool. I started to put all my writings together on a single site with jekyll but I have an issue with code highlighting with pygments and callouts.

* Standalone asciioctor with pygments works fine
* When the post is included in jekylls _posts directory, the file gets processed fine but there are  two issues:

1. source code is not highlighted. While strating jekyll with bundle exec jekyll serve --verbose, I get the following error: asciidoctor: WARNING: optional gem 'pygments.rb' is not available (reason: cannot load 'pygments'). Functionality disabled. However when I list the gems, pugments is present:

maurycy@kali> gem list | grep py
pygments.rb (1.2.1)
rb-pygments (0.1.0)

I'm not sure hwo mandatory this is, but I also added the following configuration in _config.yaml without any success:

asciidoc: {}
asciidoctor:
  attributes:
    - source-highlighter=pygments
    - pygments-css=style

I'm not bound to pygments. If any other highlighter is known to work better, please let me know

2. I have :icons: font in the .adoc file, and callouts  get rendered fine with asciidoctor alone but really really poorly with jekyll.

Thanks in advance for any help
