Asciidoctor

The sbt-site plugin has direct support for building Asciidoctor projects.

To enable the “sbt site Asciidoctor” plugin in your sbt project, add the following to your project/plugins.sbt file:

addSbtPlugin("com.github.sbt" % "sbt-site-asciidoctor" % "1.5.0")

And enable the associated plugin in your build.sbt file:

sourceenablePlugins(SitePreviewPlugin, AsciidoctorPlugin)

This assumes you have an Asciidoctor project under the src/asciidoctor directory. To change this, set the sourceDirectory key in the Asciidoctor scope:

Asciidoctor / sourceDirectory := sourceDirectory.value / "asciimd"

Similarly, the output can be redirected to a subdirectory of target/site via the siteSubdirName key in Asciidoctor scope:

source// Puts output in `target/site/asciimd`
Asciidoctor / siteSubdirName := "asciimd"

Attributes

Asciidoctor allows the rendering of documents to be inflenced by attributes.

You can configure attributes by setting asciidoctorAttributes.

asciidoctorAttributes := Map(
  "skip-front-matter" -> "", // attribute without value can be set to empty string
  "lang" -> "nl" // attribute with value
)
