Usage: asciidoctor [OPTION]... FILE...
Convert the AsciiDoc input FILE(s) to the backend output format (e.g., HTML 5, DocBook 5, etc.)
Unless specified otherwise, the output is written to a file whose name is derived from the input file.
Application log messages are printed to STDERR.
Example: asciidoctor input.adoc
-b, --backend BACKEND set backend output format: [html5, xhtml5, docbook5, manpage] (default: html5)
additional backends are supported via extended converters (e.g., pdf, epub3)
-d, --doctype DOCTYPE document type to use when converting document: [article, book, manpage, inline] (default: article)
-e, --embedded suppress enclosing document structure and output an embedded document (default: false)
-o, --out-file FILE output file (default: based on path of input file); use - to output to STDOUT
--safe set safe mode level to safe (default: unsafe)
enables include directives, but prevents access to ancestor paths of source file
provided for compatibility with the asciidoc command
-S, --safe-mode SAFE_MODE set safe mode level explicitly: [unsafe, safe, server, secure] (default: unsafe)
disables potentially dangerous macros in source files, such as include::[]
-s, --no-header-footer suppress enclosing document structure and output an embedded document (default: false)
-n, --section-numbers auto-number section titles in the HTML backend; disabled by default
--eruby ERUBY specify eRuby implementation to use when rendering custom ERB templates: [erb, erubi, erubis] (default: erb)
-a, --attribute name[=value] a document attribute to set in the form of name, name!, or name=value pair
this attribute takes precedence over the same attribute defined in the source document
unless either the name or value ends in @ (i.e., name@=value or name=value@)
-T, --template-dir DIR a directory containing custom converter templates that override the built-in converter (requires tilt gem)
may be specified more than once
-E, --template-engine NAME template engine to use for the custom converter templates (loads gem on demand)
-B, --base-dir DIR base directory containing the document and resources (default: directory of source file)
-R, --source-dir DIR source root directory (used for calculating path in destination directory)
-D, --destination-dir DIR destination output directory (default: directory of source file)
-I, --load-path DIRECTORY add a directory to the $LOAD_PATH
may be specified more than once
-r, --require LIBRARY require the specified library before executing the processor (using require)
may be specified more than once
--failure-level LEVEL set minimum log level that yields a non-zero exit code: [INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL] (default: FATAL)
-q, --quiet silence application log messages and script warnings (default: false)
--trace include backtrace information when reporting errors (default: false)
-v, --verbose directs application messages logged at DEBUG or INFO level to STDERR (default: false)
-w, --warnings turn on script warnings (default: false)
-t, --timings print timings report (default: false)
-h, --help [TOPIC] print a help message
show this usage if TOPIC is not specified or recognized
show an overview of the AsciiDoc syntax if TOPIC is syntax
dump the Asciidoctor man page (in troff/groff format) if TOPIC is manpage
-V, --version display the version and runtime environment (or -v if no other flags or arguments)
