asciidoctor 2.x and -bibtex to generate tex files

[rriemann]

Dear all,

I just do my first steps with asciidoctor.

I use rvm and ran gem install --pre asciidoctor-latex asciidoctor-bibtex.

This gives me with gem list | grep ascii:

asciidoctor (2.0.10, 1.5.8)
asciidoctor-bibtex (0.6.0)
asciidoctor-latex (1.5.0.17.dev)

Asciidoctor is installed twice, because bibtex and latex have different version requirements on asciidoctor. I did not manage to have a successful call to create a tex with the bibtex extension. Errors I have are:

$ asciidoctor-latex -r asciidoctor-bibtex sample.adoc
  asciidoctor: FAILED: 'asciidoctor-bibtex' could not be loaded

How can I setup bibtex to create tex files?

It seems asciidoctor-latex is out of date and its pulls in the old asciidoctor. asciidoctor-bibtex depends on the new asciidoctor so it can not be loaded. One workaround is to modify the asciidoctor-latex Gemfile to depend on asciidoctor-2 and use asciidoctor to load both:

asciidoctor -r asciidoctor-bibtex -r asciidoctor-latex -b latex <doc>.asciidoc
