An Asciidoctor extension that adds a variable indir
, which always points to the directory of the currently included asciidoc file.
This extension solves the problem that standard asciidoctor allows no relative paths in subdocuments, see asciidoctor issue #650.
This is a fork of https://github.com/johannesjh/asciidoctor-indir_ext. I just updated some dependencies to make it work with the latest asciidoc version.
If using bundler, add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'asciidoctor-indir-extension'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
If you do not wish to use bundler, install as:
$ gem install asciidoctor-indir-extension
-
In the beginning of a subdocument, add this line:
ifndef::indir[:indir: .]
-
Include images like this:
image::{indir}/images/example.svg[]
-
When compiling a master document (that includes other subdocuments), require this extension.
For example:
bundle exec asciidoctor -r asciidoctor-indir-extension master.adoc
...or without bundler:
asciidoctor -r asciidoctor-indir-extension master.adoc
As a result, the extension provides an indir
variable, which always points at the directory of the included asciidoc file. This allows image paths like {indir}/images/example.svg
to be resolved relative to the included subdocument.
It is possible to start a docker container using docker-compose run --rm dev bash
.
This allows to run the following commands inside the docker container
and thus avoids messing with the local system setup.
- Run
bundle install
to install dependencies - To list all available rake tasks, run
bundle exec rake -T
- To build a gem package on your local machine, run
bundle exec rake build
- To install this gem onto your local machine, run
bundle exec rake install
- To release a new version, update the version number in
version.rb
, and then runbundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the.gem
file to rubygems.org

This extension is based on another asciidoctor extension called jirutka/asciidoctor-include-ext, which provides a cleaner implementation of asciidoctor's include processing, and thus makes it easier to overwrite according behavior through an extension.
Special thanks goes to @mojavelinux for pointing out this solution in asciidoctor issue #650 and for providing valuable feedback.
