I'm using the asciidoc formatting in JBake. How can I use a custom backend for the asciidoc to html generation?

I'm using the asciidoc formatting in JBake. I'm using version 2.4.0 of JBake.

All is working well, but i want to make some changes in the HTML generated from the asciidoc content. Normally in Asciidoctor you can specify the template_dirs option for custom backends.

I tried to do the same within JBake by adding the following to the jbake.properties file.

asciidoctor.option.template_dirs=src/custom-asciidoctor-backends/erb/html5

The directory src/custom-asciidoctor-backends/erb/html5 contains the original backend, without any changes on my part.

This gives me the following error

An unexpected error occurred: (NoMethodError) asciidoctor: FAILED: : Failed to parse source, undefined method `each' for "src/custom-asciidoctor-backends/erb/html5":String

So my question is how can I configure JBake to use a custom backend?

Solution

In version 2.4.0 in JBake this is not possible. A issue has been raised at the JBake project.
