The user manual says that an RCS ID can be used to derive revision and author information:
. An RCS/CVS/SVN $Id$ marker (if an $Id$ revision marker is used the header author line can be omitted). When I first read that description, which is in the same section that discusses the :Revision: attribute setting, I assumed the syntax went something like this: Revision: $Id: $ I also assumed that this setting needed to occur near the top of the file in its header section. The example clears things up: cat rcs-id-marker-test.txt RCS $Id$ Marker Test ==================== $Id: mydoc.txt,v 1.5 2009/05/17 17:58:44 jbloggs Exp $ Lorum ipsum... Adding some clarification and an example to the user manual would be helpful. It would also be useful to state that the following fields are set: revnumber, revdate, and author. (Note: "revision" and "date" are apparently deprecated, and older examples use those attribute names. The manual does not mention this. It would be good if the more commonly visited "how to" pages were updated to use the new attribute names.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "asciidoc" group.
