Asciidoctor 1.5.4 [http://asciidoctor.org]

Asciidoctor PDF 1.5.0.alpha.15 using Asciidoctor 1.5.4 [http://asciidoctor.org]

#highlight me# -> don't work in PDF 

[highlight]#highlight me# -> don't work in both PDF and HTML 

[underline]#underline me# -> works in both PDF and HTML.

[color]#color me# -> don't work in PDF

I hope highlight or color is an easy fix because I need either one of them.

Hi,

for underline and color, you can see my proposition in the ticket #652

We don't currently have support for custom roles on phrases, or highlighted text for that matter. This is a duplicate of #376, which is also being discussed in the #350 pull request.

Thank you. So "underline" is considered non-custom and is implemented ? What is the criteria ?

This is inconsistency between asciidoctor and asciidoctor-pdf !

[mojavelinux]

The goal is to close that gap. Some things are easy to implement (like underline), some are hard. Step by step.

This has been covered by various other issues and has since been resolved.

Note that to support a custom role, like red, you must define it in the theme file as follows:

extends: default
role:
  red:
    font-color: #ff0000
