3. Processing

I run this in a Guard file using ruby:

require 'asciidoctor'
require 'erb'

guard 'shell' do
  watch(/^*.asc$/) {|m|
    p "Converting '#{m[0]}'..."
    # Asciidoctor.convert_file(m[0], :in_place => true)
    #`asciidoctor-pdf -r asciidoctor-diagram -a stylesheet="./stylesheet.css" #{m[0]}`
    `asciidoctor -r asciidoctor-diagram -a stylesheet="./stylesheet.css" #{m[0]}`

  }
end
