Rework external asciidoctor integration
This commit solves the relative path problem with asciidoctor tooling. An include will resolve relatively, so you can refer easily to files in the same folder. Also `asciidoctor-diagram` and PlantUML rendering works now, because the created temporary files will be placed in the correct folder. This patch covers just the Ruby version of asciidoctor. The old AsciiDoc CLI EOLs in Jan 2020, so this variant is removed from code. The configuration is completely rewritten and now available in `config.toml` under the key `[markup.asciidocext]`: ```toml [markup.asciidocext] extensions = ["asciidoctor-html5s", "asciidoctor-diagram"] workingFolderCurrent = true trace = true [markup.asciidocext.attributes] my-base-url = "https://example.com/" my-attribute-name = "my value" ``` - backends, safe-modes, and extensions are now whitelisted to the popular (ruby) extensions and valid values. - the default for extensions is to not enable any, because they're all external dependencies so the build would break if the user didn't install them beforehand. - the default backend is html5 because html5s is an external gem dependency. - the default safe-mode is safe, explanations of the modes: https://asciidoctor.org/man/asciidoctor/ - the config is namespaced under asciidocext_config and the parser looks at asciidocext to allow a future native Go asciidoc. - `uglyUrls=true` option and `--source` flag are supported - `--destination` flag is required Follow the updated documentation under `docs/content/en/content-management/formats.md`. This patch would be a breaking change, because you need to correct all your absolute include pathes to relative paths, so using relative paths must be configured explicitly by setting `workingFolderCurrent = true`.

+### External Helper AsciiDoc
+
+[AsciiDoc](https://github.com/asciidoc/asciidoc) implementation EOLs in Jan 2020 and is no longer supported.
+AsciiDoc development is being continued under [Asciidoctor](https://github.com/asciidoctor). The format AsciiDoc
+remains of course. Please continue with the implementation Asciidoctor.
+
+### External Helper Asciidoctor
+
+The Asciidoctor community offers a wide set of tools for the AsciiDoc format that can be installed additionally to Hugo.
+[See the Asciidoctor docs for installation instructions](https://asciidoctor.org/docs/install-toolchain/). Make sure that also all
+optional extensions like `asciidoctor-diagram` or `asciidoctor-html5s` are installed if required.
+
+Asciidoctor parameters can be customized in Hugo:
+
+Parameter | Default | Comment
+--- | --- | ---
+backend | `html5` | Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
+doctype | `article` | Document type (article, book or manpage).
+extensions | | Possible extensions are `asciidoctor-html5s`, `asciidoctor-diagram`, `asciidoctor-interdoc-reftext`, `asciidoctor-katex`, `asciidoctor-latex`, `asciidoctor-question`, `asciidoctor-rouge`.
+attributes | | Variables to be referenced in your `adoc` file. This is a list of variable name/value maps. See [Asciidoctor#attributes](https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference/#attributes-and-substitutions).
+noheaderorfooter | true | Output an embeddable document, which excludes the header, the footer, and everything outside the body of the document. Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
+safemode | `unsafe` | Safe mode level `unsafe`, `safe`, `server` or `secure`. Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
+sectionnumbers | `false` | Auto-number section titles.
+verbose | `true` | Verbosely print processing information and configuration file checks to stderr.
+trace | `false` | Include backtrace information on errors.
+failurelevel | `fatal` | The minimum logging level that triggers a non-zero exit code (failure).
+workingfoldercurrent | `false` | Set the working folder to the rendered `adoc` file, so [include](https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference/#include-files) will work with relative paths. This setting uses the `asciidoctor` cli parameter `--base-dir` and attribute `outdir=`. For rendering [asciidoctor-diagram](https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoctor-diagram/) `workingfoldercurrent` must be set to `true`.
+
+```
+[markup.asciidocext]
+ extensions = ["asciidoctor-html5s", "asciidoctor-diagram"]
+ workingFolderCurrent = true
+ trace = true
+ [markup.asciidocext.attributes]
+ my-base-url = "https://example.com/"
+ my-attribute-name = "my value"
+```
+
+Important: External `asciidoctor` requires Hugo rendering to _disk_ to a specific destination folder. It is required to run Hugo with the command option `--destination`!
+
+In a complex Asciidoctor environment it is sometimes helpful to debug the exact call to your external helper with all
+parameters. Run Hugo with `-v`. You will get an output like
+
+```
+INFO 2019/12/22 09:08:48 Rendering book-as-pdf.adoc with C:\Ruby26-x64\bin\asciidoctor.bat using asciidoc args [--no-header-footer -r asciidoctor-html5s -b html5s -r asciidoctor-diagram --base-dir D:\prototypes\hugo_asciidoc_ddd\docs -a outdir=D:\prototypes\hugo_asciidoc_ddd\build -] ...
