Documentation on how to convert adoc to adoc

[dsyer]

asciidoctor/asciidoctor#1793 was closed when asciidoctor-reducer was released. The examples in the README help me to make progress on the command line with the gem, but I still don't know what to do with it as part of a Maven build. I want to merge some files into a README as part of the Maven build.

None of the https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-maven-examples/ seem to help.

asciidoctor-reducer does not include an Asciidoctor converter (for context: #618 (comment)), which is the API that the asciidoctor-maven-plugin consumes.
You can get this in maven with the exec goal of the gem-maven-plugin.
