Re: Intent to orphan dblatex (asciidoc dependency)

[Josef Ridky]

From asciidoc perspective, dblatex is quite important for generating PDF files (even
it's called just via shell method).

I have contacted asciidoc upstream (asciidoc-py3 to be precised) with question about
dblatex replacement. 
I'll let you know once they reply.
