Long time no blog, mainly because I'm pretty busy with real life.
So yesterday I got an answer on the asciidoc list about how to do C++ source hilighting that works with html and pdf output as well. The problem is that source-highlight (used for html) and docbook have a different name for this crappy language.
The solution was to do
:cpp: cpp
Which says "if docbook, then c++ otherwise cpp", and then I can just use
---- code ----
Yay!
