The patch you quoted adds "footer-style=none", which would do the trick. But I have two open questions: 1. What does this do on older versions of asciidoc? Is it silently ignored (ok), or does it generate an error (bad)? 2. This covers the HTML versions, but not the roff manpages (which are generated by docbook). Do we have a way to tweak the date in the latter? I don't think that's necessarily a requirement for this patch, but it is worth thinking about at the same time. Assuming the answer to (1) is "ok" and (2) is "no, but it's hard because docbook is scary, so let's punt", then somebody needs to write up the commit message and send the actual patch to the list. Would you like to try that? -Peff
