Description Todd Zullinger 2023-05-26 15:28:05 UTC 
With ruby < 2.6.0 / rdoc < 6.0.2, rdoc fails to parse valid ruby code, resulting in build failures.  An example is asciidoctor > 2.0.15 (though 2.0.20, currently)

While attempting to build asciidoctor-2.0.20 for Fedora and RHEL+EPEL releases, I ran into the following error on RHEL+EPEL 8:

    Installing ri documentation for asciidoctor-2.0.20
    Installing darkfish documentation for asciidoctor-2.0.20
    ERROR:  While executing gem ... (RDoc::Error)
        error generating Asciidoctor/Converter/ManPageConverter.html: no implicit conversion of nil into String (TypeError)

I have reported this upstream as well:

    https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/4462

I will submit a merge request to backport the small rdoc fix.
