Error "undefined method `attr?' for nil" if :doctype: book, :!sectids:, and plantuml with format=svg

[donparakin]

I'm getting a strange error that I've narrowed down to this document. I'm running Docker image asciidoctor/docker-asciidoctor:1.72.0 (haven't tried it with other images):

= Minimal Doc
:doctype: book
:!sectids:

== The Diagrams

[plantuml,,format=svg]
----
@startebnf
Command = "piku", "apps";
@endebnf
----

fails with error: undefined method `attr?' for nil

Strangely, the problem goes away if one of the following is done: 1) remove format=svg from the plantuml diagram, 2) remove the == The Diagrams section, 3) remove :!sectids:, or 4) remove :doctype: book. Is this a bug or PEBCAK?

The trace of the error is:

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/asciidoctor-epub3-2.1.3/lib/asciidoctor-epub3/converter.rb:1029:in `register_media_file': undefined method `attr?' for nil (NoMethodError)

You should report this to asciidoctor-epub3. Though I am not reproducing any issues with your minimal document...
