The link:newtables.html[new + syntax and features] are a huge improvement over the old tables. The + old tables syntax has been deprecated but is currently still + processed. +- Lists can now be styled like other block elements. This allows a + single list syntax for 'glossary', 'qanda' (Question and Answer) and + 'bibliography' lists instead of having to remember a different + syntax for each type. link:newlists.html[Here is some more + information]. +- Inline passthroughs macros have been improved and block passthrough + macros added. Attribute substitution can be optionally specified + when the macro is called. +- The passthrough block has a fully transparent passthrough delimited + block block style called 'pass'. +- The 'asciimath' and 'latexmath' link:userguide.html#X77[passthrough + macros] along with 'asciimath' and 'latexmath' + link:userguide.html#X76[passthrough blocks] provide a (backend + dependent) mechanism for rendering mathematical formulas. There are + link:latexmath.pdf[LaTeX Math], link:asciimathml.html[AsciiMathML] + and link:latexmathml.html[LaTeXMathML] examples on the AsciiDoc + website. + +Read the link:CHANGELOG.html[CHANGELOG] for a full list of all +additions and changes. |
