AsciiDoc Version 8.3
====================
This is significant release, it gets rid of unused cruft, simplifies
the http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/newlists.html[lists] syntax and
introduces a decent
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/newtables.html[tables] syntax.
There are a few fairly minor backward compatibility issues, please
read the link:CHANGELOG.html#X1[compatibility issues] section in the
CHANGLOG before upgrading.
New Features
------------
- AsciiDoc tables have been redesigned. 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.
