AsciiDoc ChangeLog
version 8.6.8, 17 July 2012
__________________________________________________________________
1. Version 8.6.8 (2012-07-17)
Release highlights
Added full complement of styles to Open Blocks and Normal Paragraphs —
those with a minimalist bent could construct virtually any document
using just Title, Normal Paragraph and Open Block syntaxes.
Other additions and changes
* Increased default maximum include depth from 5 to 10.
* Emit warning if maximum include depth is exceeded.
* Suppress repeated console messages.
* Music filter: removed --beams=None option from abc2ly invocation
because it is broken on LilyPond 2.14 (Ubuntu 12.04).
* Replaced obsolete <tt> tag with <code> in HTML backends.
* Allow configuration attribute entries to create a new section
(previously you could only modify existing sections). See:
[1]discussion list.
* Documented {wj} (word-joiner) attribute and updated FAQ. See:
[2]discussion list.
* FAQ: Added How can I place a footnote immediately following quoted
text? See [3]discussion list.
* Added Greek language configuration file. Contributed by Michael
Dourmousoglou. See [4]discussion list.
* FAQ: Added Using roles to select fonts for PDF. Submitted by Lex
Trotman and based on solution by Antonio Borneo. See: [5]discussion
list.
* Apply same monospaced font size to all monospaced text.
* Changed 0 number padding to spaces in numbered GNU source-highlight
outputs.
* Allow highlight source highlighter to use python for Python
{language} name. r1142: Update the AsciiDoc source filter to allow
the use of the highlight source code highlighter. See [6]discussion
list.
Note
The pygments attribute has been deprecated in favor of the new
source-highlighter attribute.
* Vim syntax highlighter: Don’t confuse trailing open block delimiter
with section underline.
* Added skip option to paragraphs (c.f. Delimited Block skip option).
Bug fixes
* FIXED: latex, music and graphviz filters: When the filter output
image is data-uri encoded write it to the indir (instead of the
outdir) so that encoder can find it. See [7]discussion list.
* FIXED: Escape the ] character inside inline macros. See
[8]discussion list.
* FIXED: source highlighter filter: Pass role attribute to HTML
backends.
* FIXED: source highlight filter: docbook backend: role attribute was
not passed to listings without a title. Patch submitted by Lex
Trotman. See [9]discussion list.
* FIXED: music2png.py: FOPException: Raster ByteInterleavedRaster
error (FOP 1.0, ImageMagick 6.6.9-7).
__________________________________________________________________
2. Version 8.6.7 (2012-03-17)
Release highlights
No major enhancements but quite a few bug fixes which, among other
things, fixes Jython compatibility and improves Windows compatibility.
All additions and changes
* Vim syntax highlighter: highlight entity refs in macro arguments.
* Added files with .asciidoc extension to Vim file type detection.
[10]Patch submitted by Dag Wiers.
* Added replacement3 substitution to enable [11]ODT whitespace
processing.
* Added unbreakable option to XHTML and HTML 5 backends.
* Implemented toc::[] block macro and toc-placement attribute for
HTML backends to allow the Table of Contents placement to be set
manually by the author.
* Added FAQs: How can I control page breaks when printing HTML
outputs? and Is it possible to reposition the Table of Contents in
HTML outputs?.
* Added --backend and --backend-opts options to the a2x command to
allow a2x to use backend plugin code extensions. [12]Patch
submitted by Lex Trotman.
* Added [13]args block attribute to source highlight blocks to allow
arbitrary parameters to be passed to the source highlighters.
* If the ascii-ids attribute is defined then non-ascii characters in
auto-generated IDs [14]are replaced by their nearest ascii
equivalents (to work around DocBook processor limitations).
* Added global blockname attribute which is dynamically updated to
identify the current block. See [15]discussion list.
* xhtml11, html5 backends: Include book part TOC entries for
multi-part books. Patch submitted by Loïc Paillotin.
* Removed code filter example from the AsciiDoc User Guide so that
backends implemented as external plugins can compile the manual.
See [16]discussion list.
* If the delimited block skip option is set then do not consume block
title and attributes. This makes it possible for the comment
delimited blocks to use an attribute list (previously the comment
delimited block was hardwired to skip preceding attributes and
titles). See [17]discussion list.
* Added backend-confdir intrinsic attribute.
Bug fixes
* FIXED: slidy backend: broken stylesheet attribute. [18]Patch
submitted by Micheal Hackett.
* FIXED: Restored [19]missing themes to zip file distribution
archive.
* FIXED: Grammatical error in error messages. [20]Patch submitted by
Dag Wieers.
* FIXED: Use configured normal substitution in preference to the
default one.
* FIXED: The eval block macro would execute multiple times if it
evaluated to None.
* FIXED: Duplicated entries in TOC of large document. [21]Patch
submitted by Sebastien Helleu.
* FIXED: Python 2.4 backward [22]incompatibility.
* FIXED: 8.6.6 regression broke Jython compatibility. See
[23]discussion list.
* FIXED: Leaky file handles in a2x and music and latex filters which
created incompatibility problems for Jython.
* FIXED: All Python filters are executed with the same Python
interpreter that executes the asciidoc parent (previously filters
were hardwired to execute the python interpreter). This prevents
[24]Python mix-ups.
* FIXED: Microsoft Windows shelled command-line truncation that
caused shelled commands to fail e.g. the data-uri attribute
failure.
__________________________________________________________________
3. Version 8.6.6 (2011-09-04)
Release highlights
* The AsciiDoc plugin architecture has been enhanced, unified and
extended:
+ Plugin commands have been added to the asciidoc(1) --backend
option.
+ An asciidoc(1) --theme option has been implemented to specify
a theme and to manage theme plugins.
+ A plugin build command (for creating plugins) added.
+ build, install, list and remove plugin commands are all
recognized by asciidoc(1) --backend, --filter and --theme
options.
* A security update by Kenny MacDermid removes the use of eval() on
untrusted input (to disallow code malicious execution).
All additions and changes
* xhtml11, html5: Made verse and quote block text darker to print
legibly in Google Chrome browser.
* Added plugin build command for plugin file creation.
* Merged --help plugins back to --help manpage so it matches the
asciidoc(1) manpage.
* The --filter command-line option can specify the name of filters
that will be unconditionally loaded.
* If a filter directory contains a file named __noautoload__ then the
filter is not automatically loaded (you can used the --filter
command-line option to override this behavior).
* tests: Add Italian language tests. Patch submitted by Simon

* If the section name is prefixed with a + character then the section
contents is appended to the contents of an already existing
same-named section (the default behavior is to replace the the
section).
* If a configuration file section named docinfo is loaded then it
will be included in the document header. Typically the docinfo
section name will be prefixed with a + character so that it is
appended to (rather than replace) other docinfo sections.
* Added {sp} intrinsic attribute for single space character. See
[27]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/a8
39aa01db0765d2

directory if it contains global configuration files i.e. a local
asciidoc installation.
* asciidoc now throws an error instead of just a warning of the
backend configuration file is not found.
* latex filter: write MD5 file after successful PNG file generation.
Always delete temp files irrespective of outcome.
* Added truecolor option to LaTeX filter. Patch submitted by Michel
Krämer. See:
[29]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/64

f25f21d1da180a
__________________________________________________________________
4. Version 8.6.5 (2011-05-20)
Release highlights
* The addition of an html5 backend to generate HTML 5 output. Apart
from the inclusion of audio and video block macros the html5
backend is functionally identical to the xhtml11 backend.
* A new flask theme for xhtml11 and html5 backends inspired by the
[41]Flask website styling (see toc2 example in the next item
below).
* The new toc2 attribute generates a table of contents in the left
hand margin (xhtml11 and html5 backends). [42]This example was
generated using the following command:
asciidoc -b html5 -a icons -a toc2 -a theme=flask article.txt
* a2x(1) now has a flexible mechanism for copying arbitrary resource
files to HTML based outputs — this is very handy for generating
EPUB files with embedded fonts and other resources.
+ The a2x(1) --resource option can be used to inject any file
into EPUB output documents e.g. CSS resources such as fonts
and background images.
+ Explicitly specified resources are added to the EPUB OPF
manifest automatically.
+ You can explicitly specify file extension MIME types.
+ The enhanced resource processing works around a couple of
DocBook XSL bugs (see [43]EPUB Notes).
All additions and changes
* A new flask theme for xhtml11 and html5 backends. A shameless
knock-off of the [44]Flask website styling.
* Added HTML 5 article with toc2 table of contents to the example on
the AsciiDoc website home page.
* Added filters and topics help topics. Fixed documentation errors in
help text. Patch submitted by Lionel Orry, see:
[45]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/9d
a9d48a6461ff14
* Pass parent configuration files, command-line attributes and header
attributes to table asciidoc filters. Based on patch submitted by
Simon Ruderich, see:
[46]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/5c
792cbb395b753b
* Allow a title attribute entry in the document header so that HTML
backends can set the title element separately from the displayed
document title (the doctitle attribute).
* Pass lang attribute to asciidoc table style filter. Patch submitted
by Simon Ruderich, see:
[47]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/e2
100b7cb29283ce
* xhtml11,html5: Added toc2 attribute which generates a scrollable
table of contents in the left hand margin. Based on customized CSS
written by Suraj Kurapati, see
[48]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/c5
e30ee5555877f5
* Added asciidoc-confdir intrinsic attribute which expands to the
global conf directory.
* Documented that you can specify multiple CSS files with the a2x(1)
--stylesheet command option. See:
[49]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/ba
f3218551d05a05
* Improved xhtml11 backend’s table of contents generation latency.
Patch submitted by Hongli Lai. See:
[50]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/5a
7fe64fbfd65ad
* Added html5 backend.
* For consistency converted all DOS formatted configuration and text
files to UNIX format.
* html4: Added ability to use role attribute with most block
elements. Patch contributed by Simon Ruderich. See
[51]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/56
20ba634fdb030a
* Added Dutch language configuration file and accompanying test file
(contributed by Dag Wieers, see
[52]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/f9
69b9ce987d7f5d).
* Configuration files are loaded in two passes when the -e
command-line option is used (the same behavior as when the -e
option is not used). Patch submitted by haad. See
[53]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/cd
0f47495fd04181 and
[54]http://code.google.com/p/asciidoc/issues/detail?id=6&q=label%3A
Priority-Medium

resource manifest files.
* a2x: don’t process non-existent resource directories.
* a2x: assume resource option is a directory if the name ends with a
directory separator.
* a2x: Added a new syntax to the --resource option specifier which
allows the destination path to be specified.
* a2x: Copy resources referenced in the OPF and resources referenced
by the generated HTML (in theory DocBook XSL should ensure they are
identical but this is not always the case e.g.
[55]http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=373747&aid=285
4075&group_id=21935).
* Drop border from callout list image links.
* html4: Moved manpage NAME section out of header so that the name
section is rendered when the asciidoc(1) --no-header-footer option
is specified (so that manpages processed blogpost include the NAME
section).
* Vim syntax highlighter: TODO markers now appear in list items and
literal paragraphs and blocks.
* Constrained quotes can now be bounded on the left by a } character.
See:
[56]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/b2
4cc3362f35b801
* Added text-decoration roles (underline, overline, line-through,
blink) for xhtml11 and html5 outputs.
Bug fixes
* FIXED: epubcheck 1.1 previously issued a warning for files not
registered in the manifest (epubcheck 1.0.5 did not). This resulted
in a problem compiling the adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.txt
example (the underline.png resource was not in the manifest).
__________________________________________________________________
5. Version 8.6.4 (2011-02-20)
Additions and changes

the title underline widths. Submitted by Changjian Gao (see
[58]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/77
f28b0dfe60d262).
* Implemented [59]asciidoc(1) filter commands, see:

5282f072413940
* Vim Syntax highlighter: Highlight closing OpenBlocks which
immediately follow a literal paragraph.
* Changed UNIX /dev/null to OS independent os.devnull in filters
code. Suggested by Henrik Maier:
[62]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/5a
c8e8ea895147e9
* Vim syntax highlighter: Single and double quoted text now
highlights correctly when preceded by an attributes list.
* Added Ukrainian language file (lang-uk.conf). Added double-quote
characters to Russian language file.conf). Patches contributed by
Lavruschenko Oleksandr, see
[63]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/e1
5282f072413940
* Single and double quote characters are now set using the {lsquo},
{rsquo}, {ldquo} and {rdquo} attributes. This makes is easy to
customise language specific quotes. See:
[64]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/e1
5282f072413940
* Implemented conf-files attribute to allow configuration files to be
specified in the source document. Suggested by Lex Trotman, see:
[65]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/b1
1066a828ab45b9
Bug fixes
* FIXED: Auto-generated section title ids are now Unicode aware.
* FIXED: Setting quotes configuration entries using document
attribute entries failed if the attribute entry was not in the
document header. See:
[66]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/a1
dd0562dee8b939
* FIXED: If the input and output file names were different then the
output file name was incorrectly used to synthesize docinfo file
names. Reported by Christian Zuckschwerdt.
* FIXED: An error can occur when more than one consecutive quotes are
defined as a blank string. Reported by Peggy Russell.
* FIXED: Encoding error in automatically generated author initials.
Patch submitted by Xin Wang. See:

suggesting this feature).
* The image scale attribute sets the DocBook imagedata element scale
attribute. Patch submitted by Henrik Maier.
* DocBook preface, colophon and dedication style section titles now
work. Based on patch submitted by Henrik Maier.
* a2x: Do not inject xsltproc parameters if they were specified on
the command-line (parameter double-ups generate xsltproc Global

* a2x: Refactored xsltproc parameter injection.
* a2x: articles chunked at section level by default.
* attributes, titles and specialcharacters sections are now read from
the local asciidoc.conf file before the header is parsed. This

[68]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/1b
3f88f1f8118ab3
* Document header attributes take precedence over configuration file

embedding multiple a2x options in document headers easier to manage
and less error prone.
* Added ASCIIMathML and LaTeXMathML support to slidy backend.
* Pass the encoding attribute to the Pygments source highlight filter
command.
* a2x: HTML Help .hhk file named after AsciiDoc source file.
* a2x: Added --xsl-file option to allow custom XSL stylesheets to be

the document header may cause a FAILED: incomplete configuration
files error.
* FIXED: html4: corrected self closed meta tags.
* FIXED: a2x regression in 8.6.2: HTML Help .hhp file name had
reverted to default name instead of the AsciiDoc source file name.
See:
[74]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/de
dc961b23e9ac56
* FIXED: Attributes in man page title caused it to be dropped
resulting in invalid DocBook output.

[78]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/1c
415fc4540ce5e5).
* Implemented backend aliases; renamed docbook.conf to docbook45.conf
and aliased docbook45 backend to docbook; aliased xhtml11 to html.
Bug fixes
* FIXED: Filter commands located in filter directories local to the
source document that where not in the search PATH where not found.
* FIXED: Volnitsky theme: Verseblock font set normal instead of
monospaced.
* FIXED: xhtml11: Callout icons were not rendered as Data URIs when
icons and data-uri attributes were specified.
* FIXED: Long standing bug: nested include macros did not restore the
parent document infile and indir attributes. See:
[79]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/87
12a95e95a292a7
* FIXED: html4: set preamble ID anchor.
* FIXED: xhtml11: dropped unusable id and role attributes from
preamble template.
* FIXED: Bug in multi-name conditional attributes e.g. {x,y#} fails
if x or y is undefined.
* FIXED: latex filter not being installed by Makefile. Thanks to
Grant Edwards for this patch. See
[80]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/c4
427a3902d130a8
* FIXED: a2x: Long-standing bug in a2x which always passes
--string-param navig.graphics 0 to xsltproc, regardless of whether
icons are enabled or not. Reported by Michael Wild:

8. Version 8.6.1 (2010-08-22)
Additions and changes
* a2x: --resource-dir option renamed to --resource.
* a2x: --resource option accepts both file and directory names.
* a2x: Added -m,--resource-manifest option.
* Added Vim syntax highlighting for quote attribute lists.
* Load asciidoc.conf from all configuration directories before any
other configuration files. This ensures that attributes used for
conditional inclusion are set before backend configuration files
are processed. Previously if you wanted to control global conf file
inclusion your only choice was to modify the global asciidoc.conf
file.
* AsciiDoc Quote element attributes have been simplified and
generalized — positional color and size attributes and named role
attribute have been replaced by a single positional attribute.
Bug fixes
* FIXED: testasciidoc.py: BACKEND command argument was being ignored.
* FIXED: Broken docinfo file functionality in html4 and xhtml11
backends (previously the docinfo file was included in the body
instead of the header).
8.1. Regression issues
This release breaks compatibility with quoted element positional color
and size attributes (HTML backends). To revert to the deprecated quote
behavior define the deprecated-quotes attribute in the global
asciidoc.conf file or on the command-line. For a more detailed
explanation of the rationale behind this change see
[82]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/b22603
bfb879418c.
__________________________________________________________________
9. Version 8.6.0 (2010-08-16)
Additions and changes
* The AsciiDoc distribution can now be built “out of the box” from
the distribution tarball or the Mercurial repository (provided you
have the requisite build applications installed).
* The global configuration files directory is ignored by both
asciidoc and a2x if AsciiDoc configuration files are installed in
the same directory as the asciidoc executable. This change allows
both a system wide copy and multiple local copies of AsciiDoc to
coexist on the same host PC.
* CSS quirks mode is no longer the default xhtml11 output
([83]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/1
c02d27d49221aa2).
* Relaxed anchor ID name syntax
([84]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/5
f3e825c74ed30c).
* Added document files: doc/epub-notes.txt,
doc/publishing-ebooks-with-asciidoc.txt.
* a2x: If all other resource locations are exhausted then recursively
search directories named images and stylesheets in the asciidoc
configuration files directory.
* a2x: options can also be set in the AsciiDoc source file. If the
source file contains a line beginning with // a2x: then the
remainder of the line will be treated as a2x command-line options.
* Added dblatex table-width processing instruction — tables generated
by dblatex now observe the AsciiDoc table width as a percentage
(thanks to Gustav Broberg for suggesting this enhancement).
* a2x: Don’t exit if the --epubcheck option is set and epubcheck is
missing, issue warning and continue.
* Added a global plaintext attribute for dealing with large amounts
of imported text.
* The author name format has been relaxed, if the the author does not
match the formal specification then it is assigned to the firstname
attribute (previously asciidoc exited with an error message).
* FAQ and documentation updates.
* Refactored chunked.xsl and epub.xsl files.
* Exchanged article.epub for more relevant book.epub on website.
* Put asciidoc.epub User Guide on website.
* a2x: Chunking EPUB and HTML outputs set to a per chapter basis and
the first chapter is separate from preceding contents.
* Changed dates format in example article and books to suppress EPUB
validation error.
* Added style and role CSS classes to xhtml11 section templates.
* Added the role element to xhtml11 backend block templates.
* Suppressed md5 module deprecation warning from music and Graphviz
filters.
* Pygments ([85]http://pygments.org/) option added to source code
highlight filter. Based on Pygments source code filter written by
David Hajage
([86]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/d
8d042f5a3021369/8934ebbb8cb7144b).
* xhtml11: Added a new theme (volnitsky). Written and contributed by
Leonid V. Volnitsky.
* xhtml11: Set body element class name to document type.
* Added refentryinfo element and contents (including revdate) to man
page DocBook output. Man pages are now dated using the revdate
attribute value if it has been defined. Based on patch supplied by
Rainer Muller
[87]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/319e5
cd94493e330/3fcb83fab067af42.
* Added {template:...} system attribute.
* Table of contents attribute toc can now be specified in the
document header.
* Reimplemented music and latex filter -m option functionality when
the input is stdin using MD5 checksums.
* Added latex filter.
* Added auto file name generation to image generating filters
(latex,music, graphviz).
* Added counter2 and set2 system attributes (to implement image auto
file name generation).
* Undefined attribute in filter command generates error but does not
exit.
* Attribute substitution proceeds from start line to end line
(previously was in reverse order which was really confusing).
* Tidied up music filter code:
+ Format option is optional and default to abc unless Lilypond
notation detected.
+ The -m option does not apply to stdin input.
* Added paragraph styles to music and graphviz filters.
* Documented dynamic template names. 753: Graphviz filter can now
generate SVG format images. Patch submitted by Elmo Todurov, see:
[88]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/fe9b3
3d8f5f1e0af The xhtml11 SVG Graphviz template marked EXPERIMENTAL.
No SVG support for other backends.
* AsciiDoc template names can now contain embedded attribute
references.
* Added legalnotice tag to doc/article-docinfo.xml example.
* xhtml11 backend: Callouts and callout lists display callout icons
when the icons attribute is defined. See
[89]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/8eda3
ea812968854
* Document attribute names are case insensitive everywhere, this
makes using attribute entries more consistent e.g. previously
:VERS: had to be refered to
* Hungarian translation of footer-text (submitted by Miklos Vajna).
See
[90]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/7174c
b7598993c72#
* asciidocapi.py 0.1.2: Can now load AsciiDoc script named asciidoc.

paragraph were mistakenly seen as starting with an inline literal.
See
[94]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/219c8
6ae25b79a21
* FIXED: localtime and doctime attributes calculated incorrect
daylight saving / non daylight saving timezones and consequently so
did HTML footers. Patch submitted by Slawomir Testowy. See
[95]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/af652

aligned. Submitted by Lionel Orry. See
[98]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/2ff80
2547b6a75ea
* FIXED: Filter execution now occurs prior to filter markup template
substitution to ensure image data URI encoding happens after image
generation (see
[99]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/14
e8fcb289a135b).
* FIXED: The section numbers no longer increment when the numbered
attribute is undefined (see
[100]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/f
aa36e9e5c7da019/d24cab3fe363e58d).

bd175778f5ea
* Added ./tests/data/lang-pt-BR-test.txt file to the repository.
* xhtml11: Verse block and verse paragraph content enveloped in a pre
tag (instead of a div) so it renders better in text-only browsers.
See:
[104]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/1b6b
66adb24e710
* User Guide: Clarified Passthrough Blocks (suggested by Simon
Ruderich).

* FAQ errata and updates (submitted by Simon Ruderich).
* User Guide errata.
* Simplified asciidoc-toc processing instruction and included lists
of figures, tables, examples and equations in books (i.e. revert to

[106]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/50b2
8f6941de111a
* CSS tweaks so that tables processed by DocBook XSL Stylesheets have
the default asciidoc xhtml11 backend styling. See
[107]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/dfe5
204d5b2c9685
* Block titles take precedence over section titles to avoid titled
delimited blocks being mistaken for two line section titles (see

__________________________________________________________________
12. Version 8.5.1 (2009-10-31)
Additions and changes

* Added Brazilian Portuguese language configuration file (contributed
by Thiago Farina).
* Added leveloffset attribute to make it easier to combine documents.
Bug fixes

asciidoc-dblatex.xsl params can be overridden. Patch submitted by
Mark Fernandes (see
[115]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/5215
c99dcc865e7d).
* FIXED: An error occurred if a directory in current path with same
name as executable.
12.1. Regression issues
There’s been quite a bit of tiding up to the xhtml11 JavaScript. The
most obvious change is that the toc.js script has been superceded by
asciidoc-xhtml11.js so if you’re linking you’ll need get a copy of the
new file from the distribution javascripts directory.
If you use customised xhtml11 configuration file [header] and [footer]
sections and you want them to use the new footnotes feature then you’ve
got a bit more work to do:
1. The onload event expression changed.
2. The new <div id="content">...</div> div envelopes document content.
3. You need to add <div id="footnotes">...</div> div to the
[footnotes] section for footnotes to work.
4. Drop the ifdef::toc[] macro that surround JavaScript inclusion.
Take a look at the [header] and [footer] changes in the xhtml11.conf
diff to see what’s going on:

with the new table align attribute.
* Added breakable and unbreakable options to AsciiDoc example and
block image elements.
* [miscellaneous] section entries now update properly when set from a
document AttributeEntry.
* [miscellaneous] section pagewidth entry accepts fractional values.
* Fractional column widths are now calculated correctly when using
fractional pageunits (DocBook tables).
* Use DocBook XSL table width processing instructions.
* asciidoc KeyboardInterrupt exits with error code 1.
* Added set system attribute to allow attributes to be set from
configuration file templates.
* Allow constrained quotes to be bounded on the left by a colons and
semicolons, see
[117]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/b276
a927fdc87995
* Titled listing and literal blocks (DocBook outputs) no longer
default to examples. See
[118]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/f4df
7c9eec01a9bd
* Updated language file table, figure and example captions to
accommodate new auto-numbering in html4 and xhtml11 backends.
* Titled source highlight filter listings generated by docbook
backend are now rendered as examples. See
[119]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/f4df
7c9eec01a9bd
* Implemented counter system attribute.
* Use counter system attributes to number titled tables and block

[120]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/d299
24043e21cb6a.
* Added max-width attribute to the xhtml11 backend to set maximum
display width. See
[121]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/74d9
a542b79ccd50.
* Added a2x.py, a rewritten and much enhanced version of the old a2x
bash script.
* The new a2x can output EPUB formatted documents.
* Added --safe option and deprecated --unsafe option. Patch submitted
by Todd Zullinger. See
[122]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/ea3a
8ea399ae5d2a and
[123]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/69b3
183fdab7c6a5
* Added CHECK and TEST todo highlight words to Vim syntax
highlighter.
* Line breaks, page breaks, and horizontal rulers are now processed
by dblatex, thanks to a patch submitted by Mark Fernandes
([124]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/a25
4cf949ea7c6c5).
* Allow footnote macros hard up against the preceding word so the
rendered footnote mark can be placed against the noted text without
an intervening space (patch submitted by Stas Bushuev,
[125]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/e1dc
b7ee0efc17b5).
* Normalized path in safe_filename function (submitted by Todd
Zullinger,
[126]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/69b3
183fdab7c6a5).
* The Asciidoc numbered and toc attributes cause DocBook outputs to
include asciidoc-numbered and asciidoc-toc processing instructions,
these are used by DocBook XSL to include section numbering and
table of contents (like Asciidoc HTML backends). For backward
compatibility both numbered and toc attributes are defined by
default when the docbook backend is used. See
[127]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/1bad
ad21ff9447ac.
* data-uri attribute is now evaluated dynamically and can be set in
document body (previously could only be set from command-line).
* Added sys3 and eval3 system attributes to passthrough generated
output, this fixes the data-uri inline image problem:
[128]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/a42d
b6bc54c2c537.
* Missing language file generates a warning instead of an error.
* Updated Spanish language file (updates contributed by Gustavo
Andrés Gómez Farhat).
Bug fixes

(rather than replace) configuration file options.
* FIXED: Comment blocks and comment block macros no longer consume
preceding block titles and attribute lists.
* FIXED: examples/website/layout1.conf and
examples/website/layout2.conf TOC problem. Submitted by Mark
(burtoogle). See
[129]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/b9c6
3be67dd1d11c
* FIXED: Only the first occurrence of passthrough macro was
substituted. Patch submitted by Peter Johnson. See
[130]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/1269
dc2feb1a482c
* FIXED: asciidoc now runs on Jython 2.5.0.
* FIXED: Wordpress margins and pads in a number of block elements
([131]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_frm/thread/36f
f073c79cbc20a).
13.1. Regression issues
* Tables generated by dblatex occupy 100% of the available space
regardless of the width attribute setting. To restore width
behavior change the pageunits miscellaneous parameter to pt. You
can do this from the command-line with the -a pageunits=pt option.
See [132]DocBook table widths.
__________________________________________________________________
14. Version 8.4.5 (2009-05-24)
Additions and changes
* Added manpage Name and Synopsis section title customization to
languages configuration files.
* Synopsis manpage section no longer mandatory.
* Section markup templates can be specified by setting the title’s
first positional attribute or template attribute.

remark.
* A role attribute can now be applied to block elements. This adds
the role attribute to DocBook elements. Patch submitted by
[133]Noah Slater).

consistent revnumber and revdate (old names deprecated but still
recognized).
* Moved backend specific attributes to Appendix H in User Guide.
* Renamed and generalized the docbook backend revision history
inclusion mechanism to docinfo to reflect the use of all article or
book information elements. The old revision history names still
work but have been deprecated.
* Refactored docbook.conf headers.
* Moved line break replacement from [replacements] to [replacements2]
so the replacement occurs after the mailto macro. This fixes bug
[134]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/4
bdcdfb0af773e2
* The typewriter to punctuation apostrophe replacement can be escaped
with a backslash.
* Graphviz filter outputs images to imagesdir if it is defined.
* Made the block image macro generic so that it can be used for
filter outputs. As a result Music and Graphviz filters:
+ Have been greatly simplified.
+ Honor the data-uri attribute.
+ html4 outputs no longer generate W3C validation warning.
* The iconsdir attribute no longer requires a trailing directory
separator character.
* Removed borders around linked html4 images.
* Added html4 specific HTML output for music filter.
* a2x: Added --unsafe option (shortcut for --asciidoc-opts=--unsafe).
* a2x: The FOP executable can now be named fop (this is the default
name in some distributions).
* Attributes are now substituted in the system macro attribute list.
* If the output is set to stdout (i.e. no output directory is
defined) then Music and Graphviz filters will output included
images to the source file directory.
* Added name directive to testasciidoc.
* Added lots of testasciidoc new tests.
* Moved language specific configuration parameters into lang-en.conf
file.
* lang attribute entry can be specified in the AsciiDoc source file
(preceding the header).

Artem Zolochevskiy.
* Added Hungarian language config file (lang-hu.conf) contributed by
Miklos Vajna.
Bug fixes
* FIXED: Multiple manpage names are now handled correctly when
generating DocBook output, each name now generates a separate
DocBook <refname> element. See
[135]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/c
93bb4db025225d8
* FIXED: A problem that caused AttributeEntries preceding the header
to be overwritten when the language conf file loaded.
* FIXED: Possible inline macro name ambiguity e.g. link matches
olink.
* FIXED: The documented macro definition deletion behavior had been
broken for a long time.
* FIXED: Email addresses not recognized when followed by a period
character.
* FIXED: Hyphens in mailto macros can delimit nested addresses e.g.
bloggs@mail was processed inside
mailto:joe-bloggs@mail-server.com[Mail].
* FIXED: User name in FTP URI generated incorrect FTP link. See
[136]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/1
d796a9c9ddb2855
* FIXED: Source highlighter now works with Wordpress backend (see
[137]http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/6
d8c716748b109e3).
14.1. Regression issues
1. A colon following the date in the AsciiDoc header is treated as a
revision remark delimiter — this could be an issue if you have used
a colon in the header date.
__________________________________________________________________
15. Version 8.4.4 (2009-04-26)
Additions and changes
* Added table column and row spanning.
* Table styles can now be applied per cell.
* Vertical cell alignment can be applied to columns and individual
cells.
* Added table align attribute to set horizontal alignment for entire
table.
* Included Geoff Eddy’s update of the experimental LaTeX backend.
* A new attribute named trace controls the output of diagnostic
information. If the trace attribute is defined then
element-by-element diagnostic messages detailing output markup
generation are printed to stderr.
* Added literal paragraph style (allows literal style to be applied
to normal paragraphs).
* Deleted unused replacements2 from xhtml11.conf.
* Added replacements2 to default substitutions.
* testasciidoc.py: messages to stdout, only diffs to stderr.
* Added transparency to smallnew.png image.
Bug fixes
* All combinations of leading comments and attribute entries at the
start of a document are now skipped correctly.
* FIXED: ./configure doesn’t support --docdir as expected (patch
submitted by Artem Zolochevskiy)
* FIXED: Constrained quotes were incorrectly matched across line
boundaries e.g. the string +\nabc+ incorrectly matched a monospace
quote.
__________________________________________________________________
16. Version 8.4.3 (2009-04-13)
Additions and changes
* DocBook outputs default to DocBook version 4.5 doctype (previously
4.2).
* Configuration file [specialsections] definitions can be undefined
by setting their configuration entry values blank.
* The Makefile install target depends on the all target to ensure
pre-install patches are applied.
* testasciidoc.py now emits user friendly messages if:
1. the configuration file is missing.
2. an illegal backend is specified.
3. an illegal test number is specified.
Bug fixes
* Fixed [138]missing template section error.
* The testasciidoc.py --force option no longer deletes test data
files that were not specified.
* Dropped second quotes substitution in table cells — it had
effectively disabled quote escaping in table cells.
__________________________________________________________________
17. Version 8.4.2 (2009-03-19)
Additions and changes
* Added [139]testasciidoc, a tool to verify AsciiDoc conformance.
* A warning is issued if nested inline passthroughs are encountered.
* asciidocapi: setting an attribute value to None will undefine
(delete) the attribute (this in addition to the name! attribute
name format that the asciidoc(1) command uses).
__________________________________________________________________
18. Version 8.4.1 (2009-03-10)
Additions and changes
* AsciiDoc now has a [140]Python API. The following minimal example
compiles mydoc.txt to mydoc.html:
from asciidocapi import AsciiDocAPI asciidoc = AsciiDocAPI()
asciidoc.execute('mydoc.txt')
* Backtick quoting for monospaced text is now implemented as an
inline literal passthrough. This makes more sense since monospace
text is usually intended to be rendered literally. See
[141]Regression issues below for the impact this may have on
existing documents. Here are some examples that would previously
have had to be escaped:
The `++i` and `++j` auto-increments.
Paths `~/.vim` and `~/docs`.
The `__init__` method.
The `{id}` attribute.
* Added --doctest option to asciidoc(1) command.
* Added an optional second argument to BlockId element, this sets the
{reftext} attribute which in turn is used to set the xreflabel
attribute in DocBook elements.
* Added lists to --help syntax summary.
* {infile} and {indir} attributes reflect the current input file
(previously always referred to the root document).
* {docfile} (new) and {docdir} (previously deprecated) attributes
refer to the root document specified on the asciidoc(1)
command-line.
* Vim syntax highlighter improvements.
* Syntax summary command (asciidoc -h syntax) additions.
* Admonition icons now have transparent backgrounds.
* Changed yellow W3C badges to blue ones in page footers.
Bug fixes
* Dropped asciidoc(1) broken undocumented --profile option.
* Em dash replacement now recognized at start of block.
18.1. Regression issues
Replacing backtick quoting with the inline literal passthrough raises
two regression scenarios for existing documents:
1. You have escaped the expansion of enclosed inline elements, for
example: \{id}. You would need to delete the backslashes: {id} (if
you don’t the backslashes will be printed). Mostly it’s just a case
of interactively finding and replacing of all occurrences of `\.
2. There are enclosed inline elements, for example: some *bold*
monospaced. You would need to switch to plus character monospace
quoting: +some *bold* monospaced+ (if you don’t the enclosed
elements won’t be expanded).
If your existing documents include these cases and you don’t want to
upgrade then use the -a no-inline-literal command-line option,
alternatively put this in ~/.asciidoc/asciidoc.conf:
[attributes]
no-inline-literal=
__________________________________________________________________
19. Version 8.3.5 (2009-02-02)
Additions and changes
* Cached compiled regular expression delimiters (speed up User Manual
compilation by 250%).
* Created distinct list definitions for each numbered list style to
allow nesting of all styles.
* Roman numbers in numbered lists are followed by a closing
parenthesis instead of a period to eliminate i, v, x item ambiguity
with respect to alpha numbered list items.
* Added **, ***, ****, ***** bulleted lists.
* Added ..., ...., ..... implicit numbered lists.
* Added :::, :::: labeled lists.
* Updated User Guide for new list syntaxes.
* Optimized paragraph and list termination detection with separate
precompiled regular expressions for performance and to prevent
reaching Python 100 named group limit.
* Updated Vim syntax highlighter for new list syntaxes.
* Allow template::[] macros in conf file entries sections (not just
in template sections).
* Dropped unused [listdef-numbered2] conf file sections.
* Renamed ListBlock to more appropriate OpenBlock.
* Implemented single-line versions of ifdef::[] and ifndef::[]
macros.
* html4 backend styling:
+ Underlined admonition captions.
+ Added side border to Example Blocks.
* xhtml11 backend styling:
+ Dropped right hand margin from all but quote and verse blocks.
+ html4 backend: corrected over-sized width of caption in
admonition block.
Bug fixes
* Fixed broken numbered list nesting.
19.1. Compatibility issues
The roman numbered list parenthesis syntax is incompatible with the
potentially ambiguous roman period syntax introduced in 8.3.2.
__________________________________________________________________
20. Version 8.3.4 (2009-01-20)
Additions and changes
* Implemented a title float style. A floating title (or bridgehead)
is rendered just like a normal section but is not formally
associated with a text body and is not part of the regular section
hierarchy so the normal ordering rules do not apply.
* Implemented inline comment macro so comment lines can now appear
inside block elements.
* Comment lines are sent to the output if the showcomments attribute
is defined (comment blocks are never sent to the output).
* Single quoting attribute values in AttributeList elements causes
them to be substituted like normal inline text (without single
quoting only attribute substitution is performed).
* Rewrote list item processing (was very crufty). List continuation
and list blocks now work as expected. Updated and clarified list
documentation in User Guide.
* The revision attribute now recognizes the RCS $Id$ marker format.
* An RCS $Id$ marker formatted revision line in the header does not
need to be preceded by an author line.
* If an RCS $Id$ formatted revision is specified and the author name
has not already been set then the author name in the $Id$ marker
will be used.
* Updated Gouichi Iisaka’s Graphviz filter to version 1.1.3.
* Added autowidth table attribute option for (X)HTML outputs.
* DocBook backend now puts orgname optional attribute in DocBook
header.
* Deprecated undocumented companyname attribute in favor of DocBook’s
corpname.
* Removed explicit closing backslash from HTML4 self-closing tags to
comply with WC3 recommendation.
Bug fixes
* Fixed 8.3.3 regression whereby adjacent lists with the same syntax
but different list styles were incorrectly treated as a single
list.
__________________________________________________________________
21. Version 8.3.3 (2009-01-02)
This release supersedes 8.3.2.
Bug fixes
* The broken and confusing numeration and numeration2 numbered list
attributes have been dropped, use the style attribute instead.
__________________________________________________________________
22. Version 8.3.2 (2009-01-01)
Additions and changes
* Added Gouichi Iisaka’s Graphviz filter to distribution.
* The SidebarBlock element can now be rendered with an abstract
style.
* Reorganized filters into a separate subdirectory for each filter.
* Updated Makefile.in and MANIFEST files to reflect new filters
organization.
* Added listing style to LiteralBlock element so listings with nested
listing blocks can be rendered as a listing block.
* Changed example code filter to use preferred ListingBlock syntax
(the old ~ delimited filter syntax is no longer used).
* Implemented enumeration and enumeration2 numbered list attributes
for specifying the list numbering style (arabic, loweralpha,
upperalpha, lowerroman and upperroman).
* AsciiDoc now recognizes upperalpha, lowerroman and upperroman
numbers in listdef-numbered2 numbered lists and sets the number
style based on the style of the first numbered list item
(alternative to setting enumeration2 attribute).
* Updated formatlistpat definition in .vimrc example in User Guide.
* You can now backslash escape system block macros.
* Added Pychart FAQ.
* Drop paragraph text and list text, index and label match groups
from attributes — they are included in the element’s text and we
don’t want them processed a second time as attributes.
* Changed comment line block macro to a passthrough block macro to
ensure no substitutions.
* A subslist no longer has to be appended to a PassthroughBlock macro
definition, if omitted no substitutions are performed.
* Code tidy up: replaced deprecated <> operator with !=.
* Removed unused linuxdoc code.
* Code tidy ups: dropped old types module reference; replaced
has_key() with preferred in operator.
Bug fixes
* Old syntax source highlight filter regression: special characters
where not escaped in DocBook outputs.
__________________________________________________________________
23. Version 8.3.1 (2008-12-14)
Additions and changes
* Replaced the install.sh script with Ben Walton’s updated autoconf
scripts — see [142]INSTALL for details.
* Added a generalized AttributeEntry syntax to allow arbitrary
configuration file entries to be set from within an AsciiDoc
document (suggested by Henrik Maier).
* Listing delimited blocks in DocBook outputs now support IDs; IDs of
titled Listing and Literal delimited blocks have been moved to the
enclosing DocBook example tag (thanks to Vijay Kumar for this
patch).
* Replaced vertical typewriter apostrophe with punctuation apostrophe
(thanks to Noah Slater).
Bug fixes
* Regression: Excluding double-quotes from unquoted attribute values
resulted in backward incompatibility, double-quotes in unquoted
attribute values has been reinstated.
* Regression: Text like &...; was sometimes mistaken for an entity
reference — tightened up entity reference matching.
__________________________________________________________________
24. Version 8.3.0 (2008-11-29)
Additions and changes
* [143]AsciiDoc new tables is a complete redesign of the tables
syntax and generation. The new syntax and features are a huge
improvement over the old tables. The old tables syntax has been
deprecated but is currently still processed.
* [144]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.
* 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 [145]passthrough macros along with
asciimath and latexmath [146]passthrough blocks provide a (backend
dependent) mechanism for rendering mathematical formulas. There are
[147]LaTeX Math, [148]AsciiMathML and [149]LaTeXMathML examples on
the AsciiDoc website.
* Reimplemented and cleaned up filter processing based on a patch
submitted by Kelly Anderson. Uses the newer subprocess module
instead of the deprecated popen2 module. Now works in Win32 command
shell.
* Addition FAQs, more documentation updates.
* Arbitrary HTML/XML entities can be entered in AsciiDoc source.
* Did away with the need for the shaded-literallayout.patch (thanks
to Henrik Maier for this patch).
* Implemented page break block macro.
* Added line breaks and ruler processing instructions to DocBook
outputs (thanks to Henrik Maier for this patch).
* Added deg (degree) and wj (word joiner) entity attributes (thanks
to Henrik Maier).
* Tweaked DocBook indexterm2 macro to avoid white space preceding the
term when used in table cells (thanks to Henrik Maier for this
patch).
* Title elements now process the options attribute like other block
elements.
* Added ‘single quoted’ element.
* Spaces on both sides of a — em-dash are translated to thin space
characters.
* Improved detection and reporting of malformed attribute lists.
* The list compact style is now a list option.
* Added strong labeled list option which makes the labels bold (HTML
outputs only).
* Dropped unsupported linuxdoc backend.
* Dropped deprecated xhtml-deprecated (version 6) backend.
* Added breakable and unbreakable attribute options to tables to
control table breaking across page boundaries (DocBook XSL/FO
outputs). By and in collaboration with Henrik Maier.
* Added pgwide attribute option to tables to table, block image,
horizontal labeled lists. Specifies that the element should be
rendered across the full text width of the page irrespective of the
current indentation (DocBook XSL/FO outputs). Thanks to Henrik
Maier for this patch.
* Vim syntax highlighter: spaces before/after bullets no longer
highlighted (which is ugly if using a theme that highlights with
underlines). Thanks to Donald Chai for this patch.
* Added a2x(1) --fop option.
* Added a2x(1) --no-xmllint option.
* Highlighted labelled list terms with the navy color in XHTML
outputs.
* Use w3m(1) as default a2x(1) text format generator (fallback to
lynx(1)).
* Changed callout formats in html4 and xhtml11 outputs to angle
brackets to match source highlighter rendering.
* Macros now inject user defined <optionname>-option attributes into
markup.
* Added IRC URLs to AsciiDoc inline macros.
* Added depth attribute to include::[] system macro.
* Added footnoteref inline macro.
* Added stylesheet XHTML attribute to specify additional custom CSS
stylesheet.
* If a paragraph style is specified it will be added to the XHTML
class attribute and DocBook role attribute.
* Replacements can be set in a document using the reserved
AttributeEntry name replacement.
* The prefix for auto-generated section name IDs can be set with the
idprefix attribute.
Bug fixes
* Escaped quote skipped over leading and trailing quote instead of
just the leading quote.
* Fixed bug that was causing false negative safe mode warnings (patch
submitted by Julien Palmas).
* Placed priority of AttributeEntry, AttributeList and BlockTitle
above Title. This ensures an AttributeEntry, AttributeList or
BlockTitle followed by a same length leading ListingBlock delimiter
is not mistaken for a two-line title.
* Vim syntax highlighter: fixed multi-line quoted text.
* Contstrained quote termination after non-space character enforced.
* Vim syntax highlighter: unterminated quoted text is no longer
highlighted.
* Vim syntax highlighter: passthroughs now exactly match AsciiDoc
semantics.
* Vim syntax highlighter: escaped quoted text, attribute references
and inline macros are not highlighted.
* Vim syntax highlighter: TODO’s highlighted in CommentBlocks (thanks
to Scott Wall); non-greedy $$...$$.
* Vim syntax highlighter: Comment lines mistaken for vertical list
labels (thanks to Scott Wall).
* Vim syntax highlighter: Single unmatched $$ mistakenly highlighted
remaining text (patch contributed by Scott Wall).
* Callouts now work in source highlighted listing generated by
dblatex.
* Fixed exception that occured if undefined attribute was present in
filter command.
* AttributeList block can now follow a paragraph without intervening
blank line.
* The include macro tabsize attribute is no longer propagated to
nested includes.
Omissions
The following features were implemented but then but removed from this
release:
* pi, cdata and comment passthrough macros and passthrough block
styles (creeping featurism, use pass macros instead).
* Generic tag inline macro (creeping featurism, use pass macros
instead).
24.1. Compatibility issues
Version 8.3.0 has a number of backward incompatibilities with respect
to the previous 8.2.7 release:
* The old table syntax is still processed but a DEPRECATED warning is
issued.
* Entity references have to be escaped with a backslash.
* You have to explicitly precede horizontal style labeled lists with
the [horizontal] style attribute — by default all labeled lists are
rendered vertically.
* The list compact style has been dropped and is now a list option
(use options="compact" in attribute lists).
* AsciiDoc version 6 sytnax no longer supported.
* Linuxdoc been removed from the distribution.
* The unsupported experimental latex backend has not been tested on
this release.
* The introduction of single-quote quoting requires that double-quote
quoting is escaped with two backslashes.
__________________________________________________________________
25. Version 8.2.7 (2008-07-04)
Additions and changes
* Added dvi, ps and tex output format options to a2x(1).
* Added --dblatex option to a2x(1) so dblatex(1) can be used to
generate PDFs.
* Added custom dblatex(1) configuration files (in distribution
./dblatex directory) that are used by a2x(1).
* dblatex(1) is now used to generate the distributed PDF version of
the AsciiDoc User Guide.
* If you don’t need a customized the link caption you can enter the
http, https, ftp, file URLs and email addresses without any special
macro syntax — you get the links by just cutting and pasting URLs
and emails addresses. This also makes it easier to open links
directly form AsciiDoc source ( most editors allow you to open URLs
directly). The Vim syntax highlighter has been updated to reflect
these changes.
* Highlighted source code paragraphs have been implemented — it’s a
much more convenient way to enter short code examples (see [150]the
online docs).
* The source highlighter and music filter syntax has changed — they
now used the ListingBlock syntax customized with source and music
style attribute values. This follows the Paragraph styling
convention introduced by the source paragraph (previous item) and
is easier to read. The old syntax still works but has been
deprecated.
* QuoteBlocks now have a verse style — you no longer have to nest a
verse LiteralBlock inside a QuoteBlock for verses. The verse style
on the LiteralBlock has been deprecated (still works though) and
the style attribute is positional attribute 1, pushing attribution
and citetitle attributes to the right (you’ll need to insert a
quote attribute into your existing QuoteBlocks).
* It is no up to the DocBook processor to highlight source code
syntax in <programlisting> elements rather than GNU Highlighter —
this is the correct way to handle it, plus dblatex(1) makes a much
better job.
* scaledwidth and align attributes have been added to the image
macro. They apply to DocBook outputs (specifically for PDF
documents). scaledwidth sets the image size as a percent of the
available page width; align applies left, center or right
horizontal image justification.
* Added a2x(1) --fop-opts=FOP_OPTS option (patch submitted by Miklos
Vajna).
* Added a2x(1) --dblatex-opts=DBLATEX_OPTS option.
* Added Mikhail Yakshin’s FOP 0.95 patch which fixes a long-standing
fo.xsl problem and allows PDF’s to be generated with FOP 0.95
(previously had to use FOP 0.20.5).
* The User Guide has been updated and outdated FOP configuration and
installation sections removed.
Bug fixes
* Fixed stylesheets/xhtml11-manpage.css not being included when
linkcss attribute was used.
* Configuration file *-style attributes are now dumped correctly.
* Fixed FAILED: malformed section entry LaTeX backend error.
See the also the [151]AsciiDoc repository changelog.
__________________________________________________________________
26. Version 8.2.6 (2008-04-29)
Additions and changes
* Enhancements to the Vim AsciiDoc syntax highlighter, for example,
quoted text is now highlighted in titles and macro captions.
* If you define the data-uri intrinsic attribute images referenced by
image macros will be embedded in XHTML using the [152]data: URI
scheme. NOTE: Microsoft browser support for the data: URI scheme is
currently limited to MSIE 8 beta 1.
* Added toc-title attribute to allow custom table of contents titles.
* Added references to Alex Efros’s AsciiDoc Cheatsheet to AsciiDoc
website.
* asciidoc(1) and a2x(1) man pages formatted to conform to
man-pages(7) recommendations.
* Old code-filter syntax (pre-8.1.0) is no longer recognized so that
malformed two-line level 2 titles are no longer confused with
code-filter block delimiters.
* Added → ← ⇒ ⇐ arrow replacements from the Arrows block of Unicode.
* Added DocBook refentry lang attribute — patch contributed by
VMiklos.
* AttributeEntry names can now be numeric (“named macro targets”).
* Hide Table of Contents title if Table of Contents empty — patch
contributed by Alex Efros.
* Various XHTML CSS tweaks.
* Code cleanup:
+ Replaced realpath() with Python 2.2 os.path.realpath() library
function.
+ Replaced old string library functions with string methods.
+ Use file generators instead of readlines().
+ Renamed entities that shadowed builtins.
+ Standardized string quoting.
+ Dropped readlines() function.
Bug fixes
* Fixed broken CSS for decimal ordered lists nested in alpha ordered
list, thanks to Alex Efros.
* A missing closing block delimiter now reports the opening delimiter
line number instead of the end of file line number.
* Fixed an error generated by the asciidoc -e option when there are
no block definitions — patch contributed by Alejandro Mery.
* Handle both \r\n (as well as \n) line separators that may be
returned by {sys} attribute evaluation.
* Numbered attribute names no longer interfere with positional
attribute list values.
__________________________________________________________________
27. Version 8.2.5 (2007-11-18)
Bug fixes
* Fixed exception thrown by illegal command-line arguments.
* Rolled back the with warning bug fix introduced in 8.2.4 — it was
incompatible with Python <2.5.
__________________________________________________________________
28. Version 8.2.4 (2007-11-10)
Additions and changes
* You can now use the lang attribute to set the DocBook language
attribute.
* Attribute values can now contain attribute references.
* If the lang attribute is defined then configuration files named
like lang-<lang>.conf will be loaded automatically.
* The help file name help-<lang>.conf is based on the AsciiDoc lang
attribute, defaults to help.conf (English).
* Admonition, figure and table captions have been factored into a
predefined set of caption_* attributes. They only apply to directly
generated (X)HTML outputs (DocBook stylesheets generate their own
language specific captions based on the lang attribute).
* Dropped platform dependent doc/asciidoc.chm file from distribution
documentation formats.
Bug fixes
* The spurious warning with will become a reserved keyword in Python
2.6 has been suppressed.
__________________________________________________________________
29. Version 8.2.3 (2007-09-12)
Additions and changes
* Added VMiklos’s permalink patch for auto-generated section IDs
(enabled by default by the sectids attribute).
* Added [153]FAQ to website.
* Changed format of {localdate} attribute to ISO 8601 (%Y-%m-%d).
* Added abc2ly --beams=None option to make music2png.py conform to
ABC’s notion of beams.
* XHTML level 2 section headings are now styled with an underlining
border.
* XHTML links to AsciiDoc title elements are now implemented with
title ID attributes (previously separate <a> element targets were
generated.
* Multi-word first, middle and last names can be entered in the
header author line using the underscore as a word separator.
* The nested inline macros restriction has now been lifted, for
example you can now include links and inline images inside
footnotes.
* Help topic names can be shortened (so long as they are not
ambiguous). For example asciidoc -hm will print the AsciiDoc man
page.
* Added {two_colons} and {two_semicolons} attributes for escaping
labeled list ambiguity.
* If quirks mode is disabled the XHTML Mime Type is set to the
recommended application/xhtml+xml (rather than text/html).
Bug fixes
* Author information is now correctly set when using attribute
entries in the header instead of an author line (previously the
author attribute was not being calculated correctly and there were
attribute substitution problems).
__________________________________________________________________
30. Version 8.2.2 (2007-07-22)
Additions and changes
* [154]LaTeXMathML capability has been added for users who are more
familiar with or prefer LaTeX math formulas to the [155]ASCIIMathML
notation (thanks to Arthur Sakellariou for the patch).
* The source highlight and code filters now process embedded
callouts.
* Added an --attribute=ATTRIBUTE option to a2x(1) for passing
attribute values to asciidoc(1) (a shortcut for --asciidoc-opts="-a
ATTRIBUTE").
* Image block and inline macros prepend optional {imagesdir}
attribute to image link targets.
Bug fixes
* Fixed an assertion error that occurred when a configuration file
containing an include::[] macro was loaded using the --conf-file
option and the configuration file name did not include an explicit
directory path — patch submitted by Dmitry Potapov.
* Asciidoc titles are only converted to lower case if all characters
are upper case otherwise case is left unchanged — patch submitted
by Dmitry Potapov.
* Added a missing check that input is not stdin before loading
configuration files from the document directory — patch submitted
by Dmitry Potapov.
* Attribute list items must evaluate to strings, numbers or None
(previously it was possible to evaluate to other object types which
resulted in surprising attribute values).
* If an AsciiDoc document has no title an empty XHTML 1.1 title
element is created — previously the title element was dropped which
resulted in invalid XHTML 1.1.
* The Vim syntax file no longer highlights escaped callouts.
* The Vim syntax highlighter now correctly highlights Double-dollar
passthroughs when they enclose dollar delimited ASCIIMathML and
LaTeXMathML formulas.
__________________________________________________________________
31. Version 8.2.1 (2007-04-06)
Additions and changes
* A number of improvements have been made to the Vim syntax
highlighter, for example the word C++ is no longer mistaken for the
start of an unconstrained monospace quote.
* Labeled list definitions have been tightened — a list label can no
longer containing trailing spaces. The following example is no
longer recognized as a valid list label:
Lorum ipsum
This change implements the originally intended behavior
(as per the AsciiDoc documentation and examples) so there
should be very few compatibility issues.
__________________________________________________________________
32. Version 8.2.0 (2007-04-04)
Additions and changes
* A Vim syntax file is now included in the AsciiDoc distribution
(inspired by Felix Obenhuber’s asciidoc.vim script). You can find
it (along with a Vim filetype detection script in the distribution
./vim/ directory (the scripts are installed automatically by the
AsciiDoc installer ./install.sh). See Appendix J of the AsciiDoc
User Guide for details.
* Added toclevel attribute (1..4) which sets the number of title
levels reported in the table of contents. Defaults to 2 and must be
used with the toc attribute. Example usage:
$ asciidoc -a toc -a toclevels=3 doc/asciidoc.txt
* Added a listindex attribute which is the current list item index
(1..). If this attribute appears outside a list its value is the
number of items in the most recently closed list.
* The single line titles syntax now accepts trailing suffixes — this
syntax matches the title line syntax of a number of popular Wiki
markups.
* If a QuoteBlock has no attribution or citetitle then the DocBook
<attribution> element is not generated (previously generated empty
<attribution> element).
* If the text of a labeled list item is blank then no texttag is
written.
* An end of line backslash performs line continuation for horizontal
labeled list items.
* The Revision line now accommodates Subversion $Id markers (in
addition to CVS and RCS markers). Thanks to Tiago Sturmer Daitx for
this patch.
* Implemented a2x(1) option --skip-asciidoc which allows a2x(1) to
convert DocBook XML files not derived from AsciiDoc sources.
* If a2x(1) --doctype option is not specified it defaults to manpage
if --format=manpage else defaults to article (previously --doctype
always defaulted to article).
* Added an External Resources section to the [156]AsciiDoc home page.
__________________________________________________________________
33. Version 8.1.0 (2006-10-22)
Additions and changes
* AsciiDoc generated XHTML documents now display a table of contents
if the toc attribute is defined (JavaScript needs to be enabled for
this to work). Thanks to Troy Hanson who contributed this feature
based on a JavaScript by Mihai Bazon. I’ve simplified things
somewhat to match Docbook XSL Stylesheets style, see Troy’s
[157]tpl User Guide for a fancier layout. Use the -a toc -a
numbered command-line options to produce a number table of
contents.
* A [158]music filter is included in the distribution ./filters/
directory. It translates music in [159]LilyPond or [160]ABC
notation to standard classical notation in the form of a trimmed
PNG image which is inserted into the AsciiDoc output document.
* Incorporated Paul Melis’s Win32 filter patch. This workaround
allows AsciiDoc to run filters under Windows.
* Added uninstall.sh script.
* Rather than proliferate a confusing number of filter block
delimiters the following convention has been adopted: delimiters
belonging to DelimitedBlock filters distributed with AsciiDoc will
consist of a word (normally a noun identifying the block content)
followed by four or more tilde characters. This has necessitated
changing existing filter delimiters (the old delimiters still work
but may be deprecated in future versions):
+ The example code filter block delimiter is now the word code
followed by four or more tilde characters.
+ The source highlight filter block delimiter is now the word
source followed by four or more tilde characters.
* Conditionally redefined subscript and superscripting so they use
the old replacements mechanism when asciidoc7compatible is defined
rather than the asciidoc 8 default unconstrained quoting (patch for
affected files attached).
* Moved the source highlight filter from ./examples/ to ./filter/.
* Added {verbose} intrinsic attribute (useful for passing verbose
flag to filters).
* Added {outdir} intrinsic attribute.
* Renamed {docdir} intrinsic attribute to unambiguous {indir}
({docdir} still works but may be removed in future release).
* If asciidoc(1) outputs to stdout then intrinsic attribute {docname}
is extracted from the input file name.

34. Version 8.0.0 (2006-08-27)
This is a major release because changes to quoting and index entry
handling may break existing documents (see Additions and changes below
and Appendix A: Migration Notes in the AsciiDoc User Guide).
Please report any problems you encounter.
[161]Stuart Rackham
Additions and changes
* Quoting can can occur within words (based on patch submitted by
Benjamin Klum). See the Unconstrained Quotes sub-section in the
User Guide.
* The underline and plus characters can be used as alternatives to
the existing apostrophe and backtick quote characters. They are
arguably better choices than the apostrophe and backtick as they
are not confused with punctuation.
* The syntax for index entry macros have have been deprecated from
+...+ and ++...++ to ((...)) and (((...))) respectively. Rationale:
+ Bracketing is consistent other with [[...]] and <<...>>
reference macros.
+ To easily confused with triple plus passthroughs.
+ To make way for the new monospace quoting.
* Superscripts and subscripts are implemented as constrained quotes
so they can now be escaped with a leading backslash and prefixed
with with an attribute list.
* An experimental LaTeX backend has been written by Benjamin Klum (a
number additions in this release are to accommodate the LaTeX
backend).
* include macro file names now expand environment variables and tilde
expansions.
* A configuration file [quotes] entry can be undefined by setting to
a blank value.
* Added callto inline macro for Skype callto links.
* Added colnumber attribute for table data markup.
* A leading comment block or comment lines are now skipped
(previously a document had to start with either attribute entries
or a document Title).
* Experimental rows attribute (number of source lines in table)
available in table markup templates (used by experimental LaTeX
backend).
* Included install shell script written by [162]Jacob Mandelson for
installing the tarball distribution.
* Added INSTALL documentation file.
* Added replacements2 substitution options — a second replacements
section.
* Added the ability to redefine normal and verbatim substitutions
with subsnormal and subsverbatim entries in configuration file
[miscellaneous] section.
* By default AttributeEntry values are substituted for
specialcharacters and attributes, if you want a different
AttributeEntry substitution set the attributeentry-subs attribute.
* The name in name=value configuration file entries can now end with
a backslash, just escape the trailing backslash with a backslash.
For example:
abc\\=xyz
Results in name=abc\ and value=xyz — previously this would have
escaped the = character.
* A blank configuration file section deletes any preceding section
with the same name (applies to non-markup template sections).
* A command-line attribute value with a @ suffix does not override
existing document and configuration file attributes (normally
command-line attributes have precedence over document and
configuration file attributes).
* localtime attribute is now encoded from the native system encoding
to the output encoding. Patch submitted by [163]FKtPp — here’s his
description of the problem:
“I am a Chinese user of AsciiDoc and I find that when I use UTF-8
(the default encoding) to write asciidoc documents in Windows
platform the resulting html footer line will get screwed. It was
caused by a localized tzname that was always encoded in the windows
native encoding, which in my case is cp936.”
* a2x(1) can generate Open Document Text files using
[164]docbook2odf. Currently docbook2odf(1) only processes a subset
of DocBook, unimplemented elements are skipped.
* The a2x(1) format option defaults to xhtml (previously a format had
to be specified explicitly).
* The -d, \--doctype=DOCTYPE option has been added to a2x(1) which is
a shortcut for --asciidoc-options="--doctype=DOCTYPE".
* Replaced a2x(1) --no-icons and --no-copy options with their negated
equivalents: --icons and --copy respectively. The default behavior
has also changed: copying and use of icons is disabled by default.
Rationale:
+ To make the default behavior more consistent since use of
icons and CSS stylesheets does not apply to all formats.
+ To make the default behavior less surprising (the creation of
icon and stylesheet output files must now be explicit).
* a2x(1) has been bumped from version 0.1.1 to version 1.0.0.
Bug fixes
* Removed duplicate ./doc/a2x.1.txt from distribution tarball.
* Documentation errata.
* Attribute replacement is no longer performed twice in Titles and
AttributeEntrys.
* a2x(1) skipped asciidoc(1) execution when rerun with different
--asciidoc-options options, it now always executes asciidoc(1). The
problem was that previously asciidoc(1) was executed only if the
output file was missing or older than the source file.
__________________________________________________________________
35. Version 7.1.2 (2006-03-07)
Additions and changes
* Support for [165]ASCIIMathML has been added. See Appendix I:
ASCIIMathML Support in the User Guide and the examples at
[166]http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/asciimath.html.
* You can now prefix quoted text with inline attributes lists. You
can use this to set font size and color (XHTML and HTML outputs).
* Added ##...## quoting — it does nothing — it’s purpose is to allow
inline attributes to be applied to normal text.
* An inline passthrough mechanism has been implemented.
* Configuration file comment lines can be escaped with a backslash —
this is to allows the inclusion of configuration lines that start
with a hash character.
* The scriptsdir attribute can be used to specify the name of the
directory containing linked JavaScripts (see the [167]User Guide
for details.
* The BackendBlock has been renamed PassthroughBlock for consistency
with the new inline passthrough naming.
* a2x(1) now works with the older bash(1) version 2.05b. Patch
submitted by [168]Francis Daly.
* Content included by the include1::[] system macro is no longer
subject to attribute substitution so that ambiguities no longer
arise when used to include CSS or JavaScript files.
__________________________________________________________________
36. Version 7.1.1 (2006-02-24)
Additions and changes
* The caption attribute can be used to customize admonition captions
as well as image, table and example block element title prefixes
(xhtml11 and html4 backends).
* You can now override the default icon image using the icon
attribute to specify the path of the linked image (xhtml11 and
html4 backends only).
* The deprecated imagesdir attribute is no longer recognized (use
iconsdir instead).
* Added Appendix H: Using AsciiDoc with non-English Languages to the
AsciiDoc User Guide.
* Added Admonition Icons and Captions subsection to the User Guide
explaining how to customize Admonition elements.
Bug fixes
* a2x(1) failed when configuration files were installed in the global
/etc/asciidoc/ directory — it was only searching the directory
containing the asciidoc executable (thanks to Christian Wiese for
finding and submitting a patch this bug).
* The html4 backend admonition caption now correctly displays the
admonition caption attribute (previously displayed the style
attribute).
__________________________________________________________________
37. Version 7.1.0 (2006-01-13)
Additions and changes
* a2x(1) toolchain wrapper utility. This overcomes the biggest hurdle
for new users which seems to be assembling and using a working
DocBook XML toolchain. With a2x(1) you can generate XHTML (chunked
and unchunked), PDF, man page, HTML Help and text file outputs from
an AsciiDoc input file with a single command. All you need to
install (in addition to AsciiDoc) is xsltproc(1), DocBook XSL
Stylesheets and optionally FOP (if you want PDF) or lynx(1) (if you
want text).
* Block titles can now start with any non-space character (previously
where not allowed to start with .~-_ characters).
* ./stylesheets/docbook.css renamed to ./stylesheets/docbook-xsl.css
to clarify its function.
* Renamed ./docbook-xsl/manpages.xsl to ./docbook-xsl/manpage.xsl for
consistency.
* Admonition and navigation icons moved to ./images/icons/ to clarify
usage and conform with a2x(1) usage.
* Renamed xhtml11 intrinsic attribute imagesdir to iconsdir to keep
vocab consistent and changed default value to ./images/icons
(previously ./images). imagesdir attribute still accepted but
deprecated.
* Unused image files have been weeded out of the distribution.
* Packager notes (appendix B) have been updated to reflect the needs
of a2x(1).
Important
The renaming of the xhtml11 backend imagesdir intrinsic attribute and
it’s new default value introduces a backward compatibility issue: if
you use the icons attribute you will need to either move your icons to
the new default ./images/icons location or include an
--attribute{nbsp}iconsdir="your_icons_path" option in your asciidoc
commands.
Bug fixes
* Backslash line continuation is now observed in verbatim paragraphs.
* Fixed errors generated by example
./examples/website/build-website.sh script.
__________________________________________________________________
38. Version 7.0.4 (2005-12-08)
Additions and changes
* Added ternary conditional attributes
{<name>@<regexp>:<value1>[:<value2>]} and
{<name>$<regexp>:<value1>[:<value2>]}.
* Safety violations now generate errors (they previously generated
warnings).
* asciidoc(1) now defaults to safe mode, consequently the
[miscellaneous] safe mode entry and --safe command-line option are
no longer necessary (though for backward compatibility asciidoc(1)
still accepts the --safe option).
* Backend Blocks are now flagged unsafe (they could be used to
include arbitrary and hence potentially unsafe output content).
* Filters are no longer considered unsafe. There’s not much point in
insisting on filter safety since the installation of an unsafe
filter would require the introduction of new or modified
configuration files — if your application configurations can be
compromised you’re in all sorts of trouble (safe mode protects
against unsafe input files not unsafe configuration). As with all
filters, before installing, you should verify that they can’t be
coerced into generating malicious output or exposing sensitive
information.
Bug fixes
* Fixed a lot of glaring grammatical and factual errors in the User
Guide.
__________________________________________________________________
39. Version 7.0.3 (2005-12-01)
Additions and changes
* Added --safe and --unsafe command-line options — AsciiDoc can now
be executed in a safe mode which disallows the execution of
arbitrary code or the inclusion of arbitrary files (see
[169]Appendix C in the AsciiDoc User Guide).
* Included [170]source-highlight filter in the distribution
./examples/source-highlight-filter/ directory (based on filter
submitted by [171]Ryan Phillips).
* Included the DocBook XSL Stylesheets 1.69.1 customizations used to
generate the distributed AsciiDoc documentation (read the
asciidoc-docbook-xsl.txt file in the distribution ./docbook-xsl/
directory).
* AsciiDoc DocBook XSL Stylesheet drivers moved from ./doc/ to
./docbook-xsl/.
* Modified ./doc/manpages.xsl so only URL content is displayed in
manpages.
Bug fixes
* Explicitly set table CSS border style (xhtml11 backend) to solid
because default border styles vary from browser to browser.
__________________________________________________________________
40. Version 7.0.2 (2005-08-28)
Additions and changes
* There are now long versions of all AsciiDoc options.
* If the --backend is not specified it defaults to xhtml11.
* Added CSS simulated frames layout to the examples website (see
./examples/website/layout2/README-website.txt). This layout does
not work with IE6 and the original tables based layout is still the
default.
* Support page added to AsciiDoc website.
Bug fixes
* Invalid options are now trapped gracefully.
* Documentation errata.
__________________________________________________________________
41. Version 7.0.1 (2005-06-24)
Additions and changes
* Reverted to use of strong, em, tt XHTML tags — they’re more obvious
and no less correct than span tags, besides, the generated file
sizes are smaller (the User Guide was 11% smaller).
* Table title rendered with caption tag rather than a separate div.
* The AsciiDoc stylesdir attribute (if specified) is now recognized
when searching for embedded stylesheets (previously only searched
default ./stylesheets directory).
* Default charset encoding changed from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 — it’s
less language specific and displays most common languages.
* template::[] macros now expand in all configuration file sections
previously only in markup template sections.
* Cleaned up example website layout CSS and configuration
(presentation has not been changed).
* Refactored xhtml11.conf configuration file.
* Set consistent and sensible permissions on distributed files.
* White space is now stripped from DSV formatted table cell data.
* class="tableblock" attribute added to tables generated by
xhtml-deprecated-css.conf to assist CSS.
Bug fixes
* Illegal character set encoder (specified by the AsciiDoc encoding
attribute) and character data are trapped gracefully.
* AsciiDoc table format attribute in table attribute lists were not
recognized.
* The nested horizontal labeled list example in the AsciiDoc User
Guide has been dropped — it generated invalid DocBook markup.
__________________________________________________________________
42. Version 7.0.0 (2005-06-06)
This is a major release with many code and documentation changes.
Please report any problems you encounter.
[172]Stuart Rackham
Additions and changes
* A new xhtml11 backend generates XHTML 1.1 with integrated CSS2
replacing the previous xhtml, css, and css-embedded backends.
* The CSS stylesheets have finally been rewritten.
* The asciidoc(1) command help now includes user [173]customizable
help topics. When asciidoc is invoked with the --help option the
command argument is interpreted as a help topic.
* The previous example website has been replaced by the actual
AsciiDoc website (see ./examples/website/.
* XHTML generation options now controlled by the following
attributes: badges, linkcss, icons, numbered, quirks, theme,
stylesdir, imagesdir (see the [174]User Guide for details.
* By default HTML and XHTML are output as stand-alone documents (no
embedded CSS and no linked admonition icon images).
* Documents encoded with the UTF-8 Unicode character set are now
processed thanks to a patch supplied by [175]Viktor Vasilev.
* The -a ^name command-line syntax to undefine an attribute has been
deprecated in favor of the -a name! syntax.
* AttributeEntry syntax addition: :name!: to undefine name attribute.
* Added template system block macro to allow the inclusion of one
configuration file template section within another.
* A verse style attribute can now be applied to literal paragraphs
and blocks to reproduce line breaks and white space from the source
document.
* Replacements and Special Words can now be escaped with leading
backslashes.
* Replacements are now processed in configuration file order
(previous ordering was indeterminate).
* System macros can now be used in the base asciidoc.conf
configuration file.
* Deprecated features that emitted warnings in prior versions are no
longer tolerated.
* The eval system attribute expression evaluates to False the
attribute is undefined, if it evaluates to True the result is an
empty string.
* The Paragraph and DelimitedBlock presubs parameter can be aliased
as subs.
* Added verbatim substitutions option.
* Renamed List Continuation Block to List Block and renamed the
listcontinuation option to list.
* Deprecated default substitutions option (use normal instead).
* The section-numbers section numbering attribute has be renamed
numbered.
* Dropped the #UNDER CONSTRUCTION# block macro.
* Rewrote Paragraph and DelimitedBlock handlers adding a [176]styles
configuration entry.
Bug fixes
* Included files are no longer read inside conditionally excluded
content.
* Manpage command names containing dashes (in the manpage NAME
section) were misinterpreted as the spaced dash command
name/purpose separator. Bug report and patch supplied by [177]David
Greaves.
* Unexpected error following malformed author line error.
__________________________________________________________________
43. Version 6.0.3 (2005-04-20)
Additions and changes
* Special characters are now substituted in AttributeEntry element
values.
* Spaced and unspaced em dashes are now recognized (previously only
spaced em dashes were recognized).
* Replaced the table noborders option with richer frame and grid
attributes.
* The duplicate macro warning message now only occurs when the
verbose (-v) option is enabled.
* Single lines starting with two forward slashes hard up against the
left margin are treated as comments and are not processed.
* Renamed section delimited block option to sectionbody to more
accurately reflect it’s role.
* Added a List Continuation block — a specialized delimited block
that is functionally equivalent to the List Item Continuation
feature except that the list contained within the block does not
require explicit + list item continuation lines.
* Dropped deprecated <u> tags from generated HTML.
* Literal Block delimiters must now consist of at least four points
(previously three) to avoid lone ellipsis ambiguity.
Bug fixes
* Some system attribute evaluation failures caused unexpected
exceptions to occur.
__________________________________________________________________
44. Version 6.0.2 (2005-03-30)
Additions and changes
* Three new system block macros have been added — eval, sys and sys2
which are the block macro equivalents to the same named system
attributes.
* Intrinsic macros have been renamed system macros along with action
attributes which have been renamed system attributes:
+ To reflect their common (though contextually different)
behavior.
+ To avoid confusion with intrinsic attributes.
Bug fixes
* Asciidoc now searches in /etc/asciidoc/filters for filters.
__________________________________________________________________
45. Version 6.0.1 (2005-03-06)

necessary or desirable (patches supplied by [179]Fredrik Steen).
* Added BUGS file to the distribution.
Bug fixes
* Illegal comment syntax in css-embedded-stylesheet.conf resulted in
illegal CSS in files generated by the css-embedded backend.
__________________________________________________________________
46. Version 6.0.0 (2005-01-28)
This release has had some fairly major code and documentation changes.
Please report any problems you encounter.
[180]Stuart Rackham
A lot of new stuff. A new major version number — some regression
incompatibility (hopefully mitigated by deprecated warnings).
Went mad trying to rein in the current feature anarchy — established a
unified notion of document attributes. Attempted to introduce a
consistent vocabulary — renamed many poorly or inconsistently named
entities.
Actually, deprecated syntax is still processed correctly in almost all
cases. One source of incompatibility that may arise if you have
customized CSS stylesheets is the change of AsciiDoc CSS class names
(see below). I guess the moral is if you’ve done a lot of configuration
file customization and are happy with version 5 then you may want to
stay put.
Note
This version requires Python 2.3 or better to run.
Additions and changes
* Glossary entries have been renamed attributes. This eliminates
confusion with the accepted meaning of glossary.
* An AttributeEntry block element has been added so that document
attributes can be assigned from within an AsciiDoc document.
* The AttributeList block element has been added which is a more
general solution than the (now deprecated) DelimitedBlock
arguments.
* An BlockId element has been added for setting block element anchor
(link target) IDs.
* Quoted text can now span multiple lines (thanks to James Bowlin for
this patch).
* Inline macros can now span multiple lines.
* ‘`double backtick / apostrophe’' quotes generate “curly quotes”.
* A warning is now emitted for out of order list item (applies to
explicitly enumerated numbered list items).
* Added include action attribute.
* A line of three or more apostrophes generates an HTML horizontal
ruler (<hr/> tag). You will get a warning if processed with
non-HTML backend.
* An {imagesdir} attribute specifies image file location for images
referenced in configuration files when generating HTML (the default
location is images).
* An {stylesdir} attribute specifies the location of CSS stylesheets
when generating styled HTML (the default location for configured
markup is .).
* The use of the (often inappropriately named) {caption} attribute
list entry has been deprecated, use {0} instead.
* New ExampleBlock delimited block along with associated variants
Note, Tip, Warning, Caution and Important.
* The docbook.conf file now facilitates the optional inclusion of a
DocBook revision history file.
* To better reflect their purpose the following block elements have
been renamed: VerbatimBlock to ListingBlock; IndentedBlock to
LiteralBlock; IndentedParagraph to LiteralParagraph; CustomBlock to
BackendBlock; SimpleSection to SectionBody. Any corresponding CSS
class names have also been changed which could result in backward
incompatibility in customized stylesheets.
* Swapped plain DocBook admonition icons for Jimmac’s DocBook icons
([181]http://jimmac.musichall.cz/ikony.php3). The original plain
icons have been moved to ./images/plain.
* Renamed html backend to xhtml to better reflect it’s function
(former html-4 backend renamed to html).
* A new inline anchor macro syntax [[[<id>]]] is available, it
displays [<id>] at the anchor location and is for anchoring
bibliography list entries.
* An optional single-line titles syntax can be used.
* Tweaks to distributed CSS stylesheets and FOP fo.xsl customization
file.
* List Item Continuation has been implemented which allows additional
block elements to be included in list items by separating them from
the preceding list item element with a line containing a single
plus character.
* A new Horizontal Labeled List list type has been added. Generates
two column list — the first column contains the list element
labels, the second contains the element text. Same syntax as
Vertical Labeled Lists except the double colon label suffix is
followed by the start of the list item text.
Bug fixes
* Fixed broken backslash line continuation.
* Labeled list end tags were not undergoing attribute substitution.
* Documents without any author information now generate legitimate
DocBook (previously if the author line was not included in the
document header then an empty (illegal) DocBook author element was
generated).
* Multiple spaces in filter command arguments were replaced by a
single space. The ./examples/asciidoc2text/asciidoc2text.sh script
now indents text correctly.
__________________________________________________________________
47. Version 5.1.1 (2004-10-10)
15-December-2004: Interim update: Updated asciidoc.py to fix broken
join_lines function — no other changes.
* PDF documentation is now produced from DocBook XML using XSLTLib
and FOP. Previously we processed DocBook SGML with jw(1) (which
used Dvips to convert DVI files to PDF). FOP has come a long way in
the last 12 months and produces very acceptable PDF under both
Linux and Windows.
* Sections detailing how to install and use the DocBook XSL
Stylesheets, xsltproc, FOP toolchain and the AsciiDoc XSLT drivers
have been added to the User Guide.
* The PDF output from the he example article template has been
included in the distribution (./doc/article.pdf).
* Special characters are emitted using decimal Unicode character
codes (previously used named character entities which cannot be
assumed included in non-HTML documents).
* Added registered trademark ® to [replacements].
* CSS stylesheet tweaks.
* Admonitions (Note, Tip, Important, Warning, Caution) include icons
when generating css output.
__________________________________________________________________
48. Version 5.1.0 (2004-09-18)
* Callouts have been implemented (see the Callouts section of the
AsciiDoc User Guide for details).
* Added XSL drivers for generating XHTML, chunked XHTML and HTML Help
from DocBook XML using XSL stylesheets and xsltproc(1).
* Added CSS stylesheet for HTML generated from DocBook XML using XSL
stylesheets.
* Distribution contains HTML Help formatted User Guide
(./doc/asciidoc.chm), the User Guide tells you how it’s generated.
* Images referred to by distributed stylesheets are now located in
the ./images subdirectory (previously located in .).
* Filters path names are now handled properly under Cygwin.
* The usual documentation and examples additions, updates and
polishing.
__________________________________________________________________
49. Version 5.0.9 (2004-09-09)
* The convention of using a .asc file extension for AsciiDoc files
has been dropped in favor of the familiar .txt extension. It makes
more sense in that AsciiDoc is a text presentation format and
because .asc clashed with the same extension used by other
applications. It’s only a naming convention — you don’t have to
switch if you don’t want to.
* Changed the subscript formatting character from underline to tilde
since underscores in file names are reasonably common (especially
in link and image macros).
* An alternative syntax for the index term inline macro has been
added: ++<primary>,<secondary>,<tertiary>++.
* Index terms that have secondary and tertiary entries now
additionally generate separate index terms for the secondary and
tertiary entries.
* A +<primary>+ index term inline macro has been added which displays
the term in the primary text flow.
* Added alternative variable list definition using double semi-colon
terminator as opposed to the standard double colon terminator so
variable lists can be nested to two levels.
* Footnotes now appear on a separate line in HTML and Linuxdoc
outputs.
* Python version compatibility is checked at startup.
* Preface and appendix section titles in multi-part Book documents
are meant to be out of sequence — warnings are no longer emitted
when outputting HTML.
* Empty section warnings have been replaced by error messages and are
emitted only if invalid markup would result.
* Missing macro sections or invalid macro name warnings are only
generated at startup if the -v (verbose) option is set. Otherwise
they are deferred until a matching macro is encountered in the
input file.
* Missing or invalid table definition warnings are only generated at
startup if the -v (verbose) option is set. Otherwise they are
deferred until a matching table is encountered in the input file.
* AsciiDoc now makes more of an effort to continue in the face of
errors.
* Fixed broken ./examples/website/main.aap script.
* Converted distribution text files DOS text format as a sop to
Windows users with challenged text editors.
* Documentation additions and corrections.
__________________________________________________________________
50. Version 5.0.8 (2004-05-15)
* Spurious out of sequence level 2 warnings no longer appear when
processing book document multi-part book top level Preface and
Appendix sub-sections since they are (correctly) out of sequence.
* A warning is no longer emitted for empty Index sections since this
is normal when generating DocBook outputs.
* Fixed: [quotes] configuration file entries where not being
overridden by downstream configuration file entries.
* Footnote text is now output enclosed in square brackets in HTML
documents.
* Added superscripts and subscripts to the standard PRS configuration
files.
* Adjusted CSS stylesheets so list titles don’t have so much space
between title and first list item (broken in IE6 due to poor CSS
compliance). Lessened sidebar title top margin.
__________________________________________________________________
51. Version 5.0.7 (2004-04-22)
* The version 5.0.6 README incorrectly stated that AsciiDoc would run
under Python 2.0, in fact it requires Python 2.1 or better. The
README has been corrected.
* Documented techniques for combining and splitting AsciiDoc
documents and processing the combined and split parts (see the Tips
and Tricks section of the User Guide).
* An example of marking up superscripts and subscripts is documented
in the Tips and Tricks section of the User Guide (the example
configuration file is in the AsciiDoc examples directory).
* Added ellipsis to shipped [replacements]; three periods output an
ellipsis entity.
* Removed unused SectionClose class.
* The AsciiDoc Preamble element is output as a DocBook Preface when
processed as a book document type (in older AsciiDoc versions a
warning was issued and processing stopped).
* Fixed a quoting anomaly: quoted text can no longer begin or end
with with white space.
__________________________________________________________________
52. Version 5.0.6 (2004-03-07)
* New image macro implements optional image scaling and linking and
works in both inline and block contexts. The image macro obsolesces
the existing graphic block macro and icon inline macro.
* Macro substitution section names now have -inlinemacro and
-blockmacro suffixes to resolve context ambiguity, make their
purpose clearer and relieve section namespace congestion.
* Header derived glossary entries can now be overridden from the
command-line.
* Special character substitution is now performed on AuthorLine
derived author names.
* A macro or block argument called options can be used as a shortcut
for a list named arguments with zero length string values.
* Tables can be output without borders using the options="noborders"
argument.
* Table data lines that do not immediately follow a table section
underline can now be blank. This allows CSV data with embedded
blank lines to be processed correctly.
* Blank DSV format table data lines are silently skipped.
* Tightened up on enforcement of configuration file section names to
reduce the possibility of section content being seen as a section
header line.
* Section titles can be optionally suffixed with title arguments
enclosed in double square brackets.
* A replacement has been added to asciidoc.conf to replace inline
double dashes with the &mdash; entity.
* Changed the .UNDER-CONSTRUCTION. macro syntax to
#UNDER-CONSTRUCTION# so it is not mistaken for a BlockTitle.
Similarly changed the .NEW. replacement with &#35;NEW&#35;.
* &#35;NEW&#35; and #UNDER-CONSTRUCTION# macros are now included in
the DocBook backend.
* Replaced shipped smallnew.gif with smallnew.png.
* Documentation tidy ups.
__________________________________________________________________
53. Version 5.0.5 (2004-02-25)
* Fixed the disappearing paragraph titles problem that was caused by
Inline macros (incorrectly) processing BlockTitles.
* Tightened AuthorLine validation. Previously invalid email addresses
and embedded special characters in the AuthorLine resulted in
invalid output markup.
__________________________________________________________________
54. Version 5.0.4 (2004-02-09)
* Reinstated missing infile, outfile, filetype and
filetype-<filetype> glossary entries.
* As of version 5.0.3 asciidoc(1) now requires Python 2.0 or greater,
this has now been documented.
__________________________________________________________________
55. Version 5.0.3 (2004-01-23)
* Fixed problem that caused any filters directory file containing
.conf (not just those with the .conf extension) from being loaded.
* All [miscellaneous] configuration file entries can now be
referenced like glossary entries (they are now processed internally
as glossary entries).
* The output file line terminator (previously hardwired to \r\n is
now set using the newline entry in the configuration file
[miscellaneous] section.
* The misspelt blocktitles configuration file entry name has been
corrected (to blocktitle).
* An {empty} glossary entry has been added to the default
configuration which is useful for outputting trailing blank lines
from configuration file substitution sections.
__________________________________________________________________
56. Version 5.0.2 (2003-12-18)
* New (alternative) anchor and xref macro syntax (old syntax still
valid).
* DocBook mediaobject and inlinemediaobject tags are generated in
place of graphic and inlinegraphic tags by the AsciiDoc graphic and
icon macros. If a macro argument is specified it is the alternative
text output if the target document format does not support the
specified graphic file format.
* Dropped the LinuxDoc left and right square bracket special
character substitutions as they interfered with macro substitution.
* Documentation updates and corrections.
__________________________________________________________________
57. Version 5.0.1 (2003-12-09)
* Fixed problem with anchor tag when generating CSS styled HTML.
__________________________________________________________________
58. Version 5.0 (2003-12-08)
This release has had some fairly major code and documentation changes.
Please report any problems you encounter.
[182]Stuart Rackham
* AsciiDoc can now produce a full-blown multi-part DocBook book
including dedication, abstract, preface, colophon, glossary,
appendix, bibliography and book part elements using the new
specialsections configuration file section.
* All Section element children (Paragraph, DelimitedBlock, List,
Table, BlockMacro) can now be titled using the BlockTitle element.
A BlockTitle element is a single line containing a title and
beginning with a period.
* The index and backmatter macros have been dropped, superseded by
specialsections.
* The AsciiDoc Preface element has been renamed Preamble (to avoid
confusion with the DocBook book preface element).
* Out of sequence titles are now tolerated with a warning. This
allows book document level 0 sections to be processed.
* An anchor inline macro has been added for document link target
creation.
* Note, Tip, Important and Warning paragraph types have been added to
support the corresponding DocBook elements.
* Title substitution is now performed in SidebarBlock titles.
* DocBook graphics now output as figure and informalfigure elements
rather than mediaobjects. This ensures numbered figures and a lists
of figures are produced by the DocBook toolchain.
* You can now escape block argument lines by appending a backslash.
Alternatively, if you embed arguments in the delimiter line
AsciiDoc does not check for an arguments line.
* The default DocBook backend file extension has been changed from
.docbook to .xml (.sgml for the docbook-sgml backend).
* Warnings are output by default (previously they only printed when
verbose option enabled).
* A Question and Answer variable list definition has been added to
the shipped configuration files, primarily to create DocBook qanda
DocBook elements.
* Fixed broken code-filter -b linuxdoc option. The asciidoc.asc User
Guide can now be processed by linuxdoc(1) (although tables are
dropped because LinuxDoc does not implement tables).
Compatibility issues:
1. Table titles are no longer in the arguments line, use the new
BlockTitles.
2. Graphic titles are no longer in the graphic block macro caption,
use the new BlockTitles.
3. The code-filter title must be placed in a preceding BlockTitle.
4. SidebarBlock titles must be placed in a preceding BlockTitle.
5. The DelimitedBlock option sidebar has been renamed to section.
6. The default DocBook backend file extension has been changed from
.docbook to .xml (.sgml for the docbook-sgml backend).
__________________________________________________________________
59. Version 4.2 (2003-11-26)
* The default HTML output is now XHTML 1.0 markup. To output the
former HTML 4 markup specify the html-4 backend.
* The default DocBook output is now DocBook XML. To output the former
DocBook SGML specify the docbook-sgml backend. The associated
docbook-sgml.conf file illustrates how to support minor DTD
variations. Examples of using the xmlto(1) command for DocBook
conversion have been added to the User Guide.
* Glossary entries set using the command-line -g option can now be
referenced in configuration files.
* Configuration dumps (-c command-line option) no longer output
redundant undefined glossary entries.
* DelimitedBlock arguments can now be specified in a separate
arguments line immediately following the leading delimiter line,
This is in preference to the existing delimiter embedded arguments.
Reasons:
+ The syntax is in keeping with the Tables arguments syntax.
+ It’s easier to enter and implements line continuation.
* A new QuoteBlock DelimitedBlock definition has been added to the
distribution configuration files.
* The table arguments lines can be continued using the backslash line
continuation character.
* Added new calculated glossary reference type {<name>%<value>}.
* Double-quote characters can now appear in unquoted positional
arguments.
__________________________________________________________________
60. Version 4.1 (2003-11-13)
* Added DSV (Delimiter Separated Values) tables format.
* {eval:<expr>} glossary references drop the containing line if
<expr> evaluates to None.
* Block, Table and Macro arguments can now be positional (quoted or
unquoted).
* Vocabulary change: DelimitedBlock, Table and Macro attributes are
now referred to as arguments. This makes more sense in light of the
extended syntax and avoids confusion with backend markup tag
attributes.
* tablewidth table ruler parameter can now be expressed in percent
units (0..100). If between 0 and 1 then the original fractional
unit measure is applied.
* The use of quoting for generating footnotes and index entries has
been dropped in favor of footnote and indexterm inline macros.
* backmatter inline macro included in distribution.
* Fixed: CSS styled HTML tables are now fully XHTML 1.0 conformant.
* Fixed: tablewidth was processed incorrectly when passed as table
argument.
* Fixed: Glossary references like {x=\{y}} were one character off if
{x] was defined and {y} was not.
__________________________________________________________________
61. Version 4.0 (2003-11-08)
This release has had some fairly major code and documentation changes.
Please report any problems you encounter.
Stuart Rackham
* Added tables to AsciiDoc.
* Added two special subs options: default specifies the default
substitution options and none specifies no substitution. These
options can only appear singly.
* Line continuation using a trailing backslash character is available
in Paragraphs, ListItems, Tables.
* The left and right quotes for quoted text can now be specified
separately.
* Shipped configuration files implement footnotes (only useful for
DocBook output) using \[[]] quoting.
* Shipped configuration files implement index terms (only useful for
DocBook and LinuxDoc output) using \(()) quoting.
* The shipped html backend configuration now emits valid HTML 4.01
Transitional.
* Added new calculated glossary reference types {<name>!<value>} and
{<name>#<value>}.
* The DelimitedBlock params option has been dropped in favor of the
new block attributes mechanism. If you have customized block params
options you may need to adjust source files to use the block
attributes syntax. The example code filter has been updated to
reflect these changes.
* The code filter now has a -t tabsize option.
* Replaced -w option with -v (verbose) option. The warnings option
was just to confusing.
* Named attributes can now be specified in macro calls.
* The tabsize attribute is recognized in the built-in include macros.
A tabsize of zero suppresses tab expansion.
* The configuration file [options] section has been split into
[miscellaneous] and [titles]. If you have customized any of these
settings you will need to adjust the affected configuration files.
* Configuration file [miscellaneous] entries can now also be set
using the command-line -g option.
* Fixed: error that occurred when attempting to use zero length
configuration and source files.
* Fixed: blocking filter halt problem.
* Fixed: inline macro escape prefix problem.
* Fixed: missing macros from configuration dump problem.
* Fixed: named macros were dumped incorrectly.
* Many documentation changes/additions/corrections.
__________________________________________________________________
62. Version 3.2.2 (2003-10-26)
* Added -n option (synonym for -g section-numbers).
* Dropped the processing commentary (hey, this is Unix).
* Added new calculated glossary reference type {<name>?<value>}.
<name> is the glossary entry name and <value> is the text
substituted if the glossary entry is defined. <value> can only
contain literal text (no glossary references allowed).
* Added asciidoc2text to distribution examples/asciidoc2text
directory (converts AsciiDoc source to text file with section
numbering).
* Fixed incorrect nesting of Simple lists inside Variable lists.
* List definitions have been modified so that list items can be
indented. This allows a more intuitive indentation of nested lists
in AsciiDoc source.
* Lists must be separated from preceding paragraphs by a blank line.
This is to avoid paragraph lines being mistaken for list items.
* Corrected asciidoc man page documentation error: the`-f` option
does not search relative to source document directory for the
configuration file.
* Minor updates to various distribution .conf files.
* Included badges.conf in examples directory.
* css-embedded-stylesheet.conf now supports footer badges.
* The default in-line element processing order has been changed:
Glossary References are now processed before Inline Macros. This
allows glossary expansions to occur inside macro references.
* Glossary entries are now allowed in Author and Revision lines.
* Default List subs options and Paragraph presubs options are
assigned the following default value if not specified:
specialcharacters,quotes,specialwords,replacements,glossary,macros
* Documentation changes/additions/corrections.
__________________________________________________________________
63. Version 3.2 (2003-05-26)
* Added a -s command-line option to suppress the output of [header]
and [footer] sections.
* Article document headers are no longer mandatory: this allows
AsciiDoc to process arbitrary chunks of text. When used in
conjunction with the new -s command-line option corresponding
chunks of backend markup can be generated.
* AsciiDoc now emits a warning message and continues when an out of
sequence section title is detected (previously it failed and
halted). This allows document sections to be processed separately.
* Optional presubs and postsubs entries have been added to
DelimitedBlock and Paragraph definitions. As a consequence
substitution options are no longer legal in options entries.
* presubs and postsubs substitutions are processed in the order the
options are specified (rather than the fixed options order of
previous versions).
* ./filters subdirectories are automatically searched for filter
commands.
* A title-subs configuration option specifies the substitutions
performed on document Header and Section titles.
* A subs entry in now included in List configuration file definitions
that specified substitutions performed on list entry text.
* Configuration files are auto-loaded from ./filters subdirectories.
* Added example code filter (see ./examples/filters).
* Bug fix: if section was empty you may have got erroneous missing
tag "paragraph" error.
* Internal code tidy up.
__________________________________________________________________
64. Version 3.1 (2003-05-18)
* In version 3.0 a [macros] section entry of the form name was
equivalent to name=. An entry of the form name now undefines the
entry (to bring it in line with the behavior of other special
sections).
* Paragraphs have now been generalized (in the same way as Lists and
DelimitedBlocks).
* The indentsize option has been dropped as as consequence of
paragraph generalization.
* Pipe | characters can be included in substituted tag and
substitution section text using the {brvbar} (broken vertical bar)
glossary reference.
* Removed the restriction requiring substitution section text
placeholders | to be on a separate line.
* Added an -e asciidoc(1) command option that excludes implicit
configuration files (used in conjunction with -c generated
configuration files).
* Version 3.0 documentation has undergone a considerable cleanup.
* The dumping of quoted section entries (see -c option) now works
correctly.
* The format of special section entries has been made consistent:
name undefines the entry; name= sets the entry value to a blank
string; name=value sets the entry value to value.
* As a consequence of the previous change the caret prefix is no
longer used in glossary configuration file entries (although it is
still used when undefining an entry using the -g command-line
option).
__________________________________________________________________
65. Version 3.0 (2003-05-13)
This version is the culmination of work begun in the 2.x releases
whereby fixed policy has been replaced by extensible mechanisms.
* Added -c command-line option to dump a composite asciidoc(1)
configuration file to stdout.
* Lists and Delimited Blocks are now defined by a set of
configuration file parameter sections. The user can modify the
default definitions or add new ones.
* Block content can now be processed through external filters.
* The default behavior for Custom Blocks is to perform glossary
substitution (previously there was no substitution inside Custom
Blocks).
* The old 2.x style macros have been reimplemented; as with Lists and
Delimited Blocks there syntax and behavior can be configured by the
user. The default macro syntax remains the same but the semantics
are now (hopefully) a bit more intelligible.
* Block and Builtin macros use :: delimiter instead of the 2.x single
colon delimit (to distinguish them from inline macros). The 2.x
syntax is still supported for backward compatibility.
* Nested lists are now supported and IndentedParagraphs can be
included in list items.
* Conditional source inclusion can be specified using built in ifdef,
ifndef and endif macros.
* The new conditional source inclusion feature has been used to
reduce the number of default configuration files down to one per
backend.
* A change of name: 2.x Substitutions are now called Replacements and
the 2.x [substitutions] configuration file section is now called
[replacements] (the old name is still recognized for backward
compatibility).
* The line break is now implemented as a Replacements substitution.
* Inline icon macro for inline images has been added to default
configuration files.
__________________________________________________________________
66. Version 2.2 (2003-04-07)
* The master.conf configuration file name has been deprecated in
favor of asciidoc.conf.
* The standard configuration files set is now loaded from the
.asciidoc folder in the users home directory (if it exists) and
then from the source document directory. Configuration files that
don’t exist are silently skipped.
* Configuration files named like the source file will be
automatically loaded if they are found in the source file
directory. For example if the source file is mydoc.asc and the -b
html option is used then asciidoc(1) will look for mydoc.conf and
mydoc-html.conf in that order.
* The characters used to quote formatted text can be configured and
extended by the user (see the master.conf [quotes] section).
* Quoted text can now be escaped by prefixing a backslash character
to the leading quote.
* The double single-quote '' strong text quote has been deprecated in
favor of an asterisk * character.
* Added {eval:expression}, {sys:command} and {sys2:command} glossary
reference actions.
* Trailing brace characters } are now allowed inside glossary
references provided they are escaped with a backslash character.
* Glossary entries can now be escaped by prefixing a backslash
character to the leading brace character (use this in preference to
placing the backslash inside the brace).
* The output macro has been deprecated (use the new include1 macro
inside a CustomBlock).
* The default document type is article (asciidoc no longer attempts
to guess).
* Files included within DelimitedBlocks are not searched for block
termination underlines. This ensures the entire file is part of the
DelimitedBlock.
* include macros can now be used in configuration files.
* Corrected {infile} and {outfile} glossary entry documentation.
* File inclusion is now limited to a depth of 5 to catch recursion
loops.
* Inline tags have been deprecated, they’re not necessary and they
immediately make the source document backend specific. Use
CustomBlocks or Substitutions instead.
__________________________________________________________________
67. Version 2.1 (2003-03-17)
* Added section auto numbering {sectnum} glossary entry
(auto-numbering function contributed by Ludovico Magnocavallo).
* asciidoc(1) now correctly returns non-zero exit status if an error
occurs.
* An AsciiDoc example website has been included in the AsciiDoc
distribution examples/website directory.
* NOTE: The asciidoc wrapper script included in the 2.0 distribution
has been dropped, if you’ve symlinked or aliased to asciidoc you’ll
need to change them to point directly to asciidoc.py instead.
* An RCS $Id$ marker can be used as the document header revision line
(based on a patch submitted by Ludovico Magnocavallo).
* In addition to the name=value glossary entry format two new ones
have been introduced: name (the default value is set to an empty
string) and ^name (the glossary entry is undefined).
* The -q command-line option has been deprecated and the -w level
command-line option added.
NOTE: By default skipped substitution warnings are now suppressed.
* If a configuration file specified with the -f command-line option
is not found relative to the current working directory then the
search is repeated relative to the asciidoc(1) directory. This
allows global configuration files to be used.
* Added {infile}, {outfile} predefined glossary entries.
* Added under-construction macro to HTML article configuration files.
* Deprecated {asciidoc_version} glossary entry in favor of
{asciidoc-version} (to it consistent with other entries).
__________________________________________________________________
68. Version 2.0 (2003-02-24)
* The emphasized, strong and monospaced words options have been
generalized with the introduction of macro based special words
lists.
* Glossary references can now appear in both the document and macro
bodies.
* All output files use crlf line termination (previously used UNIX lf
(newline) termination).
* Added [substitutions] section which implements arbitrary regular
expression based substitutions.
* An optional master.conf configuration file can be used for entries
that are not backend or document type specific.
* Special character definitions moved from the code to the new
[special_characters] configuration file section.
* Configuration file glossary added.
* Command-line -g glossary entry added.
* A new book document type has been implemented for the docbook
backend. It outputs DocBook book documents.
* A major internal change has been the implementation of parametrized
user definable macros. Internally most document elements are now
processed as macros.
* Configuration file macro variables can be specified with default
values (literals or other macro variables).
* An attempt has been made to tighten up the vocabulary used to
describe the AsciiDoc document syntax.
* The term abstract has been replaced by the more general term
preface and a new preface section introduced into article
configuration files (replacing the synopsis sections).
* Any section elements can now be put in the document preface
(previous versions only allowed paragraphs).
* AsciiDoc Blocks have been unified and their behavior can be user
defined and parametrized.
* An output inclusion allows an external file to be written directly
to the backend output file.
* A new CustomBlock has been added. Default behavior is to insert the
enveloped AsciiDoc source lines directly into the output file.
* A line break tag can be inserted by terminating a line with a +
character (only really useful for HTML backends).
* An fourth section level has been introduced.
* The SidebarBlock delimiter line characters have been changed. The
deprecated underline is still accepted.
* Levels 2 and 3 title underline characters have been changed. The
deprecated underlines are still accepted.
* Lines with backend specific inline tags can be inserted into
AsciiDoc source files.
* Single words enveloped by underscores are no longer emphasized.
This feature was deprecated as it is redundant (use single quotes
instead) and was being applied to file names with underscores.
* A -q quiet option has been added to suppress warning messages.
* Badge images sourced locally.
* Added author and author-mail meta tags to HTML configuration files.
__________________________________________________________________
69. Version 1.5 (2003-01-08)
* Implemented sidebar document elements.
* Explicit checks for user specified configuration files and input
file (rather than throwing exception).
__________________________________________________________________
70. Version 1.4 (2003-01-04)
* New configuration file options emphasizedwords and strongwords.
These allow the definition of words that will always be emphasized
or rendered in a strong font without inline formatting.
* Document and section titles are no long subject to inline
formatting.
* Multiple configuration files can be overlaid in a single command.
* Configuration file tags and options entries can now be overridden
on an entry by entry basis (previously the entire section was
overloaded).
* Configuration file tags and options entries are now cached this has
resulted in around 37% performance improvement over version 1.3.
* Variable lists can now contain multiple terms per list item.
* Placeholder paragraph eliminated from empty sections that contain
subsections.
* Added {asciidoc_version} substitution variable.
* More documentation additions and tidy ups.
__________________________________________________________________
71. Version 1.3 (2003-01-01)
* A new strong text formatting convention has been implemented: Word
phrases enclosed in pairs of single quote characters (acute
accents) are rendered in a strong font (usually bold).
* Paragraphs can now be followed immediately by Simple lists and
Ordered lists without an intervening blank line.
* A user specified configuration file (asciidoc(1) -f option)
overlays the default configuration file rather than replacing it.
Custom configuration files need only contain those sections that
have been customized.
* Comment Block delimiters have been relaxed slightly. They must
start with three forward slashes /// but the remainder can contain
any characters, this allows comments to be embedded in the
delimiter line.
* Leading non-digit characters preceding revision number are now
ignored.
* Set default indentsize [option] from 2 to documented default value
of zero in HTML backend html-article.conf and html-manpage.conf
files.
* Fixed error that occurred when taking input from stdin without
explicitly specifying a document type.
* Restored file name and line number error message information.
* Changed deprecated -t option to -d in asciidoc --help and usage
command output.
* CSS styles tweaking.
* Code, configuration file and documentation tidy ups.
__________________________________________________________________
72. Version 1.2 (2002-12-28)
* Implemented include URL to allow file inclusion.
* fileextension configuration file [option] renamed to more sensible
outfilesuffix (fileextension still accepted by this version but
will be dropped in future).
* Improved error reporting.
* CSS backends generate valid XHTML.
* New css-embedded backend generates HTML with embedded stylesheets
(use the css backend for linked stylesheets). The css-embedded
backend output contains no linked images so the generated html
files are completely self contained.
* Bug fixes.
__________________________________________________________________
73. Version 1.1 (2002-12-03)
* Added css (cascading style sheets) backend
* Implemented IndentedBlock document element.
* Tabsize command-line option has been deprecated in favor of
configuration file.
* Default indent width changed to zero.
* Added {localdate} and {localtime} substitution variables.
* Added optional [options] configuration file section with
fileextension, tabsize and indentsize options.
* Implemented {authorinitials} substitution variable.
* Added https link type.
* Corrected [graphic] substitution from {title} to {caption} in
linuxdoc-article.conf configuration file.
* Fixed error that occurred when == title underline was used.
__________________________________________________________________
