42
+ <div class="ilist"><div class="title">Additions and changes</div><ul>
43
+ <li>
44
+ <p>
45
+ Added <tt>dvi</tt>, <tt>ps</tt> and <tt>tex</tt> output format options to <tt>a2x(1)</tt>.
46
+ </p>
47
+ </li>
48
+ <li>
49
+ <p>
50
+ Added <tt>&#8212;dblatex</tt> option to <tt>a2x(1)</tt> so <tt>dblatex(1)</tt> can be used to
51
+ generate PDFs.
52
+ </p>
53
+ </li>
54
+ <li>
55
+ <p>
56
+ Added custom <tt>dblatex(1)</tt> configuration files (in distribution
57
+ <tt>./dblatex</tt> directory) which are used by <tt>a2x(1)</tt>.
58
+ </p>
59
+ </li>
60
+ <li>
61
+ <p>
62
+ <tt>dblatex(1)</tt> is now used to generate the distributed PDF version of
63
+ the <em>AsciiDoc</em> User Guide.
64
+ </p>
65
+ </li>
66
+ <li>
67
+ <p>
68
+ If you don't need a customized the link caption you can enter the
69
+ <em>http</em>, <em>https</em>, <em>ftp</em>, <em>file</em> URLs and email addresses without any
70
+ special macro syntax &#8212; you get the links by just cutting and
71
+ pasting URLs and emails addresses. This also makes it easier to open
72
+ links directly form <em>AsciiDoc</em> source ( most editors allow you to open
73
+ URLs directly). The Vim syntax highlighter has been updated to
74
+ reflect these changes.
75
+ </p>
76
+ </li>
77
+ <li>
78
+ <p>
79
+ Highlighted source code paragraphs have been implemented &#8212; it's a
80
+ much more convenient way to enter short code examples (see
81
+ <a href="http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/source-highlight-filter.html">the
82
+ online docs</a>).
83
+ </p>
84
+ </li>
85
+ <li>
86
+ <p>
87
+ The source highlighter and music filter syntax has changed &#8212; they
88
+ now used the ListingBlock syntax customized with <em>source</em> and
89
+ <em>music</em> style attribute values. This follows the Paragraph styling
90
+ convention introduced by the source paragraph (previous item) and is
91
+ easier to read. The old syntax still works but has been deprecated.
92
+ </p>
93
+ </li>
94
+ <li>
95
+ <p>
96
+ QuoteBlocks now have a <em>verse</em> style &#8212; you no longer have to nest a
97
+ <em>verse</em> LiteralBlock inside a QuoteBlock for verses. The <em>verse</em>
98
+ style on the LiteralBlock has been deprecated (still works though)
99
+ and the <em>style</em> attribute is positional attribute 1, pushing
100
+ <em>attribution</em> and <em>citetitle</em> attributes to the right (you'll need
101
+ to insert a <em>quote</em> attribute into your existing QuoteBlocks).
102
+ </p>
103
+ </li>
104
+ <li>
105
+ <p>
106
+ It is no up to the DocBook processor to highlight source code syntax
107
+ in <tt>&lt;programlisting&gt;</tt> elements rather than GNU Highlighter &#8212; this
108
+ is the correct way to handle it, plus <tt>dblatex(1)</tt> makes a much
109
+ better job.
110
+ </p>
111
+ </li>
112
+ <li>
113
+ <p>
114
+ <em>scaledwidth</em> and <em>align</em> attributes have been added to the <em>image</em>
115
+ macro. They apply to DocBook outputs (specifically for PDF
116
+ documents). <em>scaledwidth</em> sets the image size as a percent of the
117
+ available page width; <em>align</em> applies <em>left</em>, <em>center</em> or <em>right</em>
118
+ horizontal image justification.
119
+ </p>
120
+ </li>
121
+ <li>
122
+ <p>
123
+ Added <tt>a2x(1)</tt> <tt>&#8212;fop-opts=FOP_OPTS</tt> option (patch submitted by Miklos
124
+ Vajna).
125
+ </p>
126
+ </li>
127
+ <li>
128
+ <p>
129
+ Added <tt>a2x(1)</tt> <tt>&#8212;dblatex-opts=DBLATEX_OPTS</tt> option.
130
+ </p>
131
+ </li>
132
+ <li>
133
+ <p>
134
+ Added Mikhail Yakshin's FOP 0.95 patch which fixes a long-standing
135
+ <tt>fo.xsl</tt> problem and allows PDF's to be generated with FOP 0.95
136
+ (previously had to use FOP 0.20.5).
137
+ </p>
138
+ </li>
139
+ <li>
140
+ <p>
141
+ The User Guide has been updated and outdated FOP configuration and
142
+ installation sections removed.
143
+ </p>
144

145

146
+ <div class="ilist"><div class="title">Bug fixes</div><ul>
147

148

149

693
+ Rather than proliferate a confusing number of filter block
694

695
+ belonging to DelimitedBlock filters distributed with <em>AsciiDoc</em> will
696
+ consist of a word (normally a noun identifying the block content)
697
+ followed by four or more tilde characters. This has necessitated
698
+ changing existing filter delimiters (the old delimiters still work
699
+ but may be deprecated in future versions):

701
+ <div class="ilist"><ul>
702

703

704

707

708

709

710

713

714
+ </ul></div>
715

716
+ <li>
717
+ <p>
718
+ Conditionally redefined subscript and superscripting so they use the
719

720

721

722

724

729

730

+ <p>
2051
+ The convention of using a <tt>.asc</tt> file extension for <em>AsciiDoc</em> files
2052
+ has been dropped in favor of the familiar <tt>.txt</tt> extension. It makes
2053
+ more sense in that <em>AsciiDoc</em> is a text presentation format and
2054
+ because <tt>.asc</tt> clashed with the same extension used by other
2055
+ applications. It's only a naming convention &#8212; you don't have to
2056
+ switch if you don't want to.

2059

2060
