<h1>AsciiDoc Version 8.3</h1>

<div id="content">
<div id="preamble">
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>This is significant release, it gets rid of unused cruft, simplifies
the <a href="https://asciidoc.org/newlists.html">lists</a> syntax and
introduces a decent
<a href="https://asciidoc.org/newtables.html">tables</a> syntax.
There are a few fairly minor backward compatibility issues, please
read the <a href="CHANGELOG.html#X1">compatibility issues</a> section in the
CHANGLOG before upgrading.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_new_features">New Features</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
AsciiDoc tables have been redesigned.  The <a href="newtables.html">new
  syntax and features</a> are a huge improvement over the old tables. The
  old tables syntax has been deprecated but is currently still
  processed.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Lists can now be styled like other block elements. This allows a
  single list syntax for <em>glossary</em>, <em>qanda</em> (Question and Answer) and
  <em>bibliography</em> lists instead of having to remember a different
  syntax for each type.  <a href="newlists.html">Here is some more
  information</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Inline passthroughs macros have been improved and block passthrough
  macros added. Attribute substitution can be optionally specified
  when the macro is called.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The passthrough block has a fully transparent passthrough delimited
  block block style called <em>pass</em>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The <em>asciimath</em> and <em>latexmath</em> <a href="userguide.html#X77">passthrough
  macros</a> along with <em>asciimath</em> and <em>latexmath</em>
  <a href="userguide.html#X76">passthrough blocks</a> provide a (backend
  dependent) mechanism for rendering mathematical formulas. There are
  <a href="latexmath.pdf">LaTeX Math</a>, <a href="asciimathml.html">AsciiMathML</a>
  and <a href="latexmathml.html">LaTeXMathML</a> examples on the AsciiDoc
  website.
</p>
</li>

additions and changes.</p></div>
