Asciidoctor PDF 2.3.0 introduces several enhancements and bug fixes. For a complete list of changes, see the CHANGELOG.

Enhancements

  • Place footnotes below last block of content, offset by the specified amount, when the footnotes-margin-top theme key is a fixed value (e.g. 0).

  • Insert column break instead of page break in multi-column layout if column role is specified on the page break macro.

  • Allow page or column break to be forced using always option (e.g., [%always]).

  • Use a relative font size for big and small roles in the built-in themes.

  • Use the default-for-print theme by default (no theme is specified) if media is print or prepress.

  • Support text alignment roles on all styled paragraphs and verse blocks.

Bug fixes

  • Strip formatting added to source block by custom subs when syntax highlighter is enabled.

  • Only indent text that starts at left margin (i.e., when text align is left or justify).

  • Correctly compute height of heading and caption for orphan prevention.

  • Honor theme settings (prose-margin-inner and prose-text-indent-inner) for inner paragraphs in abstract.

  • Prevent footnote label from being split across lines.

  • Keep footnote label with preceding adjacent text.

Compliance

  • Remove support for deprecated spread role on table.
