v1.5.0 Beta 7

on GitHub

Summary

The feedback from the last beta led us to discover several important bugs, which warrants yet another beta release. But with over 700 tests, we're more confident than ever the release candidate for the 1.5.0 release is just over the horizon. Here's what changed to get us one step closer:

The section indent feature is now implemented properly. Despite being introduced in the last release, we discovered it was compounding the indent for each nested section and block. Now the section indent is applied once for the whole document. We also discovered the implicit page-count attribute in the running content was off if the start at for the running content or page numbering was changed. In fact, a lot of logic related to implicit attributes in the running content was cleaned up. The PDF outline would disappear or show the wrong doctitle in certain scenarios, which is now fixed. If the document is missing a doctitle, it defaults to the value of the untitled-label attribute. Individual elements on the title page can be disabled from the theme using the display: none property. Using the image macro, you can now import ranges of pages from another PDF document as specified by the pages attribute. The PDF optimizer integrated into the converter in the last release is now available as a standalone bin script named asciidoctor-pdf-optimize. And, finally, the text decoration can be controlled using a custom inline role. Oh, and did we mention there are now > 700 tests? 🎉
