Asciidoctor: New, Noteworthy, and Beyond
summary
Asciidoctor adds concrete features: configurable xref styles (full/short), advanced include tag filtering that can exclude tags and strip commented blocks, embedded SVG and diagram output (PlantUML/Graphviz blocks), and an asciidoctor-bespoke slide engine. Performance improves — 100× faster than the original Python and ~35% faster in the last release, turning a 1‑day build of 5,000 docs into ~5 minutes. Ecosystem growth: 28 localized labels, ~120 bug fixes, 2.5M+ downloads, asciidoctorj and asciidoctor.js parity, editor plugins, and Antora multi-repo playbook for versioned site generation.
