20 * docutils/docs/ref/docutils.dtd:
22 - Enable validation of Docutils XML documents against the DTD:
24 Use attribute type NMTOKEN instead of REFID for the `refid` attribute
25 and NMTOKENS for `backrefs`: REFID refers to an ID type instance,
26 however, the `ids` attribute cannot use the ID type because `XML only
27 allows one ID per Element Type`__ and doesn't support a multiple-ID

767 directive to select a range of lines.

812 - Correctly write length unit ``pt`` as ``bp`` in LaTeX.

1972 * docutils/parsers/rst/directives/body.py:
1974 - Added basic "table" directive.
1976 * docutils/parsers/rst/directives/images.py:
1978 - Added "target" option to "image" directive.
1979 - Added name attribute to references containing the reference name only
1980 through whitespace_normalize_name (no case changes).
1982 * docutils/parsers/rst/directives/misc.py:

1985 problems on SourceForge (``libssl.so.2`` unavailable?).
1986 - Added the "role" directive for declaring custom interpreted text
1989 * docutils/parsers/rst/directives/parts.py:
1991 - The "contents" directive does more work up-front, creating the
1992 "topic" and "title", and leaving the "pending" node for the
1993 transform. Allows earlier reference resolution; fixes subtle bug.
1995 * docutils/parsers/rst/languages/af.py: Added to project; Afrikaans
1996 mappings by Jannie Hofmeyr.

2014 transform. Allows earlier reference resolution; fixes subtle bug.
2015 - Added support for disabling of section numbering.
2017 * docutils/transforms/references.py:
2019 - Verifying that external targets are truly targets and not indirect
2020 references. This is because we are now adding a "name" attribute to
2021 references in addition to targets. Note sure if this is correct!
2022 - Added code to hook into the unknown_reference_resolvers list for a
2023 transformer in resolve_indirect_target. This allows the
2024 unknown_reference_resolvers to keep around indirect targets which
2025 docutils doesn't know about.
2026 - Added specific error message for duplicate targets.
2028 * docutils/transforms/universal.py:
2030 - Added FilterMessages transform (removes system messages below the
2031 verbosity threshold).

2033 to FinalCheckVisitor for application-specific handling of
2034 unresolvable references.

2054 and store them in a dictionary as the "parts" attribute of the writer.
2055 Contributed by Reggie Dugard at the Docutils sprint at PyCon DC 2004.
2056 - Added proper support for the "scale" attribute of the "image"
2057 element. Contributed by Brent Cook.
2058 - Added ``--initial-header-level`` option.
2059 - Fixed bug: the body_pre_docinfo segment depended on there being a
2060 docinfo; if no docinfo, the document title was incorporated into
2061 the body segment. Adversely affected the publish_parts interface.
2063 * docutils/writers/latex2e.py:
2065 - Changed default stylesheet to "no stylesheet" to avoid latex complaining
2066 about a missing file.
