🎉 New

• CSS counters and generated content: ::before and ::after with content (strings, counter(), counters(), attr()), and counter-reset and counter-increment. Headings can be numbered from the stylesheet, 1., 1.1, 1.2, and the numbers appear in the table of contents and the PDF outline as well. Fixes :issue:112.
• overflow and text-overflow: a line wider than a block whose overflow is not visible is cut at the block's edge, and text-overflow: ellipsis ends it with "…". With white-space: nowrap this gives a one-line cell or block that ends in an ellipsis. The line used to run on past the block, over whatever came next. Fixes :issue:698.
• <pdf:insertpdf src="annex.pdf" pages="1-3"/> inserts the pages of an existing PDF where it is written, each in its own size. They are numbered and counted with the rest of the document, so <pdf:pagecount> and the table of contents include them. Fixes :issue:551.

🐛 Bug-Fixes

• A document that skips heading levels -- one that starts at <h2>, or goes from <h1> to <h3> -- no longer repeats a heading in the PDF's outline for every level it skipped. Each entry goes under the nearest heading before it with a lower level, or at the top with none, as in a browser's document outline.
• A document with a page background and encrypt with an owner password only comes out unencrypted, as it always has: the background is merged in by writing the document again, which cannot reapply the encryption. That now logs a warning saying so, instead of happening silently.
• A table inside a table cell goes on from page to page, starting where its row starts and in print of its own size, as in a browser. It was moved whole to the next page and shrunk to fit it, down to unreadable text for a long one. -pdf-keep-in-frame-mode on the cell still asks for the old behaviour. Fixes :issue:402.
• An integer attribute whose value is not a number, such as <ol start="abc"> or <td colspan="x">, logs a warning and is ignored, as a browser does. It raised ValueError and the whole conversion failed. (:pr:851)
