asciitor 1.3 Release Notes

Material 3, focused editing, reader themes, and document-preview improvements in asciitor 1.3.

asciitor 1.3 introduces a cleaner, more accessible visual system while keeping documents at the centre of the experience.

Highlights

A cleaner Material 3 interface

  • The application now uses Material 3 components and a complete, purpose-built colour system in both light and dark mode.

  • Strong colours are reserved for meaningful actions and selections, while quieter surfaces make navigation and settings easier to scan.

  • Text, icons, controls, borders, and selected states use clearer contrast and semantic colour roles.

A focused editor

  • The editor now uses a calm document canvas instead of appearing like a large filled form or dialog overlay.

  • Source text, cursor, handles, and selection colours remain readable in light and dark mode.

  • Editing behaviour and document persistence remain unchanged.

Reader themes for comfortable previewing

  • Choose between System, Paper, Sepia, and Dark document themes independently of the application theme.

  • Paper is now the default reader theme for new installations.

  • Preview colours cover prose, headings, links, code, quotations, tables, and dividers as one coordinated reading system.

  • Printed and PDF output always uses a legible white-paper palette, regardless of the selected reader theme.

A better theme sample flow

  • Settings retains a compact inline reading sample for quick adjustments.

  • A new action opens a representative AsciiDoc sample in the normal full-screen preview, where themes can be checked with realistic headings, lists, code, quotations, and tables.

  • Returning from the sample restores the previous Settings position, making comparisons quicker.

Document compatibility and preview polish

  • AsciiDoc files incorrectly labelled as generic binary files by a document provider can now be selected and opened when their filename has a supported extension.

  • Files opened from another file manager now request editing access when Android initially grants read-only access, instead of failing with a permission-denied message.

  • Generated tables of contents no longer show unwanted list bullets.

  • The app now targets current Android platform requirements.

Google Play "What’s new"

Version 1.3 introduces a cleaner Material 3 interface, a focused document editor, and independent System, Paper, Sepia, and Dark reader themes. Paper is now the default. Explore themes with a full sample document, enjoy reliable white-paper PDF output, open more AsciiDoc files from Android providers, and see cleaner tables of contents.
