-Asciidoctor parameters can be customized in Hugo:
-
-Parameter | Default | Comment
---- | --- | --- 
-backend | `html5` | Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
-doctype | `article` | Currently supported Document type is `article`.
-extensions | | Possible extensions are `asciidoctor-html5s`, `asciidoctor-bibtex`, `asciidoctor-diagram`,	`asciidoctor-interdoc-reftext`, `asciidoctor-katex`, `asciidoctor-latex`, `asciidoctor-mathematical`, `asciidoctor-question`, `asciidoctor-rouge`.
-attributes | | Variables to be referenced in your `adoc` file. This is a list of variable name/value maps. See [Asciidoctor#attributes](https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference/#attributes-and-substitutions).
-noheaderorfooter | true | Output an embeddable document, which excludes the header, the footer, and everything outside the body of the document. Don't change this unless you know what you are doing. 
-safemode | `unsafe` | Safe mode level `unsafe`, `safe`, `server` or `secure`. Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
-sectionnumbers | `false` | Auto-number section titles.
-verbose | `false` | Verbosely print processing information and configuration file checks to stderr.
-trace | `false` | Include backtrace information on errors.
-failurelevel | `fatal` | The minimum logging level that triggers a non-zero exit code (failure).
-workingfoldercurrent | `false` | Set the working folder to the rendered `adoc` file, so [include](https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference/#include-files) will work with relative paths. This setting uses the `asciidoctor` cli parameter `--base-dir` and attribute `outdir=`.

+Hugo provides additional settings that don't map directly to Asciidoctor's CLI options:
+
+workingFolderCurrent
+: Sets the working directory to be the same as that of the AsciiDoc file being processed, so that [include](https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference/#include-files) will work with relative paths. This setting uses the `asciidoctor` cli parameter `--base-dir` and attribute `outdir=`. For rendering diagrams with [asciidoctor-diagram](https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoctor-diagram/), `workingFolderCurrent` must be set to `true`.
+
+preserveTOC
+: By default, Hugo removes the table of contents generated by Asciidoctor and provides it through the built-in variable [`.TableOfContents`](/content-management/toc/) to enable further customization and better integration with the various Hugo themes. This option can be set to `true` to preserve Asciidoctor's TOC in the generated page.
+
+Below are all the AsciiDoc related settings in Hugo with their default values:
+
+{{< code-toggle config="markup.asciidocExt" />}}
+
+Example of how to set extensions and attributes:
 
 ```
-[markup.asciidocext]
+[markup.asciidocExt]
     extensions = ["asciidoctor-html5s", "asciidoctor-diagram"]
     workingFolderCurrent = true
-    [markup.asciidocext.attributes]
+    [markup.asciidocExt.attributes]
         my-base-url = "https://example.com/"
         my-attribute-name = "my value"
 ```
 
-Important: External `asciidoctor` requires Hugo rendering to _disk_ to a specific destination folder. It is required to run Hugo with the command option `--destination`!

 In a complex Asciidoctor environment it is sometimes helpful to debug the exact call to your external helper with all 
 parameters. Run Hugo with `-v`. You will get an output like
