-==== Built-in attributes

-There are various attributes Asciidoctor recognizes.
-Below is a list of them and what they do.
-
-title:: An override for the title of the document.
-
-NOTE: This attribute, for backwards compatibility, can still be used in the top level configuration options.
-
-Many other attributes are possible.
-Refer to the http://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#attribute-catalog[catalog of document attributes] in the Asciidoctor user manual for a complete list.
-
-More will be added in the future to take advantage of other options and attributes of Asciidoctor.
-Any setting in the attributes section that conflicts with an explicitly named attribute configuration will be overidden by the explicitly named attribute configuration.
-These settings can all be changed in the `<configuration>` section of the plugin section:
