+## Cross-References
+
+Cross-references have had an overhaul in Quarto 1.4 enabling you to do things like:
+
+*   Flexibly define the content of float cross-references, things like figures, tables and code listings, with the new [Cross-Reference Div Syntax](/docs/authoring/cross-references-divs.qmd). For example, @tbl-table is an image treated like a table:
+
+    ::: {layout-ncol="2"}
+
+    ````markdown
+    ::: {#tbl-table}
+
+    ![](table.png)
+
+    An image treated like a table
+
+    :::
+    ````
+
+    ::: {#tbl-table}
+
+    ![](images/crossref-div-table.png)
+
+    An image treated like a table
+
+    :::
+
+    :::
+
+    And notice if you hover over the reference as it appears in the text, you'll get a floating preview of the content---that's new too.
+
+*   Define your own [custom types of float cross-reference](/docs/authoring/cross-references-custom.qmd), which you could use to create cross-references to Videos, Diagrams or [Supplemental Figures](https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/cross-references-custom.html#example-supplemental-figures).
+
+*   Cross-reference [executable code cells](/docs/authoring/cross-references.qmd#code-listings), [callouts](/docs/authoring/cross-references.qmd#callouts) and [Remarks and Solutions](/docs/authoring/cross-references.html#theorems-and-proofs).
+
+Some of the cross-reference work has been behind the scenes which will make other changes to cross-references easier in future releases.
+
+## Manuscripts
+
+Quarto manuscript projects provide a framework for writing and publishing scholarly articles. You can use notebooks (`.qmd` or `.ipynb`) as the source of content and computations, and then publish these computations alongside the manuscript, allowing readers to dive into your code.
+
+The output of a manuscript project is a website containing the article, accessible in multiple formats (e.g., LaTeX, MS Word) through a manuscript website:
+
+::: {layout="[[3,1]]"}
+
+![Article Content](images/article-content.png){fig-alt="A screenshot of the content area on the manuscript webpage. Content shows a title block including the article title, authors, and abstract, body text, and an image with a caption." .border}
+
+![Navigation](images/webpage-menu.png){fig-alt="A screenshot of the menu on the right hand side of the manuscript webpage. The menu has headings: Table of contents, Other Formats, Notebooks and Other Links." .border}
+
+:::
