Hi Dan, thanks a lot! This indeed works:

```clojure
(let [attrs (java.util.HashMap. {})
        opts (java.util.HashMap. {"subs" []})]
    (.createPhraseNode
      this parent, "quoted",
      (str "<abbr title=\"title\">abbreviation</abbr>")
      attrs opts))
```

Is there some introduction to / brief overview of the API where I could learn about the available block x inline contexts and what they mean, and about the possible options and attributes? I feel like a blinded person walking in a maze :-)

> The create_inline_pass helper, which does exactly that, was added in Asciidoctor 2.

How do I use it from Java? If I change the context above to "pass" then it fails with

    java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: org.asciidoctor.jruby.internal.AsciidoctorCoreException: org.jruby.exceptions.NoMethodError: (NoMethodError) undefined method `convert_inline_pass' for #<Asciidoctor::Converter::Html5Converter:0x3227d4d1>

i.e. it is looking for `convert_inline_pass`, not `create_inline_pass`.

> Btw, an extension does not have to use the create* methods. It could just instantiate a new PhraseNode. The create* methods are just helpers.

I have looked into creating my own PhraseNode but the code that does it - https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctorj/blob/6a3a38925dc2683a2ba6d3dcffd6f71c21b7c8d7/asciidoctorj-core/src/main/java/org/asciidoctor/jruby/extension/internal/JRubyProcessor.java#L175 - is currently beyond my understanding, as it calls into the Ruby code that I do not know. And I don't know what I would gain by doing this manually so I will keep to the helpers :)

Thanks a lot!
