 - **NEW**: Highlight: If `linenums` is enabled globally via the `highlight` extension, and a code block specifies a line
   number of zero (e.g. SuperFences), disable line numbers for that code block.
+- **FIX**: Snippets: Add missing documentation for `auto_append` feature that was added in 8.2.
 - **FIX**: Highlight: When `attr_list` is enabled, attributes were not properly added to Pygments code blocks in the
   `table` format. (#1505)

+## Auto-Append Snippets
+
+Snippets is designed as a general way to target a file and inject it into a given Markdown file, but some times,
+especially when building documentation via a library like [MkDocs][mkdocs], it may make sense to provide a way to append
+a given file to *every* Markdown document without having to manually include them via Snippet syntax in each page. This
+is especially useful for including a page of reference links or abbreviations on every page.
+
+Snippets provides an `auto_append` option that allows a user to specify a list of files that will be automatically
+appended to every to Markdown content. Each entry in the list searched for relative to the `base_path` entries.

 ## Options
 
-Option         | Type   | Default         | Description
--------------- | ------ | --------------- |------------
-`base_path`    | string | `#!py3 ['.']`   | A list of strings indicating base paths to be used resolve snippet locations. For legacy purposes, a single string will also be accepted as well. Base paths will be resolved in the order they are specified. When resolving a file name, the first match wins. If a file name is specified, the base name will be matched.
-`encoding`     | string | `#!py3 'utf-8'` | Encoding to use when reading in the snippets.
-`check_paths`  | bool   | `#!py3 false`   | Make the build fail if a snippet can't be found.
