Now the `title`, `section`, `header`, and `footer` can all be set
individually in metadata. The `description` variable has been
removed.
Quotes have been added so that spaces are allowed in the title.
If you have a title that begins
COMMAND(1) footer here | header here
pandoc will parse it as before into a title, section, header, and
footer. But you can also specify these elements explicitly.
Closes#885.
* Depend on pandoc 1.12.
* Added yaml dependency.
* `Text.Pandoc.XML`: Removed `stripTags`. (API change.)
* `Text.Pandoc.Shared`: Added `metaToJSON`.
This will be used in writers to create a JSON object for use
in the templates from the pandoc metadata.
* Revised readers and writers to use the new Meta type.
* `Text.Pandoc.Options`: Added `Ext_yaml_title_block`.
* Markdown reader: Added support for YAML metadata block.
Note that it must come at the beginning of the document.
* `Text.Pandoc.Parsing.ParserState`: Replace `stateTitle`,
`stateAuthors`, `stateDate` with `stateMeta`.
* RST reader: Improved metadata.
Treat initial field list as metadata when standalone specified.
Previously ALL fields "title", "author", "date" in field lists
were treated as metadata, even if not at the beginning.
Use `subtitle` metadata field for subtitle.
* `Text.Pandoc.Templates`: Export `renderTemplate'` that takes a string
instead of a compiled template..
* OPML template: Use 'for' loop for authors.
* Org template: '#+TITLE:' is inserted before the title.
Previously the writer did this.
Currently the library is set up with a shim for association
lists, for compatibility, but this can change when the writers
are changed.
New export: `varListToJSON`.
Removed `Empty`.
Simplified template type to a newtype.
The input
[*infile*] [*outfile*]
was getting improperly parsed: "infile" was emphasized, but
"*outfile*" was literal. This was due to failure to parse the
"fallback" in the reference link parser.
Closes#883.
rst2html doesn't add `<p>` tags to list items (even when they are
separated by blank lines) unless there are multiple paragraphs in the
list. This commit changes the RST reader to conform more closely to
what docutils does.
Closes#880.
It would be useful to have a class attribute for the title slide's section tag. For example, this is useful for setting a background image unique to the title slide.
