Polyglot markup is HTML5 that is also valid XHTML. See
<https://www.w3.org/TR/html-polyglot>. With this change, pandoc's
html5 writer creates HTML that is both valid HTML5 and valid XHTML.
See jgm/pandoc-templates#237 for prior discussion.
* Add xml namespace to `<html>` element.
* Make all `<meta>` elements self closing.
See <https://www.w3.org/TR/html-polyglot/#empty-elements>.
* Add `xml:lang` attribute on `<html>` element, defaulting to blank, and
always include `lang` attribute, even when blank. See
<https://www.w3.org/TR/html-polyglot/#language-attributes>.
* Update test files for template changes.
The key justification for having language values default to blank: it
turns out the HTML5 spec requires it (as I read it). Under
[the HTML5 spec, section "3.2.5.3. The lang and xml:lang
attributes"](https://www.w3.org/TR/html/dom.html#the-lang-and-xmllang-attributes),
providing attributes with blank contents both:
* Has meaning, "unknown", and
* Is a MUST (written as "must") if a language value is not provided ...
> The lang attribute (in no namespace) specifies the primary language
> for the element's contents and for any of the element's attributes that
> contain text. Its value must be a valid BCP 47 language tag, or the
> empty string. Setting the attribute to the empty string indicates that
> the primary language is unknown.
In short, it seems that where a language value is not provided then a
blank value MUST be provided for Polyglot Markup conformance, because
the HTML5 spec stipulates a "must". So although the Polyglot Markup spec
is unclear on this issue it would seem that if it was correctly written,
it would therefore require blank attributes.
Further justifications are found at
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-templates/issues/237#issuecomment-275584181
(but the HTML5 spec justification given above would seem to be the
clincher).
In addition to having lang-values-default-to-blank I recommend that, when an
author does not provide a lang value, then upon on pandoc command execution
a warning message like the following be provided:
> Polyglot markup stipulates that 'The root element SHOULD always specify
> the language'. It is therefore recommended you specify a language value in
> your source document. See
> <https://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/> for valid
> language values.
The citations appear at the end of the document as a definition
list in a special div with id `citations`.
Citations link to the definitions.
Added stateCitations to ParserState.
Closes#853.
Instead, resize to 1.
Note, this (together with earlier changes to the Markdown
writer) seems to fix#1785.
The table renders as garbage, but pandoc now completes the conversion
quickly and doesn't get tied up.
* Removed writerEpubStylesheet in WriterOptions.
* Removed `--epub-stylesheet` option.
* Allow `--css` to be used with epub.
* Allow multiple stylesheets to be used.
* Stylesheets will be taken both from `--css` and from
the `stylesheet` metadata field (which can contain either
a file path or a list of them).
Closes#3472, #847.
You can leave an external link as it is by adding the attribute
data-external="1" to the element. Pandoc will then not try to
incorporate its content when `--self-contained` is used. This is
similar to a feature already supported by the EPUB writer.
Closes#2656.

These are often helpful to people writing their own
