When users number their headers, Word understands that as a single item
enumerated list. We make the assumption that such a list is, in fact, a header.
Currently, pandoc has hard-coded the following in order to make tight lists in
LaTeX:
```hs
text "\\itemsep1pt\\parskip0pt\\parsep0pt"
```
Which is fine, but does not allow customizations. For example, the `memoir`
class already has a `\tightlist` declaration for this purpose:
```tex
\newcommand{\tightlist}{%
\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}}
```
I'm proposing to use a similar solution:
```diff
@@ In Writers/LaTeX.hs:
-then text "\\itemsep1pt\\parskip0pt\\parsep0pt"
+then text "\\tightlist"
@@ In templates/default.latex:
+\newcommand{\tightlist}{%
+ \setlength{\itemsep}{1pt}\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}\setlength{\parsep}{0pt}}
```
This allows us to customize the tightness to our needs.
Backward Compatibility
If a person is using a custom LaTeX template (not based upon the `memoir`
class), the `\tightlist` declaration must be added.
Because of the built-in line skip, LaTeX can't handle a section header
as the first element in a list item. (To be precise, it can't handle it
if the list immediately follows a section header, but the instance is
rare enough that we can afford to be a bit more general). This puts a
non-breaking space before the header to solve this problem. We won't see
this space, since the header skips a line before printing anyway.
The output is ugly in LaTeX and this structure seems like it should
probably be avoided. But it is valid HTML and native pandoc, so we
should have some sort of typesettable representation in LaTeX.
Previously text that ended a div would be parsed as Plain
unless there was a blank line before the closing div tag.
Test case:
<div class="first">
This is a paragraph.
This is another paragraph.
</div>
Closes#1591.
Previously we just expected 'title', 'subtitle', 'author', 'date'.
Now we still support those, but also support the format recommended
for epub metadata in the pandoc README:
---
title:
- type: main
text: My Book
- type: subtitle
text: An investigation of metadata
creator:
- role: author
text: John Smith
- role: editor
text: Sarah Jones
identifier:
- scheme: DOI
text: doi:10.234234.234/33

We can now handle all different alignment types, for simple
tables only (no captions, no relative widths, cell contents just
plain inlines). Other tables are still handled using raw HTML.
Addresses #1585 as far as it can be addresssed, I believe.
Removed outdated claim that pandoc will look in the user data
directory if a relative path is specified and the file is not
found locally. Closes#1572.
This makes to docx reader's native output fit with the way the markdown
reader understands its markdown output. Ie, as far as table cells go:
docx -> native == docx -> native -> markdown -> native
(This identity isn't true for other things outside of table cells, of
course).
Currently, pandoc has hard-coded the following in order to make horizontal
rules in LaTeX:
```hs
"\\begin{center}\\rule{3in}{0.4pt}\\end{center}"
```
Which is fine, but does not allow customizations. It also does not take into
consideration the current line width.
I'm proposing this change:
```diff
@@ In Writers/LaTeX.hs:
-"\\begin{center}\\rule{3in}{0.4pt}\\end{center}"
+"\\begin{center}\\rule{0.5\\linewidth}{\\linethickness}\\end{center}"
```
