It was always possible to include raw DocBook tags in a markdown
document, but now pandoc will be able to distinguish block from
inline tags and behave accordingly. Thus, for example,
<sidebar>
hello
</sidebar>
will not be wrapped in `<para>` tags.
`--mathjax` now takes an optional URL argument. If it is not provided,
pandoc links directly to the (secure) mathjax CDN.
This is what they now recommend. Thanks to dsanson.
Instead of latex.template, we now have default.latex.
An appropriate extension is added automatically if the value of
`--template` has no extension. So, `pandoc --template=special -t latex`
looks for `special.latex`, while `pandoc --template=special -t man`
looks for `special.man`.
Deprecated `writerXeTeX` and the `--xetex` option.
The latex writer now produces a file that can be processed
by latex, pdflatex, lualatex, or xelatex, so this option isn't
needed.
The option is still neded in markdown2pdf, however, which
has been modified to take some options that aren't in pandoc.
* Markdown syntax description from README now goes in pandoc_markdown.5.
* Refactored man page construction functions, putting more of
the work in MakeManPages.hs.
+ <nav> for TOC, <figure> for figures, type attribute in <ol>.
+ Don't add math javascript in html5.
+ Use style attributes instead of deprecated width, align.
+ html template: move <title> after <meta>.
Note: charset needs to be declared before title.
+ slidy and s5 templates: move <title> after <meta>.
+ html template: Added link to html5 shim for IE.
+ Make --html5 have an effect only for 'html' writer (not s5, slidy, epub).
+ Added writerHtml5 writer option.
+ Added --html5 option.
+ Added support for lang in html tag (so you can do
'pandoc -s --V lang=en', for example).
+ Updated html template with conditionals for HTML5.
+ When HTML5 selected, use <header> tag around title in document,
and use <section> tags instead of <div>s if --section-divs
specified.
* Added Text.Pandoc.Pretty.
This is better suited for pandoc than the 'pretty' package.
One advantage is that we now get proper wrapping; Emph [Inline]
is no longer treated as a big unwrappable unit. Previously
we only got breaks for spaces at the "outer level." We can also
more easily avoid doubled blank lines. Performance is
significantly better as well.
* Removed Text.Pandoc.Blocks.
Text.Pandoc.Pretty allows you to define blocks and concatenate
them.
* Modified markdown, RST, org readers to use Text.Pandoc.Pretty
instead of Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ.
* Text.Pandoc.Shared: Added writerColumns to WriterOptions.
* Markdown, RST, Org writers now break text at writerColumns.
* Added --columns command-line option, which sets stColumns
and writerColumns.
* Table parsing: If the size of the header > stColumns,
use the header size as 100% for purposes of calculating
relative widths of columns.
This is better done on the resulting HTML; use the xss-sanitize library
for this. xss-sanitize is based on pandoc's sanitization, but improves
it.
- Removed stateSanitize from ParserState.
- Removed --sanitize-html option.
Resolves issue #258.
Note that there are some differences in how docutils and
pandoc treat footnotes. Currently pandoc ignores the numeral
or symbol used in the note; footnotes are put in an auto-numbered
ordered list.
