John MacFarlane 8547196b44 Markdown reader: ordered sublists must start with 1
(or equivalent, e.g. 'i').  This brings the markdown
parser in line with commonmark, and avoids a lot of
unintended list starts.  Closes #11735.

Note that ordered lists that are not sublists may
still start with numbers other than 1.

Albert Krewinkel e0acb24528 Refactor highlighting options [API Change]
A new command line option `--syntax-highlighting` is provided; it takes
the values `none`, `default`, `idiomatic`, a style name, or a path to a
theme file. It replaces the `--no-highlighting`, `--highlighting-style`,
and `--listings` options.

The `writerListings` and `writerHighlightStyle` fields of the
`WriterOptions` type are replaced with `writerHighlightStyle`.

Albert Krewinkel a36654b222 Lua: add function pandoc.structure.unique_identifier.
The function generates element identifiers based on inlines content.
It's primary use case is the programmatic generation of ID, similar to
what the `auto_identifiers` extension provides for many formats.

Albert Krewinkel b24bba7a20 Add smart_quotes and special_strings extensions for Org
Org mode makes a distinction between smart parsing of quotes, and smart
parsing of special strings like `...`. The finer grained control over
these features is necessary to truthfully reproduce Emacs Org mode
behavior. Special strings are enabled by default, while smart quotes are
disabled.

The behavior of `special_string` is brought closer to the reference
implementation in that `\-` is now treated as a soft hyphen.

Albert Krewinkel 31f74fac06 Lua: support sandboxed parsing with pandoc.read.
The function `pandoc.read` is now taking an optional fourth parameter

Albert Krewinkel d399943759 Lua: Remove prefixes from Lua type names
Lua type names were inconsistent with regard to the use of prefixes; all
prefixes are removed now, and Lua types now have the same name as the
Haskell types.

The use of app-specific prefixes is suggested by the Lua manual to avoid
collisions. However, this shouldn't be a problem with pandoc, as it
cannot be used as a Lua package.

Albert Krewinkel 4cf6ddb027 Lua: allow returning a single filter from filter files
It is now possible to return a single filter from a filter file, e.g.

``` lua
-- Switch single- and double quotes
return {
  Quoted = function (q)
    elem.quotetype = elem.quotetype == 'SingleQuote'
      and 'DoubleQuote' or 'SingleQuote'
    return elem
  end
}

The filter must not contain numerical indexes, or it might be treated as
a list of filters.

Albert Krewinkel 6a88abae3d Lua: keep CommonState object in the registry
The state is an internal value and should be treated as such. The
`PANDOC_STATE` global is merely a copy; unsetting the global no longer

Albert Krewinkel 430d525378 Lua: allow passing an environment to run_lua_filter.
The default is now to use a *copy* of the global environment when running a
filter; this ensures better separation when `run_lua_filter` is used multiple
times. A custom environment can be specified via the optional third parameter.

Albert Krewinkel 83de55bb35 Lua: Set pandoc.List as default metatable for JSON lists

John MacFarlane 03bb426a4a Shared: makeSections behavior changes.
+ When the optional base level parameter is provided, we no
  longer ensure that the sequence of heading levels is gapless
  [behavior change]. Instead, we set the lowest heading level to
  the specified base level, and adjust the others accordingly. If
  an author wants to skip a level, e.g. from level 1 to level 3,
  they can do that. In general, the heading levels specified
  in the source document are preserved; `makeSections` only
  puts them into a hierarchical structure. Closes #9398.

+ Section numbers are now assigned so that the top level
  gets `1`, no matter what heading level is used. So, even
  if the top heading level is 2, numbers will be `1`, `2`, etc.
  rather than `0.1`, `0.2`, as in the past. Closes #5071.

+ We revert to the old behavior when the `--number-offset` option
  is used. So, for example, if a document begins with a level-3
  heading, and `--number-offset=1,2` is used, the top-level section
  numbers will be `1.2.1`, `1.2.2`, etc. This is mainly for
  backwards-compatibility.

Albert KrewinkelandAner Lucero 909ced5153 Support complex figures. [API change]
Thanks and credit go to Aner Lucero, who laid the groundwork for this
feature in the 2021 GSoC project. He contributed many changes, including
modifications to the readers for HTML, JATS, and LaTeX, and to the HTML
and JATS writers.

Shared (Albert Krewinkel):

- The new function `figureDiv`, exported from `Text.Pandoc.Shared`,
  offers a standardized way to convert a figure into a Div element.

Readers (Aner Lucero):

- HTML reader: `<figure>` elements are parsed as figures, with the
  caption taken from the respective `<figcaption>` elements.

- JATS reader: The `<fig>` and `<caption>` elements are parsed into
  figure elements, even if the contents is more complex.

- LaTeX reader: support for figures with non-image contents and for
  subfigures.

- Markdown reader: paragraphs containing just an image are treated as
  figures if the `implicit_figures` extension is enabled. The identifier
  is used as the figure's identifier and the image description is also
  used as figure caption; all other attributes are treated as belonging
  to the image.

Writers (Aner Lucero, Albert Krewinkel):

- DokuWiki, Haddock, Jira, Man, MediaWiki, Ms, Muse, PPTX, RTF, TEI,
  ZimWiki writers: Figures are rendered like Div elements.

- Asciidoc writer: The figure contents is unwrapped; each image in the
  the figure becomes a separate figure.

- Classic custom writers: Figures are passed to the global function
  `Figure(caption, contents, attr)`, where `caption` and `contents` are
  strings and `attr` is a table of key-value pairs.

- ConTeXt writer: Figures are wrapped in a "placefigure" environment
  with `\startplacefigure`/`\endplacefigure`, adding the features
  caption and listing title as properties. Subfigures are place in a
  single row with the `\startfloatcombination` environment.

- DocBook writer: Uses `mediaobject` elements, unless the figure contains
  subfigures or tables, in which case the figure content is unwrapped.

- Docx writer: figures with multiple content blocks are rendered as
  tables with style `FigureTable`; like before, single-image figures are
  still output as paragraphs with style `Figure` or `Captioned Figure`,
  depending on whether a caption is attached.

- DokuWiki writer: Caption and "alt-text" are no longer combined. The
  alt text of a figure will now be lost in the conversion.

- FB2 writer: The figure caption is added as alt text to the images in
  the figure; pre-existing alt texts are kept.

- ICML writer: Only single-image figures are supported. The contents of
  figures with additional elements gets unwrapped.

- HTML writer: the alt text is no longer constructed from the caption,
  as was the case with implicit figures. This reduces duplication, but
  comes at the risk of images that are missing alt texts. Authors should
  take care to provide alt texts for all images.

  Some readers, most notably the Markdown reader with the
  `implicit_figures` extension, add a caption that's identical to the
  image description. The writer checks for this and adds an
  `aria-hidden` attribute to the `<figcaption>` element in that case.

- JATS writer: The `<fig>` and `<caption>` elements are used write
  figures.

- LaTeX writer: complex figures, e.g. with non-image contents and
  subfigures, are supported. The `subfigure` template variable is set if
  the document contains subfigures, triggering the conditional loading
  of the *subcaption* package. Contants of figures that contain tables
  are become unwrapped, as longtable environments are not allowed within
  figures.

- Markdown writer: figures are output as implicit figures if possible,
  via HTML if the `raw_html` extension is enabled, and as Div elements
  otherwise.

- OpenDocument writer: A separate paragraph is generated for each block
  element in a figure, each with style `FigureWithCaption`. Behavior for
  single-image figures therefore remains unchanged.

- Org writer: Only the first element in a figure is given a caption;
  additional block elements in the figure are appended without any
  caption being added.

- RST writer: Single-image figures are supported as before; the contents
  of more complex images become nested in a container of type `float`.

- Texinfo writer: Figures are rendered as float with type `figure`.

- Textile writer: Figures are rendered with the help of HTML elements.

- XWiki: Figures are placed in a group.

John MacFarlane d7960212c0 Replace --epub-chapter-level with --split-level.
Rationale: we need this splitting level now not just in
EPUB but in chunked HTML.

`--epub-chapter-level` will still function as a deprecated
synonynm. `epub-chapter-level` will also continue to work in
defaults files, ande `epub_chapter_level` will still work for
Lua marshalling.

[API changes]

Text.Pandoc.App.Opt: remove `optEpubChapterLevel`, add
`optSplitLevel`.

Text.Pandoc.Options: remove `writerEpubChapterLevel`, add
`writerSplitLevel`.

John MacFarlane 063480accd T.P.Scripting: Refactor the scripting engine.
The new type CustomComponents is exported from T.P.Scripting, and the
ScriptEngine fields are changed. Instead of separate fields for custom
readers and writers, we now have a single function that loads any number
of "components" from a script: these may be custom readers, custom
writers, templates for writers, or extension configs. (Note: it's
possible to have a custom reader and a custom writer for a format
together in the same file.)

Pandoc now checks the folder `custom` in the user's data directory for a
matching script if it can't find one in the local directory. Previously,
the `readers` and `writers` data directories were search for custom
readers and writers, respectively. Scripts in those directories must be
moved to the `custom` folder.

Custom readers used to implement a fallback behavior that allowed to
consume just a string value as input to the `Reader` function. This has
been removed, the first argument is now always a list of sources. Use
`tostring` on that argument to get a string.

Closes #8417.

we used before. This also changes the default `sep` value used in the
`pandoc.utils.blocks_to_inlines` Lua function.
