You can -also use 'cabal install' to get the latest version from HackageDB: - - cabal update - cabal install pandoc - -Thanks to everyone who contributed, either by filing bug reports or by -contributing patches. Here is a summary of the major changes in this -version: - -+ New EPUB and HTML Slidy writers. (Issue #122) - - - [EPUB] is a standard ebook format, used in Apple's iBooks for - the iPad and iPhone, Barnes and Noble's nook reader, the Sony - reader, and many other devices, and by online ebook readers like - [bookworm]. (Amazon's Kindle uses a different format, MobiPocket, - but EPUB books can easily be converted to Kindle format.) Now you - can write your book in markdown and produce an ebook with a single - command! I've put up a short [tutorial here]. - - [Slidy], like S5, is a system for producing HTML+javascript slide shows. - -+ All input is assumed to be UTF-8, no matter what the locale and ghc - version, and all output is UTF-8. This reverts to pre-1.5 behavior. - Also, a BOM, if present, is stripped from the input. - -+ Markdown now supports grid tables, whose cells can contain - arbitrary block elements. (Issue #43) - -+ Sequentially numbered example lists in markdown with `@` marker. - -+ Markdown table captions can begin with a bare colon and no longer need - to include the English word "table." Also, a caption can now occur - either before or after the table. (Issue #227) - -+ New command-line options: - - - `--epub-stylesheet` allows you to specify a CSS file that will - be used to style your ebook. - - `--epub-metadata` allows you to specify metadata for the ebook. - - `--offline` causes the generated HTML slideshow to include all - needed scripts and stylesheets. - - `--webtex` causes TeX math to be converted to images using the - Google Charts API (unless a different URL is specified). - - `--section-divs` causes div tags to be added around each section - in an HTML document. (Issue #230, 239) - -+ Default behavior of S5 writer in standalone mode has changed: - previously, it would include all needed scripts and stylesheets - in the generated HTML; now, only links are included unless - the `--offline` option is used. - -+ Default behavior of HTML writer has changed. Between 1.2 and 1.5, - pandoc would enclose sections in div tags with identifiers on the - div tags, so that the sections can be manipulated in javascript. - This caused undesirable interactions with raw HTML div tags. So, - starting with 1.6, the default is to put the identifiers directly - on the header tags, and not to include the divs. The `--section-divs` - option selects the 1.2-1.5 behavior. - -+ API changes: - - - `HTMLMathMethod`: Added `WebTeX`, removed `MimeTeX`. - - `WriterOptions`: Added `writerUserDataDir`, `writerSourceDirectory`, - `writerEPUBMetadata` fields. Removed `writerIncludeBefore`, - `writerIncludeAfter`. - - Added `headerShift` to `Text.Pandoc.Shared`. - - Moved parsing code and `ParserState` from `Text.Pandoc.Shared` - to a new module, `Text.Pandoc.Parsing`. - - Added `stateHasChapters` to `ParserState`. - - Added `HTMLSlideVariant`. - - Made `KeyTable` a map instead of an association list. - - Added accessors for `Meta` fields (`docTitle`, `docAuthors`, `docDate`). - - `Pandoc`, `Meta`, `Inline`, and `Block` have been given `Ord` instances. - - Reference keys now have a type of their own (`Key`), with its - own `Ord` instance for case-insensitive comparison. - - Added `Text.Pandoc.Writers.EPUB`. - - Added `Text.Pandoc.UUID`. - - Removed `Text.Pandoc.ODT`, added `Text.Pandoc.Writers.ODT`. - Removed `saveOpenDocumentAsODT`, added `writeODT`. - - Added `Text.Pandoc.Writers.Native` and `writeNative`. - Removed `prettyPandoc`. - - Added `Text.Pandoc.UTF8` for portable UTF8 string IO. - - Removed `Text.Pandoc.Writers.S5` and the `writeS5` function. - Moved `s5Includes` to a new module, `Text.Pandoc.S5`. - To write S5, you now use `writeHtml` with `writerSlideVariant` - set to `S5Slides` or `SlidySlides`. - -+ Template changes. If you use custom templates, please update them, - particularly if you use syntax highlighting with pandoc. The old HTML - templates hardcoded highlighting CSS that will no longer work with - the most recent version of highlighting-kate. - - - HTML template: avoid empty meta tag if no date. - - HTML template: Use default highlighting CSS from highlighting-kate - instead of hard-coding the CSS into the template. - - HTML template: insert-before text goes before the title, and - immediately after the <body> tag, as documented. (Issue #241) - - Added slidy and s5 templates. - - Added amssymb to preamble of latex template. (github Issue 1) - -+ Removed excess newlines at the end of output. Note: because output - will not contain an extra newline, you may need to make adjustments - if you are inserting pandoc's output into a template. - -+ In S5 and slidy, horizontal rules now cause a new slide, so you - are no longer limited to one slide per section. - -+ Improved handling of code in man writer. Inline code is now monospace, - not bold, and code blocks now use .nf (no fill) and .IP (indented para). - -+ HTML reader parses `<tt>` as Code. (Issue #247) - -+ html+lhs output now contains bird tracks, even when compiled without - highlighting support. (Issue #242) - -+ Colons are now no longer allowed in autogenerated XML/HTML identifiers, - since they have a special meaning in XML. - -+ Code improvements in ODT writer. Remote images are now replaced with - their alt text rather than a broken link. - -+ LaTeX reader improvements: - - - Made latex `\section`, `\chapter` parsers more forgiving of whitespace. - - Parse `\chapter{}` in latex. - - Changed `rawLaTeXInline` to accept `\section`, `\begin`, etc. - - Use new `rawLaTeXInline'` in LaTeX reader, and export `rawLaTeXInline` - for use in markdown reader. - - Fixes bug wherein `\section{foo}` was not recognized as raw TeX - in markdown document. - -+ LaTeX writer: images are automatically shrunk if they would extend - beyond the page margin. - -+ Plain, markdown, RST writers now use unicode for smart punctuation. - -+ Man writer converts math to unicode when possible, as in other writers. - -+ `markdown2pdf` can now recognize citeproc options. - -+ Command-line arguments are converted to UTF-8. (Issue #234) - -+ `Text.Pandoc.TeXMath` has been rewritten to use texmath's parser. - This allows it to handle a wider range of formulas. Also, if a formula - cannot be converted, it is left in raw TeX; formulas are no longer - partially converted. - -+ Unicode curly quotes are left alone when parsing smart quotes. (Issue #143) - -+ Cabal file changes: - - - Removed parsec < 3 restriction. - - Added 'threaded' flag for architectures where GHC lacks a threaded - runtime. - - Use 'threaded' only for markdown2pdf; it is not needed for pandoc. - - Require highlighting-kate 0.2.7. - -+ Use explicit imports from `Data.Generics`. Otherwise we have a - conflict with the 'empty' symbol, introduced in syb >= 0.2. (Issue #237) - -+ New data files: slidy/slidy.min.js, slidy/slidy.min.css, epub.css. - -[EPUB]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB -[Slidy]: http://www.w3.org/Talks/Tools/Slidy -[bookworm]: http://bookworm.oreilly.com/ -[tutorial here]: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/epub.html - |
