You can -also use 'cabal install' to get the latest version from HackageDB: - - cabal update - cabal install pandoc - -Thanks to everyone who contributed by filing bug reports or contributing -patches, and especially to Andrea Rossato, Nathan Gass, Paul Rivier, and -Puneeth Chaganti for their major contributions to this version. - -New features ------------- - - * New `textile` reader and writer. Thanks to Paul Rivier for contributing - the `textile` reader, an almost complete implementation of the textile - syntax used by the ruby [RedCloth library](http://redcloth.org/textile). - Resolves Issue #51. - - * New `org` writer, for Emacs Org-mode, contributed by Puneeth Chaganti. - - * New `json` reader and writer, for reading and writing a JSON - representation of the native Pandoc AST. These are much faster - than the `native` reader and writer, and should be used for - serializing Pandoc to text. To convert between the JSON representation - and native Pandoc, use `encodeJSON` and `decodeJSON` from - `Text.JSON.Generic`. - - * Support for citations using Andrea Rossato's `citeproc-hs` 0.3. - You can now write, for example, - - Water is wet [see @doe99, pp. 33-35; also @smith04, ch. 1]. - - and, when you process your document using `pandoc`, specifying - a citation style using `--csl` and a bibliography using `--bibliography`, - the citation will be replaced by an appropriately formatted - citation, and a list of works cited will be added to the end - of the document. - - This means that you can switch effortlessly between different citation - and bibliography styles, including footnote, numerical, and author-date - formats. The bibliography can be in any of the following formats: MODS, - BibTeX, BibLaTeX, RIS, EndNote, EndNote XML, ISI, MEDLINE, Copac, or JSON. - See the README for further details. - - Citations are supported in the markdown reader, using a special - syntax, and in the LaTeX reader, using natbib or biblatex syntax. - (Thanks to Nathan Gass for the natbib and biblatex support.) - - * A new `--mathjax` option has been added for displaying - math in HTML using MathJax. Resolves issue #259. - - * You can now define LaTeX macros in markdown documents, and pandoc - will apply them to TeX math. For example, - - \newcommand{\plus}[2]{#1 + #2} - $\plus{3}{4}$ - - yields `3+4`. Since the macros are applied in the reader, they - will work in every output format, not just LaTeX. - - * LaTeX macros can also be used in LaTeX documents (both in math - and in non-math contexts). - - * Footnotes are now supported in the RST reader. (Note, however, - that pandoc ignores the numeral or symbol used in the note; - footnotes are put in an auto-numbered ordered list.) - Resolves issue #258. - - * `markdown2pdf` now supports `--data-dir`. - - * Improved prettyprinting in most formats. Lines will be wrapped - more evenly and duplicate blank lines avoided. - - * New `--columns` command-line option sets the column width for - line wrapping and relative width calculations for tables. - - * Made `--smart` work in HTML, RST, and Textile readers, as well - as markdown. - - * Added support for listings package in LaTeX reader - (Puneeth Chaganti). - - * Added support for simple tables in the LaTeX reader. - - * Significant performance improvements in many readers and writers. - -API and program changes ------------------------ - - * Moved `Text.Pandoc.Definition` from the `pandoc` package to a new - auxiliary package, `pandoc-types`. This will make it possible for other - programs to supply output in Pandoc format, without depending on the whole - pandoc package. - - * Moved generic functions to `Text.Pandoc.Generic`. Deprecated - `processWith`, replacing it with two functions, `bottomUp` and `topDown`. - Removed previously deprecated functions `processPandoc` and `queryPandoc`. - - * Added `Text.Pandoc.Builder`, for building `Pandoc` structures. - - * `Text.Pandoc` now exports association lists `readers` and `writers`. - - * Removed deprecated `-C/--custom-header` option. - Use `--template` instead. - - * `--biblio-file` has been replaced by `--bibliography`. - `--biblio-format` has been removed; pandoc now guesses the format - from the file extension (see README). - - * pandoc will treat an argument as a URI only if it has an - `http(s)` scheme. Previously pandoc would treat some - Windows pathnames beginning with `C:/` as URIs. - - * pandoc now adds a newline to the end of its output in fragment - mode (= not `--standalone`). - - * The `--sanitize-html` option and the `stateSanitize` field in - `ParserState` have been removed. Sanitization is better done in the - resulting HTML using `xss-sanitize`, which is based on pandoc's - sanitization, but improved. - - * Added `Text.Pandoc.Pretty`. This is better suited for pandoc than the - `pretty` package. Changed all writers that used - `Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ` to use `Text.Pandoc.Pretty` instead. - - * Removed `Text.Pandoc.Blocks`. `Text.Pandoc.Pretty` allows you to define - blocks and concatenate them, so a separate module is no longer needed. - - * `Text.Pandoc.Shared`: - - + Added `writerColumns` to `WriterOptions`. - + Added `normalize`. - + Removed unneeded prettyprinting functions: - `wrapped`, `wrapIfNeeded`, `wrappedTeX`, `wrapTeXIfNeeded`, `hang'`, - `BlockWrapper`, `wrappedBlocksToDoc`. - + Made `splitBy` take a test instead of an element. - + Added `findDataFile`, refactored `readDataFile`. - + Added `stringify`. Rewrote `inlineListToIdentifier` using `stringify`. - + Fixed `inlineListToIdentifier` to treat '\160' as ' '. - - * `Text.Pandoc.Readers.HTML`: - - + Removed `rawHtmlBlock`, `anyHtmlBlockTag`, `anyHtmlInlineTag`, - `anyHtmlTag`, `anyHtmlEndTag`, `htmlEndTag`, `extractTagType`, - `htmlBlockElement`, `htmlComment` - + Added `htmlTag`, `htmlInBalanced`, `isInlineTag`, `isBlockTag`, - `isTextTag` - - * Moved `smartPunctuation` from `Text.Pandoc.Readers.Markdown` - to `Text.Pandoc.Readers.Parsing`, and parameterized it with - an inline parser. - - * Ellipses are no longer allowed to contain spaces. - Previously we allowed '. . .', ' . . . ', etc. This caused - too many complications, and removed author's flexibility in - combining ellipses with spaces and periods. - - * Allow linebreaks in URLs (treat as spaces). Also, a string of - consecutive spaces or tabs is now parsed as a single space. If you have - multiple spaces in your URL, use `%20%20`. - - * `Text.Pandoc.Parsing`: - - + Removed `refsMatch`. - + Hid `Key` constructor. - + Removed custom `Ord` and `Eq` instances for `Key`. - + Added `toKey` and `fromKey` to convert between `Key` and `[Inline]`. - + Generalized type on `readWith`. - - * Small change in calculation of relative widths of table columns. - If the size of the header > the specified column width, use - the header size as 100% for purposes of calculating - relative widths of columns. - - * Markdown writer now uses some pandoc-specific features when `--strict` - is not specified: \ newline is used for a hard linebreak instead of - two spaces then a newline. And delimited code blocks are used when - there are attributes. - - * HTML writer: improved gladTeX output by setting ENV appropriately - for display or inline math (Jonathan Daugherty). - - * LaTeX writer: Use `\paragraph`, `\subparagraph` for level 4,5 headers. - - * LaTeX reader: - - + `\label{foo}` and `\ref{foo}` now become `{foo}` instead of `(foo)`. - + `\index{}` commands are skipped. - - * Added `fontsize` variable to default LaTeX template. - This makes it easy to set the font size using `markdown2pdf`: - `markdown2pdf -V fontsize=12pt input.txt`. - - * The `COLUMNS` environment variable no longer has any effect. - -Under-the-hood improvements ---------------------------- - - * Completely rewrote HTML reader using tagsoup as a lexer. The - new reader is faster and more accurate. - - * Replaced `escapeStringAsXML` with a faster version. - - * Remove duplications in documentation by generating the - pandoc man page from README, using `MakeManPage.hs`. - - * Improvements to testing framework: Removed old `tests/RunTests.hs`. - `cabal test` now runs `test-pandoc`, which is built from - `src/test-pandoc.hs` when the `tests` Cabal flag is set. - This allows the testing framework to have its own dependencies. - - * Added `Interact.hs` to make it easier to use ghci while developing. - `Interact.hs` loads `ghci` from the `src` directory, specifying - all the options needed to load pandoc modules (including - specific package dependencies, which it gets by parsing - dist/setup-config). - - * Added `Benchmark.hs`, testing all readers + writers using criterion. - - * Added `stats.sh`, to make it easier to collect and archive - benchmark and lines-of-code stats. - -Bug fixes ---------- - - * Filenames are encoded as UTF8. Resolves Issue #252. - - * Handle curly quotes better in `--smart` mode. Previously, curly quotes - were just parsed literally, leading to problems in some output formats. - Now they are parsed as `Quoted` inlines, if `--smart` is specified. - Resolves Issue #270. - - * Markdown reader: - - + Allow HTML comments as inline elements in markdown. - So, `aaa <!-- comment --> bbb` can be a single paragraph. - + Fixed superscripts with links: `^[link](/foo)^` gets - recognized as a superscripted link, not an inline note followed by - garbage. - + Fixed regression, making markdown reference keys case-insensitive again. - Resolves Issue #272. - + Properly handle abbreviations (like `Mr.`) at the end of a line. - + Better handling of intraword underscores, avoiding exponential - slowdowns in some cases. Resolves Issue #182. - - * LaTeX reader: - - + Improved parsing of preamble. - Previously you'd get unexpected behavior on a document that - contained `\begin{document}` in, say, a verbatim block. - + Allow spaces between '\begin' or '\end' and '{'. - + Support \L and \l. - - * OpenDocument writer: don't print raw TeX. - - * Markdown writer: Fixed bug in `Image`. URI was getting unescaped twice! - - * LaTeX and ConTeXt: Escape `[` and `]` as `{[}` and `{]}`. - This avoids unwanted interpretation as an optional argument. - - * `:` now allowed in HTML tags. Resolves Issue #274. - |
