2021-05-09Change reader types, allowing better tracking of source positions.John MacFarlane1-0/+195
Previously, when multiple file arguments were provided, pandoc simply concatenated them and passed the contents to the readers, which took a Text argument. As a result, the readers had no way of knowing which file was the source of any particular bit of text. This meant that we couldn't report accurate source positions on errors or include accurate source positions as attributes in the AST. More seriously, it meant that we couldn't resolve resource paths relative to the files containing them (see e.g. #5501, #6632, #6384, #3752). Add Text.Pandoc.Sources (exported module), with a `Sources` type and a `ToSources` class. A `Sources` wraps a list of `(SourcePos, Text)` pairs. [API change] A parsec `Stream` instance is provided for `Sources`. The module also exports versions of parsec's `satisfy` and other Char parsers that track source positions accurately from a `Sources` stream (or any instance of the new `UpdateSourcePos` class). Text.Pandoc.Parsing now exports these modified Char parsers instead of the ones parsec provides. Modified parsers to use a `Sources` as stream [API change]. The readers that previously took a `Text` argument have been modified to take any instance of `ToSources`. So, they may still be used with a `Text`, but they can also be used with a `Sources` object. In Text.Pandoc.Error, modified the constructor PandocParsecError to take a `Sources` rather than a `Text` as first argument, so parse error locations can be accurately reported. T.P.Error: showPos, do not print "-" as source name.
