pandoc (0.3) unstable; urgency=low [ Recai Oktaş ] * Revamped build process to conform to debian standards and created a proper debian package. Closes: #391666. * Modified build process to support GHC 6.6. + The package can still be compiled using GHC 6.4.2, though because of dependencies the "make deb" target works only with GHC 6.6+. + The script 'cabalize' is used to create an appropriate 'Pandoc.cabal' from 'Pandoc.cabal.in', depending on the GHC and Cabal versions. * Refactored template processing (fillTemplates.pl). * Modified wrapper scripts to make them more robust and portable. To avoid code duplication and ensure consistency, wrappers are generated via a templating system from templates in src/wrappers. + Wrappers now accept multiple filenames, when appropriate. + Spaces and tabs allowed in filenames. + getopts shell builtin is used for portable option parsing. + Improved html2markdown's web grabber code, making it more robust, configurable and verbose. Added '-e', '-g' options. Possible use case: # Use wget by setting timeout to 10 seconds and limit retries to 2. html2markdown -g 'wget --timeout=10 --tries=2' [ John MacFarlane ] * Changes in pandoc options: + Allow options to follow or precede arguments. + Changed '--smartypants' to '--smart' and adjusted symbols accordingly. + Added '--strict' option for maximum compatibility with official Markdown syntax. + Added '-o/--output' option to send output to a file. + Added '-d/--debug' option: - Prints OUTPUT= followed by output filename (or blank) to stderr. - Prints INPUT= followed by input filename to stderr, for each input file (if any). - Sends output to STDOUT, even if output file was specified. - This is intended mainly to make it easier to write wrappers. + Modified '-v' and '-h' output to go to STDERR, not STDOUT, and return error condition (2). This is helpful for writing wrappers. + Reformatted usage message so that it doesn't wrap illegibly. + Removed extra blanks after '-h' and '-D' output. + Added copyright message to '-v' output, modeled after FSF messages. * Added docbook writer. * Added implicit setting of default input and output format based on input and output filename extensions. These defaults are overridden if explicit input and output formats are specified using '-t', '-f', '-r', or '-w' options. Documented in pandoc(1) man page and README. * Allow ordered list items to begin with (single) letters, as well as numbers. The list item marker may now be terminated either by '.' or by ')'. This extension to standard markdown is documented in README. * Revised footnote syntax. (See README for full details.) The '[^1]' format now standard in markdown extensions is supported, as are inline footnotes with this syntax: '^[My note.]'. The earlier footnote syntax '^(1)' is no longer supported. * Improved HTML representation of footnotes. All footnotes are now auto-numbered and appear in an ordered list at the end of the HTML document. Since the default appearance is now acceptable, the old footnote styles have been removed from the HTML header. * Bug fixes: + Fixed a serious bug in the markdown, LaTeX, and RST readers. These readers ran 'runParser' on processed chunks of text to handle embedded block lists in lists and quotation blocks. But then any changes made to the parser state in these chunks was lost, as the state is local to the parser. So, for example, footnotes didn't work in quotes or list items. The fix: instead of calling runParser on some raw text, use setInput to make it the input, then parse it, then use setInput to restore the input to what it was before. This is shorter and more elegant, and it fixes the problem. + Fixed bug in notFollowedBy' combinator (adding 'try' before 'parser'). Adjusted code that uses this combinator accordingly. + Fixed bug in RTF writer that caused improper indentation on footnotes occurring in indented blocks like lists. + Fixed parsing of metadata in LaTeX reader. Now the title, author, and date are parsed correctly. Everything else in the preamble is skipped. + Modified escapedChar in LaTeX reader to allow a '\' at the end of a line to count as escaped whitespace. + Modified LaTeX reader to produce inline links rather than reference links. Otherwise, links in footnotes aren't handled properly. + Fixed handling of titles in links in Markdown reader, so that embedded quotation marks are now handled properly. + Fixed Markdown reader's handling of embedded brackets in links. + Fixed Markdown reader so that it only parses bracketed material as a reference link if there is actually a corresponding key. + Revised inline code parsing in Markdown reader to conform to markdown standard. Now any number of `s can begin inline code, which will end with the same number of `s. For example, to have two backticks as code, write ``` `` ```. * Made handling of code blocks more consistent. Previously, some readers allowed trailing newlines, while others stripped them. Now, all readers strip trailing newlines in code blocks. Writers insert a newline at the end of code blocks as needed. * Modified readers to make spacing at the end of output more consistent. * Minor improvements to LaTeX reader: + '\thanks' now treated like a footnote. + Simplified parsing of LaTeX command arguments and options. commandArgs now returns a list of arguments OR options (in whatever order they appear). The brackets are included, and a new stripFirstAndLast function is provided to strip them off when needed. This fixes a problem in dealing with \newcommand and \newenvironment. * Revised RTF writer: + Default font is now Helvetica. + An '\f0' is added to each '\pard', so that font resizing works correctly. * Improved handling of dashes in LaTeX writer: + Recognize a double hyphen as an Em-dash, even when it occurs next to punctuation (e.g. a quotation mark). + Collapse space around Em-dashes. + Process quotes before dashes. This way (foo -- 'bar') will turn into (foo---`bar') instead of (foo---'bar'). * Improved handling of smart quotes in HTML and LaTeX writers, to handle cases where latex commands or HTML entity references appear after quotes. * Changes in HTML writer: + Include title block in header even when title is null. + Made javascript obfuscation of emails even more obfuscatory, by combining it with entity obfuscation. * Changed default ASCIIMathML text color to black. * Test suite: + Added --strip-trailing-cr option to diff in runtests.pl, for compatibility with Windows. + Added regression tests with footnotes in quote blocks and lists. * Makefile changes: + osx-pkg target creates a Mac OS X package (directory). New osx directory contains files needed for construction of the package. + osx-dmg target creates a compressed disk image containing the package. + win-pkg target creates Windows binary package. + tarball target creates distribution source tarball. + website target generates pandoc's website automatically, including demos. New 'web' directory containts files needed for construction of the website (which will be created as the 'pandoc' subdirectory of 'web'). + Makefile checks to see if we're running Windows/Cygwin; if so, a '.exe' extension is added to each executable in EXECS. * Removed all wrappers except markdown2pdf and html2markdown. Added new wrapper hsmarkdown, to be used as a drop-in replacement for Markdown.pl. hsmarkdown calls pandoc with the '--strict' option and disables other options. * Added code to html2markdown that tries to determine the character encoding of an HTML file, by parsing the "Content-type" meta tag. + If the encoding can't be determined, then if the content is local, the local encoding is used; if it comes from a URL, UTF-8 is used by default. + If input is from STDIN, don't try to determine character encoding. + Encoding can be specified explicitly using '-e' option. * Improved warning messages in wrappers: + Print warning if iconv not available + More user-friendly error messages in markdown2pdf, when pdflatex fails. * Code cleanup: + Renamed 'Text/Pandoc/HtmlEntities' module to 'Text/Pandoc/Entities'. Also changed function names so as not to be HTML-specific. + Removed 'BlockQuoteContext' from ParserContext, as it isn't used anywhere. + Refactored LaTeX reader for clarity (added isArg function). + Converted some CR's to LF's in src/ui/default/print.css. + Added license text to top of source files. + Added module data for haddock to source files. + Reformatted code for consistency. * Rewrote documentation and man pages. Split README into INSTALL and README. * Split LICENSE into COPYING and COPYRIGHT. * Removed TODO, since we now maintain ToDo on the wiki. * Made COPYRIGHT in top level a symlink to debian/copyright, to avoid duplication. -- Recai Oktaş Tue, 12 Dec 2006 07:48:30 +0300 pandoc (0.2) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed unicode/utf-8 translation -- John MacFarlane Mon, 14 Aug 2006 00:00:00 -0400 pandoc (0.1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial creation of debian package -- John MacFarlane Mon, 14 Aug 2006 00:00:00 -0400
