pandoc (0.43) unstable; urgency=low [ John MacFarlane ] * The focus of this release is performance. The markdown parser is about five times faster than in 0.42, based on benchmarks with the TextMate manual. * Main.hs: Replaced CRFilter and tabFilter with single function tabFilter, which operates on the whole string rather than breaking it into lines, and handles dos-style line-endings as well as tabs. * Added separate LaTeX reader and native reader tests; removed round-trip tests. * Text.Pandoc.Shared: + Removed tabsToSpaces and tabsInLine (they were used only in Main.hs.) + General code cleanup (to elimante warnings when compiling with -Wall.) + Added 'wrapped' function, which helps wrap text into paragraphs, using the prettyprinting library. + Rewrote charsInBalanced and charsInBalanced'. - Documented restriction: open and close must be distinct characters. - Rearranged options for greater efficiency. - Bug fix: Changed inner call to charsInBalanced inside charsInBalanced' to charsInBalanced'. + anyLine now requires that the line end with a newline (not eof). This is a harmless assumption, since we always add newlines to the end of a block before parsing with anyLine, and it yields a 10% speed boost. + Removed unnecessary 'try' in anyLine. + Removed unneeded 'try' from romanNumeral parser. + Use notFollowedBy instead of notFollowedBy' in charsInBalanced. + Removed unneeded 'try' in parseFromString. + Removed unneeded 'try' from stringAnyCase. (Now it behaves like 'string'.) + Changed definition of 'enclosed' in Text.Pandoc.Shared so that 'try' is not automatically applied to the 'end' parser. Added 'try' in calls to 'enclosed' where needed. Slight speed increase. * Writers: + Replaced individual wrapping routines in RST, Man, and Markdown writers with 'wrapped' from Text.Pandoc.Shared. + Rewrote LaTeX writer to use the prettyprinting library, so we get word wrapping, etc. + Modified latex writer tests for new latex writer using prettyprinter. + Fixed bug in LaTeX writer: autolinks would not cause '\usepackage{url}' to be put in the document header. Also, changes to state in enumerated list items would be overwritten. + In Markdown writer, escape paragraphs that begin with ordered list markers, so they don't get interpreted as ordered lists. * Text.Pandoc.Reades.LaTeX: + Fixed bug in LaTeX reader, which wrongly assumed that the roman numeral after "enum" in "setcounter" would consist entirely of "i"s. 'enumiv' is legitimate. + LaTeX command and environment names can't contain numbers. + Rearranged order of parsers in inline for slight speed improvement. + Added '`' to special characters and 'unescapedChar'. * Text.Pandoc.Readers.RST: + Removed unneeded try's in RST reader; also minor code cleanup. + Removed tabchar. + Rearranged parsers in inline (doubled speed). * Text.Pandoc.Readers.Markdown: + Skip notes parsing if running in strict mode. (This yields a nice speed improvement in strict mode.) + Simplify autolink parsing code, using Network.URI to test for URIs. Added dependency on network library to debian/control and pandoc.cabal. + More perspicuous definition of nonindentSpaces. + Removed unneeded 'try' in 'rawLine'. + Combined linebreak and whitespace into a new whitespace parser, to avoid unnecessary reparsing of space characters. + Removed unnecessary 'try' in 'codeBlock', 'ellipses', 'noteMarker', 'multilineRow', 'dashedLine', 'rawHtmlBlocks'. + Use lookAhead in parsers for setext headers and definition lists to see if the next line begins appropriately; if not, don't waste any more time parsing. + Don't require blank lines after code block. (It's sufficient to end code block with a nonindented line.) + Changed definition of 'emph': italics with '_' must not be followed by an alphanumeric character. This is to help prevent interpretation of e.g. [LC_TYPE]: my_type as '[LCTYPE]:mytype'. + Improved Markdown.pl-compatibility in referenceLink: the two parts of a reference-style link may be separated by one space, but not more... [a] [link], [not] [a link]. + Fixed markdown inline code parsing so it better accords with Markdown.pl: the marker for the end of the code section is a clump of the same number of `'s with which the section began, followed by a non-` character. So, for example, ` h ``` i ` -> h ``` i. + Split 'title' into 'linkTitle' and 'referenceTitle', since the rules are slightly different. + Rewrote 'para' for greater efficiency. + Rewrote link parsers for greater efficiency. + Removed redundant 'referenceLink' in definition of inline (it's already in 'link'). + Refactored escapeChar so it doesn't need 'try'. + Refactored hrule for performance in Markdown reader. + More intelligent rearranging of 'inline' so that most frequently used parsers are tried first. + Removed tabchar parser, as whitespace handles tabs anyway. * Text.Pandoc.CharacterReferences: + Refactored. + Removed unnecessary 'try's for a speed improvement. + Removed unnecessary '&' and ';' from the entity table. * Build process: + Makefile: Get VERSION from cabal file, not Main.hs. + Modified MacPorts Portfile: - Depend on haddock - Build and install libraries and library documentation in addition to pandoc executable - Added template item for md5 sum in Portfile.in. - Incorporated changes from MacPorts repository (r28278). + FreeBSD port: Don't try to generate distinfo in Makefile. It can be made using 'make makesum' in FreeBSD. + Make both freebsd and macports targets depend on tarball. * Website and documentation: + Updated INSTALL instructions. + Added pandocwiki demo to website. + Removed local references to Portfile, since pandoc is now in the MacPorts repository. -- Recai Oktaş Sun, 02 Sep 2007 15:50:11 +0300 pandoc (0.42) unstable; urgency=low [ John MacFarlane ] * Main.hs: Use utf8 conversion on the extra files loaded with the -H, -C, -B, and -A options. This fixes problems with unicode characters in these files. * Exposed Text.Pandoc.ASCIIMathML, since it is imported in Text.Pandoc.Readers.HTML and without it we get a linking error when using the library. * Markdown reader: + Added new rule for enhanced markdown ordered lists: if the list marker is a capital letter followed by a period (including a single-letter capital roman numeral), then it must be followed by at least two spaces. The point of this is to avoid accidentally treating people's initials as list markers: a paragraph might begin, "B. Russell was an English philosopher," and this shouldn't be treated as a list. Documented change in README. + Blocks that start with "p. " and a digit are no longer treated as ordered lists (it's a page number). + Added a needed 'try' to listItem. + Removed check for a following setext header in endline. A full test is too inefficient (doubles benchmark time), and the substitute we had before is not 100% accurate. + Don't use Code elements for autolinks if --strict specified. * LaTeX writer: When a footnote ends with a Verbatim environment, the close } of the footnote cannot occur on the same line or an error occurs. Fixed this by adding a newline before the closing } of every footnote. * HTML writer: + Removed incorrect "{}" around style information in HTML tables. Column widths now work properly in HTML. + If --strict option is specified (and --toc is not), don't include identifiers in headers, for better Markdown compatibility. * Build process: + Separated $(web_dest) and website targets. + In website, index.txt is now constructed from template index.txt.in. + Added freebsd target to Markefile. This creates the freebsd Makefile from Makefile.in, and creates distinfo. Removed Makefile and distinfo from the repository. + Added macport target to Makefile. Portfile is built from template Portfile.in. + Removed OSX package targets. (Too many difficulties involving dependencies on dynamic libraries.) + More complete INSTALL instructions for all architectures. * Website: + Added a programming demo, pandocwiki. [ Recai Oktaş ] * Do not forget to close pandoc's ITP. Closes: #391666 -- Recai Oktaş Sun, 26 Aug 2007 22:51:32 +0300 pandoc (0.41) unstable; urgency=low [ John MacFarlane ] * Fixed bugs in HTML reader: + Skip material at end *only if* is present (previously, only part of the document would be parsed if an error was found; now a proper error message is given). + Added new constant eitherBlockOrInline with elements that may count either as block-level or as inline. Modified isInline and isBlock to take this into account. + Modified rawHtmlBlock to accept any tag (even an inline tag): this is innocuous, because rawHtmlBlock is tried only if a regular inline element can't be parsed. + Added a necessary 'try' in definition of 'para'. * Fixed bug in markdown ordered list parsing. The problem was that anyOrderedListStart did not check for a space following the ordered list marker. So in 'A.B. 2007' the parser would be expecting a list item, but would not find one, causing an error. Fixed a similar bug in the RST reader. Resolves Issue #22. * Refactored RST and Markdown readers using parseFromString. * LaTeX reader will now skip anything after \end{document}. * Fixed blockquote output in markdown writer: previously, block quotes in indented contexts would be indented only in the first line. * Added note to INSTALL about variations in versions of the xhtml library that can lead to failed tests (thanks to Leif LeBaron). -- Recai Oktaş Sun, 19 Aug 2007 23:26:07 +0300 pandoc (0.4) unstable; urgency=low [ John MacFarlane ] * Added two new output formats: groff man pages and ConTeXt. By default, output files with extensions ".ctx" and ".context" are assumed to be ConTeXt, and output files with single-digit extensions are assumed to be man pages. * Enhanced ordered lists (documented in README, under Lists): + The OrderedList block element now stores information about list number style, list number delimiter, and starting number. + The readers parse this information when possible. + The writers use this information to style ordered lists. + The enhancement can be disabled using the --strict option. * Added support for tables (with a new Table block element). Two kinds of tables are supported: a simple table with one-line rows, and a more complex variety with multiline rows. All output formats are supported, but only markdown tables are parsed at the moment. The syntax is documented in README. * Added support for definition lists (with a new DefinitionList block element). All output and input formats are supported. The syntax is documented in README. * Added support for superscripts and subscripts (with new Superscript and Subscript inline elements). All input and output formats. The syntax is documented in README. * Added support for strikeout (with a new Strikeout inline element). All input and output formats are supported. Thanks to Bradley Kuhn, who contributed a patch. The syntax is documented in README. Resolves Issue #18. * Added a --toc|--table-of-contents option. This causes an automatically generated table of contents (or an instruction that creates one) to be inserted at the beginning of the document. Not supported in S5, DocBook, or man page writers. * Modified the -m|--asciimathml option: + If an optional URL argument is provided, a link is inserted instead of the contents of the ASCIIMathML.js script. + Nothing is inserted unless the document actually contains LaTeX math. * Removed Blank block element as unnecessary. * Removed Key and Note blocks from the Pandoc data structure. All links are now stored as explicit links, and note contents are stored with the (inline) notes. + All link Targets are now explicit (URL, title) pairs; there is no longer a 'Ref' target. + Markdown and RST parsers now need to extract data from key and note blocks and insert them into the relevant inline elements. Other parsers have been simplified, since there is no longer any need to construct separate key and note blocks. + Markdown, RST, and HTML writers need to construct lists of notes; Markdown and RST writers need to construct lists of link references (when the --reference-links option is specified); and the RST writer needs to construct a list of image substitution references. All writers have been rewritten to use the State monad when state is required. + Several functions (generateReference, keyTable, replaceReferenceLinks, replaceRefLinksBlockList, and some auxiliaries used by them) have been removed from Text.Pandoc.Shared, since they are no longer needed. New functions and data structures (Reference, isNoteBlock, isKeyBlock, isLineClump) have been added. The functions inTags, selfClosingTag, inTagsSimple, and inTagsIndented have been moved to the DocBook writer, since that is now the only module that uses them. NoteTable is now exported in Text.Pandoc.Shared. + Added stateKeys and stateNotes to ParserState; removed stateKeyBlocks, stateKeysUsed, stateNoteBlocks, stateNoteIdentifiers, stateInlineLinks. + Added writerNotes and writerReferenceLinks to WriterOptions. * Added Text.Pandoc module that exports basic readers, writers, definitions, and utility functions. This should export everything needed for most uses of Pandoc libraries. The haddock documentation includes a short example program. * Text.Pandoc.ASCIIMathML is no longer an exported module. * Added Text.Pandoc.Blocks module to help in printing markdown and RST tables. This module provides functions for working with fixed-width blocks of text--e.g., placing them side by side, as in a table row. * Refactored to avoid reliance on Haskell's Text.Regex library, which (a) is slow, and (b) does not properly handle unicode. This fixed some strange bugs, e.g. in parsing S-cedilla, and improved performance. + Replaced 'gsub' with a general list function 'substitute' that does not rely on Text.Regex. + Rewrote extractTagType in HTML reader so that it doesn't use regexs. + In Markdown reader, replaced email regex test with a custom email autolink parser (autoLinkEmail). Also replaced selfClosingTag regex with a custom function isSelfClosingTag. + Modified Docbook writer so that it doesn't rely on Text.Regex for detecting 'mailto' links. + Removed escapePreservingRegex and reamped entity-handling functions in Text.Pandoc.Shared and Text.Pandoc.CharacterReferences to avoid reliance on Text.Regex (see below on character reference handling changes). * Renamed Text.Pandoc.Entities as Text.Pandoc.CharacterReferences. * Changed handling of XML entities. Entities are now parsed (and unicode characters returned) in the Markdown and HTML readers, rather than being handled in the writers. In HTML and Docbook writers, UTF-8 is now used instead of entities for characters above 128. This makes the HTML and DocBook output much more readable and more easily editable. + Removed sgmlHexEntity, sgmlDecimalEntity, sgmlNamedEntity, and sgmlCharacterEntity regexes from Text.Pandoc.Shared. + Renamed escapeSGMLChar to escapeCharForXML. Added escapeStringForXML. Moved both functions to Text.Pandoc.Writers.Docbook. + Added characterReference parser to Text.Pandoc.CharacterReferences. This parses a string and return a unicode character. + Rewrote decodeCharacterReferences to use the new parser instead of Text.Regex. + Added new charRef parser for Markdown and HTML, which replaces the old 'entity' parser. Added '&' as a special character in Markdown reader. + Modified HTML and Markdown readers to call decodeEntities on all raw strings (e.g. authors, dates, link titles), to ensure that no unprocessed entities are included in the native representation of the document. (In the HTML reader, most of this work is done by a change in extractAttributeName.) + In XML and Markdown output, escape unicode nonbreaking space as ' ', since a unicode non-breaking space is impossible to distinguish visually from a regular space. (Resolves Issue #3.) + Removed encodeEntitiesNumerical. + Use Data.Map for entityTable and (new) reverseEntityTable, for a slight performance boost over the old association list. + Removed unneeded decodeEntities from 'str' parser in HTML and Markdown readers. * Text.Pandoc.UTF8: Renamed encodeUTF8 to toUTF8, decodeUTF8 to fromUTF8, for clarity. * Replaced old haskell98 module names replaced by hierarchical module names, e.g. List by Data.List. Removed haskell98 from dependencies in pandoc.cabal, and added mtl (needed for state monad). Substituted xhtml for html. * Refactored and cleaned up character escaping in writers, using backslashEscapes and escapeStringUsing functions. * Instead of adding "\n\n" to the end of an input string in Main.hs, this is now done in the readers. This makes the libraries behave the way you'd expect from the pandoc program. Resolves Issue #10. * URLs and email addresses in autolinks are now typeset as Code. * In Main.hs, changed putStr to putStrLn -- mainly because MacOS X doesn't display the whole output unless there's a line ending. * Major code cleanup in all modules, for greater consistency, concision, and readability. * HTML reader: + Fixed several bugs (extractTagType, attribute parsing). + Remove Null blocks in lists of blocks when possible. + Allow HTML comments as raw HTML inline. * Markdown reader: + Ordered list items may no longer begin with uppercase letters, or letters greater than 'n'. (This prevents first initials and page reference, e.g. 'p. 400', from being parsed as beginning lists.) Also, numbers beginning list items may no longer end with ')', which is now allowed only after letters. Note: These changes may cause documents to be parsed differently. Users should take care in upgrading. + Changed autoLink parsing to conform better to Markdown.pl's behavior. is not treated as a link, but , , and are. + Cleaned up handling of embedded quotes in link titles. Now these are stored as a '"' character, not as '"'. + Use lookAhead parser for the 'first pass' (looking for reference keys), instead of parsing normally, then using setInput to reset input. This yields a slight performance boost. + Fixed several bugs in smart quote recognition. + Fixed bug in indentSpaces (which didn't properly handle cases with mixed spaces and tabs). + Consolidated 'text', 'special', and 'inline' into 'inline'. + Fixed bug which allowed URL and title to be separated by multiple blank lines in links and reference keys. They can be on separate lines but can't have blank lines between them. + Correctly handle bracketed text inside inline footnotes and links,using new function inlinesInBalanced. Resolves Issue #14. + Fixed bug in footnotes: links in footnotes were not being processed. Solution: three-stage parse. First, get all the reference keys and add information to state. Next, get all the notes and add information to state. (Reference keys may be needed at this stage.) Finally, parse everything else. + Replaced named constants like 'emphStart' with literals. + Removed an extra occurance of escapedChar in definition of inline. * RST reader: + Allow the URI in a RST hyperlink target to start on the line after the reference key. + Added 'try' in front of 'string', where needed, or used a different parser. This fixes a bug where ````` would not be correctly parsed as a verbatim `. + Fixed slow performance in parsing inline literals in RST reader. The problem was that ``#`` was seen by 'inline' as a potential link or image. Fix: inserted 'notFollowedBy (char '`')' in link parsers. Resolves Issue #8. + Use lookAhead instead of getInput/setInput in RST reader. Removed unneeded getState call, since lookAhead automatically saves and restores the parser state. + Allow hyperlink target URIs to be split over multiple lines, and to start on the line after the reference. Resolves Issue #7. + Fixed handling of autolinks. * LaTeX reader: + Replaced 'choice [(try (string ...), ...]' idiom with 'oneOfStrings', for clarity. + Added clauses for tilde and caret. Tilde is \ensuremath{\sim}, and caret is \^{}, not \^ as before. + Added parsing for \url. + Parse \texttt{} as code, provided there's nothing fancy inside. * HTML writer: + Modified HTML writer to use the Text.XHtml library. This results in cleaner, faster code, and it makes it easier to use Pandoc in other projects, like wikis, which use Text.XHtml. Two functions are now provided, writeHtml and writeHtmlString: the former outputs an Html structure, the latter a rendered string. The S5 writer is also changed, in parallel ways (writeS5, writeS5String). + The Html header is now written programmatically, so it has been removed from the 'headers' directory. The S5 header is still needed, but the doctype and some of the meta declarations have been removed, since they are written programatically. This change introduces a new dependency on the xhtml package. + Fixed two bugs in email obfuscation involving improper escaping of '&' in the
