Cabal versions.
* Refactored template processing (fillTemplates.pl).
-
- * Modified wrapper scripts to make them more robust.
- * Added '--output' option to markdown2pdf.
+ * 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.
+ + New command line convention allows options to be passed to
+ pandoc, as follows:
+ 1st form: input files specified
+ <wrapper> [wrapper_arg...] input_files... [pandoc_option...]
+ 2nd form: using STDIN, no input file is specified
+ <wrapper> [wrapper_arg...] -- [pandoc_option...]
+ 3rd form: input files specified, optional '--'
+ <wrapper> [wrapper_arg...] input_files... -- [pandoc_option...]
+ + All wrappers except 'html2markdown' and 'latex2markdown' now
+ accept multiple filenames.
+ + getopts shell builtin is used for portable option parsing.
+ + Spaces and tabs allowed in filenames.
+ + Improved html2markdown's web grabber code, making it more robust,
+ configurable and verbose. Added '-e', '-n', '-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'
+ + Added tests for wrappers' processing of command line arguments.
+
+ * Added '-o' option to markdown2pdf.

+ Process quotes before dashes. This way (foo -- 'bar') will turn into
(foo---`bar') instead of (foo---'bar').
+ * Minor improvements to LaTeX reader:
+ + Fixed parsing of metadata. Now the title, author, and date
+ are parsed correctly. Everything else in the preamble is skipped.
+ + Modified escapedChar to allow a \ at the end of a line to count
+ as escaped whitespace.
+ + '\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.
+
+ * Fixed bug in notFollowedBy' combinator (adding 'try' before 'parser').
+ Adjusted code that uses this combinator accordingly.
+
+ * 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.
+
+ * Changed HTML writer to include title block in header even
+ when title is null.
+
* Revised pandoc wrapper scripts to pipe output (as well as input)
through iconv.

+ New osx directory contains files needed for construction
of the package.
+ * 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.
+ + Encoding can be specified explicitly using '-e' option.
+
+ * Improved warning messages:
+ + Print warning if iconv not available
+ + More user-friendly error messages in markdown2pdf, when
+ pdflatex fails.
+
* Rewrote documentation and man pages. Split README into INSTALL
and README.
