The marshaling functions for pandoc's AST are extracted into a separate
package. The package comes with a number of changes:
- Pandoc's List module was rewritten in C, thereby improving error
messages.
- Lists of `Block` and `Inline` elements are marshaled using the new
list types `Blocks` and `Inlines`, respectively. These types
currently behave identical to the generic List type, but give better
error messages. This also opens up the possibility of adding
element-specific methods to these lists in the future.
- Elements of type `MetaValue` are no longer pushed as values which
have `.t` and `.tag` properties. This was already true for
`MetaString` and `MetaBool` values, which are still marshaled as Lua
strings and booleans, respectively. Affected values:
+ `MetaBlocks` values are marshaled as a `Blocks` list;
+ `MetaInlines` values are marshaled as a `Inlines` list;
+ `MetaList` values are marshaled as a generic pandoc `List`s.
+ `MetaMap` values are marshaled as plain tables and no longer
given any metatable.
- The test suite for marshaled objects and their constructors has
been extended and improved.
- A bug in Citation objects, where setting a citation's suffix
modified it's prefix, has been fixed.

The new HsLua version takes a somewhat different approach to marshalling
and unmarshalling, relying less on typeclasses and more on specialized
types. This allows for better performance and improved error messages.
Furthermore, new abstractions allow to document the code and exposed
functions.

A new type `SimpleTable` is made available to Lua filters. It is
similar to the `Table` type in pandoc versions before 2.10;
conversion functions from and to the new Table type are provided.
Old filters using tables now require minimal changes and can use,
e.g.,
if PANDOC_VERSION > {2,10,1} then
pandoc.Table = pandoc.SimpleTable
end
and
function Table (tbl)
tbl = pandoc.utils.to_simple_table(tbl)
…
return pandoc.utils.from_simple_table(tbl)
end
to work with the current pandoc version.
