2017-08-16Update to hslua-0.8.0Albert Krewinkel1-2/+12
hslua no longer provides lua stack instances for Int and Double, the necessary instances are added to the Custom writer and the lua filtering system.
2017-08-13Delete Text.Pandoc.Lua.SharedInstancesAlbert Krewinkel1-1/+0
Stack instances for common data types are now provides by hslua. The instance for Either was useful only for a very specific case; the function that was using the `ToLuaStack Either` instance was rewritten to work without it. Closes: #3805
2017-08-13Text.Pandoc.Lua: Optimize performance by using raw table accessAlbert Krewinkel1-6/+21
Raw table accessing functions never call back into haskell, which allows the compiler to use more aggressive optimizations. This improves lua filter performance considerably (⪆5% speedup).
2017-08-13Use hslua >= 0.7, update Lua codeAlbert Krewinkel1-203/+204

2017-04-30Lua module: simplify Attributes, rename to AttrAlbert Krewinkel1-1/+1
Attributes was written to behave much like a normal table, in order to simplify working with it. However, all Attr containing elements were changed to provide panflute-like accessors to Attr components, rendering the previous approach unnecessary.
2017-04-30Lua module: make Header argument order consistentAlbert Krewinkel1-1/+1
Attributes are always passed as the last element, making it possible to omit this argument. Argument order for `Header` was wrong and is fixed.
2017-04-26Lua filter: allow natural access to meta elementsAlbert Krewinkel1-1/+1
Meta elements that are treated as lua tables (i.e. MetaList, MetaInlines, MetaBlocks, and MetaMap), are no longer wrapped in an additional table but simply marked via a metatable. This allows treating those meta values just like normal tables, while still making empty elements of those values distinguishable.
2017-04-15Lua filter: use Attributes constructor for AttrsAlbert Krewinkel1-14/+26
Element attributes are pushed to the stack via the `Attributes` function. `Attributes` creates an Attr like triple, but the triple also allows table-like access to key-value pairs.
2017-04-14Lua filter: Re-order code of stack value instancesAlbert Krewinkel1-106/+122
2017-04-14Lua filter: use lua strings for nullary constructorsAlbert Krewinkel1-80/+19
Lua string are used to represent nullary data constructors. The previous table-based representation was based on the JSON serialization, but can be simplified. This also matches the way those arguments are passed to custom writers.
2017-04-14Avoid repeating StackValue instances definitionsAlbert Krewinkel1-125/+3
The lua filters and custom lua writer system defined very similar StackValue instances for strings and tuples. These instance definitions are extracted to a separate module to enable sharing.
2017-04-14Extract lua helper functions into Lua.Util moduleAlbert Krewinkel1-103/+56
2017-04-14Use lua bools and strings for MetaBool, MetaStringAlbert Krewinkel1-2/+2
Native lua booleans and strings are used to represent MetaBool and MetaString values. This is more natural than the previous table-based representation. The old lua representation can still be read back to haskell, ensuring compatibility with the `pandoc.MetaBool` and `pandoc.MetaString` lua constructors.
2017-04-14Drop dependency on hslua-aesonAlbert Krewinkel1-1/+0
Pushing values to the lua stack via custom functions is faster and more flexible.
2017-04-14Push blocks via lua constructors and constantsAlbert Krewinkel1-37/+102
All element creation tasks are handled by lua functions defined in the pandoc module.
2017-04-14Push inlines via lua constructors and constantsAlbert Krewinkel1-41/+29
All element creation tasks are handled in the lua module.
2017-04-13Use lua constructors to push meta valuesAlbert Krewinkel1-30/+148
2017-04-11Lua filter: use custom StackValue Inline instanceAlbert Krewinkel1-24/+151
Inline elements are no longer pushed and pulled via aeson's Value.
2017-04-07Lua filter: improve doc filter performanceAlbert Krewinkel1-36/+47
Pandoc elements are pushed and pulled from the lua stack via custom instances.
2017-04-06Lua filter: Improve block filter performanceAlbert Krewinkel1-7/+44
Reading of simple block values from the lua stack is handled manually, but most block constructors are still handled via instances of aeson's Value type.
2017-04-06Lua filter: Improve inline filter performanceAlbert Krewinkel1-7/+73
Getting inline instances from the lua stack is handled manually for some simple inline constructors, including the `Str` constructor. This avoids the indirect route through aeson's Value type and improves performance considerably (approx. 30% speedup for some filters).
2017-04-02Lua module: add readers submoduleAlbert Krewinkel1-0/+75
Plain text readers are exposed to lua scripts via the `pandoc.reader` submodule, which is further subdivided by format. Converting e.g. a markdown string into a pandoc document is possible from within lua: doc = pandoc.reader.markdown.read_doc("Hello, World!") A `read_block` convenience function is provided for all formats, although it will still parse the whole string but return only the first block as the result. Custom reader options are not supported yet, default options are used for all parsing operations.
