2021-10-27Switch back from HsYAML to yaml.John MacFarlane1-3/+1
Reasons: - Performance: HsYAML is around 20 times slower in parsing large YAML bibliographies (#6084). - An issue was submitted to HsYAML, but it hasn't gotten any attention. HsYAML seems borderline unmaintained; it hasn't had a commit in over a year. - Unfortunately this goes back on our attempts to free ourselves from C dependencies (#4535). But I don't see a better alternative until a better pure Haskell parser is available. Closes #6084. Notes: - We've removed the FromYAML instances for all types that had them, since this is a HsYAML-specific typeclass [API change]. (The yaml package just uses From/ToJSON.) - Unlike HsYAML (in the configuration we were using), yaml parses 'Y', 'N', 'Yes', 'No', 'On', 'Off' as boolean values. Users may need to quote these when they are meant to be interpreted as strings. Similarly, 'null' is parsed as a YAML null value (and will be treated as an empty string by pandoc rather than the string 'null'). Quoting it will force it to be interpreted as a string. - Some tests had to be adjusted accordingly. - Pandoc now behaves better when the YAML metadata contains escaping errors: instead of just falling back on treating the section as a table, it raises a YAML parsing error.
2021-09-29Further test updates for switch to pretty-show.John MacFarlane1-1/+2
2021-09-28Switch from pretty-simple to pretty-show for native output.John MacFarlane1-8/+10
Update tests. Reason: it turns out that the native output generated by pretty-simple isn't always readable by the native reader. According to https://github.com/cdepillabout/pretty-simple/issues/99 it is not a design goal of the library that the rendered values be readable using 'read'. This makes it unsuitable for our purposes. pretty-show is a bit slower and it uses 4-space indents (non-configurable), but it doesn't have this serious drawback.
2021-09-21Use pretty-simple to format native output.John MacFarlane1-10/+14
Previously we used our own homespun formatting. But this produces over-long lines that aren't ideal for diffs in tests. Easier to use something off-the-shelf and standard. Closes #7580. Performance is slower by about a factor of 10, but this isn't really a problem because native isn't suitable as a serialization format. (For serialization you should use json, because the reader is so much faster than native.)
2018-08-07Markdown reader: Properly handle boolean values in YAML metadata.John MacFarlane1-0/+50
This fixes a regression in 2.2.3, which cause boolean values to be parsed as MetaInlines instead of MetaBool. Note also an undocumented (but desirable) change in 2.2.3: numbers are now parsed as MetaInlines rather than MetaString. Closes #4819.
