A sample custom reader can be found in data/creole.lua. + Also see documentation in `doc/custom-readers.md`. + + * New module Text.Pandoc.Readers.Custom, exporting `readCustom` [API change]. + + * Allow `plain` to be used in raw attribute syntax. + + * Accept empty `--metadata-file` (#7675). + This was a regression from 2.15 behavior. + + * Markdown reader: Improve inlinesInBalancedBrackets. + This is just a small improvement in terms of performance, but it's simpler + and more direct code. Also, we avoid parsing interparagraph spaces in + balanced brackets, as the original did. + + * BibTeX reader: Properly handle commented lines in BibTeX/BibLaTeX (#7668). + + * RST reader: handle class attribute for for custom roles (#7699, + willj-dev). Previously the class attribute was ignored, and the name + of the role used as the class. + + * DocBook reader: + + + Add `` support (Rowan Rodrik van der Molen). + + Support for `` (#7607, Rowan Rodrik van der Molen). + + * LaTeX reader: + + + Add rudimentary support for `\autoref` (#7693). + + Add 'uri' class when parsing `\url`, for consistency + with treatment of autolinks in other formats (#7672). + + * JATS reader: Capture `alt-text` in figures (#7703, Albert Krewinkel + and Aner Lucero). + + * MediaWiki writer: use HTML spans for anchors when header has id (#7697). + We need to generate a span when the header's ID doesn't match + the one MediaWiki would generate automatically. Note that MediaWiki's + generation scheme is different from pandoc's (it uses uppercase letters, + and `_` instead of `-`, for example). This means that in going from + markdown -> mediawiki, we'll now get spans before almost every heading, + unless explicit identifiers are used that correspond to the ones MediaWiki + auto-generates. This is uglier output but it's necessary for internal + links to work properly. + + * Markdown writer: don't create autolinks when this loses information + (#7692). Previously we sometimes lost attributes when rendering links + as autolinks. + + * JATS writer: + + + Ensure figures are wrapped with `

` in list items + (Albert Krewinkel). This prevents the generation of invalid output. + + Add URL to element citation entries (Albert Krewinkel). + The URL of a reference, if present, is added in tag `` to + element-citation entries. + + * HTML writer: Don't create invalid `data-` attribute for empty + attribute key (#7546). + + * LaTeX writer: + + + Babel mappings: use `ancientgreek` for `grc`. + + With `-t latex-smart`, don't generate `\ldots` from ellipsis (#7674). + Instead just use unicode ellipsis. + + * JATS template: fix equal-contrib attribute (Albert Krewinkel). + The standard requires the value to be either `yes` or `no`, but is was + set to `true` for authors who contributed equally. + + * reveal.js template: Add `disableLayout` variable (Christophe Dervieux). + + * Text.Pandoc.Error: sort errors in `handleError` by exit code + (Albert Krewinkel). + + * Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared: Improve toLegacyTable (#7683, + Christian Despres). + + * Lua subsystem: + + + Include lpeg module (#7649, Albert Krewinkel). Compiles the `lpeg` + library (Parsing Expression Grammars For Lua) into + the program. Package maintainers may choose to rely on package + dependencies to make lpeg available, in which case they can compile + the with the constraint `lpeg +rely-on-shared-lpeg-library`. + `lpeg` and `re` are always made available in global variables, + without the need for a `require`. + + + Set `lpeg` and `re` as globals; allow shared lib access via require + The `lpeg` and `re` modules are loaded into globals of the respective + name, but they are not necessarily registered as loaded packages. This + ensures that + + - the built-in library versions are preferred when setting the globals, + - a shared library is used if pandoc has been compiled without `lpeg`, + and + - the `require` mechanism can be used to load the shared library if + available, falling back to the internal version if possible and + necessary. + + + Fix argument order in constructor `pandoc.Cite` (Albert Krewinkel). + This restores the old behavior; argument order had been switched + accidentally in pandoc 2.15. + + + Add Pushable instance for `ReaderOptions` (Albert Krewinkel). + + + Allow to pass custom reader options to `pandoc.read` as an + optional third argument (#7656, Albert Krewinkel). + The object can either be a table or a ReaderOptions value + like `PANDOC_READER_OPTIONS`. Creating new ReaderOptions objects is + possible through the new constructor `pandoc.ReaderOptions`. + + + Display Pandoc values using their native Haskell representation + (Albert Krewinkel). + + + Require latest hslua (2.0.1) (#7661, #7657, Albert Krewinkel). + This fixes issues with + + - misleading error messages when a required function parameter is + omitted; + - absent properties still being listed in the output of `pairs`; and + - alias accessing leading to errors instead of returning `nil`, e.g. + with `(pandoc.Str '').identifier`. + + + Add missing space in "package not found" message (#7658, Albert + Krewinkel). + + * Update build files (#7696, Fabián Heredia Montiel). + Drop old windows 32-bit constraints. + Update cabal `tested-with` field to correspond to `ci.yml` matrix + + * Remove unneeded package dependencies from benchmark target. + + * Require ghc >= 8.6, base >= 4.12. + This allows us to get rid of the old custom prelude and + some crufty cpp. But the primary reason for this is that + conduit has bumped its base lower bound to 4.12, making it + impossible for us to support lower base versions. + + * Require Cabal 2.4. Use wildcards to ensure that all pptx tests are + included (#7677). + + * Update bash_completion.tpl (S.P.H.). + + * Add `data/creole.lua` as sample custom reader. + + * Add doc/custom-readers.md. + + * doc/lua-filters.md: add section on global modules, including lpeg + (Albert Krewinkel). + + * MANUAL.txt: update table of exit codes and corresponding errors + (Albert Krewinkel). + + * Use released texmath. + ## pandoc 2.16.1 (2021-11-02) -- cgit v1.2.3
