pandoc 0.44 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
pandoc (0.44) unstable; urgency=low [ John MacFarlane ] * Fixed bug in HTML writer: when --toc was used, anchors were put around headers, which is invalid XHTML (block content within inline element). Now the anchors are put inside the header tags. Resolves Issue #23. * Added xmlns attribute to html element in html writer tests. This attribute is added by more recent versions of the xhtml library (>= 3000), and is required for valid XHTML. [ Recai Oktaş ] * On configure, compile 'Setup.hs' to 'setup' and use 'setup' as the build command instead of 'runhaskell', which, on some platforms (such as s390, alpha, m68k), throws the following error: runhaskell Setup.hs configure --prefix=/usr ghc-6.6.1: not built for interactive use This causes a serious FTBFS bug. Closes: #440668. pandoc (0.43) unstable; urgency=low [ John MacFarlane ] * The focus of this release is performance. The markdown parser is about five times faster than in 0.42, based on benchmarks with the TextMate manual. * Main.hs: Replaced CRFilter and tabFilter with single function tabFilter, which operates on the whole string rather than breaking it into lines, and handles dos-style line-endings as well as tabs. * Added separate LaTeX reader and native reader tests; removed round-trip tests. * Text.Pandoc.Shared: + Removed tabsToSpaces and tabsInLine (they were used only in Main.hs.) + General code cleanup (to elimante warnings when compiling with -Wall.) + Added 'wrapped' function, which helps wrap text into paragraphs, using the prettyprinting library. + Rewrote charsInBalanced and charsInBalanced'. - Documented restriction: open and close must be distinct characters. - Rearranged options for greater efficiency. - Bug fix: Changed inner call to charsInBalanced inside charsInBalanced' to charsInBalanced'. + anyLine now requires that the line end with a newline (not eof). This is a harmless assumption, since we always add newlines to the end of a block before parsing with anyLine, and it yields a 10% speed boost. + Removed unnecessary 'try' in anyLine. + Removed unneeded 'try' from romanNumeral parser. + Use notFollowedBy instead of notFollowedBy' in charsInBalanced. + Removed unneeded 'try' in parseFromString. + Removed unneeded 'try' from stringAnyCase. (Now it behaves like 'string'.) + Changed definition of 'enclosed' in Text.Pandoc.Shared so that 'try' is not automatically applied to the 'end' parser. Added 'try' in calls to 'enclosed' where needed. Slight speed increase. * Writers: + Replaced individual wrapping routines in RST, Man, and Markdown writers with 'wrapped' from Text.Pandoc.Shared. + Rewrote LaTeX writer to use the prettyprinting library, so we get word wrapping, etc. + Modified latex writer tests for new latex writer using prettyprinter. + Fixed bug in LaTeX writer: autolinks would not cause '\usepackage{url}' to be put in the document header. Also, changes to state in enumerated list items would be overwritten. + In Markdown writer, escape paragraphs that begin with ordered list markers, so they don't get interpreted as ordered lists. * Text.Pandoc.Reades.LaTeX: + Fixed bug in LaTeX reader, which wrongly assumed that the roman numeral after "enum" in "setcounter" would consist entirely of "i"s. 'enumiv' is legitimate. + LaTeX command and environment names can't contain numbers. + Rearranged order of parsers in inline for slight speed improvement. + Added '`' to special characters and 'unescapedChar'. * Text.Pandoc.Readers.RST: + Removed unneeded try's in RST reader; also minor code cleanup. + Removed tabchar. + Rearranged parsers in inline (doubled speed). * Text.Pandoc.Readers.Markdown: + Skip notes parsing if running in strict mode. (This yields a nice speed improvement in strict mode.) + Simplify autolink parsing code, using Network.URI to test for URIs. Added dependency on network library to debian/control and pandoc.cabal. + More perspicuous definition of nonindentSpaces. + Removed unneeded 'try' in 'rawLine'. + Combined linebreak and whitespace into a new whitespace parser, to avoid unnecessary reparsing of space characters. + Removed unnecessary 'try' in 'codeBlock', 'ellipses', 'noteMarker', 'multilineRow', 'dashedLine', 'rawHtmlBlocks'. + Use lookAhead in parsers for setext headers and definition lists to see if the next line begins appropriately; if not, don't waste any more time parsing. + Don't require blank lines after code block. (It's sufficient to end code block with a nonindented line.) + Changed definition of 'emph': italics with '_' must not be followed by an alphanumeric character. This is to help prevent interpretation of e.g. [LC_TYPE]: my_type as '[LC<em>TYPE]:my</em>type'. + Improved Markdown.pl-compatibility in referenceLink: the two parts of a reference-style link may be separated by one space, but not more... [a] [link], [not] [a link]. + Fixed markdown inline code parsing so it better accords with Markdown.pl: the marker for the end of the code section is a clump of the same number of `'s with which the section began, followed by a non-` character. So, for example, ` h ``` i ` -> <code>h ``` i</code>. + Split 'title' into 'linkTitle' and 'referenceTitle', since the rules are slightly different. + Rewrote 'para' for greater efficiency. + Rewrote link parsers for greater efficiency. + Removed redundant 'referenceLink' in definition of inline (it's already in 'link'). + Refactored escapeChar so it doesn't need 'try'. + Refactored hrule for performance in Markdown reader. + More intelligent rearranging of 'inline' so that most frequently used parsers are tried first. + Removed tabchar parser, as whitespace handles tabs anyway. * Text.Pandoc.CharacterReferences: + Refactored. + Removed unnecessary 'try's for a speed improvement. + Removed unnecessary '&' and ';' from the entity table. * Build process: + Makefile: Get VERSION from cabal file, not Main.hs. + Modified MacPorts Portfile: - Depend on haddock - Build and install libraries and library documentation in addition to pandoc executable - Added template item for md5 sum in Portfile.in. - Incorporated changes from MacPorts repository (r28278). + FreeBSD port: Don't try to generate distinfo in Makefile. It can be made using 'make makesum' in FreeBSD. + Make both freebsd and macports targets depend on tarball. * Website and documentation: + Updated INSTALL instructions. + Added pandocwiki demo to website. + Removed local references to Portfile, since pandoc is now in the MacPorts repository. pandoc (0.42) unstable; urgency=low [ John MacFarlane ] * Main.hs: Use utf8 conversion on the extra files loaded with the -H, -C, -B, and -A options. This fixes problems with unicode characters in these files. * Exposed Text.Pandoc.ASCIIMathML, since it is imported in Text.Pandoc.Readers.HTML and without it we get a linking error when using the library. * Markdown reader: + Added new rule for enhanced markdown ordered lists: if the list marker is a capital letter followed by a period (including a single-letter capital roman numeral), then it must be followed by at least two spaces. The point of this is to avoid accidentally treating people's initials as list markers: a paragraph might begin, "B. Russell was an English philosopher," and this shouldn't be treated as a list. Documented change in README. + Blocks that start with "p. " and a digit are no longer treated as ordered lists (it's a page number). + Added a needed 'try' to listItem. + Removed check for a following setext header in endline. A full test is too inefficient (doubles benchmark time), and the substitute we had before is not 100% accurate. + Don't use Code elements for autolinks if --strict specified. * LaTeX writer: When a footnote ends with a Verbatim environment, the close } of the footnote cannot occur on the same line or an error occurs. Fixed this by adding a newline before the closing } of every footnote. * HTML writer: + Removed incorrect "{}" around style information in HTML tables. Column widths now work properly in HTML. + If --strict option is specified (and --toc is not), don't include identifiers in headers, for better Markdown compatibility. * Build process: + Separated $(web_dest) and website targets. + In website, index.txt is now constructed from template index.txt.in. + Added freebsd target to Markefile. This creates the freebsd Makefile from Makefile.in, and creates distinfo. Removed Makefile and distinfo from the repository. + Added macport target to Makefile. Portfile is built from template Portfile.in. + Removed OSX package targets. (Too many difficulties involving dependencies on dynamic libraries.) + More complete INSTALL instructions for all architectures. * Website: + Added a programming demo, pandocwiki. [ Recai Oktaş ] * Do not forget to close pandoc's ITP. Closes: #391666 pandoc (0.41) unstable; urgency=low [ John MacFarlane ] * Fixed bugs in HTML reader: + Skip material at end *only if* </html> is present (previously, only part of the document would be parsed if an error was found; now a proper error message is given). + Added new constant eitherBlockOrInline with elements that may count either as block-level or as inline. Modified isInline and isBlock to take this into account. + Modified rawHtmlBlock to accept any tag (even an inline tag): this is innocuous, because rawHtmlBlock is tried only if a regular inline element can't be parsed. + Added a necessary 'try' in definition of 'para'. * Fixed bug in markdown ordered list parsing. The problem was that anyOrderedListStart did not check for a space following the ordered list marker. So in 'A.B. 2007' the parser would be expecting a list item, but would not find one, causing an error. Fixed a similar bug in the RST reader. Resolves Issue #22. * Refactored RST and Markdown readers using parseFromString. * LaTeX reader will now skip anything after \end{document}. * Fixed blockquote output in markdown writer: previously, block quotes in indented contexts would be indented only in the first line. * Added note to INSTALL about variations in versions of the xhtml library that can lead to failed tests (thanks to Leif LeBaron). pandoc (0.4) unstable; urgency=low [ John MacFarlane ] * Added two new output formats: groff man pages and ConTeXt. By default, output files with extensions ".ctx" and ".context" are assumed to be ConTeXt, and output files with single-digit extensions are assumed to be man pages. * Enhanced ordered lists (documented in README, under Lists): + The OrderedList block element now stores information about list number style, list number delimiter, and starting number. + The readers parse this information when possible. + The writers use this information to style ordered lists. + The enhancement can be disabled using the --strict option. * Added support for tables (with a new Table block element). Two kinds of tables are supported: a simple table with one-line rows, and a more complex variety with multiline rows. All output formats are supported, but only markdown tables are parsed at the moment. The syntax is documented in README. * Added support for definition lists (with a new DefinitionList block element). All output and input formats are supported. The syntax is documented in README. * Added support for superscripts and subscripts (with new Superscript and Subscript inline elements). All input and output formats. The syntax is documented in README. * Added support for strikeout (with a new Strikeout inline element). All input and output formats are supported. Thanks to Bradley Kuhn, who contributed a patch. The syntax is documented in README. Resolves Issue #18. * Added a --toc|--table-of-contents option. This causes an automatically generated table of contents (or an instruction that creates one) to be inserted at the beginning of the document. Not supported in S5, DocBook, or man page writers. * Modified the -m|--asciimathml option: + If an optional URL argument is provided, a link is inserted instead of the contents of the ASCIIMathML.js script. + Nothing is inserted unless the document actually contains LaTeX math. * Removed Blank block element as unnecessary. * Removed Key and Note blocks from the Pandoc data structure. All links are now stored as explicit links, and note contents are stored with the (inline) notes. + All link Targets are now explicit (URL, title) pairs; there is no longer a 'Ref' target. + Markdown and RST parsers now need to extract data from key and note blocks and insert them into the relevant inline elements. Other parsers have been simplified, since there is no longer any need to construct separate key and note blocks. + Markdown, RST, and HTML writers need to construct lists of notes; Markdown and RST writers need to construct lists of link references (when the --reference-links option is specified); and the RST writer needs to construct a list of image substitution references. All writers have been rewritten to use the State monad when state is required. + Several functions (generateReference, keyTable, replaceReferenceLinks, replaceRefLinksBlockList, and some auxiliaries used by them) have been removed from Text.Pandoc.Shared, since they are no longer needed. New functions and data structures (Reference, isNoteBlock, isKeyBlock, isLineClump) have been added. The functions inTags, selfClosingTag, inTagsSimple, and inTagsIndented have been moved to the DocBook writer, since that is now the only module that uses them. NoteTable is now exported in Text.Pandoc.Shared. + Added stateKeys and stateNotes to ParserState; removed stateKeyBlocks, stateKeysUsed, stateNoteBlocks, stateNoteIdentifiers, stateInlineLinks. + Added writerNotes and writerReferenceLinks to WriterOptions. * Added Text.Pandoc module that exports basic readers, writers, definitions, and utility functions. This should export everything needed for most uses of Pandoc libraries. The haddock documentation includes a short example program. * Text.Pandoc.ASCIIMathML is no longer an exported module. * Added Text.Pandoc.Blocks module to help in printing markdown and RST tables. This module provides functions for working with fixed-width blocks of text--e.g., placing them side by side, as in a table row. * Refactored to avoid reliance on Haskell's Text.Regex library, which (a) is slow, and (b) does not properly handle unicode. This fixed some strange bugs, e.g. in parsing S-cedilla, and improved performance. + Replaced 'gsub' with a general list function 'substitute' that does not rely on Text.Regex. + Rewrote extractTagType in HTML reader so that it doesn't use regexs. + In Markdown reader, replaced email regex test with a custom email autolink parser (autoLinkEmail). Also replaced selfClosingTag regex with a custom function isSelfClosingTag. + Modified Docbook writer so that it doesn't rely on Text.Regex for detecting 'mailto' links. + Removed escapePreservingRegex and reamped entity-handling functions in Text.Pandoc.Shared and Text.Pandoc.CharacterReferences to avoid reliance on Text.Regex (see below on character reference handling changes). * Renamed Text.Pandoc.Entities as Text.Pandoc.CharacterReferences. * Changed handling of XML entities. Entities are now parsed (and unicode characters returned) in the Markdown and HTML readers, rather than being handled in the writers. In HTML and Docbook writers, UTF-8 is now used instead of entities for characters above 128. This makes the HTML and DocBook output much more readable and more easily editable. + Removed sgmlHexEntity, sgmlDecimalEntity, sgmlNamedEntity, and sgmlCharacterEntity regexes from Text.Pandoc.Shared. + Renamed escapeSGMLChar to escapeCharForXML. Added escapeStringForXML. Moved both functions to Text.Pandoc.Writers.Docbook. + Added characterReference parser to Text.Pandoc.CharacterReferences. This parses a string and return a unicode character. + Rewrote decodeCharacterReferences to use the new parser instead of Text.Regex. + Added new charRef parser for Markdown and HTML, which replaces the old 'entity' parser. Added '&' as a special character in Markdown reader. + Modified HTML and Markdown readers to call decodeEntities on all raw strings (e.g. authors, dates, link titles), to ensure that no unprocessed entities are included in the native representation of the document. (In the HTML reader, most of this work is done by a change in extractAttributeName.) + In XML and Markdown output, escape unicode nonbreaking space as ' ', since a unicode non-breaking space is impossible to distinguish visually from a regular space. (Resolves Issue #3.) + Removed encodeEntitiesNumerical. + Use Data.Map for entityTable and (new) reverseEntityTable, for a slight performance boost over the old association list. + Removed unneeded decodeEntities from 'str' parser in HTML and Markdown readers. * Text.Pandoc.UTF8: Renamed encodeUTF8 to toUTF8, decodeUTF8 to fromUTF8, for clarity. * Replaced old haskell98 module names replaced by hierarchical module names, e.g. List by Data.List. Removed haskell98 from dependencies in pandoc.cabal, and added mtl (needed for state monad). Substituted xhtml for html. * Refactored and cleaned up character escaping in writers, using backslashEscapes and escapeStringUsing functions. * Instead of adding "\n\n" to the end of an input string in Main.hs, this is now done in the readers. This makes the libraries behave the way you'd expect from the pandoc program. Resolves Issue #10. * URLs and email addresses in autolinks are now typeset as Code. * In Main.hs, changed putStr to putStrLn -- mainly because MacOS X doesn't display the whole output unless there's a line ending. * Major code cleanup in all modules, for greater consistency, concision, and readability. * HTML reader: + Fixed several bugs (extractTagType, attribute parsing). + Remove Null blocks in lists of blocks when possible. + Allow HTML comments as raw HTML inline. * Markdown reader: + Ordered list items may no longer begin with uppercase letters, or letters greater than 'n'. (This prevents first initials and page reference, e.g. 'p. 400', from being parsed as beginning lists.) Also, numbers beginning list items may no longer end with ')', which is now allowed only after letters. Note: These changes may cause documents to be parsed differently. Users should take care in upgrading. + Changed autoLink parsing to conform better to Markdown.pl's behavior. <google.com> is not treated as a link, but <http://google.com>, <ftp://google.com>, and <mailto:<email address hidden>> are. + Cleaned up handling of embedded quotes in link titles. Now these are stored as a '"' character, not as '"'. + Use lookAhead parser for the 'first pass' (looking for reference keys), instead of parsing normally, then using setInput to reset input. This yields a slight performance boost. + Fixed several bugs in smart quote recognition. + Fixed bug in indentSpaces (which didn't properly handle cases with mixed spaces and tabs). + Consolidated 'text', 'special', and 'inline' into 'inline'. + Fixed bug which allowed URL and title to be separated by multiple blank lines in links and reference keys. They can be on separate lines but can't have blank lines between them. + Correctly handle bracketed text inside inline footnotes and links,using new function inlinesInBalanced. Resolves Issue #14. + Fixed bug in footnotes: links in footnotes were not being processed. Solution: three-stage parse. First, get all the reference keys and add information to state. Next, get all the notes and add information to state. (Reference keys may be needed at this stage.) Finally, parse everything else. + Replaced named constants like 'emphStart' with literals. + Removed an extra occurance of escapedChar in definition of inline. * RST reader: + Allow the URI in a RST hyperlink target to start on the line after the reference key. + Added 'try' in front of 'string', where needed, or used a different parser. This fixes a bug where ````` would not be correctly parsed as a verbatim `. + Fixed slow performance in parsing inline literals in RST reader. The problem was that ``#`` was seen by 'inline' as a potential link or image. Fix: inserted 'notFollowedBy (char '`')' in link parsers. Resolves Issue #8. + Use lookAhead instead of getInput/setInput in RST reader. Removed unneeded getState call, since lookAhead automatically saves and restores the parser state. + Allow hyperlink target URIs to be split over multiple lines, and to start on the line after the reference. Resolves Issue #7. + Fixed handling of autolinks. * LaTeX reader: + Replaced 'choice [(try (string ...), ...]' idiom with 'oneOfStrings', for clarity. + Added clauses for tilde and caret. Tilde is \ensuremath{\sim}, and caret is \^{}, not \^ as before. + Added parsing for \url. + Parse \texttt{} as code, provided there's nothing fancy inside. * HTML writer: + Modified HTML writer to use the Text.XHtml library. This results in cleaner, faster code, and it makes it easier to use Pandoc in other projects, like wikis, which use Text.XHtml. Two functions are now provided, writeHtml and writeHtmlString: the former outputs an Html structure, the latter a rendered string. The S5 writer is also changed, in parallel ways (writeS5, writeS5String). + The Html header is now written programmatically, so it has been removed from the 'headers' directory. The S5 header is still needed, but the doctype and some of the meta declarations have been removed, since they are written programatically. This change introduces a new dependency on the xhtml package. + Fixed two bugs in email obfuscation involving improper escaping of '&' in the <noscript> section and in --strict mode. Resolves Issue #9. + Fixed another bug in email obfuscation: If the text to be obfuscated contains an entity, this needs to be decoded before obfuscation. Thanks to thsutton for the patch. Resolves Issue #15. + Changed the way the backlink is displayed in HTML footnotes. Instead of appearing on a line by itself, it now generally appears on the last line of the note. (Exception: when the note does not end with a Plain or Para block.) This saves space and looks better. + Added automatic unique identifiers to headers: - The identifier is derived from the header via a scheme documented in README. - WriterState now includes a list of header identifiers and a table of contents in addition to notes. - The function uniqueIdentifiers creates a list of unique identifiers from a list of inline lists (e.g. headers). - This list is part of WriterState and gets consumed by blockToHtml each time a header is encountered. + Include CSS for .strikethrough class in header only if strikethrough text appears in the document. + If the 'strict' option is specified, elements that do not appear in standard markdown (like definition lists) are passed through as raw HTML. + Simplified treatment of autolinks, using pattern matching instead of conditionals. * Markdown writer: + Links in markdown output are now printed as inline links by default, rather than reference links. A --reference-links option has been added that forces links to be printed as reference links. Resolves Issue #4. + Use autolinks when possible. Instead of [site.com](site.com), use <site.com>. * LaTeX writer: + Rewrote to use the State monad. The preamble now includes only those packages that are actually required, given the document's content. Thus, for example, if strikeout is not used, ulem is not required. Modified LaTeXHeader accordingly. + Modified LaTeX writer to insert '\,' between consecutive quotes. + Removed unused function tableRowColumnWidths. + Simplified code for escaping special characters. + Leave extra blank line after \maketitle. + Include empty '\author{}' when no author specified to avoid LaTeX errors. + Include fancyvrb code in header only if needed -- that is, only if there is actually code in a footnote. + Use \url{} for autolinks. + Include [mathletters] option in ucs package, so that basic unicode Greek letters will work correctly. * RST writer: Force blank line before lists, so that sublists will be handled correctly. * Docbook writer: Fixed a bug: email links with text, like [foo](<email address hidden>), were being incorrectly treated as autolinks. * Removed Text.ParserCombinators.Pandoc and moved all its functions to Text.Pandoc.Shared. * Text.Pandoc.Shared: + Added defaultWriterOptions. + Added writerTableOfContents to WriterOptions. + Added writerIgnoreNotes option to WriterOptions. This is needed for processing header blocks for a table of contents, since notes on headers should not appear in the TOC. + Added prettyprinting for native Table format. + Removed some unneeded imports. + Moved escape and nullBlock parsers from Text.ParserCombinators.Pandoc, since the latter is for general-purpose parsers that don't depend on Text.Pandoc.Definition. + Moved isHeaderBlock from Text.Pandoc.Writers.HTML. + Moved Element, headerAtLeast, and hierarchicalize from Docbook writer, because HTML writer now uses these in constructing a table of contents. + Added clauses for new inline elements (Strikeout, Superscript, Subscript) to refsMatch. + Removed backslashEscape; added new functions escapeStringUsing and backslashEscapes. + Moved failIfStrict from markdown reader, since it is now used also by the HTML reader. + Added a 'try' to the definition of indentSpaces. + In definition of 'reference', added check to make sure it's not a note reference. + Added functions: camelCaseToHyphenated, toRomanNumeral, anyOrderedListMarker, orderedListmarker, orderedListMarkers, charsInBalanced', withHorizDisplacement, romanNumeral + Fixed a bug in the anyLine parser. Previously it would parse an empty string "", but it should fail on an empty string, or we get an error when it is used inside "many" combinators. + Removed followedBy' parser, replacing it with the lookAhead parser from Parsec. + Added some needed 'try's before multicharacter parsers, especially in 'option' contexts. + Removed the 'try' from the 'end' parser in 'enclosed', so that 'enclosed' behaves like 'option', 'manyTill', etc. + Added lineClump parser, which parses a raw line block up to and including any following blank lines. + Renamed parseFromStr to parseFromString. + Added a 'try' to the 'end' parser in 'enclosed'. This makes errors in the use of 'enclosed' less likely. Removed some now-unnecessary 'try's in calling code. + Removed unneeded 'try' in blanklines. + Removed endsWith function and rewrote calling functions to use isSuffixOf instead. + Added >>~ combinator. + Fixed bug in normalizeSpaces: Space:Str "":Space should compress to Space. * Refactored runtests.pl; added separate tests for tables. * Shell scripts: + Added -asxhtml flag to tidy in html2markdown. This will perhaps help the parser, which expects closing tags. + Modified markdown2pdf to run pdflatex a second time if --toc or --table-of-contents was specified; otherwise the table of contents won't appear. + Modified markdown2pdf to print a helpful message if the 'ulem' LaTeX package is required and not found. * Changes to build process: + Dropped support for compilation with GHC 6.4. GHC 6.6 or higher is now required. + Removed cabalize and Pandoc.cabal.in. The repository now contains pandoc.cabal itself. + Pandoc.cabal has been changed to pandoc.cabal, because HackageDB likes the cabal file to have the same name as the tarball. + Expanded and revised the package description in pandoc.cabal. Revised the package synopsis. + The tarball built by 'make tarball' now contains files built from templates (including man pages and shell scripts), so pandoc can be built directly using Cabal tools, without preprocessing. + Executable binaries are now stripped before installing. + Man pages are now generated from markdown sources, using pandoc's man page writer. + Use HTML version of README (instead of RTF) in Mac OS X installer. + Instead of testing for the existence of a pandoc symlink in build-exec, use ln -f. * Documentation: + Updated README and man pages with information on new features. + Updated INSTALL instructions with some useful clarifications and links. + Updated web content. * Added FreeBSD port. [ Recai Oktaş ] * debian/control: + Changed pandoc's Build-Depends to include libghc6-mtl-dev and libghc6-xhtml-dev. Removed libghc6-html-dev. + Suggest texlive-latex-recommended | tetex-extra instead of tetex-bin. This brings in fancyvrb and unicode support. pandoc (0.3) unstable; urgency=low [ John MacFarlane ] * Changes in pandoc options: + Allow options to follow or precede arguments. + Changed '--smartypants' to '--smart' and adjusted symbols accordingly. + Added '--strict' option. + Added '-o/--output' option. + Added '--dump-args' and '--ignore-args' options (for use in wrappers). + Modified '-v' and '-h' output to go to STDERR, not STDOUT, and return error conditions. This is helpful for writing wrappers. + Added copyright message to '-v' output, modeled after FSF messages. + Reformatted usage message so that it doesn't wrap illegibly. + Removed extra blanks after '-h' and '-D' output. * Added docbook writer. * Added implicit setting of default input and output format based on input and output filename extensions. These defaults are overridden if explicit input and output formats are specified using '-t', '-f', '-r', or '-w' options. Documented in pandoc(1) man page and README. * Allow ordered list items to begin with (single) letters, as well as numbers. The list item marker may now be terminated either by '.' or by ')'. This extension to standard markdown is documented in README. * Revised footnote syntax. (See README for full details.) The '[^1]' format now standard in markdown extensions is supported, as are inline footnotes with this syntax: '^[My note.]'. The earlier footnote syntax '^(1)' is no longer supported. * Improved HTML representation of footnotes. All footnotes are now auto-numbered and appear in an ordered list at the end of the HTML document. Since the default appearance is now acceptable, the old footnote styles have been removed from the HTML header. * Bug fixes: + Fixed a serious bug in the markdown, LaTeX, and RST readers. These readers ran 'runParser' on processed chunks of text to handle embedded block lists in lists and quotation blocks. But then any changes made to the parser state in these chunks was lost, as the state is local to the parser. So, for example, footnotes didn't work in quotes or list items. The fix: instead of calling runParser on some raw text, use setInput to make it the input, then parse it, then use setInput to restore the input to what it was before. This is shorter and more elegant, and it fixes the problem. + Fixed bug in notFollowedBy' combinator (adding 'try' before 'parser'). Adjusted code that uses this combinator accordingly. + Fixed bug in RTF writer that caused improper indentation on footnotes occurring in indented blocks like lists. + Fixed parsing of metadata in LaTeX reader. Now the title, author, and date are parsed correctly. Everything else in the preamble is skipped. + Modified escapedChar in LaTeX reader to allow a '\' at the end of a line to count as escaped whitespace. + Modified LaTeX reader to produce inline links rather than reference links. Otherwise, links in footnotes aren't handled properly. + Fixed handling of titles in links in Markdown reader, so that embedded quotation marks are now handled properly. + Fixed Markdown reader's handling of embedded brackets in links. + Fixed Markdown reader so that it only parses bracketed material as a reference link if there is actually a corresponding key. + Revised inline code parsing in Markdown reader to conform to markdown standard. Now any number of `s can begin inline code, which will end with the same number of `s. For example, to have two backticks as code, write ``` `` ```. Modified Markdown writer accordingly. + Fixed bug in text-wrapping routine in Markdown and RST writers. Now LineBreaks no longer cause wrapping problems. + Supported hexadecimal numerical entity references as well as decimal ones. + Fixed bug in Markdown reader's handling of underscores and other inline formatting markers inside reference labels: for example, in '[A_B]: /url/a_b', the material between underscores was being parsed as emphasized inlines. + Changed Markdown reader's handling of backslash escapes so that only non-alphanumeric characters can be escaped. Strict mode follows Markdown.pl in only allowing a select group of punctuation characters to be escaped. + Modified HTML reader to skip a newline following a <br> tag. Otherwise the newline will be treated as a space at the beginning of the next line. * 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. * Modified readers to make spacing at the end of output more consistent. * Minor improvements to LaTeX reader: + '\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. * Revised RTF writer: + Default font is now Helvetica. + An '\f0' is added to each '\pard', so that font resizing works correctly. * Moved handling of "smart typography" from the writers to the Markdown and LaTeX readers. This allows great simplification of the writers and more accurate smart quotes, dashes, and ellipses. DocBook can now use '<quote>'. The '--smart' option now toggles an option in the parser state rather than a writer option. Several new kinds of inline elements have been added: Quoted, Ellipses, Apostrophe, EmDash, EnDash. * Changes in HTML writer: + Include title block in header even when title is null. + Made javascript obfuscation of emails even more obfuscatory, by combining it with entity obfuscation. * Changed default ASCIIMathML text color to black. * Test suite: + Added --strip-trailing-cr option to diff in runtests.pl, for compatibility with Windows. + Added regression tests with footnotes in quote blocks and lists. * Makefile changes: + osx-pkg target creates a Mac OS X package (directory). New osx directory contains files needed for construction of the package. + osx-dmg target creates a compressed disk image containing the package. + win-pkg target creates Windows binary package. + tarball target creates distribution source tarball. + website target generates pandoc's website automatically, including demos. New 'web' directory containts files needed for construction of the website (which will be created as the 'pandoc' subdirectory of 'web'). + Makefile checks to see if we're running Windows/Cygwin; if so, a '.exe' extension is added to each executable in EXECS. * Removed all wrappers except markdown2pdf and html2markdown. * Added new wrapper hsmarkdown, to be used as a drop-in replacement for Markdown.pl. hsmarkdown calls pandoc with the '--strict' option and disables other options. * 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. + If input is from STDIN, don't try to determine character encoding. + Encoding can be specified explicitly using '-e' option. * Improved warning messages in wrappers: + Print warning if iconv not available + More user-friendly error messages in markdown2pdf, when pdflatex fails. * Code cleanup: + Renamed 'Text/Pandoc/HtmlEntities' module to 'Text/Pandoc/Entities'. Also changed function names so as not to be HTML-specific. + Refactored SGML string escaping functions from HTML and Docbook writers into Text/Pandoc/Shared. (escapeSGML, stringToSGML) + Removed 'BlockQuoteContext' from ParserContext, as it isn't used anywhere. + Removed splitBySpace and replaced it with a general, polymorphic splitBy function. + Refactored LaTeX reader for clarity (added isArg function). + Converted some CR's to LF's in src/ui/default/print.css. + Added license text to top of source files. + Added module data for haddock to source files. + Reformatted code for consistency. * Rewrote documentation and man pages. Split README into INSTALL and README. * Split LICENSE into COPYING and COPYRIGHT. * Removed TODO, since we now maintain ToDo on the wiki. * Made COPYRIGHT in top level a symlink to debian/copyright, to avoid duplication. [ Recai Oktaş ] * Revamped build process to conform to debian standards and created a proper debian package. Closes: #391666. * Modified build process to support GHC 6.6. + The package can still be compiled using GHC 6.4.2, though because of dependencies the "make deb" target works only with GHC 6.6+. + The script 'cabalize' is used to create an appropriate 'Pandoc.cabal' from 'Pandoc.cabal.in', depending on the GHC and Cabal versions. * Refactored template processing (fillTemplates.pl). * 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. + Wrappers now accept multiple filenames, when appropriate. + Spaces and tabs allowed in filenames. + getopts shell builtin is used for portable option parsing. + Improved html2markdown's web grabber code, making it more robust, configurable and verbose. Added '-e', '-g' options. pandoc (0.2) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed unicode/utf-8 translation pandoc (0.1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial creation of debian package -- Ubuntu Archive Auto-Sync <email address hidden> Tue, 06 Nov 2007 23:08:54 +0000
