1−I'm pleased to announce the release of pandoc 1.6.
2−
3−As usual, a source tarball and Windows installer are available
4−at <http://code.google.com/p/pandoc/downloads/list>. You can
5−also use 'cabal install' to get the latest version from HackageDB:
6−
7− cabal update
8− cabal install pandoc
9−
10−Thanks to everyone who contributed, either by filing bug reports or by
11−contributing patches. Here is a summary of the major changes in this
12−version:
13−
14−+ New EPUB and HTML Slidy writers. (Issue #122)
15−
16− - [EPUB] is a standard ebook format, used in Apple's iBooks for
17− the iPad and iPhone, Barnes and Noble's nook reader, the Sony
18− reader, and many other devices, and by online ebook readers like
19− [bookworm]. (Amazon's Kindle uses a different format, MobiPocket,
20− but EPUB books can easily be converted to Kindle format.) Now you
21− can write your book in markdown and produce an ebook with a single
22− command! I've put up a short [tutorial here].
23− - [Slidy], like S5, is a system for producing HTML+javascript slide shows.
24−
25−+ All input is assumed to be UTF-8, no matter what the locale and ghc
26− version, and all output is UTF-8. This reverts to pre-1.5 behavior.
27− Also, a BOM, if present, is stripped from the input.
28−
29−+ Markdown now supports grid tables, whose cells can contain
30− arbitrary block elements. (Issue #43)
31−
32−+ Sequentially numbered example lists in markdown with `@` marker.
33−
34−+ Markdown table captions can begin with a bare colon and no longer need
35− to include the English word "table." Also, a caption can now occur
36− either before or after the table. (Issue #227)
37−
38−+ New command-line options:
39−
40− - `--epub-stylesheet` allows you to specify a CSS file that will
41− be used to style your ebook.
42− - `--epub-metadata` allows you to specify metadata for the ebook.
43− - `--offline` causes the generated HTML slideshow to include all
44− needed scripts and stylesheets.
45− - `--webtex` causes TeX math to be converted to images using the
46− Google Charts API (unless a different URL is specified).
47− - `--section-divs` causes div tags to be added around each section
48− in an HTML document. (Issue #230, 239)
49−
50−+ Default behavior of S5 writer in standalone mode has changed:
51− previously, it would include all needed scripts and stylesheets
52− in the generated HTML; now, only links are included unless
53− the `--offline` option is used.
54−
55−+ Default behavior of HTML writer has changed. Between 1.2 and 1.5,
56− pandoc would enclose sections in div tags with identifiers on the
57− div tags, so that the sections can be manipulated in javascript.
58− This caused undesirable interactions with raw HTML div tags. So,
59− starting with 1.6, the default is to put the identifiers directly
60− on the header tags, and not to include the divs. The `--section-divs`
61− option selects the 1.2-1.5 behavior.
62−
63−+ API changes:
64−
65− - `HTMLMathMethod`: Added `WebTeX`, removed `MimeTeX`.
66− - `WriterOptions`: Added `writerUserDataDir`, `writerSourceDirectory`,
67− `writerEPUBMetadata` fields. Removed `writerIncludeBefore`,
68− `writerIncludeAfter`.
69− - Added `headerShift` to `Text.Pandoc.Shared`.
70− - Moved parsing code and `ParserState` from `Text.Pandoc.Shared`
71− to a new module, `Text.Pandoc.Parsing`.
72− - Added `stateHasChapters` to `ParserState`.
73− - Added `HTMLSlideVariant`.
74− - Made `KeyTable` a map instead of an association list.
75− - Added accessors for `Meta` fields (`docTitle`, `docAuthors`, `docDate`).
76− - `Pandoc`, `Meta`, `Inline`, and `Block` have been given `Ord` instances.
77− - Reference keys now have a type of their own (`Key`), with its
78− own `Ord` instance for case-insensitive comparison.
79− - Added `Text.Pandoc.Writers.EPUB`.
80− - Added `Text.Pandoc.UUID`.
81− - Removed `Text.Pandoc.ODT`, added `Text.Pandoc.Writers.ODT`.
82− Removed `saveOpenDocumentAsODT`, added `writeODT`.
83− - Added `Text.Pandoc.Writers.Native` and `writeNative`.
84− Removed `prettyPandoc`.
85− - Added `Text.Pandoc.UTF8` for portable UTF8 string IO.
86− - Removed `Text.Pandoc.Writers.S5` and the `writeS5` function.
87− Moved `s5Includes` to a new module, `Text.Pandoc.S5`.
88− To write S5, you now use `writeHtml` with `writerSlideVariant`
89− set to `S5Slides` or `SlidySlides`.
90−
91−+ Template changes. If you use custom templates, please update them,
92− particularly if you use syntax highlighting with pandoc. The old HTML
93− templates hardcoded highlighting CSS that will no longer work with
94− the most recent version of highlighting-kate.
95−
96− - HTML template: avoid empty meta tag if no date.
97− - HTML template: Use default highlighting CSS from highlighting-kate
98− instead of hard-coding the CSS into the template.
99− - HTML template: insert-before text goes before the title, and
100− immediately after the <body> tag, as documented. (Issue #241)
101− - Added slidy and s5 templates.
102− - Added amssymb to preamble of latex template. (github Issue 1)
103−
104−+ Removed excess newlines at the end of output. Note: because output
105− will not contain an extra newline, you may need to make adjustments
106− if you are inserting pandoc's output into a template.
107−
108−+ In S5 and slidy, horizontal rules now cause a new slide, so you
109− are no longer limited to one slide per section.
110−
111−+ Improved handling of code in man writer. Inline code is now monospace,
112− not bold, and code blocks now use .nf (no fill) and .IP (indented para).
113−
114−+ HTML reader parses `<tt>` as Code. (Issue #247)
115−
116−+ html+lhs output now contains bird tracks, even when compiled without
117− highlighting support. (Issue #242)
118−
119−+ Colons are now no longer allowed in autogenerated XML/HTML identifiers,
120− since they have a special meaning in XML.
121−
122−+ Code improvements in ODT writer. Remote images are now replaced with
123− their alt text rather than a broken link.
124−
125−+ LaTeX reader improvements:
126−
127− - Made latex `\section`, `\chapter` parsers more forgiving of whitespace.
128− - Parse `\chapter{}` in latex.
129− - Changed `rawLaTeXInline` to accept `\section`, `\begin`, etc.
130− - Use new `rawLaTeXInline'` in LaTeX reader, and export `rawLaTeXInline`
131− for use in markdown reader.
132− - Fixes bug wherein `\section{foo}` was not recognized as raw TeX
133− in markdown document.
134−
135−+ LaTeX writer: images are automatically shrunk if they would extend
136− beyond the page margin.
137−
138−+ Plain, markdown, RST writers now use unicode for smart punctuation.
139−
140−+ Man writer converts math to unicode when possible, as in other writers.
141−
142−+ `markdown2pdf` can now recognize citeproc options.
143−
144−+ Command-line arguments are converted to UTF-8. (Issue #234)
145−
146−+ `Text.Pandoc.TeXMath` has been rewritten to use texmath's parser.
147− This allows it to handle a wider range of formulas. Also, if a formula
148− cannot be converted, it is left in raw TeX; formulas are no longer
149− partially converted.
150−
151−+ Unicode curly quotes are left alone when parsing smart quotes. (Issue #143)
152−
153−+ Cabal file changes:
154−
155− - Removed parsec < 3 restriction.
156− - Added 'threaded' flag for architectures where GHC lacks a threaded
157− runtime.
158− - Use 'threaded' only for markdown2pdf; it is not needed for pandoc.
159− - Require highlighting-kate 0.2.7.
160−
161−+ Use explicit imports from `Data.Generics`. Otherwise we have a
162− conflict with the 'empty' symbol, introduced in syb >= 0.2. (Issue #237)
163−
164−+ New data files: slidy/slidy.min.js, slidy/slidy.min.css, epub.css.
