jgm/pandoc 1.14.1 on GitHub

Added --man1 and --man5 options to pandoc, allowing pandoc to generate its own man pages. Man pages are no longer automatically generated in the build process (the process for this was too complex and prone to failure, #2190). The make-pandoc-man-pages executable has been removed. The man/ directory has been removed, and man page templates have been moved to data/. NOTE TO PACKAGERS: You will no longer find pandoc's man pages in man/, but you can generate them using pandoc --man1 > pandoc.1 and pandoc --man5 > pandoc_markdown.5.
Added new unexported module: Text.Pandoc.ManPages.
README now acts like a data file (even though it isn't in data/). So, for example, pandoc --print-default-data-file README will produce the README.) This change was required for the --man1 and --man5 options, since the man pages are produced from the README, but it may be useful for other purposes as well.
Allow reference.docx and reference.odt to be used with --print-default-data-file and to shadow defaults if placed in the user data directory. Note that as of 1.14, we no longer include these files as data files; instead, we include their components. This change causes pandoc to behave as if it has these data files; they are constructed on demand when needed using getDefaultReferenceDocx and getDefaultReferenceODT.
Fixed regression in CSS parsing with --self-contained (#2224). Pandoc 1.14.0.x used css-text to parse the CSS, but its parser silently drops big sections of CSS. This commit replaces the use of css-text with a small but principled CSS preprocessor, which removes whitespace and comments and replaces url() with base 64 data when possible.
Use https:// instead of // for MathJax and KaTeX CDN URLs (#1920). This will allow math to work when pages are being viewed locally.
Text.Pandoc.Options: Export plainExtensions. These are the extensions used in plain output.
LaTeX reader: Don't parse _ and ^ as sub/superscript outside of math mode; treat them as regular inline text. Normally these will cause an error in LaTeX, but there are contexts (e.g. alltt environments) where they are allowed.
HTML reader: allow <body> to close <head>.
DocBook reader: support mediaobjects and figures (#2184, mb21).
RST reader: Fix reference names with special characters (Lars-Dominik Braun).
Textile writer: escape + and - as entities (#2225).
DokuWiki writer: Use proper <code> tags for code blocks (#2213).
Plain writer: don't use symbols for super/subscript (#2237). Simplified code by using plainExtensions.
InDesign writer: Properly escape URLs containing more than one colon character (gohai).
Docx writer: Make sure we use dist version of reference.docx (and not the user's version) for certain settings. Taking some settings values from a user-supplied reference.docx can lead to corruption. This fixes a regression from the last release (#2249).
Text.Pandoc.Shared: exports getDefaultReferenceDocx and getDefaultReferenceODT (API change). These functions have been removed from the Docx and ODT writers.
LaTeX template (Xavier Olive):
Added CJKmainfont and CJKoptions variables.
Allow dvipsnames (e.g. MidnightBlue) for colors (Xavier Olive).
Epub templates: use author.role, not author.type.
Bump cmark version to >= 0.3.4.
Improved Windows installer (#2205, thanks to nkalvi). Users can now select a per-user or systemwide install, and can set the installation path. At the end of installation, the install location is given. The install location is also now given in the list of installed programs in Control Panel. Cleaner WiX syntax is used for setting the path.
Added download_stats target to Makefile.
