on GitHub

Add server capabilities.

• New exported module Text.Pandoc.Server [API change].
• The pandoc executable now starts up a web server when renamed or symlinked as pandoc-server, and functions as a CGI program when renamed or symlinked as pandoc-server.cgi. See the man page for pandoc-server for full documentation.

Text.Pandoc.App.Opts: Redo FromJSON for Opt so that optional values can be omitted (in which case the values from defaultOptions are used).

Org reader: treat “abstract” block as metadata (Albert Krewinkel, #8204). A block of type “abstract” is assumed to define the document’s abstract. It is transferred from the main text to the metadata.

Org template: add abstract from metadata as block of type “abstract” (#8204).

HTML writer: use flex property for column widths (Albert Krewinkel, #8232).

LaTeX writer:

• Add label to tables that have an identifier (Albert Krewinkel, #8219). Tables with an identifier are marked with a \label. A caption is always included in this case, even if the caption is empty.
• Use \textquotesingle for straight quotes in text.
• Fix widths of multicolumn cells (#8218).

LaTeX template: fix behavior of colorlinks variable (Albert Krewinkel, #8226). Fixes a regression in 2.19 that required the boxlinks variable to be set in addition to the usual link coloring variables. Otherwise links were never colored in LaTeX PDF output.

Text.Pandoc.Highlighting: Export lookupHighlightingStyle [API change]. Previously this lived in an unexported module Text.Pandoc.App.CommandLineOptions, under the name lookupHighlightStyle.

Text.Pandoc.App:

• Remove unneeded MonadIO constraints in readSources.
• Factor out convertWithOpts' from convertWithOpts. This runs in any PandocMonad, MonadIO, MonadMask instance. So far it is not exported, but it might find a use later.

Support --strip-comments in commonmark/gfm (#8222). This change makes the commonmark reader sensitive to readerStripComments.

Lua: add function pandoc.utils.citeproc (Albert Krewinkel). The function runs the citeproc processor on a Pandoc document. Exposing this functionality to Lua allows to make citation processing part of a filter or writer, simplifies the creation of multiple bibliographies, and enables the use of varying citation styles in different parts of a document.

Refactor linux/make_artifacts.sh.

Update INSTALL.md installation from source instructions.

Use base64 package instead of base64-bytestring. It is supposed to be faster and more standards-compliant.

trypandoc improvements:

• Add dropdown with canned examples.
• Add citeproc support.
• Support csv, bibliographic and binary formats.
• Add load from file.
• Add permalink. Don’t always reload page.
• Use vanilla JS and CSS + the new pandoc-server.cgi.

Allow haddock-library-1.11.0.

Convert tool/extract-changes.hs to a Lua filter.
