pandoc 2.2.3

on GitHub

Note: This release has a serious regression in YAML metadata parsing (see #4817), so I've removed the binaries.
I will make a new release when the issue has been fixed.

• RST reader: improve parsing of inline interpreted text roles (#4811).

  • Use a Span with class “title-reference” for the default title-reference role.
  • Use B.text to split up contents into Spaces, SoftBreaks, and Strs for title-reference.
  • Use Code with class “interpreted-text” instead of Span and Str for unknown roles. (The RST writer has also been modified to round-trip this properly.)
  • Disallow blank lines in interpreted text.
  • Backslash-escape now works in interpreted text.
  • Backticks followed by alphanumerics no longer end interpreted text.
  • Remove support for nested inlines (Francesco Occhipinti). RST does not allow nested emphasis, links, or other inline constructs. This fixes several bugs (#4581, #4561, #4792).

• Org reader: fix parsers relying on parseFromString (#4784, Albert Krewinkel). Emphasis was not parsed when it followed directly after some block types (e.g., lists).

• Markdown reader: Allow unquoted numbers and booleans as YAML mapping keys. Previously in 2.2.2 you could not do

  ---
  0: bar
  ...
  

  but only

  ---
  '0': bar
  ...
  

  With this change, both forms work.

• DocBook reader: metadata handling improvements. Now we properly parse title and subtitle elements that are direct children of book and article (as well as children of bookinfo, articleinfo, or info). We also now use the subtitle metadata field for subtitles, rather than tacking the subtitle on to the title.

• RST writer:

  • Allow images to be directly nested within links (#4810, Francesco Occhipinti).
  • Use titleblock instead of title variable for title block (#4803, Francesco Occhipinti). titleblock contains a properly formatted title and subtitle (using top-level headers). title and subtitle variables are still available and just contain the title and subtitle text. Note that this change will require an update to custom rst templates.
  • Render Code with class “interpreted-text” as interpreted text role.

• MediaWiki writer: Avoid extra blank line in tables with empty cells (#4794). Note that the old output is semantically identical, but the new output looks better.

• Lua Utils module: add function blocks_to_inlines (#4799, Albert Krewinkel). Exposes a function converting which flattenes a list of blocks into a list of inlines. An example use case would be the conversion of Note elements into other inlines.

• RST template: use titleblock instead of title. Users of custom RST templates will want to update this.

• LaTeX template: Moved some beamer code in default.latex template. This change allows beamer themes to change the template and font (as Metropolis does) (#4450).

• Better error message on -t pdf -o out.pdf (#1155, Mauro Bieg).

• Added test case for #4669 to repository.

• INSTALL.md: Fix broken link for cabal-install (#4806, ChanHoHo).

• MANUAL.txt:

  • Add beamer info for slide backgrounds (#4802, John Muccigrosso).
  • Clarify when csquotes is used in LaTeX writer (#4514).
  • Add commonmark to list of output formats where raw_tex has an effect (see #4527).
