pandoc 3.1.1

on GitHub

EPUB reader: Give additional information in error if the epub zip container can’t be unpacked.

TSV reader: don’t gobble tabs as whitespace (#8661).

Org reader: accept empty tables (#8659).

LaTeX reader: fix multiplication syntax for tabular (#8658). We recognized *{6}{...} but not *6{...} or *6c.

Docx reader: parse image alt texts in LibreOffice generated files. LibreOffice tags images slightly differently than Word; this change lets the parses take that difference into account when looking for an image description (alt text).

DocBook reader:

• Fix <xref> references to tables in DocBook files (#8626, Pavol Otto).
• Parse figure as a Figure element in the AST (#8668).

JATS reader: avoid generating duplicate figure captions (#8669).

RST reader: align with spec in syntax for role names (#8653). In particular, we now allow colons in row names.

Add note on converting from .doc format to FAQs (#8654).

Trap error in getAppUserDataDirectory (#8648). This can raise an error if pandoc is run in a non-user environment.

LaTeX writer: do not use longtable foot with Beamer (#8638, Albert Krewinkel). The table foot is made part of the table body, as otherwise it won’t show up in the output. The root cause for this is that longtable cannot detect page breaks in Beamer.

LaTeX template: Add CJKsansfont and CJKmonofont for XeLaTeX (#8656, Yudong Jin). CJKsansfont and CJKmonofont will be set for xelatex only if CJKmainfont is also provided.

URL style in ConTeXt (#8612, Thomas Hodgson). Previously, a URL like this would be in monospace text: \useURL[url1][https://example.com]. Now, it will match the main text unless the linkstyle variable is set, which controls the styling of all links. Closes #8602.

Asciidoc writer: Properly escape | in table cells (#8665).

asciidoc{,tor} template: fix revision date when author is unset (#8637, arcnmx). Revision line syntax is only valid in combination with an author line, so the date attribute must be set explicitly when the author is missing

HTML writer: allow “track” element to be treated as block-level HTML (#8629).

Include needed polyfill when MathJaX is used (#8625).

JATS writer: include alt-text in <graphic>, <inline-graphic> elements (#8631, Albert Krewinkel).

Chunked HTML writer: Retain metadata in processing sections for chunked HTML (#8620). Previously we suppressed metadata in all but the top page, in order to prevent the title block from being printed on every page. This prevented use of custom variables set by metadata fields. This commit moves to a better solution: a conditional in the default template restricts the title block to the top page.

Lua API:

• Add new function pandoc.system.cputime (Albert Krewinkel). The function returns the CPU time consumed by pandoc and can be used to benchmark Lua computations.
• Add module pandoc.json to handle JSON encoding (#8605, Albert Krewinkel).

Use pandoc-lua-marshal 0.2.1 (Albert Krewinkel). All major AST elements now have __tojson metamethods that return the JSON representation of an element. This allows to JSON-encode these elements with libraries that respect the __tojson metamethod, including dkjson.

Use latest zip-archive. This allows pandoc to open certain epubs that it could not open before.

Use commonmark-extensions 0.2.3.4. This fixes some bugs involving definition lists and inline formatting.

Use latest skylighting-format-context

MANUAL.txt:

• Document chunk-template in defaults file.
• Remove obsolete “raw content in a style” section.
• Revise documentation for --mathml to reflect support in all major browsers (#8667).

docs/custom-readers.md: Update JSON parsing example. The example now uses the built-in pandoc.json library to parse the API output.

doc/press.md: Add article on CiTO in J Cheminform by @egonw.

doc/lua-filters.md: fix typo in run_json_filter (Morgan Willcock).
