pandoc 3.1.2

on GitHub

Add a Lua REPL (Albert Krewinkel). This can be started with pandoc lua -i. It is also possible to instruct a filter to open the REPL at a certain point, for debugging (see pandoc.cli.repl).

Support typst as a --pdf-engine.

Add typst writer (#8713). New module Text.Pandoc.Writers.Typst, exporting writeTypst [API change].

Org reader:

• Allow zero width space as an escape character (#8716, Christian Christiansen). Allow the character U+200B to be used as an escape character as described in the Org-mode documentation (https://orgmode.org/manual/Escape-Character.html).

DocBook reader:

• Handle “book” for xref references (#8712, Andres Freund) This also adds a test xref to book and part.
• Handle <part> (#8712).

HTML reader:

• Fix behavior with -native_spans-raw_html (#8711). Previously with this configuration, <span>s were not treated as inline elements at all.

HTML writer:

• Avoid duplicate classes (#8705).
• Use img element instead of embed for .svg.gz and .png.gz etc. (#8699).
• HTML writer footnotes changes (#8695): when --reference-location=section or =block, use an aside element for the notes rather than a section. When --reference-location=section, include the aside element inside the section element, rather than outside. (In slide shows, this option causes footnotes on a slide to be displayed at the bottom of the slide.)

EPUB writer:

• Use different structure for epub footnotes (#8676, see #8672, #5583). Many EPUB readers are thrown off by pandoc’s current footnote output. Both the ol and the fact that the footnote backlink is at the end of the note seem to pose problems. With this commit, we now create a list of aside (or div) elements, instead of an ordered list. Each element begins with a note number that is linked back to the note reference. (So, the backlink occurs at the beginning rather than the end.) Thanks to @Porges and @lewer.

Docx writer:

• Include abstract title (#8702). Uses localized term for abstract.

Markdown writer:

• Use implicit figures if there’s a caption but no alt (#8689, Albert Krewinkel).

Jira reader (Albert Krewinkel):

• Add panel title as nested div (#8681).
• Require jira-wiki-markup 1.5.1 (#8680). This fixes a bug in the parser that caused text between two exclamation marks to be parsed as an image. The first ! of image markup must now be followed by a non-space character; otherwise, the enclosed text is parsed as normal content.

Ms writer:

• Fix handling of Figure (#8660).

ICML writer:

• Fix images with data (#8675). The Contents element should be inside Properties.

LaTeX writer:

• Add Chinese to Babel languages.
• Fix background image in Beamer when there are figure environments (#8671, Martín Pozo).

LaTeX template:

• Add babelfonts variable to default LaTeX template. This allows specifying certain fonts to be used with certain babel languages. Thanks to Frederik Elwert.
• Fix highlight/underline with lualatex (#8707). We need the lua-ul package instead of soul, which doesn’t work with lualatex.

Lua (Albert Krewinkel):

• Add pandoc.cli.repl function
• Fix json.encode for nested AST elements. Ensures that objects with nested AST elements can be encoded as JSON.
• Auto-generate docs for pandoc modules.
• Load text module as pandoc.text. This only affects the name in the Lua-internal documentation. It is still possible to load the modules via require 'text', although this is deprecated.
• Move docs from module text to pandoc.text The latter is easier to use and more consistent with the other modules.
• Keep the Lua stack clean A metatable used during initialization was not properly removed from the stack. Likewise, accessing the CommonState from Lua previously led to the pollution of the Lua stack with a left-over value.
• Add function pandoc.format.from_path.
• Allow to get the JSON encoding of log messages.

Text.Pandoc.Format: Add new function formatFromFilePaths [API change] (#8710, Albert Krewinkel).

The old Text.Pandoc.App.FormatHeuristics module has been removed.

In --version, use Windows %APPDATA% variable to describe user data dir (#8686, Pablo Rodríguez).

Text.Pandoc.App.CommandLineOptions: don’t lowercase arg to --from/--read (Albert Krewinkel). This prevented users to use custom writers with uppercase characters in their filenames. Format-normalization, including lower-casing of format identifiers, happens during format parsing.

Documentation:

• Add doc/nix.md.
• Add doc/extras.md. This was formally in the website repo.
• doc/lua-filters.md: improve docs for pandoc.zip.

Factor out make_macos_release.sh from the release candidate workflow. Use cabal instead of stack to build the macos binary.

Modify linux/make_artifacts.sh so it will work on cirrus.

Switch to hslua-2.3

Depend on latest releases of texmath, doclayout.
