pandoc 3.6.2

on GitHub

New output format: pod (Evan Silberman). Pod (“Plain old documentation”) is a markup languaged used principally to document Perl modules and programs.

New reader module Text.Pandoc.Readers.Pod, exporting readPod [API change].

Docx reader:

• Support row heads in tables (#9495). Reader: When w:tblLook has w:firstColumn set (or an equivalent bit mask), we set row heads = 1 in the AST.
• Read table styles as custom styles when styles extension is enabled (#9603).

HTML reader:

• Add size information for font awesome SVG icons (#10134). If the icon has class fa-fw or fa-w16 or fa-w14, we add a width attribute to prevent the icon from appearing full-width in PDF or docx output.

Djot reader:

• Use a Span with class “mark” rather than “highlighted” for highlighted text, for consistency with the other pandoc readers and writers.

mandoc reader:

• Add mdoc St for C23 (Evan Silberman).

RST reader:

• Fix handling of underscores (#10497). Fixes a a regression introduced in 3.6.

Docx writer:

• Support row heads in tables (#9495). Writer: set w:firstColumn in w:tblLook when there are row heads. (Word only allows one, so this is triggered by any number of row heads > 0.)

Djot writer:

• Render a Span with sole class “mark” as highlighted text.

Asciidoc writer:

• Don’t emit the class in a span if it’s just “mark” (#10511). The “mark” class is used for highlighting, and Asciidoc treats bare #...# with no attributes as highlighted text.
• Improve escaping (#10385, #2337, #6424).

EPUB v2 writer:

• Fix cover image (#10505). This is a regression introduced in 3.6.

Typst writer:

• Fix handling of pixel image dimensions (#9945). These are now converted to inches as in the LaTeX writer.

Improve error message given when users specify asciidoc as input format (#8416, Santiago Zarate).

Allow random 1.3.

Use texmath 0.12.8.13 (typst improvements).

lua-filters.md: document system.os return values (#10523).

MANUAL.txt:

• Improve manual’s coverage of custom styles.
• Replace LibreOffice PDF documentation link to latest so it links to the latest major release rather than a specific major release (which there are two of every year) (Stéphane Guillou).
• Improve links and descriptions for odt, opendocument (#10518).
