The process was too fragile. It made too many assumptions about
available libraries (which failed sometimes when sandboxes were
used). This is a low-tech solution. The only drawback is that
`man/pandoc.1` is a generated file in the repository. It will need
to be regenerated periodically when README changes.
The pandoc.1 man page is generated automatically after the cabal
build process. It goes in `data/pandoc.1`. It can be obtained
by the user who installs pandoc via cabal thus:
pandoc --print-default-data-file pandoc.1 > pandoc.1
+ Removed `--man1`, `--man5` options (breaking change).
+ Removed `Text.Pandoc.ManPages` module (breaking API change).
+ Version bump to 1.15 because of the breaking changes, even
though they involve features that have only been in pandoc
for a day.
+ Makefile target for `man/man1/pandoc.1`. This uses pandoc to
create the man page from README using a custom template and filters.
+ Added `man/` directory with template and filters needed to build
man page.
+ We no longer have two man pages: pandoc.1 and pandoc_markdown.5.
Now there is just pandoc.1, which has all the content from README.
This change was needed because of the extensive cross-references
between parts of the README.
+ Removed old `data/pandoc.1.template` and
`data/pandoc_markdown.5.template`.
This change adds `--man1` and `--man5` options to pandoc, so
pandoc can generate its own man pages.
It removes the old overly complex method of building a separate
executable (but not installing it) just to create the man pages.
The man pages are no longer automatically created in the build
process.
The man/ directory has been removed. The man page templates
have been moved to data/.
New unexported module: Text.Pandoc.ManPages.
Text.Pandoc.Data now exports readmeFile, and `readDataFile`
knows how to find README.
Closes#2190.
In 1b44acf0c5 we replaced some
hackish CSS parsing with css-text, which I thought was a complete
CSS parser. It turns out that it is very buggy, which results
in lots of things being silently dropped from CSS when
`--self-contained` is used (#2224).
This commit replaces the use of css-text with a small but
more principled css preprocessor, which only removes whitespace
and replaces URLs with base 64 data when possible.
Closes#2224.
* Reverted kludgy change to make-windows-installer.bat.
* Removed make-reference-fiels.hs.
* Moved the individual ingredients of reference.docx and
reference.odt to the data directory.
* Removed reference.docx and reference.odt from data directory.
* We now build the reference archives from their ingredient pieces
in the docx and odt writers, instead of having a reference.docx
or reference.odt intermediary.
This should fix#2187.
It also simplifies the bulid procedure.
The one thing users may notice is different is that you can
no longer get the reference.docx or reference.odt using
`--print-default-data-file`. Instead, simply generate a
docx or odt using pandoc with a blank or minimal input,
and use that (or a customized version) with `--reference-docx`
or `--reference-odt`.
We only support the href attribute, as there's no place for
"target" in the Pandoc document model for links.
Added HTML reader test module, with tests for this feature.
Closes#1751.
