- `--ascii` is now turned on automatically for man output, for
portability. All man output will be escaped to ASCII.
- In T.P.Writers.Groff, `escapeChar`, `escapeString`, and
`escapeCode` now take a boolean parameter that selects
ascii-only output. This is used by the Ms writer for
`--ascii`, instead of doing an extra pass after writing
the document.
- In ms output without `--ascii`, unicode is used whenever
possible (e.g. for double quotes).
- A few escapes are changed: e.g. `\[rs]` instead of `\\` for
backslash, and `\ga]` instead of `` \` `` for backtick.
Previously, the writer would unconditionally emit HTMLish output for
subscripts, superscripts, strikeouts (if the strikeout extension is
disabled) and small caps, even with raw_html disabled.
Now there are plain-text (and, where possible, fancy Unicode)
fallbacks for all of these corresponding (mostly) to the Markdown
fallbacks, and the HTMLish output is only used when raw_html is
enabled.
This commit adds exported functions `toSuperscript` and
`toSubscript` to `Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared`. [API change]
Closes#4528.
Now the `write*` functions for Docbook, HTML, ICML, JATS,
Man, Ms, OPML are sensitive to `writerPreferAscii`. Previously
the to-ascii translation was done in Text.Pandoc.App, and
thus not available to those using the writer functions
directly.
In addition, the LaTeX writer is now sensitive to
`writerPreferAscii` and to `--ascii`. 100% ASCII
output can't be guaranteed, but the writer will use
commands like `\"{a}` and `\l` whenever possible,
to avoid emiting a non-ASCII character.
A new unexported module, Text.Pandoc.Groff, has been
added to store functions used in the different groff-based
writers.
This now allows raw LaTeX environments, `\ref`, and `\eqref` to
be parsed (which is helpful for translation HTML documents using
MathJaX).
Closes#1126.
It is a bit awkward to have a title for every frame, but not for the one
that holds the table of contents. Allow users to specify a title if they
wish.
As noted [here](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/49805) ([beamer
commit here](ff70090f36)),
`noframenumbering` is an undocumented, but long existing option
to disable frame numbering for a particular slide. This is useful
to avoid numbering backup slides.
