The marshaling functions for pandoc's AST are extracted into a separate
package. The package comes with a number of changes:
- Pandoc's List module was rewritten in C, thereby improving error
messages.
- Lists of `Block` and `Inline` elements are marshaled using the new
list types `Blocks` and `Inlines`, respectively. These types
currently behave identical to the generic List type, but give better
error messages. This also opens up the possibility of adding
element-specific methods to these lists in the future.
- Elements of type `MetaValue` are no longer pushed as values which
have `.t` and `.tag` properties. This was already true for
`MetaString` and `MetaBool` values, which are still marshaled as Lua
strings and booleans, respectively. Affected values:
+ `MetaBlocks` values are marshaled as a `Blocks` list;
+ `MetaInlines` values are marshaled as a `Inlines` list;
+ `MetaList` values are marshaled as a generic pandoc `List`s.
+ `MetaMap` values are marshaled as plain tables and no longer
given any metatable.
- The test suite for marshaled objects and their constructors has
been extended and improved.
- A bug in Citation objects, where setting a citation's suffix
modified it's prefix, has been fixed.
This allows us to get rid of the old custom prelude and
some crufty cpp. But the primary reason for this is that
conduit has bumped its base lower bound to 4.12, making it
impossible for us to support lower base versions.
The new HsLua version takes a somewhat different approach to marshalling
and unmarshalling, relying less on typeclasses and more on specialized
types. This allows for better performance and improved error messages.
Furthermore, new abstractions allow to document the code and exposed
functions.
citeproc changes allow us to ignore Quoted elements;
citeproc now uses its own method for represented quoted
things, and only localizes and flipflops quotes it adds itself.
See #87.
The one thing left to do is to convert Quoted elements in
bibliography databases (esp. titles) to `Span ("",["csl-quoted"],[])`
before passing them to citeproc, IF the localized quotes
for the quote type match the standard inverted commas.
Use latest citeproc, which uses a Span with a class rather
than a Note for notes. This helps us distinguish between
user notes and citation notes.
Don't put citations at the beginning of a note in parentheses.
(Closes #7394.)
- Use dev version of citeproc, which handles duplicate
ids better, preferring the last one in the list
and discarding the rest.
- Ensure that inline citations take priority over external
ones.
See jgm/citeproc#36.
This restores the behavior of pandoc-citeproc.
