- Add width, height variables to reveal.js.
- Update reveal.js template from 3.1 source.
All configuration options are now available as variables,
but are only be included if set (reveal.js uses defaults
otherwise).
- Added comment stating that the page is autogenerated by
pandoc, giving version.
- Added `adjusting` and `hyphenate` variables.
- Documented new variables.
Instead of directly using `lang`, we now use `babel-lang` and
`polyglossia-lang` and `context-lang`. These variables are set by
the writers to the necessary values, based on the `lang` variable
(which now always takes a value in BCP47 format).
Thanks to Xavier Olive.
The addition of the `CJKoptions` variable allows one to set (e.g.)
a bigger font size for Asian fonts than latin ones.
Including dvipsnames allows specifying colors like MidnightBlue
for link colors. This brings in a dependency on the color package,
but it is a standard package and required anyway by graphics.
This avoids an error "Please load package hyperref before bidi package,
and then try to run xelatex on your document again". See
jgm/pandoc-templates #96.
* Use polyglossia with xelatex in beamer (#85).
* Provide `\tightlist` in beamer template (Anders Persson).
* Add toccolor variable to control link color in toc (Kaixhin).
Currently, pandoc has hard-coded the following in order to make tight lists in
LaTeX:
```hs
text "\\itemsep1pt\\parskip0pt\\parsep0pt"
```
Which is fine, but does not allow customizations. For example, the `memoir`
class already has a `\tightlist` declaration for this purpose:
```tex
\newcommand{\tightlist}{%
\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}}
```
I'm proposing to use a similar solution:
```diff
@@ In Writers/LaTeX.hs:
-then text "\\itemsep1pt\\parskip0pt\\parsep0pt"
+then text "\\tightlist"
@@ In templates/default.latex:
+\newcommand{\tightlist}{%
+ \setlength{\itemsep}{1pt}\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}\setlength{\parsep}{0pt}}
```
This allows us to customize the tightness to our needs.
Backward Compatibility
If a person is using a custom LaTeX template (not based upon the `memoir`
class), the `\tightlist` declaration must be added.
Previously we just expected 'title', 'subtitle', 'author', 'date'.
Now we still support those, but also support the format recommended
for epub metadata in the pandoc README:

- type: main
