A new function `pandoc.mediabag.items` was added to Lua module
pandoc.mediabag. This allows users to lazily iterate over all media bag
items, loading items into Lua one-by-one. Example:
for filename, mime_type, content in pandoc.mediabag.items() do
-- use media bag item.
end
This is a convenient alternative to using `mediabag.list` in combination
with `mediabag.lookup`.
Version specifiers like `PANDOC_VERSION` and `PANDOC_API_VERSION` are
turned into `Version` objects. The objects simplify version-appropriate
comparisons while maintaining backward-compatibility.
A function `pandoc.types.Version` is added as part of the newly
introduced module `pandoc.types`, allowing users to create version
objects in scripts.
This makes use of tasty-lua, a package to write tests in Lua
and integrate the results into Tasty output. Test output becomes
more informative: individual tests and test groups become visible
in test output. Failures are reported with helpful error messages.
The `system` Lua module provides utility functions to interact with the
operating- and file system. E.g.
print(pandoc.system.get_current_directory())
or
pandoc.system.with_temporary_directory('tikz', function (dir)
-- write and compile a TikZ file with pdflatex
end)
Instead of `$HOME/.pandoc`, the default user data directory is
now `$XDG_DATA_HOME/pandoc`, where `XDG_DATA_HOME` defaults to
`$HOME/.local/share` but can be overridden by setting the environment
variable.
If this directory is missing, then `$HOME/.pandoc` is searched
instead, for backwards compatibility. However, we recommend
moving local pandoc data files from `$HOME/.pandoc` to
`$HOME/.local/share/pandoc`.
On Windows the default user data directory remains the same.
Closes#3582.
[API change]
* Depend on ipynb library.
* Add `ipynb` as input and output format.
* Added Text.Pandoc.Readers.Ipynb (supports both nbformat v3 and v4).
* Added Text.Pandoc.Writers.Ipynb (supports nbformat v4).
* Added ipynb readers and writers to T.P.Readers,
T.P.Writers, and T.P.Extensions. Register the
file extension .ipynb for this format.
* Add `PandocIpynbDecodingError` constructor to Text.Pandoc.Error.Error.
* Note: there is no template for ipynb.
The only thing we gained from the custom build was
automatic installation of the man page when using
'cabal install'. But custom builds cause problems,
e.g., with cross-compilation.
Installation of the man page is better handled by packagers.
Note to packagers (e.g. Debian): it may be necessary
to add a step installing the man page with the next
release.
