Closes#3511.
Previously pandoc used the four-space rule: continuation paragraphs,
sublists, and other block level content had to be indented 4
spaces. Now the indentation required is determined by the
first line of the list item: to be included in the list item,
blocks must be indented to the level of the first non-space
content after the list marker. Exception: if are 5 or more spaces
after the list marker, then the content is interpreted as an
indented code block, and continuation paragraphs must be indented
two spaces beyond the end of the list marker. See the CommonMark
spec for more details and examples.
Documents that adhere to the four-space rule should, in most cases,
be parsed the same way by the new rules. Here are some examples
of texts that will be parsed differently:
- a
- b
will be parsed as a list item with a sublist; under the four-space
rule, it would be a list with two items.
- a
code
Here we have an indented code block under the list item, even though it
is only indented six spaces from the margin, because it is four spaces
past the point where a continuation paragraph could begin. With the
four-space rule, this would be a regular paragraph rather than a code
block.
- a
code
Here the code block will start with two spaces, whereas under
the four-space rule, it would start with `code`. With the four-space
rule, indented code under a list item always must be indented eight
spaces from the margin, while the new rules require only that it
be indented four spaces from the beginning of the first non-space
text after the list marker (here, `a`).
This change was motivated by a slew of bug reports from people
who expected lists to work differently (#3125, #2367, #2575, #2210,
#1990, #1137, #744, #172, #137, #128) and by the growing prevalance
of CommonMark (now used by GitHub, for example).
Users who want to use the old rules can select the `four_space_rule`
extension.
* Added `four_space_rule` extension.
* Added `Ext_four_space_rule` to `Extensions`.
* `Parsing` now exports `gobbleAtMostSpaces`, and the type
of `gobbleSpaces` has been changed so that a `ReaderOptions`
parameter is not needed.
Acronyms are not resolved by the reader, but acronym and glossary information is put into attributes on Spans so that they can be processed in filters.
The structure expected is:
<div class="columns">
<div class="column" width="40%">
contents...
</div>
<div class="column" width="60%">
contents...
</div>
</div>
Support has been added for beamer and all HTML slide formats.
Closes#1710.
Note: later we could add a more elegant way to create
this structure in Markdown than to use raw HTML div elements.
This would come for free with a "native div syntax" (#168).
Or we could devise something specific to slides
Previously we just tacked on a directory to the command
line, but that didn't work when we e.g. used a pipe for round tripping,
with two invocations of pandoc.
We assume that comments are defined as parsed by the
docx reader:
I want <span class="comment-start" id="0" author="Jesse Rosenthal"
date="2016-05-09T16:13:00Z">I left a comment.</span>some text to
have a comment <span class="comment-end" id="0"></span>on it.
We assume also that the id attributes are unique and properly
matched between comment-start and comment-end.
Closes#2994.
Previously they would be transmitted to the template without
any escaping.
Note that `--M title='*foo*'` yields a different result from
---
title: *foo*
---
In the latter case, we have emphasis; in the former case, just
a string with literal asterisks (which will be escaped
in formats, like Markdown, that require it).
Closes#3792.
Also, fix regular macros so they're expanded at the
point of use, and NOT also the point of definition.
`\let` macros, by contrast, are expanded at the
point of definition. Added an `ExpansionPoint`
field to `Macro` to track this difference.
We previously did this only with raw blocks, on the assumption
that math environments would always be raw blocks. This has changed
since we now parse them as inline environments.
Closes#3816.
Thus, a span with attribute 'foo' gets written to HTML5
with 'data-foo', so it is valid HTML5.
HTML4 is not affected.
This will allow us to use custom attributes in pandoc without
producing invalid HTML.
