The V font is defined conditionally, so that it renders
like CB in output formats that support that, and like B
in those that don't (e.g. the terminal).
We could just redefine C, but this would affect code
blocks, too, and putting them all in boldface looks ugly,
I think.
Possible drawback: fragments created by pandoc's man
writer will presuppose a nonstandard V font.
Closes#7506.
Supersedes 253467a549.
Closes#7506.
This also allows us to get rid of some special casing
on definition lists that ensured that options in code
spans would be boldface. (If this change is ever reverted,
we'll need that again.)
Previously we used our own homespun formatting. But this
produces over-long lines that aren't ideal for diffs in tests.
Easier to use something off-the-shelf and standard.
Closes#7580.
Performance is slower by about a factor of 10, but this isn't
really a problem because native isn't suitable as a serialization
format. (For serialization you should use json, because the reader
is so much faster than native.)
Motivation: in a man page there's not much use for relative URLs,
which you can't follow. Absolute URLs are still useful. We previously
suppressed relative URLs starting with '#' (purely internal links),
but it makes sense to go a bit farther.
Closes#5770.
Now we boldface code but not other things. This matches the
most common style in man pages (particularly option lists).
Also, remove a regression in the last commit in which 'nowrap'
was removed.
T.P.GroffChar: replaced `essentialEscapes` with `manEscapes`,
which includes all the escapes mentioned in the groff_man manual.
T.P.Writers.Groff: removed escapeCode; changed parameter on
escapeString from Bool to new type `EscapeMode`.
Rewrote `escapeString`.
- Improve escaping of accented characters with `--ascii`.
Combining accents are now handled properly.
- Don't escape spaces and tabs in code blocks. This doesn't
seem to be necessary.
- `--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.
(unexported module). These are used in both the man and ms
writers.
Moved groffEscape out of Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared [cancels earlier
API change from adding it, which was after last release].
This fixes strong/code combination on man (should be `\f[CB]` not
`\f[BC]`), mentioned in #4973.
Updated tests.
Closes#4975.
This is now the default for pandoc's Markdown.
It allows whitespace between the two parts of a
reference link: e.g.
[a] [b]
[b]: url
This is now forbidden by default.
Closes#2602.
