Element attributes are pushed to the stack via the `Attributes`
function. `Attributes` creates an Attr like triple, but the triple also
allows table-like access to key-value pairs.
Provide functions `pandoc.SingleQuoted`, `pandoc.DoubleQuoted`,
`pandoc.DisplayMath`, and `pandoc.InlineMath` to allow simple building
of Math and Quoted elements.
Lua string are used to represent nullary data constructors. The previous
table-based representation was based on the JSON serialization, but can
be simplified. This also matches the way those arguments are passed to
custom writers.
Instead of taking only a single argument containing the pre-packed
element contents, `Inline` constructors now take the same arguments as
the respective filter and `Custom` writer function
Closes#3547.
Macro definitions are inserted in the template when there is highlighted
code.
Limitations: background colors and underline currently not
supported.
Modified template to include a `<back>` and `<body>` section.
This should give authors more flexibility, e.g. to put
acknowledgements metadata in `<back>`. References are
automatically extracted and put into `<back>`.
* New module: Text.Pandoc.Writers.Ms.
* New template: default.ms.
* The writer uses texmath's new eqn writer to convert math
to eqn format, so a ms file produced with this writer
should be processed with `groff -ms -e` if it contains
math.
* Add `--lua-filter` option. This works like `--filter` but takes pathnames of special lua filters and uses the lua interpreter baked into pandoc, so that no external interpreter is needed. Note that lua filters are all applied after regular filters, regardless of their position on the command line.
* Add Text.Pandoc.Lua, exporting `runLuaFilter`. Add `pandoc.lua` to data files.
* Add private module Text.Pandoc.Lua.PandocModule to supply the default lua module.
* Add Tests.Lua to tests.
* Add data/pandoc.lua, the lua module pandoc imports when processing its lua filters.
* Document in MANUAL.txt.
This contains a list of strings that will be recognized by pandoc's
Markdown parser as abbreviations. (A nonbreaking space will
be inserted after the period, preventing a sentence space in
formats like LaTeX.)
Users can override the default by putting a file abbreviations
in their user data directory (`~/.pandoc` on *nix).
All templates now include `code{white-space: pre-wrap}`
and CSS for `q` if `--html-q-tags` is used.
Previously some templates had `pre` and others `pre-wrap`;
the `q` styles were only sometimes included.
See #3485.
Polyglot markup is HTML5 that is also valid XHTML. See
<https://www.w3.org/TR/html-polyglot>. With this change, pandoc's
html5 writer creates HTML that is both valid HTML5 and valid XHTML.
See jgm/pandoc-templates#237 for prior discussion.
* Add xml namespace to `<html>` element.
* Make all `<meta>` elements self closing.
See <https://www.w3.org/TR/html-polyglot/#empty-elements>.
* Add `xml:lang` attribute on `<html>` element, defaulting to blank, and
always include `lang` attribute, even when blank. See
<https://www.w3.org/TR/html-polyglot/#language-attributes>.
* Update test files for template changes.
The key justification for having language values default to blank: it
turns out the HTML5 spec requires it (as I read it). Under
[the HTML5 spec, section "3.2.5.3. The lang and xml:lang
attributes"](https://www.w3.org/TR/html/dom.html#the-lang-and-xmllang-attributes),
providing attributes with blank contents both:
* Has meaning, "unknown", and
* Is a MUST (written as "must") if a language value is not provided ...
> The lang attribute (in no namespace) specifies the primary language
> for the element's contents and for any of the element's attributes that
> contain text. Its value must be a valid BCP 47 language tag, or the
> empty string. Setting the attribute to the empty string indicates that
> the primary language is unknown.
In short, it seems that where a language value is not provided then a
blank value MUST be provided for Polyglot Markup conformance, because
the HTML5 spec stipulates a "must". So although the Polyglot Markup spec
is unclear on this issue it would seem that if it was correctly written,
it would therefore require blank attributes.
Further justifications are found at
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-templates/issues/237#issuecomment-275584181
(but the HTML5 spec justification given above would seem to be the
clincher).
In addition to having lang-values-default-to-blank I recommend that, when an
author does not provide a lang value, then upon on pandoc command execution
a warning message like the following be provided:
> Polyglot markup stipulates that 'The root element SHOULD always specify
> the language'. It is therefore recommended you specify a language value in
> your source document. See
> <https://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/> for valid
> language values.
