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:
---
title:
- type: main
text: My Book
- type: subtitle
text: An investigation of metadata
creator:
- role: author
text: John Smith
- role: editor
text: Sarah Jones
identifier:
- scheme: DOI
text: doi:10.234234.234/33
publisher: My Press

...
These can be set to get `\listoftables` and `\listoffigures`.
Closes#1407.
At this point we won't add a command line argument, because
this only affects one writer. But the variables can be set
at the command line with
-Vlof -Vlot
or in YAML metadata.
Now the `title`, `section`, `header`, and `footer` can all be set
individually in metadata. The `description` variable has been
removed.
Quotes have been added so that spaces are allowed in the title.
If you have a title that begins
COMMAND(1) footer here | header here
pandoc will parse it as before into a title, section, header, and
footer. But you can also specify these elements explicitly.
Closes#885.
* Depend on pandoc 1.12.
* Added yaml dependency.
* `Text.Pandoc.XML`: Removed `stripTags`. (API change.)
* `Text.Pandoc.Shared`: Added `metaToJSON`.
This will be used in writers to create a JSON object for use
in the templates from the pandoc metadata.
* Revised readers and writers to use the new Meta type.
* `Text.Pandoc.Options`: Added `Ext_yaml_title_block`.
* Markdown reader: Added support for YAML metadata block.
Note that it must come at the beginning of the document.
* `Text.Pandoc.Parsing.ParserState`: Replace `stateTitle`,
`stateAuthors`, `stateDate` with `stateMeta`.
* RST reader: Improved metadata.
Treat initial field list as metadata when standalone specified.
Previously ALL fields "title", "author", "date" in field lists
were treated as metadata, even if not at the beginning.
Use `subtitle` metadata field for subtitle.
* `Text.Pandoc.Templates`: Export `renderTemplate'` that takes a string
instead of a compiled template..
* OPML template: Use 'for' loop for authors.
* Org template: '#+TITLE:' is inserted before the title.
Previously the writer did this.
