* `---` is always em-dash, `--` is always en-dash.
* pandoc no longer tries to guess when `-` should be en-dash.
* A new option, `--old-dashes`, is provided for legacy documents.
Rationale: The rules for en-dash are too complex and
language-dependent for a guesser to work reliably. This
change gives users greater control. The alternative of
using unicode isn't very good, since unicode em- and en-
dashes are barely distinguishable in a monospace font.
Add the ability to refer to internal links to the ConTeXt writer, just
like the HTML writer can. The 'hierarchicalize' function generates
unique names for sections, which can be used for references in ConTeXt,
just as they can be in HTML.
The ConTeXt writer adds these unique identifiers to each \section and
does special processing of the Link target to see if it starts with a
'#' (hash symbol), which is the tip-off that the link is an internal
link.
Beamer output uses the default LaTeX template, with some
customizations via variables.
Added `writerBeamer` to `WriterOptions`.
Added `--beamer` option to `markdown2pdf`.
* This is a breaking API change for `writeHtml`.
* It introduces a new dependency on blaze-html.
* Pandoc now depends on highlighting-kate >= 0.4, which
also uses blaze-html.
* The --ascii option has been removed, because of differences
in blaze-html's and xhtml's escaping.
* Pandoc will no longer transform leading newlines in code
blocks to `<br/>` tags.
It was always possible to include raw DocBook tags in a markdown
document, but now pandoc will be able to distinguish block from
inline tags and behave accordingly. Thus, for example,
<sidebar>
hello
</sidebar>
will not be wrapped in `<para>` tags.
`--mathjax` now takes an optional URL argument. If it is not provided,
pandoc links directly to the (secure) mathjax CDN.
This is what they now recommend. Thanks to dsanson.
Instead of latex.template, we now have default.latex.
An appropriate extension is added automatically if the value of
`--template` has no extension. So, `pandoc --template=special -t latex`
looks for `special.latex`, while `pandoc --template=special -t man`
looks for `special.man`.
Deprecated `writerXeTeX` and the `--xetex` option.
The latex writer now produces a file that can be processed
by latex, pdflatex, lualatex, or xelatex, so this option isn't
needed.
The option is still neded in markdown2pdf, however, which
has been modified to take some options that aren't in pandoc.
