The new `pandoc.Inlines` function behaves identical on string input, but
allows other Inlines-like arguments as well.
The `pandoc.utils.text` function could be written as
function pandoc.utils.text (x)
assert(type(x) == 'string')
return pandoc.Inlines(x)
end
The marshaling functions for pandoc's AST are extracted into a separate
package. The package comes with a number of changes:
- Pandoc's List module was rewritten in C, thereby improving error
messages.
- Lists of `Block` and `Inline` elements are marshaled using the new
list types `Blocks` and `Inlines`, respectively. These types
currently behave identical to the generic List type, but give better
error messages. This also opens up the possibility of adding
element-specific methods to these lists in the future.
- Elements of type `MetaValue` are no longer pushed as values which
have `.t` and `.tag` properties. This was already true for
`MetaString` and `MetaBool` values, which are still marshaled as Lua
strings and booleans, respectively. Affected values:
+ `MetaBlocks` values are marshaled as a `Blocks` list;
+ `MetaInlines` values are marshaled as a `Inlines` list;
+ `MetaList` values are marshaled as a generic pandoc `List`s.
+ `MetaMap` values are marshaled as plain tables and no longer
given any metatable.
- The test suite for marshaled objects and their constructors has
been extended and improved.
- A bug in Citation objects, where setting a citation's suffix
modified it's prefix, has been fixed.
We were including the ams environment type in addition
to the number. This is proper behavior for `\cref` but
not for `\ref`. To support `\cref` we need to store
the environment label separately.
- Resolve references to theorem environments.
- Remove Span caused by "label" in figure, table, and theorem
environments; this had an id that duplicated the environments' id.
See #813.
Fixed calculation of maximum column widths in pipe tables.
It is now based on the length of the markdown line, rather
than a "stringified" version of the parsed line. This should
be more predictable for users. In addition, we take into account
double-wide characters such as emojis.
Closes#7713.
The function converts a string to `Inlines`, treating interword spaces
as `Space`s or `SoftBreak`s. If you want a `Str` with literal spaces,
use `pandoc.Str`.
Closes: #7709
Using a Lua string where a list of inlines is expected will cause the
string to be split into words, replacing spaces and tabs into
`pandoc.Space()` elements and newlines into `pandoc.SoftBreak()`.
The previous behavior was to treat the string `s` as `{pandoc.Str(s)}`.
The old behavior can be recovered by wrapping the string into a table
`{s}`.
Some people use `---` as the end delimiter in YAML
bibliography files, which causes the `yaml` library
to emit an error unless we explicitly allow multiple
YAML documents (and just consider the first).
