This exports functions that uses xml-conduit's parser to produce an xml-light Element or [Content]. This allows existing pandoc code to use a better parser without much modification. The new parser is used in all places where xml-light's parser was previously used. Benchmarks show a significant performance improvement in parsing XML-based formats (especially ODT and FB2). Note that the xml-light types use String, so the conversion from xml-conduit types involves a lot of extra allocation. It would be desirable to avoid that in the future by gradually switching to using xml-conduit directly. This can be done module by module. The new parser also reports errors, which we report when possible. A new constructor PandocXMLError has been added to PandocError in T.P.Error [API change]. Closes #7091, which was the main stimulus. These changes revealed the need for some changes in the tests. The docbook-reader.docbook test lacked definitions for the entities it used; these have been added. And the docx golden tests have been updated, because the new parser does not preserve the order of attributes. Add entity defs to docbook-reader.docbook. Update golden tests for docx. |

Pandoc
The universal markup converter
Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup format to another, and a command-line tool that uses this library. It can convert from

Pandoc can also produce PDF output via LaTeX, Groff ms, or HTML.
Pandoc’s enhanced version of Markdown includes syntax for tables, definition lists, metadata blocks, footnotes, citations, math, and much more. See the User’s Manual below under Pandoc’s Markdown.
Pandoc has a modular design: it consists of a set of readers, which parse text in a given format and produce a native representation of the document (an abstract syntax tree or AST), and a set of writers, which convert this native representation into a target format. Thus, adding an input or output format requires only adding a reader or writer. Users can also run custom pandoc filters to modify the intermediate AST (see the documentation for filters and Lua filters).
Because pandoc’s intermediate representation of a document is less expressive than many of the formats it converts between, one should not expect perfect conversions between every format and every other. Pandoc attempts to preserve the structural elements of a document, but not formatting details such as margin size. And some document elements, such as complex tables, may not fit into pandoc’s simple document model. While conversions from pandoc’s Markdown to all formats aspire to be perfect, conversions from formats more expressive than pandoc’s Markdown can be expected to be lossy.
