Click to expand changelog - Add `asciidoc` as an input format (#1456). - Add `xlsx` (Microsoft Excel) as an input format (Anton Antich). Each worksheet turns into a section containing a table. - Add `pptx` (PowerPoint) as new input format (Anton Antich). - Add `bbcode` as a new output format (#11242, reptee). Several variants of BBCode are also supported: `bbcode_fluxbb` (FluxBB), `bbcode_phpbb` (phpBB), `bbcode_steam` (Hubzilla), `bbcode_hubzilla` (Hubzilla), and `bbcode_xenforo` (xenForo). - New exported module Text.Pandoc.Readers.AsciiDoc, exporting `readAsciiDoc` \[API change\]. - New module `Text.Pandoc.Readers.Pptx`, exporting `readPptx` (Anton Antich) \[API change\]. - New module `Text.Pandoc.Readers.Xlsx`, exporting `readXlsx` (Anton Antich) \[API change\]. - LaTeX reader: - Revert `\linebreak` as LineBreak (#11272). `\linebreak` is more of a hint, it shouldn’t produce a hard break. - Better handling of `\makeatletter` in parsing raw LaTeX (#11270). - Fix spurious paragraph breaks in math environments (#11265, Emmanuel Ferdman). Previously, a math environment with extra space before the `\end` would get rendered with a blank line, which LaTeX treats as a paragraph break. - Change type on `rawLaTeXParser` in Text.Pandoc.LaTeX.Parsing. The preparser doesn’t need to return a value. - Fix `rawTeXParser` (#11253). Make macro expansion in raw LaTeX depend on the setting of the `latex_macros` extension. Previously macros were always expanded, even in raw TeX in markdown. In addition, there was previously a bug that caused content to be garbled in certain cases. - Handle `ifstrequal` at a lower level, like the other `if` commands (#11253). - Move `ifstrequal`, `iftoggle`, etc., which were misplaced in `environments`, to `blockCommands`, so these commands work properly. - Docx reader: - Handle REF link instruction (#11296, Ezwal). - Check recursively for caption styles (Albert Krewinkel). The docx reader uses caption styles to identify figures and captioned tables. It now checks for known caption styles in the full styles hierarchy of a paragraph instead of just checking the style directly. This allows to recognize caption styles that are built on top of the basic *caption* style, as is sometimes the case in sophisticated styles. - Markdown reader: - Fix performance issue in links with `'` (#10880). - Typst reader: - Handle document metadata and `#title` ([jgm/typst-hs#80](https://github.com/jgm/typst-hs/issues/80)). Note that previously, the typst reader never returned document metadata. Now it does, even if the typst document does not contain a `#title` function that would result in actually printing the title block. - Djot reader: - Add Space elements (#11250). Previously we just got big Str elements with spaces included. But many pandoc writers assume that breakable spaces will be Space elements, and this is also required for automatic wrapping. - RST reader: - Correctly handle intraword emphasis (#11309). - Text.Pandoc.Readers: - Export `readAsciiDoc`, `readXlsx`, `readPptx` \[API change\]. - New module Text.Pandoc.Writers.BBCode, exporting `writeBBCode`, `writeBBCodeSteam`, `writeBBCodeFluxBB`, `writeBBCodePhpBB`, `writeBBCodeHubzilla`, `writeBBCodeXenforo` \[API change\]. - LaTeX writer: - Make level 1-3 headings work inside blockquotes (#11281, James Barlow). - Remove `split` from list of math environments (#11274). - Improve handling of math environments in tex math (#11266). - HTML writer: - Add reveal.js `scroll` and `scrollSnap` options to writer and template (#10052, Asliddinbek Azizovich). - Use ‘defer’ when including mathjax script, as recommended in MathJax docs (#11292). - ANSI writer: - Apply row spans in tables (#10149, Tuong Nguyen Manh). The ANSI writer is now able to keep track of row spans and apply them in rows. - Pptx writer: - Handle reference doc without slides (#7536, Tuong Nguyen Manh). - AsciiDoc writer: - Add more table features (#11267, Tuong Nguyen Manh): Row span and column span, footer row, individual horizontal cell alignment. - Typst template: - Fix font for compatibility with typst 0.14, which doesn’t permit an empty array for `font` (#11238). - Re-add `columns` to typst template (#11259), fixing a pandoc 3.8 regression. - Fix syntax for bibliography inclusion (#11233, Mickaël Canouil). Previously the syntax was wrong when multiple bibliography files were specified. Typst expects an array. - Text.Pandoc.Writers: - Export `writeBBCode`, `writeBBCodeSteam`, `writeBBCodeFluxBB`, `writeBBCodePhpBB`, `writeBBCodeHubzilla`, `writeBBCodeXenforo` \[API change\]. - Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared: - Add functions `insertCurrentSpansAtColumn`, `takePreviousSpansAtColumn` and `decrementTrailingRowSpans` for applying and keeping track of RowSpans over multiple rows (#10149, Tuong Nguyen Manh). \[API change\] - Text.Pandoc.Logging: - Change message for missing HTML title warning (#11307). Suggest setting the `pagetitle` variable instead of setting `title` in metadata. - Lua subsystem: - Preserve common state of custom Lua readers (Albert Krewinkel). The common state is transferred to Lua when calling a custom Lua reader, and is now also transferred back after the reader has finished. This ensures that info messages, warnings, and mediabag entries are available to the main program and all subsequent processing steps. - Text.Pandoc.PDF: - Avoid converting SVG to PDF when non-TeX PDF engine is used (#11275). This fixes a 3.8 regression, which caused documents with SVGs to raise an error when converted to PDF using WeasyPrint. - Fix a 3.8 regression with typst and smart quotes (#11256). Before 3.8, the default behavior when producing a PDF `-t typst` was to produce smart quotes according to typst’s defaults. (This could be defeated by specifying `-t typst-smart`.) This behavior broke in 3.8 because of a change to Text.Pandoc.PDF. This change caused `smart` to be disabled for all formats when producing PDFs, when before it was only disable for TeX-based formats (to avoid bad ligatures). This commit restores the old behavior. Possibly the regression also other affects other non-TeX formats, e.g. HTML. - Text.Pandoc.Shared: - Add functions `allRowsEmpty` and `tableBodiesToRows` from the RST writer for reuse in other writers. (Tuong Nguyen Manh) \[API change\]. - Text.Pandoc.Citeproc: - Allow formatting in locator to be transmitted to citeproc. We do this indirectly, by rendering the formatting using the HTML tags that citeproc recognizes. Fixes [jgm/citeproc#68](https://github.com/jgm/citeproc/issues/68) and [jgm/citeproc#163](https://github.com/jgm/citeproc/issues/163). Note that formatting is only possible for locators given in the explicit form, surrounded by curly braces. It won’t work for implicit locators, since these expect number-like expressions. - New non-exported module Text.Pandoc.Readers.OOXML.Shared containing functions factored out from Text.Pandoc.Readers.Docx.Util (Anton Antich). - Tests: The common file `nativeDiff` has been extracted from the Docx and Pptx text files and put in Tests.Helpers. - Use asciidoc 0.1, djot 0.1.2.4, texmath 0.13.0.2, typst 0.8.1, citeproc 0.12. - MANUAL.txt: - Improve `implicit_figure` documentation (#11082). - Give both forms of options when referring to them (#11306). - Update INSTALL.md (#11271).
