Description

  • Add ascii_identifiers as a supported extension for markdown. This fixes a regression in 2.8.

  • Fix regression with behavior of --variable (#5962). Previously -Vfoo=1 -Vfoo=2 would produce a list value for foo; with 2.8 it produced just 2. This commit restores the earlier behavior.

  • Roll back part of of --shift-heading-level-by change (#5957). With positive heading shifts, starting in 2.8 this option caused metadata titles to be removed and changed to regular headings. This behavior is incompatible with the old behavior of --base-header-level and breaks old workflows, so we have rolled back the change. Note that there is now an asymmetry in positive and negative heading level shifts: With positive shifts, the metadata title stays the same and does not get changed to a heading in the body, while with negative shifts, a heading can be converted into the metadata title.

  • Text.Pandoc.Shared: Fix makeSections so it doesn't turn column Divs into sections.

  • HTML writer: add task-list class to ul if all elements are task list items. This will allow styling unordered task lists in a way that omits the bullet.

  • HTML-based templates: Add CSS to suppress bullet on unordered task lists.

  • ConTeXt template: Fix \startcslreferences and use ConTeXt syntax conventions (#5945, Denis Maier). The old version had a too large a skip at the beginning of the reference list.

  • LaTeX template: keep the \author{} command even if author is not specified (#5961, Yihui Xie). Avoids a LaTeX warning.

  • Generate Emoji module with TH.

    • Add Text.Pandoc.Emoji.TH.
    • Replace long literal list in Text.Pandoc.Emoji with one-liner generating it from emoji.json using TH.
    • Add Makefile target to download emoji.json.
    • Remove tools/emoji.hs.

  • Increase GC allocation space for compilation in cabal.project.

  • Clean up manual on PDF generation backend options (#5940).

  • Update release checklist to include code signing step and update Windows release-candidate builds (#5950).
