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.

Changes
Revision history for pandoc
pandoc 3.2 (2024-05-11)
-
Change to
--file-scope
behavior (#8741): previously a Div with an identifier derived from the filename would be added around the contents of each file. This caused problems for “chunking” files into chapters, e.g. in EPUB. We no longer add the surrounding Div. This cooperates better with chunking. Note, however, that if you have relied on the old behavior to link to the beginning of the contents of a file using its filename as identifier, that will no longer work. -
Markdown reader:
- Allow repeated labels in numbered example lists. Previously if you tried to use the same label as an earlier example list item, you’d get a new number, not the old one, and references to the label would go to the second occurrence. Now an existing label will be reused, and no new number will be generated. Caveat: this only works reliably when the re-used example list item occurs by itself in a list, or occurs in a list of previously used example list items that occur in exactly the same order as previously.
- Fix
normalCite
so it doesn’t consume past a closing]
boundary (#9710). This was causing an exponential performance bug on long lists of links containing potential emphasis characters. - Generalize
inlinesInBalancedBrackets
toinBalancedBrackets
, with a parameter for the inner parser. - Auto-close unclosed divs (#9635). This applies to both fenced and HTML-ish varieties. Otherwise we face an exponential performance problem with backtracking. A warning is issued when a div is implicitly closed.
-
RST reader:
- Fix
figclass
andalign
annotations for figures (#7473, Gokul Rajiv).
- Fix
-
LaTeX writer:
- Use
polytonicgreek
instead ofpolutonikogreek
with babel (#9698).polutonikogreek
is outdated. Also recognize both in the LaTeX reader. - Improve treatment of math inside soul commands (#1294, #5529).
soul commands (
ul
,hl
,st
) are very fragile and the math must be handled specially.
- Use
-
LaTeX reader:
- Fix over-eager macro expansion in conditionals (#9676).
- Parse
flalign
,flalign*
math environments (#9679). We parse these as Math elements with analigned
environment. Semantically it’s not exactly the same, but better than falling back to raw LaTeX.
-
LaTeX template: add
titlegraphicoptions
variable (#9207, Guilhem Saurel). -
Docx reader:
- Issue warning rather than error when we can’t parse EndNote citations (see #8433).
- Fix anchor in header after anchor (#9626, mbracke).
-
RTF reader:
- Don’t try to handle non-default code pages (#9683). Emit a warning instead.
-
OpenDocument writer:
- Implement custom-style for spans (#9657).
-
Typst writer:
- Add blank line in definition lists with multiple definitions (see #9704).
- Property output (#9648, Gordon Woodhull). The Typst writer will pass
on specially marked attributes as raw Typst parameters on selected
elements. This allows extensive customization using filters.
A separate document (
doc/typst-property-output.md
) has been added that provides extensive documentation and examples of the use of this feature.
-
Markdown writer:
- Don’t try to align columns in pipe tables with lines greater than COLUMNS. The alignment just reduces readibility when the lines soft wrap.
- Don’t use
raw_attribute
syntax for raw blocks, unless there is no other option (see #9677). Macros in araw_attribute
block don’t get interpreted when it is read again by pandoc’s markdown reader.
-
ConTeXt writer:
- Replace depreciated
\sc
with\setsmallcaps
(#9518, James P. Ascher).
- Replace depreciated
-
Docx writer:
- Use conventional styles/indents for Word bullet lists (#7280).
-
reference.docx
:- Use current standard Word theme (#7280). This includes using the sans-serif font Aptos instead of the serif font Cambria, and default colors for headings.
- Remove duplicate
DefaultParagraphFont
instyles.xml
.
-
New module Text.Pandoc.Transforms [API change] (Albert Krewinkel). This module exports the following functions which were formerly exported from Tetx.Pnadoc.Shared:
headerShift
,filterIpynbOutput
,eastAsianLineBreakFilter
, as well as some functions that were previously not exported. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared:
headerShift
,filterIpynbOutput
, andeastAsianLineBreakFilter
are no longer exported from this module; they are now exported from Text.Pandoc.Transforms (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Text.Pandoc.Error:
- Improve reporting of unsupported extensions errors (#9247, Albert Krewinkel).
-
Text.Pandoc.App:
- Move “transforms” after filters (#9664). This will mean that
--shift-heading-level-by
affects a heading added byreference-section-title
.
- Move “transforms” after filters (#9664). This will mean that
-
Text.Pandoc.App.CommandLineOptions:
- Simplify output for
OptVersion
. Omit the information about versions of dependencies. We no longer emit version info at this level anyway;pandoc-cli
intercepts and handles--version
. This code would only be called if someone used the pandoc library functionhandleWithOptInfo
in their own program.
- Simplify output for
-
Text.Pandoc.ImageSize:
- Export
ImageSize
datatype.
- Export
-
Text.Pandoc.SelfContained:
- Merge class attribute when both img and svg specify it (#9652, Carlos Scheidegger).
-
Text.Pandoc.Logging:
- Add
ScriptingInfo
constructor forLogMessage
[API change] (Albert Krewinkel). - Make
DocxParserWarning
a WARNING, not INFO. [API change]. - Add
UnsupportedCodePage
constructor toLogMessage
[API change]. - Add
UnclosedDiv
constructor forLogMessage
[API change].
- Add
-
Lua subsystem (Albert Krewinkel:
- Add a
pandoc.log
module. - Uupdate to pandoc-lua-marshal version 0.2.7 (#8916).
This fixes counterintuitive behavior of the
content
property on BulletList and OrderedList items. Unmarshalling of that field now matches the behavior of the constructor. - Use newest zip module. This adds a
symlink
function to Entry objects, allowing to check if an entry represents a symbolic link. - Improve
pandoc.json.decode
docs. - Update and fix docs for
pandoc.types.Version
andpandoc.utils.type
. - Add new module
pandoc.image
The module provides basic querying functions for image properties. - Bump pandoc-lua-engine to 0.2.1.4.
- Add a
-
Use latest KaTeX CDN asset (#9707, Salim B).
-
pandoc-cli
: ensure UTF8 when emitting version info. -
tools/update-lua-module-docs.lua: improve script-internal docs, cleanup (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Allow network 3.2.
-
Use latest versions of texmath, djot, skylighting-core, skylighting.
-
Fix command test for #9652.
-
Fix some typos in code comments (#9638, guqicun).
-
Command tests: include regular PATH after directory with the test executable (ensures that DLLs will be found on Windows).
-
MANUAL.txt:
- Document
handout
variable for beamer (#9742). - Document formats affected by
--slide-level
(#9745). - Update the list of required LaTeX packages (#9728, Albert Krewinkel).
- Use more descriptive link text for ODT (#9673).
- Add clarification about
toc-title
indocx
,pptx
(#9645). - Better document truthiness for conditionals (#9661).
- Mention that
custom-style
works with ODT (Ian Max Andolina). - Harmonize typographic dashes (#9688, Salim B). Standardize on
---
with no space.
- Document
-
INSTALL.md: Minor tweaks (#9705, Leo Heitmann Ruiz).
pandoc 3.1.13 (2024-04-07)
-
Org reader:
- Fix treatment of
id
property under heading (#9639).
- Fix treatment of
-
DocBook reader:
- Add empty title to admonition div if not present (#9569).
This allows admonition elements (e.g.
<note>
) to work withgfm
admonitions even if the<title>
is not present.
- Add empty title to admonition div if not present (#9569).
This allows admonition elements (e.g.
-
DokuWiki reader:
- Link text cannot contain formatting (e.g.,
//
is not italics) (#9630). - An explicitly empty link text (
[[url|]]
) works the same as an omitted link text (#9632).
- Link text cannot contain formatting (e.g.,
-
Typst reader:
- Support Typst 0.11 table features: col/rowspans, table head and foot (#9588).
- Parse cell col/rowspans.
-
CSLJson writer:
- Put
$
or$$
around math incsljson
output (#9616).
- Put
-
ConTeXt writer:
- Fix options order with
\externalfigure
. The dimensions should come after the class if both are present.
- Fix options order with
-
Typst writer:
- Put label after Span, not before. Labels get applied to preceding markup item.
- Support Typst 0.11 table features (#9588): colspans, rowspans, cell alignment overrides, relative column widths, header and footer, multiple table bodies with intermediate headers. Row heads are not yet supported.
- The default typst template has been modified so that tables don’t have lines by default. As is standard with pandoc, we only add a line under a header or over a footer. However, a different default stroke pattern can easily be added in a template.
- More reliable escaping in inline
[..]
contexts (#9586). For example, we need to escape[\1. April]
or it will be treated as an ordered list. - Handle
unnumbered
on headings (#9585).
-
LaTeX writer:
- Fix math inside strikeout (#9597).
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared:
- Export
isOrderedListMarker
[API change].
- Export
-
Change lhs tests so they don’t use
--standalone
. This will avoid test failures due to minor changes in skylighting versions, e.g. #9589. -
Use latest texmath, typst.
-
Require pandoc-lua-marshal 0.2.6 (#9613, Albert Krewinkel). Fixes an issue arising when the value of
content
properties on BlockQuote, Figure, and Div elements was an empty list. -
Update lua-filters.md (#9611, Carlos Scheidegger).
pandoc 3.1.12.3 (2024-03-17)
-
Markdown reader: Fix bug with footnotes at end of fenced div (#9576).
-
LaTeX reader:
- Improve tokenization of
@
(#9555). Make tokenization sensitive to\makeatletter
/\makeatother
. Previously we just always treated@
as a letter. This led to bad results, e.g. with the sequence\@
. E.g.,a\@ b
would parse as “ab” anda\@b
as “a”. - Make
withRaw
work insideparseFromToks
(#9517). This is needed for raw environments to work inside table cells. - Better handling of table colwidths (#9579). Previously the parser just
failed if the column width specified in
p{}
wasn’t a multiple of\linewidth
. This led to cases where content was skipped.
- Improve tokenization of
-
Typst writer:
- Add ‘kind’ parameter to figures with tables (#9574).
- Avoid unnecessary box around image in figure (#9236).
- Omit width/height in images unless explicitly specified (#9236). Previously we computed width/heigth for images that didn’t have size information, because otherwise typst would expand the image to fit page width. This typst behavior has changed in 0.11. This change fixes a bug in which images would sometimes overflow page margins, depending on their intrinsic size.
- Don’t add hard-coded
inset
to tables (#9580). Instead, set this globally in the default template, allowing it to be customized.
-
LaTeX template: Fix block headings support for unnumbered paragraphs (#9542, #6018, Oliver Fabel).
-
HTML templates: Replace polyfill provider (#9537, @SukkaW). Replace polyfill.io with cdnjs.cloudflare.com/polyfill. polyfill.io has been acquired by Funnull, and the service has become unstable.
-
Korean translations: delete colon in translation for ‘to’. This was invalid YAML, and not desired anyway, since a colon is added.
-
Use latest commonmark, commonmark-extensions. This fixes a 3.12 regression in parsing of commonmark/gfm autolinks (jgm/commonmark-hs#151).
-
Depend on djot 0.1.1.3, which fixes a serious parsing bug affecting regular paragraphs after lists.
-
Depend on latest skylighting, skylighting-core, typst-hs, texmath.
-
MANUAL.txt: Change broken link to IDML cookbook (#9563).
pandoc 3.1.12.2 (2024-02-29)
-
Docx reader:
- Ensure that table captions are counted (#9518).
- Detect caption by style name not id (#9518). The styleId can change depending on the localization.
- Avoid emitting empty paragraph where caption was.
-
Markdown reader: fix regression in link parsing with wikilinks extensions (#9481). This fixes a regression introduced in 3.1.12.
-
Org reader/writer: support admonitions (#9475).
-
Org writer: omit extra blank line at end of quote block.
-
Typst writer: ensure that
-
,+
, etc. are escaped at beginning of block (#9478). Our recent relaxing of escaping (#9386) caused problems for things like emphasized-
characters that were rendered using#strong[-]#
. This now gets rendered as#strong[\-]
. -
LaTeX writer: fix bug when a language is specified in two different ways (#9472). If you used
lang: de-DE
but then had a span or div withlang=de
, the preamble would try to loadngerman
twice, leading to an error. This fix ensures that a language is only loaded once. -
Docx writer: Don’t copy over
footnotePr
insettings.xml
from reference.docx (#9522). -
EPUB writer: omit EPUB2-specific meta tag on EPUB3 (#9493). This caused a validation failure in epubs with cover images.
-
Lua: avoid crashing when an error message is not valid UTF-8 (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Text.Pandoc.SelfContained:
- Add
role="img"
to svgs. - Add
aria-label
to svg elements withalt
text if present. Screen readers ignorealt
attributes on svg elements but do pay attention toaria-label
(#9525).
- Add
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared: Fix regression in section numbering in
makeSections
(#9516). Starting with pandoc 3.1.12, unnumbered sections incremented the section number. -
Text.Pandoc.Class: fix
openUrl
TLS negotiation (#9483). With the release of TLS 2.0.0, the TLS library started requiring Extended Main Secret for the TLS handshake. This caused problems connecting to zotero’s server and others that do not support TLS 1.3. This commit relaxes this requirement. -
Depend on djot 0.1.1.0 (fixes rendering on multiline block attributes).
-
Use new releases of skylighting-format-blaze-html (#9520). Fixes auto-wrapping of long source lines in HTML print media.
-
Use new commonmark-extensions (fixes issue with the
rebase_relative_paths
extension when used with commonmark/gfm. -
Makefile: improve epub-validation target (#9493). Use
--epub-cover-image
to catch issues that only arise with that.
pandoc 3.1.12.1 (2024-02-17)
-
EPUB writer: omit EPUBv3-specific accessibility features on epub2 (#9469). Fixes a regression in 3.1.12.
-
More fixes for SVG ids with
--self-contained
(#9467). This generalizes the fix to #9420 so it applies to things likestyle="fill(url(#..."
and should fix problems with SVGs including gradients. -
Powerpoint writer: properly handle math in headings and tables (#9465). This ensures that paragraphs containing math are wrapped in a
mc:AlternateContent
node as required. -
Makefile: make validate-epub check v2 output too.
pandoc 3.1.12 (2024-02-14)
-
Add
djot
as input and output format. Djot is a light markup syntax (https://djot.net).- New module Text.Pandoc.Readers.Djot [API change]. The function
readDjot
is also exported by Text.Pandoc.Readers. - New module Text.Pandoc.Writers.Djot [API change]. The function
writeDjot
is also exported by Text.Pandoc.Writers.
- New module Text.Pandoc.Readers.Djot [API change]. The function
-
--number-sections
now uses the first digit for the number of the top-level section, no matter what its level. So if the top-level section is level-2, numbers will be1
,2
, etc. rather than0.1
,0.2
, as in the past (#5071). For some backwards compatibility, we revert to the old behavior when the--number-offset
option is used. -
DocBook reader:
- Better handling of
<procedure>
and<substeps>
(#9341):<procedure>
now gets parsed as an ordered list, and<substeps>
as a sublist.
- Better handling of
-
Man reader:
- Move spaces outside of emph/strong (#9445).

LaTeX reader:
- Improve treatment of
\cref
,\Cref
(#7463). Use the reference-typeref+label
andref+Label
. Also, associate with\vref
ref
instead ofref+page
. - Limited support for
\Cref

Typst writer:
- Use reference form (e.g.
@jones2000[p. 30]
) for citations when possible. - Use
#ref
or@
for links withreference-type="ref"
(#7463). This attribute is added to LaTeX\cref
, for example. - Improve citation support (#9452). Emit
form: "prose"
orform: "year"
qualifiers if the citation is author-in-text or suppress-author. Strip initial comma from suffix, since typst will add an extra one. - Unescape URI escapes in image paths (#9389).
- Handle labels and citaiton ids with spaces and other special
characters (#9387). In these cases, we produce an explicit
label()
rather than using<>
or@

EPUB writer:
- Add ARA roles for accessibility (#9378, Iacobus1983). Footnote references are given role “doc-noteref”, footnote text gets “doc-footnote”, and nav gets “doc-toc”.
- Ensure that an alt attribute is always added (#9354). This seems to be required by iBooks; even an empty alt attribute will satisfy it.
- Add
xml:lang
to package element (#9372). - Add accessibility metadata to EPUB metadata (#9372, #9400, Iacobus1983 and John MacFarlane). Reasonable default values are used to ensure that pandoc’s EPUBs conform to the EU Accessibilty Act requirements, but values can be overridden using metadata.
-
Docx writer:
- Restore ability to center-justify table (#9393). The fix to #5947 caused all tables to be left indented. This was necessary to avoid extra indentation in table cells when a table appeared in a list item. This change makes the changes conditional, so that they only affect tables in list items.
-
Man writer:
- Fix bug with long URLs (#9458). URLs with more than 68 characters didn’t display properly because of wrapping.
- Support (limited) syntax highlighting in code blocks (#9446).
Currently only boldface and italics are supported. The
monochrome
style might be of use for those generating man pages.
-
Org writer:
- Escape special lines in code blocks (#9218, Albert Krewinkel).
-
Markdown writer:
- Use different width fences for nested divs (#9450). Outer divs have longer fences. This aids clarity for the reader, making it easier to see where the div ends. It also makes the output compatible with some other implementations, e.g. micromark, which require different-width fences for nesting.
- Fix output for pipe tables with a huge number
of columns (#9346). Previously we got invalid pipe tables when the
number of table columns exceeded the setting of
--columns
.
-
Powerpoint writer:
- Fix regression in layout for slides with figures (#9442).
- Use internal column widths in pptx writer tables (#5706, Tomas Dahlqvist). The table writer used to only divide all available width evenly for all columns. In this update the code uses the incoming widths if they are available. If they are not set the earlier even distribution is used. Some of the golden templates are adjusted slightly because of different rounding when using the new calculation model.
-
Custom writers:
- Fix handling of common state (#9229, Albert Krewinkel).
The CommonState (
PANDOC_STATE
in Lua) may change between the time that a custom writer script is first loaded and when the writer is run. However, the writer was always using the initial state, which led to problems, e.g. when the mediabag was updated in a filter, as those updates where not visible to the writer. The state is now updated right before the writer function runs.
- Fix handling of common state (#9229, Albert Krewinkel).

, for Divs and Spans added as wrappers to hold attributes on elements that do not accept them.makeSections
behavior changes:- When the optional base level parameter is provided, we no
longer ensure that the sequence of heading levels is gapless
(#9398). Instead, we set the lowest heading level to
the specified base level, and adjust the others accordingly. If
an author wants to skip a level, e.g. from level 1 to level 3,
they can do that. In general, the heading levels specified
in the source document are preserved;
makeSections

Text.Pandoc.Chunks:
- Autogenerate unique ids for sections missing them (#9383). This is needed for TOC generation to work properly. We can’t create TOC links if there are no ids. This fixes some EPUB validation issues we’ve been getting since switching over to Chunks for chunking.
- Improve
fixTOCTreePaths
. We weren’t adding ids for section headings that don’t head a chunk, but these headings are needed for a TOC.

Lua: catch encoding error in
pandoc.read

-
Text.Pandoc.Readers: Add
readMan

Text.Pandoc.PDF:
- Reliably detect when TOC has changed (#9295). Sometimes the TOC changes but there are no warnings: this happens when no labels are present. In this case we must rerun LaTeX. So we now take the SHA1 hash of the TOC file and rerun LaTeX if it changes between runs.
- Increase maximum number of LaTeX runs to 4 (#9299). On some documents, 4 runs are needed (e.g. when a LastPage reference is used).
- Avoid
readFileLazy
, which caused improperly cleaned-up temp directories on Windows (#9460).

MANUAL.txt:
- Harmonize spelling of Markdown and MultiMarkdown (#9402, Salim B).

Text.Pandoc.PDF:
- Expand list of environment variables to display in verbose output (#9303).
- Ensure that we find all the LaTeX warnings requiring a rerun (#9284). This should fix a regression from 3.1.9 that led to incorrect alignments in tables (and possibly other issues).
-
Docx writer:
- Ensure that pandoc’s output validates (Edwin Török, #9273, #9269, John MacFarlane, #9265, #9266, #9264).
- Don’t emit empty table rows, which seem to cause problems for Word (#9224).
-
LaTeX writer:
- Omit superfluous page locator label when used with
--natbib

- Add
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF:
- LaTeX warnings are passed on to the user as warnings.
- Use

withMakePDFWarning
andMakePDFInfo
to relay verbose information and warnings, instead of writing directly to stderr. - Parse logs to determine whether additional runs needed, instead of running a fixed number of times (#9255). (The number of times that was appropriate given pandoc’s default templates didn’t always work for custom templates, and thus pandoc 3.1.10’s change in the number of runs led to some regressions in PDF production.)
-
Makefile: in
make prelease
, add checks that pandoc-cli and pandoc have the same version, that pandoc-cli depends on this exact version of pandoc, that there is an entry for this version in the changelog, and that the version numbers in the generated man pages are correct. -
Regenerate man pages with pandoc 3.1.10. This properly escapes hyphens and fixes version numbers in man pages for
pandoc-server
andpandoc-lua

Depend on texmath 0.12.8.6. This omits unneeded
lr
s in typst math output. -
Depend on typst 0.5. This allows the typst reader to support multiline strings, the version type, and the

.
pandoc 3.1.10 (2023-12-12)
-
Link pandoc-cli version to pandoc version. Henceforth pandoc-cli’s version will be synchronized with pandoc’s, and pandoc-cli will depend on an exact pandoc version. This will avoid confusion by ensuring that
cabal install pandoc-cli-X.Y.Z
installs pandoc version X.Y.Z. It will make things more straightforward for upstream packagers (see #9232). This scheme does not follow the Haskell PVP, but that should cause no harm, because this package does not expose a library. -
Add

Text.Pandoc.PDF: We now default to running LaTeX only once in producing a PDF (instead of twice). This is made possible by the shift to the

Text.Pandoc.Class:
openURL
improvements for data uris. Only treat data URI asbase64

Previously
[^super^](#ref)

pandoc 3.1.7 (2023-08-31)
-
Org reader:
- Don’t parse alphabetical lists unless the
fancy_lists
extension is enabled (#9042). - Allow escaping commas in macro arguments (Amneesh Singh).
- Don’t parse alphabetical lists unless the
-
JATS reader:
- Support for
<permissions>
metadata (#9037, Julia Diaz). metadata objects with multiple fields are created, matching the structure in JATS. - Correct name of JATS element
attrib
.
- Support for
-
Markdown reader:
- Support images with wikilink syntax, e.g.
![[foo|bar]]
, when one of thewikilinks
extension is enabled (#8853). - Allow a citation or reference link to be parsed after a
!
(#8254). - Fix dropped
!
before nonexistent reference (#9038).
- Support images with wikilink syntax, e.g.
-
LaTeX writer:
- Fix regression in escaping URLs (#9043).
- Use
\cite
and\bibitem
to link up citations, even with citeproc. (#9031). This will give us better accessibility; when tagging is enabled, the citation can be linked to the bibliography entry. This changes some of the details of the layout and the default template. We now makeCSLReferences
a special enumitem list that will contain\bibitem
s. Internal links inside citations to ids beginning inref-
are creating using\cite
instead of\hyperref
. - Use
\phantomsection
and\label
instead of\hypertarget
(#9022). - Use
\hyperref
for LaTeX internal links,\hyperlink
for beamer (since\hyperref
doesn’t seem to work) (#9022). - Backslash-escape
%
and#
in URLs (#9014).
-
JATS writer:
- Fix placement of ref-list when no title is specified for the
reference section (#9017). (In this case we place it in
back
with an empty title.)
- Fix placement of ref-list when no title is specified for the
reference section (#9017). (In this case we place it in
-
Man writer:
- Avoid a
.PP
right after a section heading (#9020). This is at best a no-op (in groff man and mandoc) and at worst (in some formatters) may create extra whitespace. - We revert the fanciness introduced in #7506, which employs a
custom font name
V
and a macro that makes this act like boldface in a terminal and monospace in other formats. Unfortunately, this code uses a mechanism that is not portable (and does not work in mandoc) (#9020). - Instead of using
V
for inline code, we simply useCR
. Note that\f[CR]
is emitted instead of plain\f[C]
, because there is noC
font in man. (This produces warnings in recent versions of groff, #9020.) - For code blocks, we now use the
.EX
and.EE
macros, together with.IP
for spacing and indentation. This gives more standard code that can be better interpreted e.g. by mandoc (#9020).
- Avoid a
-
Man template: don’t emit
.hy
, regardless of setting ofhyphenate
variable (#9020). -
LaTeX template: special redefinition of
\st
for CJK (#9019). soul’s version raises on error on CJK text. -
Use latest skylighting-format-blaze-html (#7248). This works around a longstanding iOS Safari bug that caused long lines to be displayed in a different font size in highlighted code.
-
Allow skylighting 0.14 (and require it in pandoc core).
-
Allow text 2.1.
pandoc 3.1.6.2 (2023-08-22)
-
Org reader: allow example lines to end immediately after the colon (Brian Leung).
-
Docx reader:
- Omit “Table NN” from caption (#9002).
- Avoid spurious block quotes in list items (#8836).
-
JATS reader: Fix display of block elements (#8889, Julia Diaz). A number of block elements, like disp-quote, list, and disp-formula, were always treated as inlines if appearing inside paragraphs, even if their usage granted a separate block.
-
HTML reader: avoid duplicate id on header and div (#8991).
-
Typst writer:
- Use
~
for nonbreaking space, and escape literal~
(#9010). - Put the label in right place for Div, use
#block
(#8991). Previously we were putting the label at the beginning of the Div’s contents, but according to the documentation such a label gets attached to the preceding element. We now use an explicit#block
and add the label at the end.
- Use
-
LaTeX writer:
- Improve escaping of URIs in href, url (#8992).
- Improve internal links and targets (#8744). We no longer
wrap section headings in a
\hypertarget
. This is unnecessary (hyperref creates an anchor based on the label) and it interferes with tagging. In addition, we now use\hyperref
rather than\hyperlink
for internal links. Currently\hypertarget
is still being used for link anchors not on headings. Thanks to @u-fischer.
-
HTML format templates (style.html): Fix typo in clause for svg (Jackson Schuster).
-
Use lastest texmath, typst-symbols, typst. Targets typst 0.7.
pandoc 3.1.6.1 (2023-08-11)
-
HTML reader: properly calculate RowHeadColumns (#8984). This fixes a bug in the calculation of the number of header columns in table row. It also changes the algorithm for determining the table body’s RowHeadColumns based on the numbers of head columns in each row. Previously we used the max, and #8634 switched to the min, which led to bad results. Now we only set RowHeadColumns to a non-zero value if all rows have the same number of head columns.
-
OpenDocument writer:
- Implement syntax highlighting for inline and block code (#6710).
- Support highlighted text in ODT/OpenDocument writers for Span
with class
mark
(#8960). The color can be adjusted by modifying the Highlighted style.
-
Typst writer: escape
//
so it doesn’t get interpreted as a comment (#8966). -
ChunkedHTML writer: Fix regression including MathJax script (#8967). The fix for #8620 caused the script to be included when the table of contents but not the body text of a page contains math. But it broke the case where the table of contents doesn’t contain math but the page does. This patch fixes the issue.
-
Text.Pandoc.SelfContained:
- Retain attributes in SVG tag when referring to another
SVG’s content using
<use>
(#8969). - Allow units in width and height for SVG. Units are optional but allowed.
- Don’t coerce calculated SVG dimensions to Int.
- fix calculation of SVG width and height. We were computing width and height from viewBox incorrectly (#8969).
- Add clause for SVG to default CSS for HTML (#8969).
- Ensure that width and height attributes don’t get specified twice is both the img tag and the svg include them (#8965).
- Omit unnecessary attributes xmlns, xmlns:xlink, and version on SVG element (#8965).
- Use 20 character rather than 40 character hashes for generated IDs (#8965).
- Retain attributes in SVG tag when referring to another
SVG’s content using
-
Use pandoc-types 1.23.1. This fixes a regression with toJSONFilter (#8976), which in 1.23.0.1 no longer worked on pure values of type
a -> [a]
. -
Use ghc 9.6 for release builds (#8947).
-
Fix some links in FAQs (Diogo Almiro).
pandoc 3.1.6 (2023-07-20)
-
Fix CVE-2023-38745, a variant of the vulnerability in CVE-2023-35936. Guilhem Moulin noticed that the fix to CVE-2023-35936 was incomplete. An attacker could get around it by double-encoding the malicious extension to create or override arbitrary files.
-
--embed-resources
: Use inline SVG instead of data uris for SVG images in HTML5 (#8948). Note that SelfContained does not have access to the writer name, so we check for HTML5 by determining whether the document starts with<DOCTYPE! html>
. This means that inline SVG won’t be used when generating document fragments. -
Fix regression on short boolean arguments (#8956). In 3.1.5 boolean arguments were allowed an optional argument (
true|false
). This created a regression for uses of fused short arguments, e.g.-somyfile.html
, which was equivalent to-s -omyfile.html
, but now raised an error because pandoc attempted to parseo
as a booleantrue
orfalse
. This change allows the fused short arguments to be used again. Note that-strue
will be interpreted as-s
with an argumenttrue
, not as-s -t -rue
. It is best to use long option names with the optional boolean values, to avoid confusion. -
Make
--epub-title-page
’s argument optional. It takes a boolean argument, and now that all of our boolean flags take such an argument, we can make this one optional for consistency. -
Improve errors for illegal output formats. Previously if you did
pandoc -s -t bbb
, it would give you an error about the missingbbb
template instead of saying thatbbb
is not a supported output format. -
Improve errors for incorrect command-line option values (#8879). Always give the name of the relevant argument.
-
Fix typo on error message for incorrect
--preserve-tabs
argument. Thanks @fsoedjede -
Docx reader: use SVG version of image if present (#7244). Previously the backup PNG was exported even if an SVG was present, but the SVG should be preferred.
-
Typst reader: fix regression in recognition of display math (#8949). The last release caused all math to be parsed as inline math.
-
JATS writer: don’t use
<code>
for inline code (#8889). It is intended for block-level code. -
HTML writer: don’t make line blocks sensitive to
--wrap
(#8952). -
RST writer: fix figure handling (#8930, #8871). This fixes a number of regressions from pandoc 2.x. Properly handle caption, alt attribute in figures. No longer treat a paragraph with a single image in it as a figure (we have a dedicated Figure element now).
-
Docx writer: Copy “mirror margins” property from reference.docx (#8946).
-
Text.Pandoc.UTF8: Deprecate
decodeArg
which is now a no-op. This was needed for old base versions which we no longer support. -
Use released skylighting, typst.
-
Allow latest commonmark-extensions. This allows entities in wikilinks.
-
Switch back to using ghc 9.2 for linux and Windows binary releases (#8947, #8955). With ghc 9.4+, we were getting AVX instructions in the amd64 binary, which aren’t supported on older hardware. For maximum compatibility we switch back to ghc 9.2, which doesn’t cause the problem. (As documented, ghc should not be emitting these instructions, so we aren’t clear on the diagnosis, but the cure has been tested.)
-
Change Windows release build to use cabal instead of stack.
pandoc 3.1.5 (2023-07-07)
-
Allow all boolean flags to take an optional
true
orfalse
value (#8788, Sam S. Almahri). The default is true if no value is specified, so this is fully backwards-compatible. -
Support
--id-prefix
for markdown output (#8878) -
Markdown reader:
- Add strictness annotations to fix a memory leak (#8762).
-
Typst reader:
- Use typst-hs 0.3.0.0, which is more robust, fixes many bugs, and targets typst 0.6.
- Package loading is now supported, as long as the package has been cached or is local.
- Rewrite Typst reader in a way that makes it easier to extend.
- Filter out CR in raw.
- Handle block content for link element.
- Handle block-level content in text element.
- Handle style, align, place in inline contexts too.
- Improve info message for skipped elements.
-
Add typst reader tests (#8942).
-
MediaWiki reader:
- Revise treatment of “link trail.” Previously we only included ASCII letters. That is correct for English but not for, e.g., Spanish (see comment in #8525). A safer approach is to include all letters except those in the CJK unified ideograph ranges.
-
AsciiDoc writer:
- Make modern AsciiDoc the target for
asciidoc
(#8936). The AsciiDoc community now regards the dialect parsed byasciidoctor
as the official AsciiDoc syntax, so it should be the target of ourasciidoc
format. Theasciidoc
output format now behaves likeasciidoctor
used to.asciidoctor
is a deprecated synonym. For the oldasciidoc
behavior (targeting the Python script), useasciidoc_legacy
. The templates have been consolidated. Instead of separatedefault.asciidoctor
anddefault.asciidoc
templates, there is justdefault.asciidoc
. - Text.Pandoc.Writers.AsciiDoc API changes:
writeAsciiDoc
now behaves likewriteAsciiDoctor
used to.writeAsciiDoctor
is now a deprecated synonym forwriteAsciiDoc
.- New exported function
writeAsciiDocLegacy
behaves likewriteAsciDoc
used to.
- Update line-through for asciidoc writer to custom inline style (#8933, Kevin Broch).
- Make modern AsciiDoc the target for
-
Typst writer:
- Support
unlisted
class in headings (#8941). - Consolidate bibliography files into one
#bibliography
command (#8937). - Improve handling of autolinks (#8931).
- Support
-
Docx writer:
- Make relative widths work in tables. This didn’t work before because we were missing an attribute that tells Word to used fixed widths rather than computing optimal ones.
-
DokuWiki writer: fix lists with Div elements (#8920). The DokuWiki writer doesn’t render Divs specially, so their presence in a list (e.g. because of custom-styles) need not prevent a regular DokuWiki list from being used. (Falling back to raw HTML in this case is pointless because no new information is given.)
-
LaTeX writer:
- Fix babel name for
fa
(should bepersian
). - Prevent babel language from being imported twice (#8925).
- Fix babel name for
-
Text.Pandoc.Class:
-
Add
toTextM
[API change]. This is likeText.Pandoc.UTF8.toText
, except:- it takes a file path as first argument, in addition to bytestring contents
- it raises an informative error with source position if the contents are not UTF8-encoded
This replaces
utf8ToText
whenever we have the filename and are in a PandocMonad instance. This will lead to more informative error messages for UTF8-encoding, indicating the file path and byte offset where the error occurs (#8884). -
-
Remove invalid term “Subject” from Turkish translations (#8921).
-
stack.yaml: add pkg-config to nix packages (#8927, pacien).
-
Allow aeson 2.2.
-
MANUAL: Add clarification on –section-divs. Closes #8882.
pandoc 3.1.4 (2023-06-24)
-
Fix a security vulnerability in MediaBag and T.P.Class.IO.writeMedia. This vulnerability, discovered by Entroy C, allows users to write arbitrary files to any location by feeding pandoc a specially crafted URL in an image element. The vulnerability is serious for anyone using pandoc to process untrusted input. The vulnerability does not affect pandoc when run with the
--sandbox
flag. [CVE-2023-35936] -
Allow
epub-title-page
to be used in defaults files (#8908). -
Issue
Extracting
info message (in--verbose
mode) when using--extract-media
or extracting media temporarily in PDF production. -
HTML reader: Update TableBody RowHeadColumns caculation (#8634, Ruqi). This change sets RowHeadColumns to the minimum value of each row, which gives better results in cases where rows have different numbers of leading th tags.
-
Dokuwiki reader: retain image query parameters as attributes (#8887, echo0).
-
Textile reader: Add support for link references (#8706, Stephen Altamirano). Textile supports what it calls “link alias”, which are analogous to Markdown’s reference-style links.
-
LaTeX reader: support alt text on images (#8743, Albert Krewinkel).
-
Commonmark reader: Make
implicit_figures
work again. Support for this (introduced in #6350) disappeared when we made an architectural change. -
JATS reader:
- Add footer and multiple body parsing to table reader (#8765, Noah Malmed).
- Parse references title from ref-list (#8365).
-
JATS writer:
- Make
--number-sections
work. - Include title in ref-list (#8364). Previously the reference title ended up in a separate section at the back of the body instead of in the ref-list in the back matter.
- Make
-
Mediawiki writer: allow highlighting to work for F# language (Adelar da Silva Queiróz).
-
LaTeX writer: Fix escaping of

- Fix localization of “Abstract” title (#8702).
- Allow
abstract-title
to be specified in docx metadata (#8794).
-
ChunkedHTML writer: Make math work in top-level page (#8915).
-
Text.Pandoc.Logging: add new log message type
ScriptingWarning
[API change] (Albert Krewinkel). -
Lua: report warnings from Lua scripts (Albert Krewinkel). Lua’s warning system is plugged into pandoc’s reporting architecture. Warnings that are raised with the Lua
warn
function are now reported together with other messages. -
Use crypton-connection instead of connection (#8896, Felix Yan). Follows the change introduced in tls 1.7.0.
-
Bump versions for skylighting-core, skylighting.
-
Include lua/module/sample.svg in cabal extra-source-files (Felix Yan).
-
Add Nynorsk (New Norwegian) translations (Per Christian Gaustad).

Add tests for
fillMediaBag
/extractMedia
. -
INSTALL.md:
- Mention alternatives to LaTeX to generate PDF (Norwid Behrnd).
- Update Linux install links (harabat).
-
pandoc-extras.md: add to “Academic publishing workflows” (#8696, Vladimir Alexiev).
pandoc 3.1.3 (2023-06-07)
-
New output format:
typst
. -
New module: Text.Pandoc.Readers.Typst [API change].
-
DocBook reader:
- Support more emphasis roles (Albert Krewinkel). The role “bf” is taken to indicate “bold face”, i.e., “strongly emphasized” text, while “underline” leads to underlined text.
-
JATS reader:
- Improve title and label parsing in the JATS reader (#8718, Noah Malmed.)
- Add rowspan, colspan and alignment to cells in jats table reader (#8408, Noah Malmed)
-
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel):
- Require abstract environment to use lowercase.
- Treat
#+NAME
as synonym for#+LABEL
(#8578).
-
ODT reader:
- Allow lists in table cells (#8892).
- Allow frames inside spans (#8886).
-
RST reader:
- Fix sorting on anonymous keys (#8877). This fixes a link resolution bug bug affecting RST documents with anonymous links.
-
HTML reader:
- Fix iframe with data URI of an image (#8856). In this case we don’t want to try to parse the data at the URL. Instead, create an image inside a div.
-
RTF reader:
- Fix bug in table parsing (#8767). In certain cases, text before a table was being incorporated into the table itself.
-
Docx reader:
- Introduce support for Intense Quote (Stephan Meijer).
-
Markdown reader:
- Disallow escaping of
~
and"
inmarkdown_strict
(#8777, Albert Krewinkel). This matches the behavior of the legacyMarkdown.pl
as well as what is described in the manual.
- Disallow escaping of
-
LaTeX reader: ignore args to column type in
\multicolumn
(#8789). -
HTML writer:
- Use first paragraph in task item as checkbox label (#8729, Albert Krewinkel).
-
Ms writer:
- Coerce titles to inlines (#8835). Block-level formatting is not
allowed inside
.TL
.
- Coerce titles to inlines (#8835). Block-level formatting is not
allowed inside
-
LaTeX writer:
- Fix width for multicolumn simple table (#8831).
-
Jira writer:
- Use first code block class as highlighting language (#8814, Albert Krewinkel). The writer no longer searches the list of classes for a known programming language but always uses the first class in that list as the language identifier.
-
OpenDocument writer:
- Handle row header column cells as header cells (#8764, Michael Stahl).
- Fix invalid
text:p
insidetext:p
from meta (#8256).
-
ODT writer:
- Don’t add settings.xml (Michael Stahl). This will cause defaults to be used, which is what we want.
- Don’t add unnecessary Configurations2 directory (Michael Stahl).
- Don’t add thumbnail (Michael Stahl).
- Put
manifest.version
on directory file-entry (Michael Stahl). See ODF 1.3 part 2, 4.16.14.1. - Stop validator complaints by producing ODF 1.3 (Michael Stahl).
-
MediaWiki writer:
- Remove links from inside links in mediawiki writer (#8739, Wout Gevaert).
-
Typst writer:
- Omit bibliography if
citations
not enabled (#8763). With this change, the typst writer will omit the#bibliography
command whencitations
is not enabled. (If you want to use pandoc’s own--citeproc
, you should combine it with-t typst-citations
to disable native typst citations. - Use
<..>
for labels, create internal links. - Use
#footnote
for notes (#8893). - Fix alignment issue in lists. It’s an aesthetic issue only; the first line had an extra space indent after the list marker.
- Omit bibliography if
-
Commonmark writer:
- Use shortcut reference links: commonmark supports these.
-
EPUB template: add
lang
attribute to<html>
(Gabriel Lewertoski). -

\babelfont
(#8728). -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing:
- Remove unnecessary ‘spaces’ in
parseFromString
.
- Remove unnecessary ‘spaces’ in

Text.Pandoc.ImageSize: Drop BOM at start of SVG if present. Otherwise our code can fail to determine image size.
-
Lua subsystem:
- Fix value of PANDOC_SCRIPT_FILE for custom readers & writers (#8781, Albert Krewinkel). The value did not hold the actual file path for scripts in the custom folder of the datadir.
-
Fix YAML in translation files for
cs
andpl
(#8787). -
Fix pdf output via typst (#8754). One must now use
typst compile
rather thantypst
. -
MANUAL.txt:
- Added note that the user will need to create the user data dir (#8727).
- Add
wikilinks
to non-default extensions (Ilona). - Update link to custom djot writer (Albert Krewinkel).

- Fix Windows install instructions for winget (#8799).
-
Tests: Rename test/docx/block_quotes_parse_indent.native for consistency (Stephan Meijer).
-
Add
tls
constraint on cabal.project. This is needed to avoid problems caused by the transition tocrypton
. -
Require texmath 0.12.8.
pandoc 3.1.2 (2023-03-26)
-
Add a Lua REPL (Albert Krewinkel). This can be started with
pandoc lua -i
. It is also possible to instruct a filter to open the REPL at a certain point, for debugging (seepandoc.cli.repl
). -
Support
typst
as a--pdf-engine
. -
Add typst writer (#8713). New module Text.Pandoc.Writers.Typst, exporting
writeTypst
[API change]. -
Org reader:
- Allow zero width space as an escape character (#8716, Christian Christiansen). Allow the character U+200B to be used as an escape character as described in the Org-mode documentation (https://orgmode.org/manual/Escape-Character.html).
-
DocBook reader:
- Handle “book” for xref references (#8712, Andres Freund) This also adds a test xref to book and part.
- Handle
<part>
(#8712).
-
HTML reader:
- Fix behavior with
-native_spans-raw_html
(#8711). Previously with this configuration,<span>
s were not treated as inline elements at all.
- Fix behavior with
-
HTML writer:
- Avoid duplicate classes (#8705).
- Use img element instead of embed for
.svg.gz
and.png.gz
etc. (#8699). - HTML writer footnotes changes (#8695): when
--reference-location=section
or=block
, use anaside
element for the notes rather than asection
. When--reference-location=section
, include theaside
element inside the section element, rather than outside. (In slide shows, this option causes footnotes on a slide to be displayed at the bottom of the slide.)
-
EPUB writer:
- Use different structure for epub footnotes (#8676, see #8672, #5583). Many EPUB readers are thrown off by pandoc’s current footnote output. Both the ol and the fact that the footnote backlink is at the end of the note seem to pose problems. With this commit, we now create a list of aside (or div) elements, instead of an ordered list. Each element begins with a note number that is linked back to the note reference. (So, the backlink occurs at the beginning rather than the end.) Thanks to @Porges and @lewer.
-
Docx writer:
- Include abstract title (#8702). Uses localized term for abstract.
-
Markdown writer:
- Use implicit figures if there’s a caption but no alt (#8689, Albert Krewinkel).
-
Jira reader (Albert Krewinkel):
- Add panel title as nested div (#8681).
- Require jira-wiki-markup 1.5.1 (#8680). This fixes a bug in the parser
that caused text between two exclamation marks to be parsed as an
image. The first
!
of image markup must now be followed by a non-space character; otherwise, the enclosed text is parsed as normal content.
-
Ms writer:
- Fix handling of Figure (#8660).
-
ICML writer:
- Fix images with data (#8675). The Contents element should be inside Properties.
-
LaTeX writer:
- Add Chinese to Babel languages.
- Fix background image in Beamer when there are figure environments (#8671, Martín Pozo).
-
LaTeX template:
- Add
babelfonts
variable to default LaTeX template. This allows specifying certain fonts to be used with certain babel languages. Thanks to Frederik Elwert. - Fix highlight/underline with lualatex (#8707). We need the lua-ul package instead of soul, which doesn’t work with lualatex.
- Add
-
Lua (Albert Krewinkel):
- Add
pandoc.cli.repl
function - Fix
json.encode
for nested AST elements. Ensures that objects with nested AST elements can be encoded as JSON. - Auto-generate docs for pandoc modules.
- Load text module as
pandoc.text
. This only affects the name in the Lua-internal documentation. It is still possible to load the modules viarequire 'text'
, although this is deprecated. - Move docs from module
text
topandoc.text
The latter is easier to use and more consistent with the other modules. - Keep the Lua stack clean A metatable used during initialization was not properly removed from the stack. Likewise, accessing the CommonState from Lua previously led to the pollution of the Lua stack with a left-over value.
- Add function
pandoc.format.from_path
.
- Allow to get the JSON encoding of log messages.
- Add
-
Text.Pandoc.Format: Add new function
formatFromFilePaths
[API change] (#8710, Albert Krewinkel). -
The old Text.Pandoc.App.FormatHeuristics module has been removed.
-
In
--version
, use Windows%APPDATA%
variable to describe user data dir (#8686, Pablo Rodríguez). -
Text.Pandoc.App.CommandLineOptions: don’t lowercase arg to
--from
/--read
(Albert Krewinkel). This prevented users to use custom writers with uppercase characters in their filenames. Format-normalization, including lower-casing of format identifiers, happens during format parsing. -
Documentation:
- Add
doc/nix.md
. - Add
doc/extras.md
. This was formally in the website repo. doc/lua-filters.md
: improve docs forpandoc.zip
.
- Add
-
Factor out
make_macos_release.sh
from the release candidate workflow. Use cabal instead of stack to build the macos binary. -
Modify linux/make_artifacts.sh so it will work on cirrus.
-
Switch to hslua-2.3
-
Depend on latest releases of texmath, doclayout.
pandoc 3.1.1 (2023-03-05)
-
EPUB reader: Give additional information in error if the epub zip container can’t be unpacked.
-
TSV reader: don’t gobble tabs as whitespace (#8661).
-
Org reader: accept empty tables (#8659).
-
LaTeX reader: fix multiplication syntax for tabular (#8658). We recognized
*{6}{...}
but not*6{...}
or*6c
. -
Docx reader: parse image alt texts in LibreOffice generated files. LibreOffice tags images slightly differently than Word; this change lets the parses take that difference into account when looking for an image description (alt text).
-
DocBook reader:
- Fix
<xref>
references to tables in DocBook files (#8626, Pavol Otto). - Parse
figure
as a Figure element in the AST (#8668).
- Fix
-
JATS reader: avoid generating duplicate figure captions (#8669).
-
RST reader: align with spec in syntax for role names (#8653). In particular, we now allow colons in row names.
-
Add note on converting from .doc format to FAQs (#8654).
-
Trap error in getAppUserDataDirectory (#8648). This can raise an error if pandoc is run in a non-user environment.
-
LaTeX writer: do not use longtable foot with Beamer (#8638, Albert Krewinkel). The table foot is made part of the table body, as otherwise it won’t show up in the output. The root cause for this is that longtable cannot detect page breaks in Beamer.
-
LaTeX template: Add CJKsansfont and CJKmonofont for XeLaTeX (#8656, Yudong Jin).
CJKsansfont
andCJKmonofont
will be set for xelatex only ifCJKmainfont
is also provided. -
URL style in ConTeXt (#8612, Thomas Hodgson). Previously, a URL like this would be in monospace text:
\useURL[url1][https://example.com]
. Now, it will match the main text unless thelinkstyle
variable is set, which controls the styling of all links. Closes #8602. -
Asciidoc writer: Properly escape
|
in table cells (#8665). -
asciidoc{,tor} template: fix revision date when author is unset (#8637, arcnmx). Revision line syntax is only valid in combination with an author line, so the date attribute must be set explicitly when the author is missing
-
HTML writer: allow “track” element to be treated as block-level HTML (#8629).
-
Include needed polyfill when MathJaX is used (#8625).
-
JATS writer: include alt-text in
<graphic>
,<inline-graphic>
elements (#8631, Albert Krewinkel). -
Chunked HTML writer: Retain metadata in processing sections for chunked HTML (#8620). Previously we suppressed metadata in all but the top page, in order to prevent the title block from being printed on every page. This prevented use of custom variables set by metadata fields. This commit moves to a better solution: a conditional in the default template restricts the title block to the top page.
-
Lua API:
- Add new function
pandoc.system.cputime
(Albert Krewinkel). The function returns the CPU time consumed by pandoc and can be used to benchmark Lua computations. - Add module
pandoc.json
to handle JSON encoding (#8605, Albert Krewinkel).
- Add new function
-
Use pandoc-lua-marshal 0.2.1 (Albert Krewinkel). All major AST elements now have
__tojson
metamethods that return the JSON representation of an element. This allows to JSON-encode these elements with libraries that respect the__tojson
metamethod, including dkjson. -
Use latest zip-archive. This allows pandoc to open certain epubs that it could not open before.
-
Use commonmark-extensions 0.2.3.4. This fixes some bugs involving definition lists and inline formatting.
-
Use latest skylighting-format-context
-
MANUAL.txt:
- Document chunk-template in defaults file.
- Remove obsolete “raw content in a style” section.
- Revise documentation for
--mathml
to reflect support in all major browsers (#8667).
-
docs/custom-readers.md: Update JSON parsing example. The example now uses the built-in
pandoc.json
library to parse the API output. -
doc/press.md: Add article on CiTO in J Cheminform by @egonw.
-
doc/lua-filters.md: fix typo in
run_json_filter
(Morgan Willcock).
pandoc 3.1 (2023-02-09)
-
Fix regression with
--print-highlight-style
option (#8586). -
Add new
--chunk-template
option (#8581), allowing more control over the filenames in chunked HTML output. -
Text.Pandoc.App: Add
optChunkTemplate
constructor to Opt [API change]. -
Text.Pandoc.Options: add
writerChunkTemplate
constructor toWriterOptions
[API change]. -
Text.Pandoc.Chunks: add Data, Typeable, Generic, ToJSON, FromJSON instances for
PathTemplate
[API change]. -
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc: Fix bug in
metaValueToReference
(#8611). This bug caused us to get some repeated content when converting MetaBlock to Inlines. -
Textile reader:
- Support footnote backlinks (#8585, Stephen Altamirano).
- Don’t allow brackets in URLs (#8582).
-
ODT reader: fix blockquote indent detection (#3437, Daniel Kessler).
-
LaTeX writer: include short figure/table caption if one is given (Albert Krewinkel). Short captions are used by LaTeX when generating the list of figures or list of tables. Adding a short caption will now overwrite the full caption in these lists.
-
Powerpoint writer: fix handling of simple figures (#8565, Albert Krewinkel). This ensures that simple figures are displayed in the same way as before the introduction of a dedicated
Figure
constructor in the AST. -
Improve handling of
%
in bib(la)tex parsing (#8597, #8595). -
Use released skylighting 0.13.2.1
-
INSTALL.md: direct people to cabal install pandoc-cli.
-
doc/lua-filters.md: document ‘Figure’ type and constructor (Albert Krewinkel). Fix typos (Martin Joerg).
-
Fix link in manual (#8583, Salim B).
pandoc 3.0.1 (2023-01-25)
-
Fix use of extensions with custom readers (#8571).
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared: export
setupTranslations
[API change]. Use this in HTML and OpenDocument writers, to ensure that translations are set up properly even when we don’t go throughconvertWithOpts
. -
LaTeX reader: fix regression in macro resolution for environments (#8573).
-
Chunked HTML writer: Fix handling of images with absolute URLs (#8567).
-
HTML writer:
- Don’t omit newlines in task lists.
- Don’t disable checkboxes in task lists (#8562).
-
Ensure that automatically set variables
pandoc-version
,outputfile
,title-prefix
,epub-cover-image
,curdir
,dzslides-core
can be overridden by--variable
on the command line. Previously they would create lists in the template Context, which is not desirable. -
Fix man page copying in
linux/make_artifacts.sh
(#8566). Previously we were copying the pandoc-server.1 pandoc page to pandoc-lua.1. -
pandoc.cabal: remove pandoc.cabal, stack.cabal from extra-source-files (#8560). The problem is that if these are in extra-source-files, then they get put in the tarball, and then anyone trying to build the source from an unpacked tarball will run into the problem that cabal.project and stack.yaml refer to pandoc-server, pandoc-lua-engine, and pandoc-cli, which aren’t in the tarball.
-
Require texmath 0.12.6 for better MathML output.
-
Fix typo in Lua filter documentation (Carlos Scheidegger).
-
Fix formatting of link in pandoc-server.md (James Scott-Brown).
-
Minor changelog fixups.
pandoc 3.0 (2023-01-18)
-
Split pandoc-server, pandoc-cli, and pandoc-lua-engine into separate packages (#8309). Note that installing the
pandoc
package from Hackage will no longer give you thepandoc
executable; for that you need to installpandoc-cli
. -
Pandoc now behaves like a Lua interpreter when called as
pandoc-lua
or whenpandoc lua
is used (#8311, Albert Krewinkel). The Lua API that is available in filters is automatically available to the interpreter. (See thepandoc-lua
man page.) -
Pandoc behaves like a server when called as
pandoc-server
or whenpandoc server
is used. (See thepandoc-server
man page.) -
A new command-line option
--list-tables
, causes tables to be formatted as list tables in RST (#4564, with Francesco Occhipinti). -
New command line option:
--epub-title-page=true|false
allows the EPUB title page to be omitted (#6097). -
--reference-doc
can now accept a URL argument (#8535) and load a remote reference doc. -
--version
output no longer contains version info for dependent packages. Instead, it contains a “Features” line that indicates whether the binary was compiled with support for acting as a server, and for using Lua filters and Custom writers. -
A new option
--split-level
replaces--epub-chapter-level
and affects both EPUB and chunked HTML output.--epub-chapter-level
will still work but is deprecated. -
Multiple input files with
--file-scope
: fix case where the links are URL-encoded, e.g. with%20
(#8467). -
Produce error if
--csl
is used more than once (#8195, Prat). -
Remove deprecated
--atx-headers
option. -
Remove deprecated option
--strip-empty-paragraphs
. -
In
--verbose
mode add message when running citeproc (as with other filters). -
Add new
mark
extension for highlighted text in Markdown, using==
delimiters (#7743). -
Add new extensions
wikilinks_title_after_pipe
andwikilinks_title_before_pipe
forcommonmark
andmarkdown
. (#2923, Albert Krewinkel). The former enables links of style[[Name of page|Title]]
and the latter[[Title|Name of page]]
. Titles are optional in both variants, so this works for both:[[https://example.org]]
,[[Name of page]]
. The writer is modified to render links with titlewikilink
as a wikilink if a respective extension is enabled. Pandoc will usewikilinks_title_after_pipe
if both extensions are enabled. -
Add prefixes to identifiers with
--file-scope
(#6384). This change only affects the case where--file-scope
is used and more than one file is specified on the command line. In this case, identifiers will be prefixed with a string derived from the file path, to disambiguate them. For example, an identifierfoo
incontents/file1.txt
will becomecontents__file1.txt__foo
. Links will be adjusted accordingly: iffile2.txt
links tofile1.txt#foo
, then the link will be changed to point to#file1.txt__foo
. Similarly, a link tofile1.txt
will point to#file1.txt
. A Div with an identifier derived from the file path will be added around each file’s content, so that links to files will still work. -
New output format:
chunkedhtml
. This creates a zip file containing multiple HTML files, one for each section, linked with “next,” “previous,” “up,” and “top” links. (If-o
is used with an argument without an extension, it is treated as a directory and the zip file is automatically extracted there, unless it already exists.) The top page will contain a table of contents if--toc
is used. Asitemap.json
file is also included. The option--split-level
determines the level at which sections are to be split. -
Support complex figures (Albert Krewinkel, Aner Lucero). There is now a dedicate Figure block constructor for figures. The old hack of representing a figure as
Para [Image attr [..alt..] (source, "fig:title")]
has been dropped. Here is a summary of figure support in different formats:- Markdown reader: paragraphs containing just an image are treated as
figures if the
implicit_figures
extension is enabled. The identifier is used as the figure’s identifier and the image description is also used as figure caption; all other attributes are treated as belonging to the image. - Markdown writer: figures are output as implicit figures if possible,
via HTML if the
raw_html
extension is enabled, and as Div elements otherwise. - HTML reader:
<figure>
elements are parsed as figures, with the caption taken from the respective<figcaption>
elements. - HTML writer: the alt text is no longer constructed from the caption,
as was the case with implicit figures. This reduces duplication, but
comes at the risk of images that are missing alt texts. Authors should
take care to provide alt texts for all images. Some readers, most
notably the Markdown reader with the
implicit_figures
extension, add a caption that’s identical to the image description. The writer checks for this and adds anaria-hidden
attribute to the<figcaption>
element in that case. - JATS reader: The
<fig>
and<caption>
elements are parsed into figure elements, even if the contents is more complex. - JATS writer: The
<fig>
and<caption>
elements are used write figures. - LaTeX reader: support for figures with non-image contents and for subfigures.
- LaTeX writer: complex figures, e.g. with non-image contents and
subfigures, are supported. The
subfigure
template variable is set if the document contains subfigures, triggering the conditional loading of the subcaption package. Contants of figures that contain tables are become unwrapped, as longtable environments are not allowed within figures. - DokuWiki, Haddock, Jira, Man, MediaWiki, Ms, Muse, PPTX, RTF, TEI, ZimWiki writers: Figures are rendered like Div elements.
- Asciidoc writer: The figure contents is unwrapped; each image in the the figure becomes a separate figure.
- Classic custom writers: Figures are passed to the global function
Figure(caption, contents, attr)
, wherecaption
andcontents
are strings andattr
is a table of key-value pairs. - ConTeXt writer: Figures are wrapped in a “placefigure” environment
with
\startplacefigure
/\endplacefigure
, adding the features caption and listing title as properties. Subfigures are place in a single row with the\startfloatcombination
environment. - DocBook writer: Uses
mediaobject
elements, unless the figure contains subfigures or tables, in which case the figure content is unwrapped.
- Docx writer: figures with multiple content blocks are rendered as
tables with style
FigureTable
; like before, single-image figures are still output as paragraphs with styleFigure
orCaptioned Figure
, depending on whether a caption is attached.
- DokuWiki writer: Caption and “alt-text” are no longer combined. The alt text of a figure will now be lost in the conversion.
- FB2 writer: The figure caption is added as alt text to the images in the figure; pre-existing alt texts are kept.
- ICML writer: Only single-image figures are supported. The contents of figures with additional elements gets unwrapped.
- OpenDocument writer: A separate paragraph is generated for each block
element in a figure, each with style
FigureWithCaption
. Behavior for single-image figures therefore remains unchanged. - Org writer: Only the first element in a figure is given a caption; additional block elements in the figure are appended without any caption being added.
- RST writer: Single-image figures are supported as before; the contents
of more complex images become nested in a container of type
float
. - Texinfo writer: Figures are rendered as float with type
figure
. - Textile writer: Figures are rendered with the help of HTML elements.
- XWiki: Figures are placed in a group.
- Markdown reader: paragraphs containing just an image are treated as
figures if the
-
Changes in custom readers/writers:
- It is now possible to have a custom reader and a custom writer for a format together in the same file. The file may also define a custom template for the writer.
- Pandoc now checks the folder
custom
in the user’s data directory for a matching script if it can’t find one in the local directory. Previously, thereaders
andwriters
data directories were searched for custom readers and writers, respectively. Scripts in those directories must be moved to thecustom
folder. - Custom readers used to implement a fallback behavior that allowed to
consume just a string value as input to the
Reader
function. This has been removed, the first argument is now always a list of sources. Usetostring
on that argument to get a string.
-
New module Text.Pandoc.Writers.ChunkedHTML, exporting
writeChunkedHtml
[API change]. -
We now set the
pandoc-version
variable centrally rather than in the writers. One effect is the man writer now emits a comment with the pandoc version. -
pandoc-server:
- Add simple CORS support to pandoc-server (#8427).
- Print message to stderr when starting the server.
-
Docx reader:
- Mark unnumbered headings with class
unnumbered
(#8148, Albert Krewinkel). This change ensures good conversion results when converting with--number-sections
. - Support parsing of highlighted text.
- Fix handling of
oMathPara
inw:p
with other content (#8483).
- Mark unnumbered headings with class
-
ODT reader:
- Fix relative links. ODT adds a
../
to relative links (see #3524); this needs to be removed when converting from ODT. - Handle “section” elements (#8409).
- Rename Text.Pandoc.Readers.Odt -> Text.Pandoc.Readers.ODT,
for consistency with Writers.ODT. Rename
readOdt
->readODT
. [API change]
- Fix relative links. ODT adds a
-
DocBook reader:
- Support href on link even in a fragment (#8437).
(We now just look for an
href
attribute without worrying about the namespace.) - Parse title from imageobject/objectinfo (#8437).
- Support href on link even in a fragment (#8437).
(We now just look for an
-
JATS reader:
- Handle uri element in references (#8270).
-
Ipynb reader:
- Add cell id to attachment filename when storing in MediaBag (#8415). Otherwise attachments with the same name can overwrite each other.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Skip parenthenized args of toprule, midrule, etc (#8242).
- Handle
##
macro arguments properly (#8243). - Remove unused function
toksToString
in Parsing module. - Support more
soul
commands, including\hl
. - Add
unnumbered
class for\part*
(#8447) - Fix
TEXINPUTS
handling (#8392). IfTEXINPUTS
ends with:
, then the system defaultTEXINPUTS
is added. We handle this by just adding the working directory in this case. - Parse short table caption (see jgm/pandoc-types#103). This is not too useful yet, because writers don’t do anything with the short caption.
-
MediaWiki reader:
- Parse table cell with attributess, to support rowspan, colspan (#8231, Ruqi).
- Refine “blending” rules for MediaWiki links (#8525, Ruqi). The rules for “blending” characters outside a link into the link are described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext#Blend_link These pose a problem for CJK languages, which generally don’t have spaces after links. However, it turns out that the blending behavior, as implemented on Wikipedia, is (contrary to the documentation) only for ASCII letters. This commit implements that restriction, which fixes the problem for CJK.
-
HTML reader:
- Fix regression for
<tt>
(#8330). It was no longer being parsed as Code (Justin Wood).
- Fix regression for
-
RST reader:
- Support
mark
role for round-trip.
- Support
-
Textile reader:
- Support linked images (#8541).
- Fix strong emph ending with link (#8540).
- Adding a Parser to look for ordered list start attribute numbers if any (#2465, vkraven).
- Handle empty paragraphs (#8487). Also, if attributes are added explicitly to a paragraph, put it in a Div with the attributes.
-
Markdown reader:
- Allow fenced code block “bare” language to be combined
with attributes (#8174, Siphalor), e.g.
```haskell {.class #id} ```
- Allow table caption labels to start with lowercase
t
(#8259). - Grid tables: allow specifying a table foot by enclosing it with
part separator lines, i.e., row separator lines consisting only
of
+
and=
characters (#8257, Albert Krewinkel). E.g.:+------+-------+ | Item | Price | +======+=======+ | Eggs | 5£ | +------+-------+ | Spam | 3£ | +======+=======+ | Sum | 8£ | +======+=======+
- Fix
implicit_header_references
with duplicate headings (#8300). Documentation says that when more than one heading has the same text, an implicit reference[Heading text][]
refers to the first one. Previously pandoc linked to the last one instead. This patch makes pandoc conform to the documented behavior. - Parse highlighted text inside
==..==
ifmark
extension enabled.
- Allow fenced code block “bare” language to be combined
with attributes (#8174, Siphalor), e.g.
-
Org reader:
- Allow org-ref v2 citations with
&
prefix (#8302). - Make
#+pandoc-emphasis-pre
work as expected (#8360, Amir Dekel).
- Allow org-ref v2 citations with
-
BibTeX reader:
- Fix handling of
%
inurl
field (#7678).%
does not function as a comment character insideurl
(where URL-encoding is common). - Allow
url
field inbibtex
as well asbiblatex
(#8287). This field is not officially supported for BibTeX, but many styles can handle it (https://www.bibtex.com/f/url-field/), and others will ignore it. - Support
software
type in biblatex <-> CSL conversions (#8504). - Make sure
version
field comes through in biblatex (#8504).
- Fix handling of
-
BibTeX writer:
- Pass through
url
even forbibtex
(#8287).
- Pass through
-
Org writer:
- Pass through unknown languages in code blocks (#8278), instead
of producing
begin_example
. - Use span attributes
tag-name
in headers as tags (#8513, Albert Krewinkel). This enables round-tripping of tags in Org headings.
- Pass through unknown languages in code blocks (#8278), instead
of producing
-
EndNote reader:
- Better error when parsing EndNote references fails.
-
DocBook writer:
- Rename Text.Pandoc.Writers.Docbook -> Text.Pandoc.Writers.DocBook.
Rename
writeDocbook
->writeDocBook
, for consistency with the DocBook reader’s naming. [API change] - Fix position of textobject (#8437). It is a child of
inlinemediaobject
, notimageobject
. - Add regression tests for #8437.
- Render image alt text using textobject element (#8437).
- Don’t indent contents of title element.
- Store “unnumbered” class in DocBook role attribute (#1402, lifeunleaded).
- Rename Text.Pandoc.Writers.Docbook -> Text.Pandoc.Writers.DocBook.
Rename
-
ConTeXt writer (Albert Krewinkel):
- Support syntax highlighting for code.
- Always use
\type
for inline code. Inline codes that contained curly braces where previously rendered with\mono
; this led to unexpected results when the presentation of\type
was customized, as those changes would not have been applied to code rendered with\mono
. - Add support for unlisted, unnumbered headings (#8486).
- Support
tagging
extension (Albert Krewinkel). Paragraphs are enclosed by\bpar
and\epar
commands, andhighlight
commands are used for emphasis. This results in much better tagging in PDF output.
-
LaTeX writer:
- Do not repeat caption on headless tables (Albert Krewinkel). The caption of headless tables was repeated on each page that contained part of the table. It is now made part of the “first head”, i.e. the table head that is printed only once.
- Add separator line between table’s body and its foot (Albert Krewinkel).
- Ignore languages with no babel equivalent, instead of generating an invalid command in the preamble (#8325).
- Use
\includesvg
for SVGs and include thesvg
package (#8334). - Use
soul
instead ofulem
for strikeout, underline (#8411). This handles things like hyphenation, line breaks, and nonbreaking spaces better. - Use
\toprule\noalign{}
instead of\toprule()
in tables, and similarly for\midrule
and\bottomrule
(#8223). This facilitates redefining\toprule
,\midrule
, and\bottomrule
without needing to gobble the ()s. (Those who redefine these macros on the assumption that they will be followed by()
may need to change their definitions.) - Support highlighted text for Span with class
mark
.
-
JATS writer:
- Use
<break/>
for LineBreak in the limited contexts that accept it (#8344). - Officially deprecate
writeJATS
in favor ofwriteJatsArchiving
.
- Use
-
RTF writer:
- Add space after unicode escape commands (#8264). This fixes a bug that caused characters to disappear after unicode escapes.
-
RST writer:
- Render tables as list tables when the
--list-tables
option is specified (writerListTables
) (#4564, Francesco Occhipinti). - Improve inline escaping rules (#8380).
- Use special
mark
role for Span with classmark
.
- Render tables as list tables when the
-
Commonmark writer:
- Ensure that we don’t have blank lines in raw HTML (#8307).
-
HTML writer:
- Only add role attribute in HTML5 (#8241). It is not valid in HTML4.
- Avoid aria-hidden in code blocks for HTML4 (#8241).
- Only treat
. . .
as a slide pause in slides, and not in regular HTML output (#8281). - Properly merge classes for headings of level > 6 (#8363).
- Prevent
<a>
inside<a>
(#7585). If a link text contains a link, we replace it with a span. - Replace deprecated aria roles for bibliography entries (#8354).
doc-biblioentry
->listitem
,doc-bibliography
->list
. - Remove obsolete stuff about mathml-script. This was a shim we used to include for mathml support. We don’t do anything with this any more, so this is dead code.
- Include math links if there are raw commands or environments that can be interpreted as math e.g. by MathJax (#8469).
- Add prooftree to list of math environments (#8462). This will cause
raw LaTeX prooftree environments to be rendered appropriately when
--mathjax
is used.
-
HTML, Markdown writers: filter out empty class attributes (#8251). These should not be generated by any pandoc readers, but they might be produced programatically.
-
Markdown writer:
- Avoid HTML fallbacks in the generated TOC (Albert Krewinkel, #8131). The generated table of contents usually has IDs for each TOC link, allowing to link back to specific parts of the TOC. However, this leads to unidiomatic markup in formats like gfm, which do not support attributes on links and hence fall back to HTML. The IDs on TOC items are now removed in that case, leading to more aesthetic TOCs.
- Escape
!
before[
(#8254). - Support
mark
extension.
-
AsciiDoc writer:
- In link text, only replace commas with entities when they’re in Str elements. If a link contains an image, it may have attributes, and the commas there should not be converted (see #8437, #8070).
-
ODT writer:
- Fix relative links (#3524).
-
Docx writer:
- Better handling of tables in lists (#5947). Previously the content of each list cell was indented when the table belonged to a list item.
- Indent tables in list items (#5947).
- Adjust correct attribute on
lang
element (#7022). For East Asian languages, we need to adjustw:eastAsia
rather thanw:val
. This allows normal fonts to be used for any Latin-font text. Similarly, for bidi languages, we need to adjustw:bidi
rather thanw:val
. We treathe
andar
as bidi languages,zh
,ja
,ko
as East Asian languages. - Support relative image widths (Albert Krewinkel). Image widths given in percent are interpreted to be relative to the text width. Previously, percent widths were taken relative to the image’s native size, inconsistently with other writers.
- Avoid using ‘error’ for unassigned table cells (#8468). Instead, throw a regular pandoc error.
- Render a Span with class
mark
as highlighted. Currently yellow is hardcoded.
-
MediaWiki writer:
- Use the ‘new’ table structure, so that colspan and rowspan are supported (Wout Gevaert).
-
Man writer:
- Use UTF-8 by default for non-ascii characters (#8507).
Only use groff escapes if
--ascii
has been specified on the command line (writerPreferAscii
).
- Use UTF-8 by default for non-ascii characters (#8507).
Only use groff escapes if
-
ICML writer:
- Use Contents element for images with raw data instead of a link with a data: uri (#8398).
-
EPUB writer:
- Refactor to use Text.Pandoc.Chunks.
- Refactored and simplified code.
- Make title page optional (#6097).
-
Ms writer:
- Properly format display equations (#8308).
- Remove -C option on PSPIC. Some old versions don’t support this option, and since it’s the default it shouldn’t be necessary.
-
XWiki writer:
- Use template if it is specified (#8296). Previously templates were ignored.
-
LaTeX template:
- Set fonts after Beamer theme (Jeremie Knuesel). Beamer themes such as metropolis and saintpetersburg change the default fonts. This change gives precedence to the user font settings by moving them after the loading of the Beamer theme.
- Set
\babelfont
whenmainlang
andlang
are specified andpdflatex
is not being used (#8538). This is needed for good results in Arabic. - Add variable
urlstyle
(#8429, Amar Al-Zubaidi). This is set tosame
by default, so users should not experience any change.
-
HTML template:
- Remove default font size, line height and font family in
default inline css (#8423).
mainfont
,fontsize
, andlinestretch
can still be used as before; the only difference is that we no longer provide opinionated defaults. This commit also adds amaxwidth
variable that setsmax-width
; if not set, 36em is used as a default. - Add
code { hyphens: manual; }
. - Use
styles.citations.html
partial instyles.html
. - Fix class name
hanging
->hanging-indent
instyles.citations.html
. - Put Consolas before Lucida Console for code font (#8543). This is to prevent Lucida Console from being used on Windows, where it causes spacing issues in some applications, with boldface glyphs wider than regular ones.
- Remove default font size, line height and font family in
default inline css (#8423).
-
EPUB CSS changes: Reduce the amount of inline CSS used for EPUBs (#8379). Almost everything is now in the default EPUB CSS (
data/epub.css
), which can be overridden either by puttingepub.css
in the user data directory or by using--css
on the command line. Inline styles are only used for syntax highlighting (which depends on the style specified, and is only included on pages with highlighted code) and for bibliography formatting (which can depend on the CSL style, and is only used in the page containing the bibliography).Note that, for compatibility with older readers, we don’t use flexbox to style
column/columns
divs by default, as we do in HTML. Instead, we use an older method which only works when there are twocolumn
divs inside acolumns
div. If you need more than two columns and aren’t worried about support for older EPUB readers, you can modify the default CSS (there is a comment in the CSS telling you what to do). -
Reveal.js template: prevent line-wrapping of parallax options (#8503, Albert Krewinkel).
-
reference.pptx: Remove unsupported element (#8342, #6338, Link Swanson). The default template contained text above the header, which can mislead users into thinking there is a way to put text there using pandoc.
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Metadata:
- Fix metadata parsing corner case (#8465).
- Don’t fail on inline metadata beginning with newline (#8358).
-
Text.Pandoc.App:
- Move initial input-to-Pandoc code to internal submodule (Albert Krewinkel).
- Change
parseOptionsFromArgs
andparseOptions
(#8406) They now returnEither OptInfo Opt
. [API change] - Add
OptInfo
type [API change]. - Add
handleOptInfo
function. This performs the IO actions for things like--version
that were previously done inparseOptionsFromArgs
[API change]. convertWithOpts
: add argument for aScriptingEngine
[API change].- Unify check for standalone output (Albert Krewinkel).
- New
optEpubTitlePage
field onOpt
[API change] (#6097). - Remove
optEpubChapterLevel
, addoptSplitLevel
[API change]. - Export
IpynbOutput(..)
[API change].
-
Text.Pandoc.App.OutputSettings:
- Remove unused field
outputWriterName
inOutputSettings
.
- Remove unused field
-
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc:
- Check both extension and mime type to determine bibliography type when the bibliography is fetched remotely (#7151).
- CslJson: allow an object with
items
property in addition to an array of references. This is what is returned by e.g.https://api.zotero.org/groups/904125/items?v=...&format=csljson
- Require a digit for an implicit “page” locator inside explicit
locator syntax
{...}
(#8288). Previously a locator specified as{}
would be rendered asp.
with nothing after it. - Update
sub verbo
tosub-verbo
(#8315). This is a change in the term’s canonical name in citeproc. As a result of this change,sub verbo
locators have not worked in pandoc since citeproc 0.7. - Text.Pandoc.Citeproc.MetaValue: remove unused function
metaValueToPath
. - Add internal module Text.Pandoc.Citeproc.Name (#8345). This exports
toName
, which previously had been part of T.P.Citeproc.BibTeX, and allows for cleaner module dependencies.
-
Export module
Text.Pandoc.Slides
[API Change] (Albert Krewinkel). -
Add new module Text.Pandoc.Format [API change] (Albert Krewinkel). The module provides functions and types for format spec parsing and processing. The function
parseFormatSpec
was moved from Text.Pandoc.Extensions to the new module and renamed toparseFlavoredFormat
. It now operates in a PandocMonad and is based on the updated types. -
Text.Pandoc.Sources:
- Add UpdateSourcePos instances for String and strict and lazy ByteString [API change].
-
Text.Pandoc.Extensions:
- Fix JSON decoding of Extensions (#8352, Albert Krewinkel).
- Add new exported function
readExtension
[API change]. - Remove
parseFormatSpec
[API change]. This has been moved to Text.Pandoc.Format and renamed asparseFlavoredFormat
(Albert Krewinkel). - Simpler implementation of Extensions based on Set (benchmarks show no performance penalty).
- Add
CustomExtension
constructor toExtension
[API change]. - Remove
Bounded
,Enum
instances forExtension
. - Add
extensionsToList
function. - Revise
readExtension
so it can handleCustomExtension
, and so that it returns a Text rather thanMaybe Text
. - Add
showExtension
[API change]. - Add
Ext_mark
extension [API change]. - Add
Ext_tagging
constructor [API change] (Albert Krewinkel). - Add
Ext_wikilinks_title_after_pipe
,Ext_wikilinks_title_before_pipe
[API change] (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF:
- Fix
papersize
on PDF generation via ms (#8403). We need to set an option in pdfroff in addition to including a macro in the ms file. With this fix,-Vpapersize=a4
should be sufficient to produce A4 PDF via ms. - Change default background color of PDFs generated via HTML (#8422, Marcin Serwin).
- Fix
-
Text.Pandoc.MIME:
- Base module on package
mime-types
, which is already a transitive dependency (#8277, Albert Krewinkel). - Remove deprecated overrides (#8292).
- Base module on package
-
Text.Pandoc.XML:
- Re-export
lookupEntity
from commonmark-hs [API change].
- Re-export
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing:
- Remove gratuitious renaming of Parsec types. We were exporting
Parser, ParserT as synonyms of Parsec, ParsecT.
There is no good reason for this and it can cause confusion.
Also, when possible, we replace imports of Text.Parsec with
Text.Pandoc.Parsing. The idea is to make it easier, at some point,
to switch to megaparsec or another parsing engine if we want to.
New (re-)exports:
Stream(..)
,updatePosString
,SourceName
,Parsec
,ParsecT
. Removed exports:Parser
,ParserT
[API change]. - Export
errorMessages
,messageString
[API change]. - Export
fromParsecError
, which can be used to turn a parsec ParseError into a regular PandocParseError (#8382) [API change]. - Remove
nested
[API change]. It was not being used, and in fact it was a bad idea from the beginning, as it had no hope of solving the problem it was introduced to solve. - Change
characterReference
,charsInBalanced
.characterReference
so they now return a Text (some named references don’t correspond to a single Char). Use the thelookupEntity
function from commonmark-hs instead of the slow one from tagsoup [API change]. charsInBalanced
now takes a Text parser rather than a Char parser as argument [API change].
- Remove gratuitious renaming of Parsec types. We were exporting
Parser, ParserT as synonyms of Parsec, ParsecT.
There is no good reason for this and it can cause confusion.
Also, when possible, we replace imports of Text.Parsec with
Text.Pandoc.Parsing. The idea is to make it easier, at some point,
to switch to megaparsec or another parsing engine if we want to.
New (re-)exports:
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared:
- Export
textToIdentifier
[API change]. - Remove deprecated
crFilter

deLink
. [API change] - Deprecate
notElemText
. - Deprecate

pandocVersion
(now available in Text.Pandoc.Version aspandocVersionText
). - Remove
findM
[API change]. This was only used in one place, and can be replaced with simpler code. - Remove deprecated
makeMeta
[API change]. - Remove
ordNub
[API change]. This is justnubOrd
from Data.Containers.ListUtils. - Remove
mapLeft
[API change]. This is just a synonym for Bifunctor.first. - Remove
elemText
,notElemText
[API change]. - Drop export of
pandocVersion
andpandocVersionText
, which are now exported by Text.Pandoc.Version. - Remove
escapeURI
,isURI
. These are now exported by Text.Pandoc.URI, and removing them from Shared helps make the module structure more straightforward. - Use LineBreak as default block sep in
blocksToInlines
. (#8499, Albert Krewinkel). This change also affects thepandoc.utils.blocks_to_inlines
Lua function. defaultUserDataDir
is no longer exported (it has been moved to T.P.Data) [API change].- New function
figureDiv
, offering offers a standardized way to convert a figure into a Div element (Albert Krewinkel) [API change].
- Export
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared:
- Export
htmlAddStyle
,htmlAlignmentToString
andhtmlAttrs
[API change] (Wout Gevaert). - Use ‘literal tag’ instead of ‘text (T.unpack tag)’ in
tagWithAttrs
(Wout Gevaert). toTableOfContents
: handle nested Divs better (#8402).
- Export
-
Rename Text.Pandoc.Network.HTTP -> Text.Pandoc.URI. This is still an unexported internal module. Export
urlEncode
,escapeURI
,isURI
,schemes
,uriPathToPath
. Drop exports ofschemes
anduriPathToPath
. -
Text.Pandoc.URI
isURI
: don’t require non-ASCII characters to be escaped (#8508). -
Rename Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX.Types -> Text.Pandoc.TeX (internal module).
-
Text.Pandoc.Options:
- WriterOptions now has a field
writerListTables
, specifying that list tables be used in RST output [API change]. - New
writerEpubTitlePage
field onWriterOptions
(#6097) [API change]. - Remove
writerEpubChapterLevel
, addwriterSplitLevel
[API change].
- WriterOptions now has a field
-
Text.Pandoc.Filter:
- Export

[API change]. - Export
applyJSONFilter
[API Change] (Albert Krewinkel). - Parameterize
applyFilters
over scripting engine [API change] (Albert Krewinkel).
- Export
-
New exported module Text.Pandoc.Chunks [API change]. This module provides functions to split Pandoc documents into chunks to be rendered in separate files, e.g. one per section. Internal identifiers are rewritten appropriately to point to the new locations (#6122).
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers:
- Change argument type of
getReader
, so it takes aFlavoredFormat
instead of aText
[API change] (Albert Krewinkel).
- Change argument type of
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers:
- Change argument type of
getWriter
, so it takes aFlavoredFormat
instead of aText
[API change] (Albert Krewinkel).
- Change argument type of
-
Text.Pandoc.Templates:
- Do not try to normalize input to
getDefaultTemplate
(Albert Krewinkel). The functiongetDefaultTemplate
no longer splits off extension modifers from the given format, as that conflicts with using custom writers as formats. Haskell library users should usegetDefaultTemplate <=< (fmap formatName . parseFlavoredFormat)
if the input format can still contain extensions. The same is true forcompileDefaultTemplate
, which callsgetDefaultTemplate
internally - Add Wrapper type documentation (#8490, William Rusnack).
- Do not try to normalize input to
-
New exported module Text.Pandoc.Scripting (Albert Krewinkel). The module contains the central data structure for scripting engines (e.g., Lua) [API change].
-
Text.Pandoc.Error:
- Add new PandocError constructor
PandocNoScriptingEngine
[API change] (Albert Krewinkel). - Add new PandocError constructor
PandocFormatError
[API change] (Albert Krewinkel). The new error is used to report problems with input or output format specifications. - Add new PandocError constructor
PandocNoTemplateError
(Albert Krewinkel). - Remove
PandocParsecError
constructor fromPandocError
(#8385). Henceforth we just usePandocParseError
.
- Add new PandocError constructor
-
New module Text.Pandoc.Version, exporting
pandocVersionText
andpandocVersion
[API change].pandocVersion
returns aVersion
instead of aText
, which is consistent withpandocTypesVersion
. -
Text.Pandoc.Class:
- Make
getPOSIXTime
,getZonedTime
sensitive toSOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
environment variable if set (#7093). (getTimestamp
was already sensitive.) This ensures that EPUB builds are reproducible. - Text.Pandoc.Class no longer exports
readDataFile
,readDefaultDataFile
,setTranslations
, andtranslateTerm
[API change]. - Text.Pandoc.Class now exports
checkUserDataDir
[API change].
- Make
-
T.P.Class.IO: export function
writeMedia
[API change] (Albert Krewinkel). This is useful for thepandoc.mediabag
module. -
Separate out Text.Pandoc.Data and Text.Pandoc.Translations from Text.Pandoc.Class (#8348). This makes Text.Pandoc.Class more self-contained.
- Text.Pandoc.Data is now an exported module, providing
readDataFile
andreadDefaultDataFile
(both formerly provided by Text.Pandoc.Class), and alsogetDataFileNames
(formerly unexported in Text.Pandoc.App.CommandLineOptions) anddefaultUSerDataDir
(formerly provided by Text.Pandoc.Shared). [API change] - Text.Pandoc.Translations is now an exported module (along with
Text.Pandoc.Translations.Types), providing
readTranslations
,getTranslations
,setTranslations
,translateTerm
,lookupTerm
,readTranslations
,Term(..)
, andTranslations
[API change].
- Text.Pandoc.Data is now an exported module, providing
-
Text.Pandoc now exports Text.Pandoc.Data and
setTranslations
andtranslateTerm
{API change]. -
Export module Text.Pandoc.Class.IO [API change]. The module is useful when defining instances of class PandocMonad for types that are also instances of MonadIO.
-
Remove modules Text.Pandoc.Writers.Custom and Text.Pandoc.Readers.Custom [API Change] (Albert Krewinkel). The functions
writeCustom
andreadCustom
are available from module Text.Pandoc.Lua. -
Text.Pandoc.Server:
- Split this module into a separate package,
pandoc-server
, allowing thepandoc
library to be compiled without server support. - Return object if JSON is accepted. Previously we just returned
a JSON-encoded string. Now we return something like:
This is a change in the pandoc-server JSON API.{ "output": "<p>hello</p>" "base64": false, "messages": [ { "message": "Not rendering RawInline (Format \"tex\") \"\\\\noe\"", "verbosity": "INFO" } ], }
- Set translations in the writer based on
lang
metadata. - Return error in JSON object if response is JSON.
- Remove
parseServerOpts
. [API change]
- Split this module into a separate package,
-
Text.Pandoc.Lua:
- This module has been moved to a separate package,
pandoc-lua-engine
. - Export
applyFilter
,readCustom
, andwriteCustom
. No longer export the lower-level functionrunFilterFile
[API change]. - Change type of
applyFilter
[API Change] (Albert Krewinkel). The module Text.Pandoc.Filter.Lua has been merged into Text.Pandoc.Lua. The functionapplyFilter
now has type
whereapplyFilter :: (PandocMonad m, MonadIO m) => Environment-> [String]-> FilePath-> Pandoc-> m Pandoc
Environment
is defined in Text.Pandoc.Filter.Environment. - Export new function
getEngine
[API Change]. The function returns the Lua scripting engine. - Add unexported modules T.P.Lua.Reader, T.P.Lua.Writer.
These contain the definitions of
readCustom
andwriteCustom
that were previously in T.P.Readers.Custom and T.P.Writers.Custom. - Cleanup module dependencies, for a cleaner module dependency graph.
- The
writeCustom
function has changed to return a Writer and an ExtensionsConfig [API change]. This allows ByteString writers to be defined. - The
readCustom
function has changed to return a Reader and an ExtensionsConfig [API change].
- This module has been moved to a separate package,
-
Lua subsystem (Albert Krewinkel):
- The whole Lua subsystem has been moved to a separate package,
pandoc-lua-engine
.pandoc
does not depend on it.convertWithOpts
has a new parameter that can be used to pass in the scripting engine defined inpandoc-lua-engine
(or a different one, in theory). - Fix the behavior of Lua “Version” objects under equality comparisons (#8267).
- Support running Lua with a GC-collected Lua state.
- Ensure that extensions marshaling is consistent.
- Produce more informative error messages for pandoc errors. Errors are reported in Lua in the same words in which they would be reported in the terminal.
- Add new module
pandoc.format
. The module provides functions to query the set of extensions supported by formats and the set of extension enabled per default. - Add function
pandoc.template.apply
. - Add function
pandoc.template.meta_to_context
. The functions converts Meta values to template contexts; the intended use is in combination withpandoc.template.apply
. - Allow Doc values in
WriterOptions.variables
. The specialized peeker and pusher function forContext Text
values does not go via JSON, and thus keeps Doc values unchanged during round-tripping. - Fix rendering of Lua errors in Lua, so that the
Error running Lua
message is not prepended multiple times. - Add new module
pandoc.zip
. - Allow strings in place of compiled templates (#8321).
This allows to use a string as parameter to
pandoc.template.apply
and in the WriterOptionstemplate
field. - Rename
reader_extensions
/writer_extensions
globals asExtensions
(#8390). - Add
pandoc.scaffolding.Writer
(#8377). This can be used to reduce boilerplate in custom writers. - Fix peeker for PandocError (Albert Krewinkel). String error messages were incorrectly popped of the stack when retrieving a PandocError.
- Add functions
pandoc.text.toencoding
,pandoc.text.fromencoding
(#8512, Albert Krewinkel). - Add
pandoc.cli
module. Allow processing of CLI options in Lua. - Support
-D
CLI option for custom writers. A new errorPandocNoTemplateError
(code 87) is thrown if a template is required but cannot be found. - Allow table structure as format spec. This allows to pass structured
values as format specifiers to
pandoc.write
andpandoc.read
. - Add function
pandoc.mediabag.write
(Albert Krewinkel). - Add module
pandoc.structure
(Albert Krewinkel). The functionmake_sections
has been given a friendlier interface and moved to the new module; the oldpandoc.utils.make_sections
has been deprecated.
- The whole Lua subsystem has been moved to a separate package,
-
Custom writers:
- The global variables
PANDOC_DOCUMENT
andPANDOC_WRITER_OPTIONS
are no longer set when the writer script is loaded. Both variables are still set in classic writers before the conversion is started, so they can be used when they are wrapped in functions. - Deprecate classic custom writers.
- Add function
pandoc.write_classic
. The function can be used to convert a classic writer into a new-style writer by setting it as the value ofWriter
:
or to fully restore the old behavior:Writer = pandoc.write_classic
function Writer (doc, opts) PANDOC_DOCUMENT = doc PANDOC_WRITER_OPTIONS = opts load(PANDOC_SCRIPT_FILE)() return pandoc.write_classic(doc, opts) end
- Support extensions in custom writers. Custom writers can define the
extensions that they support via the global
writer_extensions
. The variable’s value must be a table with all supported extensions as keys, and their default status as values. For example, the below specifies that the writer supports the extensionssmart
andsourcepos
, but only thesmart
extension is enabled by default:writer_extensions = { smart = true, sourcepos = false, }
- Custom writers can define a default template via a global
Template
function; the data directory is no longer searched for a default template. Writer authors can restore the old lookup behavior withTemplate = function () local template return template.compile(template.default(PANDOC_SCRIPT_FILE)) end
- The global variables
-
Custom readers:
- Support extensions in custom readers.
Custom readers, like writers, can define the set of supported
extensions by setting a global. E.g.:
reader_extensions = { smart = true, citations = false, }
- Support extensions in custom readers.
Custom readers, like writers, can define the set of supported
extensions by setting a global. E.g.:
-
Use latest versions of
commonmark-extensions
,texmath
,citeproc
,gridtables
, andskylighting
. -
Use pandoc-types 1.23. This adds the
Figure
Block constructor and removes theNull
Block constructor. -
Require aeson >= 2.0.
-
Use jira-wiki-markup 1.5.0 (#8511, Albert Krewinkel). Fixes issues with icon-like sequences at the beginning of words.

runTest
. -
Add pandoc-lua.1 man page.
-
Improve
shell.nix
. -
Add
tools/moduledeps.lua
for inspecting the internal module dependency tree. -
Fix macOS zip so pandoc-server is a symlink. This cuts its size by 2x.
-
CI: Improve CI speed by caching more, eliminating macos builds, and splitting benchmarks into a separate action, run by manual dispatch. (We still test that benchmarks build in the regular CI.) The cache can be expired manually by modifying the secret
CACHE_VERSION
. -
Remove the unnecessary Setup.hs from pandoc. Cabal does not need this with build-type ‘simple’.
-
Add pandoc-lua and pandoc-server (symlinks) and their man pages to releases.
-
Use hslua-cli package for pandoc-lua interface (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Add
server
flag to pandoc-cli, allowing it to be compiled without server support. -
pandoc-cli: Allow building a binary without Lua support (Albert Krewinkel). Disabling the
lua
cabal flag will result in a binary without Lua. -
Move
--version

Move
nightly
flag from pandoc to pandoc-cli (#8339). -
Makefile changes:
make help
will now print all the targets and what they do.- Add targets:
coverage
,weeder

Move trypandoc to a separate repository, jgm/trypandoc.
pandoc 2.19.2 (2022-08-22)
-
Fix regression with data uris in 2.19.1 (#8239). In 2.19.1 we used the base64URL encoding rather than base64.
-
pandoc-server: handle
citeproc
parameter as documented (#8235). -
Org reader: treat emacs-jupyter src blocks as code cells (#8236, Albert Krewinkel). This improves support for notebook-like org files that are intended to be used with emacs-jupyter package.
-
HTML writer and templates: revert to using
width
property for column widths (Albert Krewinkel). The defaultflex
andoverflow-x
properties of a column are set toauto
. In combination, these changes allow to get good results when using columns with or without explicit widths. -
Org writer (Albert Krewinkel):
- Add support for jupyter nodebook cells (#6367).
- Prefix code language of ipynb code blocks with
jupyter-
. This is the convention used by the emacs-jupyter package. - Keep code block attributes as header args. This allows to keep more
information in the resulting
src
blocks, making it easier to roundtrip from or through Org. Org babel ignores unknown header arguments. - Add code block identifier as
#+name
to src blocks.
-
Fix some typos in the codebase (luz paz).
-
Require hslua-module-path 1.0.3 (#8228, Albert Krewinkel).
pandoc 2.19.1 (2022-08-18)
-
Add server capabilities.
- New exported module Text.Pandoc.Server [API change].
- The pandoc executable now starts up a web server when renamed or
symlinked as
pandoc-server
, and functions as a CGI program when renamed or symlinked aspandoc-server.cgi
. See the man page forpandoc-server
for full documentation.
-
Text.Pandoc.App.Opts: Redo
FromJSON
forOpt
so that optional values can be omitted (in which case the values fromdefaultOptions
are used). -
Org reader: treat “abstract” block as metadata (Albert Krewinkel, #8204). A block of type “abstract” is assumed to define the document’s abstract. It is transferred from the main text to the metadata.
-
Org template: add abstract from metadata as block of type “abstract” (#8204).
-
HTML writer: use
flex
property for column widths (Albert Krewinkel, #8232). -
LaTeX writer:
- Add label to tables that have an identifier (Albert Krewinkel, #8219).
Tables with an identifier are marked with a
\label
. A caption is always included in this case, even if the caption is empty. - Use
\textquotesingle
for straight quotes in text. - Fix widths of multicolumn cells (#8218).
- Add label to tables that have an identifier (Albert Krewinkel, #8219).
Tables with an identifier are marked with a
-
LaTeX template: fix behavior of
colorlinks
variable (Albert Krewinkel, #8226). Fixes a regression in 2.19 that required theboxlinks
variable to be set in addition to the usual link coloring variables. Otherwise links were never colored in LaTeX PDF output. -
Text.Pandoc.Highlighting: Export
lookupHighlightingStyle
[API change]. Previously this lived in an unexported module Text.Pandoc.App.CommandLineOptions, under the namelookupHighlightStyle
. -
Text.Pandoc.App:
- Remove unneeded MonadIO constraints in readSources.
- Factor out
convertWithOpts'
fromconvertWithOpts
. This runs in any PandocMonad, MonadIO, MonadMask instance. So far it is not exported, but it might find a use later.
-
Support

Lua: add function
pandoc.utils.citeproc
(Albert Krewinkel). The function runs the citeproc processor on a Pandoc document. Exposing this functionality to Lua allows to make citation processing part of a filter or writer, simplifies the creation of multiple bibliographies, and enables the use of varying citation styles in different parts of a document. -
Refactor
linux/make_artifacts.sh
. -
Update INSTALL.md installation from source instructions.
-
Use base64 package instead of base64-bytestring. It is supposed to be faster and more standards-compliant.
-
trypandoc improvements:
- Add dropdown with canned examples.
- Add citeproc support.
- Support csv, bibliographic and binary formats.
- Add load from file.
- Add permalink. Don’t always reload page.
- Use vanilla JS and CSS + the new
pandoc-server.cgi
.
-
Allow haddock-library-1.11.0.
-
Convert
tool/extract-changes.hs
to a Lua filter.
pandoc 2.19 (2022-08-03)
-
Add
--embed-resources
flag (Elliot Bobrow, #7331). This can be used to embed resources without implying--standalone
. Deprecate--self-contained
in favor of--embed-resources --standalone
. -
Allow environment variable interpolation in
highlight-style
andpdf-engine
fields in defaults files (#8061; Jaehwang Jung, #8073). -
Allow placing custom readers and writers in user data directory (Albert Krewinkel, #8112) (
readers
andwriters
subdirectories). -
Add
tsv
(tab separated values) as an input format (#7974). [API change]: Text.Pandoc.Readers.CSV now exportsreadTSV
. Internal change: In Text.Pandoc.CSV,CSVOptions
has changed so thatcsvQuote
takes a Maybe value. -
Add
tex_math_dollars
togfm
default extensions (reflecting gfm’s new support for math). -
RST, Org, Markdown readers: support rowspans and colspans in grid tables (#8202, Albert Krewinkel). Note: the writers does not yet support these more complex grid table features, so these complex grid tables will not round-trip.
-
HTML, LaTeX, and MediaWiki readers: use
formatCode
(#8162, #8129, Elliot Bobrow). This moves formatting from inside inline code elements to the outside, since pandoc’s Code element only takes string content. -
Markdown reader:
- Don’t parse inline notes with blank lines inside (#8028).
- Allow attributes in special spans (e.g.
smallcaps
,underline
) (Albert krewinkel, #4102). These spans are parsed as SmallCaps or Underline elements, but any attributes are included in a wrapping Span.
-
HTML reader:
- Allow sublists that are not marked as items (Albert Krewinkel, #8150). This is technically invalid HTML, but it can be found in the wild and browsers handle it.
-
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel):
- Recognize absolute paths on Windows (Albert Krewinkel, #8201).
- Recognize {webp,jxl} files as images (YI).
- Allow attrs for Org tables (Albert Krewinkel, #8049). Tables with attributes are no longer wrapped in Div elements; attributes are added directly to the table element.
- Support line selection in INCLUDE directives (Brian Leung, #8060).
- Fix Post / Pre mixup when setting emphasis chars (Amir Dekel, #8134).
-
LaTeX reader:
- Support
\includesvg
(#8027). - Unescape characters in
\lstinline
inside\passthrough
(#8179). - Improve
mathEnvWith
(#8122). When converting e.g. an align environment to an aligned environment inside a Math element, we need to include a newline before the\end{aligned}
, since the previous line might end in a comment. - Fix treatment of extensions for
\input
in LaTeX reader (#8092). Previously we required a.tex
extension, but TeX allows any extension for\input
(as opposed to\include
).
- Support

RTF reader:
- support
\nosupersub

. - Get right order of names (#8055).
- Make parser more forgiving (#8034). Allow blank lines after entries.
Allow entries with no space after the

MediaWiki reader:
- Allow HTML comment after row start (#8110).
-
DokuWiki reader:
- The
tex_math_dollars
extension is now supported fordokuwiki
(but off by default) (#8178). - Content inside
<latex>...</latex>
is parsed as raw LaTeX inline, and inside<LATEX>..</LATEX>
as raw LaTeX block (#8178). - The behavior of
<php>...</php>
is changed, so that instead of producing a code block, it produces raw HTML with<?php ... ?>
.
- The
-
LaTeX writer:
- Improve grouping with autocites (#8088).
- Extend list of book documentclasses (Wentau Han, #8053).
- Fix width of multicolumn cells (Albert Krewinkel, #8090). Cells spanning multiple columns must be given an explicit width, calculated from the table properties.
- Beamer: allow containsverbatim as alternative to fragile (#8080).
-
HTML writer:
- Add ‘footnotes’ identifier to footnotes section (#8043).
- Fix bug with
--number-offset
. This formerly caused section divs to be produced, even when--section-divs
was not specified (#8097). - Use CSS flexboxes for columns (Albert Krewinkel). This allows an arbitrary number of columns, while the previous approach assumed exactly two columns.
- Allow “spanlike” classes to be combined (see #8194). Previously
classes like “underline” and “marked” had to be the first class
in a span in order for the span to be interpreted as a “ul” or
“mark” element. This commit allows these special classes to be
“stacked,” e.g.
[test]{.mark .underline}
; in addition, the special classes are no longer required to come first in the list of classes. - Avoid doubled style attribute when height and width are added to style because of an image, but the image already has a style attribute (#8047).
- Do not include the deprecated doc-endnote role (#8030). doc-endnote was deprecated in DPUB-ARIA 1.1.
- Remove extra soft break for tasklist (black-desk, #8142). Browser will display the extra newline character between checkbox and text as a space, which make tasklist items cannot be aligned.
-
EPUB writer:
- Allow choice of math method for v3 (#8164). Previously we always
used MathML for math in EPUB3, because the spec includes MathML.
But this is not widely supported by readers, so it seems better
to allow users to choose their math method as they can with
EPUB2 or HTML. NOTE: Existing workflows that produce EPUBv3
documents including math will be affected by this change. You
must add
--mathml
to your command line if you want to continue producing MathML.

RST writer:
- Fix missing spaces with nested inlines (#8182).
- Always escape literal backslash (#8178).
-
Ms writer:
- Add comment in preamble stating generator.
- Fix roff ms syntax highlighting definitions (#8175, thanks to Branden Robinson).
-
ConTeXt writer:
-
Support complex table structures (Albert Krewinkel, #8116). The following table feature are now supported in ConTeXt:
- colspans,
- rowspans,
- multiple bodies,
- row headers, and
- multi-row table head and foot.
The wrapping
placetable
environment is also given areference
option with the table identifier, enabling referencing of the table from within the document. -
Unify link handling (Albert Krewinkel, #8096). Autolinks, i.e. links with content that’s the same as the linked URL, are now marked with the
\url
command. All other links, both internal and external, are created with the\goto
command, leading to shorter, slightly more idiomatic code. As before, autolinks can still be styled via\setupurl
, other links via\setupinteraction
. -
Use “sectionlevel” environment for headings (Albert Krewinkel, #5539). The document hierarchy is now conveyed using the
\startsectionlevel
/\stopsectionlevel
by default. This makes it easy to include pandoc-generated snippets in documents at arbitrary levels. The more semantic environments “chapter”, “section”, “subsection”, etc. are used if the--top-level-division
command line parameter is set to a non-default value.
-
-
Docx writer:
- Add
w:lang
torPr
for Span and Div with lang attribute, so that Word can know that “Apfel” is not a spelling error (#8026). - Prevent crashing when handling invalid tables (Albert Krewinkel, #8102). Tables with different numbers of cells per row would sometimes crash pandoc. This fix prevents this by cutting off overlong rows.
- Add
-
ICML writer:
- Support custom-style attribute on Table (#8079).
-
AsciiDoc writer:
- Fix commas in link text (#8070). Commas in link text trigger interpretation of attributes. To block this, we replace them with numeric entities.
- Fix underline. We were rendering it as
+++text+++
; this is now changed to[.underline]#text#
. See comment at https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/8070#issuecomment-1126883824.
-
FB2 writer:
- Fix handling of non-section Divs (#8123).
-
Markdown writer:
- Disable soft wrapping when
hard_line_breaks
enabled (#8035). We were already doing this formarkdown
; this commit does the same thing formarkua
andcommonmark
andgfm
. - Avoid excessive indentation on bullet lists for
commonmark
,markua
,gfm
. They are now nested by 2 spaces instead of 4 (#8011).
- Disable soft wrapping when
-
Text.Pandoc.Class:
- Add new function
findFileWithDataFallback
[API Change] (Albert Krewinkel). fillMediaBag
: Keep attributes of original image on Span (Albert Krewinkel, #8099). Images that cannot be fetched are replaced with a Span that contains the image’s description. The span now also retains all original image attributes and inherits all attributes of the image. Furthermore, the classesimage
andplaceholder
are added, and path and title are store in attributesoriginal-image-src
andoriginal-image-title
, respectively.
- Add new function
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared:
makeSections
: don’t make a section for a div with class “fragments” (#8098).- Ensure that Nulls are ignored by
makeSection
and in segmenting slides (#8155). - Add
formatCode
function to Text.Pandoc.Shared [API change] (Elliot Bobrow, #8129). taskListItemToAscii
: handle asciidoctor’s characters (#8011). Asciidoctor uses different unicode characters for task lists; we should recognize them too and be able to convert them to ascii task lists in formats like gfm.- Deprecate
deLink
and mark for later removal.
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared:
toTableOfContents
: Don’t replace links with empty spans in TOC (#8020).
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Metadata:
- Ensure that metadata values w/o trailing newlines are
parsed as inlines, as the manual states.
Previously, they were parsed as inlines if they would
otherwise have been a single Plain or Para, but otherwise
left unchanged. This led to some quirky results (e.g. #8143).
We now use the general function
blocksToInlines
from T.P.Shared.

Text.Pandoc.Parsing:
- Simplify
gridTableWith'
,gridTableWith
[API Change] (Albert Krewinkel). The functionsgridTableWith
andgridTableWith'
no longer takes a boolean argument that toggles whether a table head should be parsed: both, tables with heads and without heads, are always accepted now.
- Simplify
-
Lua subsystem (Albert Krewinkel):
- Extend
pandoc.system
module (Albert Krewinkel, #8184). The module now has the additional functionslist_directory
,make_directory
, andremove_directory
. This makes it easier to write cross-platform scripts that need to inspect or modify the file system. - Require pandoc-lua-marshal 0.1.7. Adds a
clone
methods to Pandoc objects and allows to pass Blocks in instead of full Caption elements. - Add fields
pandoc.readers
andpandoc.writers
(#8177). The set of supported input and output formats is made available to Lua users. - Ensure that tables marshaled via JSON arrays behave like Lists.
This allows to invoke methods like
map
andincludes
on lists likePANDOC_WRITER_OPTIONS.extensions
. - Require hslua-2.2.1, unless lua53 flag is set, and do not reset foreign encoding before running Lua. This fixes a problem where the encoding used for Lua filenames would sometimes mismatch the encoding used by the OS.
- Simplify module loading code. Modules are now loaded directly; the special pandoc Lua package searcher is no longer necessary and has been removed.
- Add function pandoc.mediabag.fill (#8104). The function allows to fill the mediabag with all images in a given document. Images that cannot be fetched are replaced with a Span containing the image description.
- Extend
-
Populate mediabag after filters have run (Albert Krewinkel, #8099). The mediabag is filled with document resources after the filters have run. This allows, for example, filter authors to modify image paths before pandoc tries to fetch the images. Lua filters that rely on a filled mediabag can use the new
pandoc.mediabag.fill
function to perform that action in the filter. -
Ms template: redefine rather than removing .CH macro (#8175).
-
JATS template (Albert Krewinkel, except as noted):
- Include particles, prefix, suffix in names.
- Mark authors with cor-id as corresponding authors.
Corresponding authors are marked by setting the attribute
corresp="yes"
in their respective<contrib>
element. - Unconditionally include permissions element (#8040). Fixes a bug that caused license information to be omitted when no copyright information was provided.
- Follow JATS4R recommendation and PudMed Central for license URI (Castedo Ellerman, #8041).
-
LaTeX template:
- Rename
\textormath
to\TextOrMath
(Hos Es, #8036). - Fix links-as-notes (Albert Krewinkel, #8077).
- Rename
-
HTML template styles:
- Remove
span.underline
rule. This is superfluous now that we render Underline as<u>
. - Improve CSS for task lists (#8151).
- Remove
-
LaTeX template: Add
boxlinks
variable for LaTeX/PDF output (#8198). Ifboxlinks
is set butcolorlinks
is not, then boxes will be printed around links (hidelinks
will not be set inhypersetup
). -
--self-contained
: Handleurl()
in<style>
elements (#8193). -
Text.Pandoc.PDF: use SHA1 hash of filename when converting SVG. The previous code threw away the directory component of the filename in constructing a new one. This led to surprising results if you had e.g.
foo/pic.svg
andbar/pic.svg
; in the final PDF they’d be the same image, because the latter would overwrite the former in the temp directory. -
Remove Muse reader round-trip tests. These are nondeterministic and have repeatedly failed on strange edge cases.
-
Update fonts MIME following IANA recommendation (Gabriel Lewertowski, #8127).
-
Future compat change for
liftA2
export from Prelude (Georgi Lyubenov, #8132). -
Update
default.csl
from the latest chicago-author-date.csl. -
Update manfilter.hs for greater portability (#8045). The tables in our man pages were not rendering correctly with mandoc, now used by default with macOS. mandoc doesn’t allow man formatting inside table cells. For maximum portability, we now render the tables in plain format and include them as code blocks in the man page.
-
CI: update macos container version (#8197, Sukka).
-
Add
nightly
flag. This causes a-nightly-COMPILEDATE
suffix to be added the the output of--version
(#8016). This is used in the nightly CI builds. -
Update dependencies (aeson, skylighting, pandoc-lua-marshall, citeproc, texmath).
-
Documentation improvements (thanks to Jiří Wolker, Castedo Ellerman, Albert Krewinkel, Bastien Dumont, Cezar Drożak, Benjamin Wuethrich, Ivan Panchenko, Sukil Etxenike, Masataka Ogawa).
pandoc 2.18 (2022-04-04)
-
New input formats:
endnotexml
(EndNote XML bibliography),ris
(RIS bibliography). -
A RIS bibliography file may now be used with
--citeproc
. -
Citeproc: Allow a formatted bibliography to be placed in metadata fields via a Div with class
refs
(#7969, #526). Thus, one can include a metadata field, sayrefs
, whose content is an empty div with idrefs
, and the formatted bibliography will be put into this metadata field. It may then be interpolated into a template using the variablerefs
. -
Ensure that you don’t get PDF output to terminal.
-t pdf
now behaves like-t docx
and gives an error unless the output is redirected. -
--version
now prints hslua version (#7929) and Lua version (#7997, Albert Krewinkel). -
Change
--metadata-file
parsing so that, when the input format is not markdown or a markdown variant, pandoc’s markdown is used (#6832, #7926). When the input format is a markdown variant, the same format is used. Reason for the change: it doesn’t make sense to run the markdown parser with a set of extensions designed for a non-markdown format, and this dramatically limits what people can do in metadata files. -
Trim whitespace from math in
--webtex
(#7892). This fixes problems with –webtex and markdown output, when display math starts or ends with a newline. -
--self-contained
: issue warning rather than failing with an error if a resource can’t be found (#7904). -
New exported module Text.Pandoc.Readers.EndNote, exporting
readEndNoteXML
andreadEndNoteXMLCitation
[API change]. -
New exported module, Text.Pandoc.Readers.RIS, exporting
readRIS
(#7894) [API change]. -
LaTeX reader:
- Handle subequations as inline math environment (#7883).
- Rudimentary support for
vbox
(#7939). - Support
\today
(#7905). - Handle
\label
and\ref
for footnotes (#7930). - Allow inline groups starting with
\bgroup
(#7953). - Use custom TokStream that keeps track of whether macros are expanded. This allows us to improve performance a bit by avoiding unnecessary runs of the macro expansion code (e.g. from 24 ms to 20 ms on our standard benchmark).
- Further optimizations for inline parsing.
- Better handling of
\usepackage
. If the package is local but causes parse errors, parse everything up to the error and skip the rest. Issue aCouldNotParseIncludeFile
warning indicating that parsing failed at that point. - Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX.Parsing: Monoid and Semigroup instances for TokStream.
-
HTML reader:
- Give warnings and emit empty note when parsing
<a epub:type="noteref">
and the identifier doesn’t correspond to anything in the note table (#7884). Previously we just silently skipped these cases. - Fix parsing of epub footnotes (#7884).
- Give warnings and emit empty note when parsing
-
DocBook reader:
- Handle complete set of entities as specified at https://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007doc/byalpha.html (#7938).
- Handle abstract in info section (#7747).
- Improve info parsing.
- Simplify metadata parsing code (#7747).
Handle abstract as block-level content.
Report skipped info elements with
--verbose
. - Handle address and coyright in metadata (#7747).
-
DokuWiki reader:
- Add DokuWiki table alignment (#5202, damon-sava-stanley).
-
RST reader:
- Fix treatment of headerless simple tables (#7902).
- Wrap math in Span to preserve attributes (#7998, Albert Krewinkel).
Math elements with a name, classes, or other fields are wrapped in a
Span
with these attributes.
-
JATS reader:
- Improve handling of fn-group elements (#6348, Albert Krewinkel).
Footnotes in
<fn-group>
elements are collected and re-inserted into the document as proper footnotes in the place where they are referenced. - Handle
pub-date
(#8000). - Support PMID, DOI, issue in citations (#7995).
- Improve refs parsing. Handle
issn
andisbn
; use simpler form for issued date. - Strip ‘ref-’ from ref id in constructing CSL id. This allows better
round-tripping, because the JATS writer adds the
ref-
prefix to the citation id to get the ref element’s id.
- Improve handling of fn-group elements (#6348, Albert Krewinkel).
Footnotes in
-
Org reader:
-
Allow “:” in property drawer keys (Lucas V. R). Any non-space character is allowed as property drawer key, including “:” itself (so it is not really a delimiter). The real delimiter is a space character, so in a drawer like
:PROPERTIES: ::k:ey:: value :END:
“:k:ey:” is a key with value “value”.
-
Allow comments above property drawer.
-
More flexible LaTeX environments (Lucas V. R).
-
Handle
#+bibliography:
as metadata so that it can work with--citeproc
. -
Parse
#+print_bibliography:
as Div with idrefs
. -
Allow multiple
#+bibliography:
.
-
-
Markdown reader:
- Allow one-column pipe tables with pipe on right (#7919).
- Remove restriction on identifiers, so they no longer need to begin with a letter (#7920).
-
Docx reader:
- Enable
citations
extension for docx reader (#7840). When enabled, Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote citations embedded in a docx are parsed as native pandoc citations. (When disabled, the generated citation text and bibliography are passed through as regular text.) The bibliography generated by the plugin is suppressed. Instead, bibliographic data embedded in citation items is added to thereferences
metadata field so that it can be used with--citeproc
.
- Enable
-
Docbook writer:
- Interpret links without contents as cross-references (#7360, Jan Tojnar).
Links without text contents are converted to
<xref>
elements. DocBook processors will generate appropriate cross-reference text when presented with an xref element.
- Interpret links without contents as cross-references (#7360, Jan Tojnar).
Links without text contents are converted to
-
Docx writer:
- Single numbering ID for examples (#7895, mjfs). This change ensures that example list items all belong to a single number sequence, so that if items are added or deleted in a word processor, the other items will renumber automatically.
- Add bookmark with table id to table (#7989, Nikolai Korobeinikov, #7285). This allows tables with ids to be linked to.
-
Ipynb writer:
- Handle metadata better (#7928). Previously we used the markdown
writer to render metadata. This had some undesirable consequences
(e.g. en dash expanded to
--
whensmart
enabled), so now we use the plain writer.
- Handle metadata better (#7928). Previously we used the markdown
writer to render metadata. This had some undesirable consequences
(e.g. en dash expanded to

LaTeX writer:
- Avoid extra space before
\CSLRightInline
(#7932). - Add
scrreport
tochaptersClasses
(#6168, ivardb). - Support
page
,trim
,clip
attributes on images (#7181). - Add
()
after booktabs rules (#8001). These commands take optional arguments with () and [], which can lead to problems if the content of the table cell begins with these characters.
- Avoid extra space before
-
RST writer:
- Support all standard metadata (“bibliographic”) fields.
-
HTML writer: performance improvements.
-
Org writer:
- Stop indenting property drawers, quote blocks (#3245, Albert Krewinkel). This follows the current default org-mode behavior.
-
Markdown writer:
- Move table-related code into submodule (Albert Krewinkel).
- Don’t produce redundant header identifier when the
gfm_auto_identifiers
extension is set (#7941). - Update escaping rules for
\
. We now escape\
only ifraw_tex
is enabled or it is followed by a non-alphanumeric.
-
JATS writer:
- Encode author “others” as
<etal/>
(Albert Krewinkel). Citeproc adopted the BibTeX convention to use the author name “others” when there are additional authors that are not named. JATS uses the<etal>
element for this. - Avoid doubled ref-list element (#7990). Previously when generating JATS
with the
element_citations
extension enabled, the references were put in a doubly-nested ref-list element (<ref-list><ref-list>...
). - Keep edition info in element citations (#7993, Albert Krewinkel).
- Fix handling of CSL variable ‘page’ (not ‘pages’ as we had before). It should go to ‘lpage’ and ‘rpage’, not ‘page-range’.
- Encode author “others” as
-
EPUB writer: refactor for clarity (#7991, Jonathan Dönszelmann, Ola Wolska, Ivar de Bruin, Jaap de Jong).
-
Custom writer (Albert Krewinkel):
- Support new-style Writer function (Albert Krewinkel). See the documentation for custom writers for details.
- Produce stacktrace if Writer function fails
-
Text.Pandoc.Logging: add
CouldNotParseIncludeFile
constructor forLogMessage
[API change]. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared:
- Put id attributes on TOC entries (#7907, damon-sava-stanley). Naming scheme of id is “toc-” + id of linked to header/section. Effects HTML, Markdown, Powerpoint, and RTF.
- Define
ordNub
as alias fornubOrd
from containers package (#7963, Albert Krewinkel). - Export
ensureValidXmlIdentifiers
. This function changes identifiers that don’t start with letters, and internal links to these identifiers, making them compatible with XML standards. The change is simple: we addid_
to the front. There is potential for duplication if there are alreadyid_...
identifiers defined, but this seems rare enough not to worry too much about.
-
Ensure that valid XML identifiers are used in Docbook, EPUB, FB2, HTML4, S5, Slidy, Slideous, ICML, ODT, TEI writers. Thus, if you convert
[anchor]{#1} and [link to](#1)
,id_1
will be used instead of1
for the identifier. -
Lua (Albert Krewinkel).
- Add module
pandoc.layout
to format and layout text. - Move custom writer code into Lua hierarchy.
- Use pandoc-lua-marshal 0.1.5.
- Allow any type of callable object as argument to List
functions
filter
,map
, andfind_if
. These previously required the argument to be of typefunction
, which was too restrictive. - Inline: the type of Image captions is now
Inlines
instead ofList
. - Allow passing

Text.Pandoc.PDF:
- Restore
wkhtmltopdf
as default pdf engine for HTML (Albert Krewinkel). - Allow custom writer as format if engine is explicitly specified (#7898, Albert Krewinkel). Note that it may be necessary to explicitly specify a template on the command line.
- Restore
-
Text.Pandoc.MediaBag: improve detection of absolute paths (#7881).
-
Text.Pandoc.Extensions:
- Remove
raw_tex
extension from list of commonmark extensions, and from thecommonmark_x
defaults. commonmark doesn’t parse raw TeX, and it doesn’t make sense to write it if we don’t parse it. - Remove
native_divs
from allowed gfm extensions (#7965). This allows<div>
to be suppressed using-raw_html
. Previouslynative_divs
was enabled but could not be suppressed, because it was not in the list of available extensions for commonmark-based formats.
- Remove
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing:
-
Partition module into (internal) submodules (#7962, Albert Krewinkel).
-
Unify grid table parsing (#7971, Albert Krewinkel). Grid table parsing in Markdown and RST are updated use the same functions. Functions are generalized to meet requirements for both formats. This change also lays the ground for further generalizations in table parsers, including support for advanced table features. [API change] in Text.Pandoc.Parsing:
- Parse results of functions
tableWith'
andgridTableWith'
are now amf TableComponents
instead of a quadruple of alignments, column widths, header rows and body rows. - Additional exports from Text.Pandoc.Parsing:
tableWith'
,TableComponents
,TableNormalization
,toTableComponents
,toTableComponents'
.
- Parse results of functions
-
-
Text.Pandoc.XML.Light: add versions of the parsers that allow specifying a custom entity map. Exports new functions:

Text.Pandoc.Writers.GridTable: improve module documentation (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing.GridTable: simplify column handling code (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Text.Pandoc.MIME: Add mime type for mkv extension (#7181).
-
Text.Pandoc.Asciify: Fix regression with
ascii_identifiers
and Turkish undotted i (#8003). -
Relax upper bound for hslua, allow hslua-2.2. (#7929) Lua 5.4 is used by default after this is merged. Packagers may still include Lua 5.3 instead by building pandoc with
--constraint='hslua <2.2'
. Differences between 5.3 and 5.4 should not generally affect pandoc Lua filters. See list of incompatible changes here: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/manual.html#8.1 -
JATS template: allow multiple licenses (Albert Krewinkel).
-
LaTeX template:
- Skip
\babelprovide
ifbabel-lang
is empty (#7945) to avoid an error. - Move hyperref near end of preamble (#5811). It now comes after
header-includes and right before title, author, date, abstract.
Note: Users who presuppose hyperref in their header-includes
will now have to add
\usepackage{hyperref}
to their header-includes to make it available there. (The redundant\usepackage
will do no harm in this case.) - Remove special redefinition of
\sout
. This used to be necessary to avoid problems with hyperref, when headings contain strikeout text, but it does not seem to be necessary any more (tested).
- Skip
-
Tests: improve location reporting of failing tests (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Add tests for idempotency of
makeSections
(#7950). -
Add armhf support in linux build script (#7944, Tony).
-
Use latest pandoc-types, so that toJSONFilter will work with Meta and MetaValue.
-
Use latest doclayout, texmath, commonmark, citeproc.
-
INSTALL.md: add reference to install via winget (#7951, Guriy Samarin).
-
MANUAL.txt:
- Document way to get list in block quote in slide shows (#7916).
- Minor changes to security section.
- Note that
smart
works for html input. - Fix typos (#7934, Dimitris Apostolou).
- Fix documentation for citations and org mode.
- Remove claim that
--self-contained
does not work with--mathjax
(#682).
-
doc/org.md: remove obsolete citations section. This mostly described citation formats we no longer support.
-
doc/lua-filters.md: Fix typo (#7981, Mario Lang).
-
Makefile: Use cabal for default build
-
Add
lua53
cabal flag. It is false by default. If set to true, compile with hslua 2.1 and Lua 5.3, otherwise hslua 2.2 and Lua 5.4.
pandoc 2.17.1.1 (2022-01-31)
-
Fix regression in 2.17.1 which caused problems finding default files in the default user data directory. (Reverts the item “logic bug in
fullDefaultsPath
”, which was misguided.) -
Sample custom writer: use single quotes for strings (#7487, Albert Krewinkel).
pandoc 2.17.1 (2022-01-30)
-
Support
pagedjs-cli
as pdf engine (#7838, Albert Krewinkel). PagedJS is a polyfill and supports the Paged Media standards by the W3C. https://www.pagedjs.org/ -
CommonMark reader: fix source position after YAML metadata (#7863).
-
LaTeX reader:
- Remove retokenizing in
rawLaTeXParser
. - Ensure that
\raggedright
doesn’t gobble an argument (#7757). - Improve
descItem
. For some reason we were skipping arbitrary blocks before\item
. This is now changed to “skip whitespace and comments.” - Improve handling of
\newif
. Adding a pair of braces around the second argument of\def
prevents LaTeX from an emergency stop on input like the following (#6096).\newif\ifepub \epubtrue \ifepub hi \fi
- Remove retokenizing in
-
Docx reader: Parse both Zotero citation and bibliography as
FieldInfo
(#7840). -
LaTeX writer:
- Allow arbitrary frameoptions to be passed to a beamer frame, using the frameoptions attribute (#7869).
- Add s and squeeze to recognized beamer frameoptions (#7869).
-
Markdown writer: handle explicit column widths with pipe tables (#7847). If a table has explicit column width information and the content extends beyond the
--columns
width, we need to adjust the widths of the pipe separators to encode this width information. -
Docx writer: Separate tables even with RawBlocks between (#7724, Michael Hoffmann). Adjacent docx tables need to be separated by an empty paragraph. If there’s a RawBlock between tables which renders to nothing, be sure to still insert the empty paragraph so that they will not collapse together.
-
Man writer: use custom font V for inline code (#7506). The V font is defined conditionally, so that it renders like CB in output formats that support that, and like B in those that don’t (e.g. the terminal). Aliases also defined for VI, VB, VBI.
-
Asciidoc writer: Support checklists in asciidoctor writer (#7832, Nikolai Korobeinikov, ricnorr). The checklist syntax (similar to
task_list
in markdown) seems to be an asciidoctor-only addition. -
HTML writer:
- Avoid duplicate “style” attributes on table cells (#7871).
- Don’t break lines inside code elements. With the new (default)
line wrapping of HTML, in conjunction with the default CSS which
includes
code { whitespace: pre-wrap; }
, spurious line breaks could be introduced into inline code (#7858).
-
Custom writer: preserve order of element attributes (#7489, Albert Krewinkel). Attribute key-value pairs are marshaled as AttributeList, i.e., as a userdata type that behaves both like a list and a map. This allows to preserve the order of key-value pairs.
-
Switch to hslua-2.1 (Albert Krewinkel). This allows for some code simplification and improves stability.
-
Don’t read files outside of user data directory (Even Brenden). If a file path does not exist relative to the working directory, and it does exist relative to the user data directory, but outside of of the user data directory, do not read it. This applies to
readDataFile
andreadMetadataFile
in PandocMonad and, by extension, any module that uses these by passing them relative paths. -
Text.Pandoc.Class.
makeCanonical
: Correctly handle consecutive “..“s at the beginning of a path (Even Brenden). Prior to this commit,../../file
would evaluate tofile
, when it should be unchanged. -
Search for metadata files in
$DATADIR/metadata
(#7851, Even Brenden). If files specified with--metadata-file
are not found in the working directory, look in$DATADIR/metadata
(#5876). -
Text.Pandoc.Class: export
readMetadataFile
[API change] (#5876). -
Text.Pandoc.Error: export new
PandocCouldNotFindMetadataFileError
constructor forPandocError
[API change] (#5876). -
Avoid putting a frame around speaker notes in beamer (#7857). If speaker notes (a Div with class ‘notes’) occur right after a section heading, but above slide level, the resulting
\note{..}
caommand should not be wrapped in a frame, as that will cause a spurious blank slide. -
CSS in HTML template: adjust #TOC and h1 on mobile (#7835, Mauro Bieg).
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX.Parsing: don’t export
totoks
. Make the first param oftokenize
a SourcePos instead of SourceName, and use it instead oftotoks
. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared: Modify
stringify
so it ignores[Citation]
insideCite
(#7855). Otherwise we’ll sometimes get two copies of things, one from thecitationPrefix
orcitationSuffix
and another from the embedded fallback text. When there is no fallback text, we’ll get no content. However, it really isn’t an alternative to just rely on the result of runningquery
on the embeddedCitation
s; this will result in a jumble of text rather than anything structured. -
Omit
--enable-doc
in the cabal haddock invocation intools/build-and-upload-api-docs.sh
. -
Text.Pandoc.App.Opt: fix logic bug in
fullDefaultsPath
. Previously we would (also) search the default user data directory for a defaults file, even if a different user data directory was specified using--data-dir
. This was a mistake; if--data-dir
is used, the default user data directory should not be searched. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared:
defaultUserDataDir
behavior change (#7842). If the XDG data directory is not defined (e.g. because it’s not supported in the OS or HOME isn’t defined), we return the empty string instead of raising an exception. -
Update command tests to distinguish stderr and test exit status.
-
MANUAL: add that speaker notes can be used with beamer (#7856).
-
Update
build-and-upload-api-docs.sh
. -
Document
--trace
option. Documentno-check-certificate
in defaults files. Document ‘sandbox’ option for defaults files. (#7873). -
Fix pattern syntax in sample readability custom reader.
-
doc/custom-readers.lua: add example for “readable HTML.”
-
Fix message in man page about where code can be found.
-
manfilter.lua
: remove extra indent in table cells with code blocks. -
Fix lua-filters documentation for table column widths (#7864).
-
epub.doc: Update links to KindleGen (#7846, Benson Muite, Mauro Bieg). KindleGen has been deprecated and we need to link to archived versions.
-
Use tables in defaults files documentation, so each default option is paired with the corresponding command-line option (Carsten Allefeld).
-
Use skylighting 0.12.2.
-
Add pandoc-lua-marshal to Nix shell (#7849, Even Brenden).
pandoc 2.17.0.1 (2022-01-14)
-
Require pandoc-lua-marshal 0.1.3.1 (#7831, Albert Krewinkel). Fixes a problem with
List.includes
andList.find
that caused a Lua stackoverflow and subsequent program crash. -
HTML template: load header-includes before math (#7833, Kolen Cheung). MathJax expect the config comes before loading the MathJax script. This change of order allows one to config MathJax via header-includes, which loads before the MathJax script. Cf. #2750.
-
When reading defaults file, stop at a line
...
. This line signals the end of a YAML document. This restores the behavior we got with HsYaml. yaml complains about content past this line. See https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/4627#issuecomment-1012438765 -
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc: allow
notes-after-punctuation
to work with numerical styles that use superscripts (e.g. american-medical-association.csl), as well as with note styles. The default setting ofnotes-after-punctuation
is true for note styles and false otherwise. This restores a behavior of pandoc-citeproc that wasn’t properly carried over to Citeproc (#7826, cf. jgm/pandoc-citeproc#384). -
Use commonmark-pandoc 0.2.1.2 (#7769).
-
Add FAQ on images in ipynb containers (#7749, Kolen Cheung).
pandoc 2.17 (2022-01-12)
-
Support
markua
as an output format (#1871, Tim Wisotzki and Saumel Lemmenmeier). Markua is a markdown variant used by Leanpub. -
Add text wrapping for HTML output (#7764). Previously the HTML writer was exceptional in not being sensitive to the
--wrap
option. With this change--wrap
now works for HTML. The default (as with other formats) is automatic wrapping. Note that the contents ofscript
,textarea
, andpre
tags are always laid out with theflush
combinator, so that unwanted spaces won’t be introduced if these occur in an indented context in a template. -
Don’t read sources until in/out format are verified (#7797).
-
Issue error with
--list-extensions
for invalid formats (#7797). -
Make
--citeproc
recognize.yml
as well as.yaml
extensions as YAML bibliography files (#7707, Jörn Krenzer). -
Use latest version of KaTeX with
--katex
. -
Fix parsing of footnotes in
--metadata-file
(#7813). Previously non-inline footnotes were not being parsed. -
ODT reader:
- Parse list-header as a list item (Tuong Nguyen Manh).
-
Commonmark reader:
- Put sourcepos attribute on header, not enclosing div
with
-f commonmark+sourcepos
(#7769).
- Put sourcepos attribute on header, not enclosing div
with
-
Markdown reader:
- Don’t allow
^
at beginning of link or image label (#7723). This is reserved for footnotes. Fixes regression from 0a93acf. - Fix parsing of “bare locators” after author-in-text citations.
Previously
@item [p. 12; @item2]
was incorrectly parsed as three citations rather than two. This is now fixed by ensuring thatprefix
doesn’t gobble any semicolons. - Revert changes to
inlinesInBalancedBrackets
(commit fa83246), which caused regressions. - Improve detection of pipe table line widths (#7713). 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.
- Don’t allow
-
Custom (Lua) readers:
- First argument is now a list of sources instead of the
concatenated text (Albert Krewinkel). The list
structure can easily be converted to a string by applying
tostring
, but it is also possible to access the elements (each with atext
andname
). A small example is added to the custom reader documentation, showcasing its use in a reader that creates a syntax-highlighted code block for each source code file passed as input. Existing readers will still work through a fallback mechanism, issuing a deprecation notice.
- First argument is now a list of sources instead of the
concatenated text (Albert Krewinkel). The list
structure can easily be converted to a string by applying
-
Org reader:
- Parse official org-cite citations (#7329). We also support the older org-ref style as a fallback. We no longer support the “markdown style” or “Berkeley style” citations.
- Support alphabetical (fancy) lists (Lucas Viana). When the
fancy_lists
extension is enabled, alphabetical list markers are allowed, mimicking the behaviour of Org Mode whenorg-list-allow-alphabetical
is enabled. - Support counter cookies in lists (Lucas Viana). Such cookies are used to override the item counter in ordered lists. In org it is possible to set the counter at any list item, but since Pandoc AST does not support this, we restrict the usage to setting an offset for the entire ordered list, by using the cookie in the first list item.
- Allow trailing spaces after key/value pairs in directives (Albert
Krewinkel). Ensures that spaces at the end of attribute directives like
#+ATTR_HTML: :width 100%
(note the trailing spaces) are accepted.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Omit visible content for
\label{...}
. Previously we included the text of the label in square brackets, but this is undesirable in many cases. See discussion in https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/813#issuecomment-978232426. - Improve references (#813). Resolve references to theorem environments. Remove the Span caused by “label” in figure, table, and theorem environments; this had an id that duplicated the environments’ id.
- Fix semantics of
\ref
. 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. - Add babel mappings for Guajati (gu) and Oriya (or) (#7815).
- Fix typo
panjabi
->punjabi
in babel mappings (#7814).
- Omit visible content for
-
HTML reader:
- Parse attributes on links and images (#6970).
-
Docx reader:
- Handle multiple pic elements inside a drawing (#7786).
- Change
elemToParPart
to return[ParPart]
instead ofParPart
. Also removeNullParPart
constructor, as it is no longer needed. This will allow us to handle elements that contain multiple ParParts, e.g.w:drawing
elements with multiplepic:pic
.
-
DocBook reader:
- Collapse internal spaces in literal and other similar tags (#7821), as the standard docbook toolchain does.
- Be sensitive to spacing=“compact” in lists (#7799). When
spacing="compact"
is set, Para elements are turned into Plain, so we get a “tight” list.
-
Markdown writer:
- Add new exported function
writeMarkua
from Text.Pandoc.Writers.Markdown [API change] (#1871, Tim Wisotzki and Saumel Lemmenmeier). - Fix indentation issue in footnotes (#7801).
- Avoid extra space before citation suffix if it already starts with a space.
- Ensure semicolon between the locator and the next citation when an author-in-text citation has a locator and following citations.
- Improve escaping for
#
(#7726).
- Add new exported function
-
Custom (Lua) writers:
- Allow variables to be set via second return value of
Doc
(#6731, Albert Krewinkel). New templates variables can be added by giving variable-value pairs as a second return value of the global functionDoc
. Example:function Doc (body, meta, vars) vars.date = vars.date or os.date '%B %e, %Y' return body, vars end
- Provide global
PANDOC_WRITER_OPTIONS
(#6731, Albert Krewinkel). - Assign default Pandoc object to global
PANDOC_DOCUMENT
(Albert Krewinkel). The default Pandoc object is now non-strict, i.e., only the parts of the document that are accessed will be marshaled to Lua. A special type is no longer necessary. This change also makes it possible to use the global variable with library functions such aspandoc.utils.references
, or to inspect the document contents withwalk()
.
- Allow variables to be set via second return value of
-
LaTeX writer:
- Fix typo
panjabi
->punjabi
in babel mappings (#7814).
- Fix typo
-
MediaWiki writer:
- Remove redundant display text for wiki links (Jesse Hathaway).
-
Docx writer:
- Handle bullets correctly in lists by not reusing numIds (#7689, Michael Hoffmann). This fixes a bug in which a Div in a list item would receive bullets on its contained paragraphs.
-
Org writer:
- Fix list items starting with a code block or other non-paragraph content (#7810).
- Avoid blank lines after tight sublists (#7810).
- Fix extra blank line inserted after empty list item (#7810).
- Don’t add blank line before lists (#7810).
- Support starting number cookies (Lucas Viana). This is necessary for lists that start at a number other than 1.
- Support the new org-cite syntax (#7329).
-
Haddock writer:
- Avoid blank lines after tight sublists (#7810).
-
Ipynb writer:
- Ensure deterministic order of keys.
- Handle cell output with raw block of markdown (#7563, Kolen Cheung). Write RawBlock of markdown in code-cell output. This is designed to fit the behavior of #7561, which makes the ipynb reader parse code-cell output with mime “text/markdown” to a RawBlock of markdown. This commit makes the ipynb writer writes this RawBlock of markdown back inside a code-cell output with the same mime, preserving this information in round-trip.
- In choosing between multiple output options, always favor
those marked with the output format over images (Kolen Cheung).
Previously, both
fmt == f
case and Image have a rank of 1.
-
Ipynb reader & writer: properly handle cell “id” (#7728). This is passed through if it exists (in Nb4); otherwise the writer will add a random one so that all cells have an “id”.
-
Ms writer:
- Properly encode strings for PDF contents (#7731).
-
JATS writer:
- Keep quotes in element-citations (Albert Krewinkel). Fixed a bug that lead to quote characters being lost in element-citations.
-
RTF writer:
- Properly handle images in data URIs (#7771).
-
Commonmark writer:
- Allow ‘)’ delimiters on ordered lists.
-
RST writer:
- Avoid extra blank line after empty list item (#7810).
-
HTML writer:
- Make line breaks more consistent. With
--wrap=none
, we now output line breaks between block-level elements. Previously they were omitted entirely, so the whole document was on one line, unless there were literal line breaks in pre sections. This makes the HTML writer’s behavior more consistent with that of other writers. Also, regardless of wrap settings, put newline after<dd>
and after block-level elements in the footnotes section. And add a line break between animg
tag and the associatedfigcaption
. - reveal.js: Make sure images with
r-stretch
are not in p tags. They must be direct children of the section. There was previously code to make this work with the older class namestretch
, but the name has changed in reveal.js. - reveal.js: don’t add
r-fit-text
class to section. It must go on the header only.
- Make line breaks more consistent. With
-
AsciiDoc writer:
- Improve detection of intraword emphasis (#7803).
-
OpenDocument writer:
- Fix vertical alignment bug with display math (#7777). Previously some
displayed formulas would be floated above a preceding text line.
This is fixed by setting
vertical-rel
totext
rather thanparagraph-content
.
- Fix vertical alignment bug with display math (#7777). Previously some
displayed formulas would be floated above a preceding text line.
This is fixed by setting
-
JATS template (Albert Krewinkel):
- Fix position of contrib affiliations in authoring set. Any
<aff>
element must come before any<email>
element. - Fix affiliation tagging in
articleauthoring
output. Affiliations werexlink
ed even in the articleauthoring tag set, but<aff>
are not allowed as children ofcontrib-group
elements in that tag set. Each affiliation must be listed directly in the contrib element. - Add support for article subtitles.
- Fix position of contrib affiliations in authoring set. Any
-
EPUB template:
- Include abstract in default template.
- Ensure that the essential styles needed by pandoc (
styles.html
partial) are included in the templates. This is important for correct formatting of CSL bibliographies. Note that much of the styling instyles.html
will be ignored for EPUB, because of the conditional ondocument-css
. Setting thedocument-css
variable will cause it not to be ignored.
-
HTML template: Add abstract (#7588, Jannik Buhr, John MacFarlane). By default, a localized title (the word “Abstract”) will be used, unless the variable
abstract-title
is set. -
ConTeXt template: Make title appear in PDF title bar. This is recommended for accessibility reasons. Note: doesn’t work with macOS Preview.app.
-
reference.pptx
: change to use 16:9 aspect ratio, Powerpoint’s default. -
Text.Pandoc.Writers:
- Do not export
writeCustom
[API change]. This ensures that all writers exported in T.P.Writers are parameterized and work with anyPandocMonad
type. This is consistent with T.P.Readers, asreadCustom
is not exported from that module either.
- Do not export
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared:
endsWithPlain
now returns True if the list ends with a list that ends with a Plain, and so on recursively (#7810).
-
Text.Pandoc.Class.IO:
writeMedia
: unescape percent-encoding in creating file path. This addresses a problem with spaces in image filenames when creating PDFs (#7819); it also affects--extract-media
.
-
New internal module Text.Pandoc.Writers.Blaze, exporting
layoutMarkup
. This converts a blaze Html structure into a doclayout Doc Text. -
Text.Pandoc.Extensions:
parseFormatSpec
: cleaner error message for invalid extensions.
-
Text.Pandoc.MediaBag:
- Fix bug in
extractMedia
, which caused the test for..
in paths to fail, with the result that images with..
in the path name could be extracted outside of the directory specified byextractMedia
. It also led a check formedia
in resource paths to fail in the docx reader.
- Fix bug in
-
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc:
- Avoid adding comma before an author-in-text citation in a note if it begins with a title (no author) (#7761).
- Text.Pandoc.Citeproc.Locator now exports
toLocatorMap
,LocatorInfo
, andLocatorMap
. The type ofparseLocator
has changed, so it now takes aLocatorMap
rather than aLocale
as parameter, and returns aLocatorInfo
instead of a tuple. - Fix citation locator detection for German.
toLocatorMap
now stores keys case-folded. We want to do a case-insensitive comparison when parsing locators, so that e.g. bothChap.
andchap.
work. Previously we case-folded terms when doing the lookup, but they weren’t case-folded in the map itself, which led to locator-detection breaking for German (where the terms have uppercase letters).
-
Lua (Albert Krewinkel):
- Allow single elements as singleton MetaBlocks/MetaInlines. Single elements should always be treated as singleton lists in the Lua subsystem.
- Add
pandoc.template
module. The module provides acompile
function to use strings as templates. - Add
pandoc.WriterOptions
constructor. - Add function
pandoc.write
. - Provide global
PANDOC_WRITER_OPTIONS
(#5221). - The function Text.Pandoc.Filter.applyFilters now takes a filter
environment of type
Environment
, instead of a ReaderOptions value [API change]. - The
Environment
type is exported from Text.Pandoc.Filter and allows to combine ReaderOptions and WriterOptions in a single value [API change]. - Global, exported from Text.Pandoc.Lua, has a new type constructor
PANDOC_WRITER_OPTIONS
[API change]. - Add constructors
pandoc.Blocks
andpandoc.Inlines
. The functions convert their argument into a list of Block and Inline values, respectively. When applied to a string, they split the string intoStr
elements separated bySpace
orSoftBreak
(#7712). - Support topdown traversals The traversal order of filters can now
be selected by setting the key
traverse
of the filter to either'topdown'
or'typewise'
; the default remains'typewise'
. Topdown traversals can be cut short by returningfalse
as a second value from the filter function. No child-element of the returned element is processed in that case. - Marshal ReaderOptions field
extensions
,track_changes
via JSON. Extensions are now available as a list of strings; the track-changes settings are given as the kebab-case representation used in JSON. - Allow binary (byte string) readers to be used with
pandoc.read
. - Use global state when parsing documents in
pandoc.read
. The functionpandoc.read
is updated to use the same state that was used while parsing the main input files. This ensures that log messages are preserved and that images embedded in the input are added to the mediabag. - Cleanup stack in
peekReadOptionsTable
. A ReaderOptions element was left on top of the stack when thepeekReadOptionsTable
function was invoked. walk
methods are added toPandoc
,Block
,Inline
,Blocks
,Inlines
values; the methods are similar topandoc.utils.walk_block
andpandoc.utils.walk_inline
, but apply to filter to the element’s contents.- Functions of name
Doc
are no longer accepted as alternatives forPandoc
filter functions. This functionality was undocumented. - Improve handling of empty caption, body by
from_simple_table
#7776). Create truly empty table caption and body when these are empty in the simple table. - Change representation of
TableHead
,TableFoot
, andRow
values (#7718). The objects now also follow the principle that element attributes are accessible through the.attr
field. Rows inTableHead
andTableFoot
are available via the.rows
field. Row objects have a.cells
field, containing the list of table cells. - Simplify code of
pandoc.utils.stringify
. Minor behavior change: plain strings nested in tables are now included in the result string. - Simplify and deprecate function
pandoc.utils.equals
. The function is no longer required for element comparisons; it is now an alias for the==
operator. - Add function
pandoc.utils.references
(#7752). - Add new library function
pandoc.utils.type
. The function behaves like the defaulttype
function from Lua’s standard library, but is aware of pandoc userdata types. A typical use-case would be to determine the type of a metadata value. - Fix return types of
blocks_to_inlines
,make_sections
. Ensures the returned lists have the correct type (Inlines
andBlocks
, respectively). - Use more natural representation for Reference values
Omit
false
boolean values, push integers as numbers.
-
Lua: use package pandoc-lua-marshal (#7719, Albert Krewinkel). 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, and error messages were improved.
- Lists of
Block
andInline
elements are marshaled using the new list typesBlocks
andInlines
, 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 forMetaString
andMetaBool
values, which are still marshaled as Lua strings and booleans, respectively. Affected values:MetaBlocks
values are marshaled as aBlocks
list;MetaInlines
values are marshaled as aInlines
list;MetaList
values are marshaled as a generic pandocList
s.MetaMap
values are marshaled as plain tables and no longer given any metatable.
Cell
values are now marshaled as userdata objects; a constructor function for table cells is provided aspandoc.Cell
.- 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. - Inlines, Blocks, and List objects now have an
__eq

pandoc 2.16.2 (2021-11-21)
-
Add interface for custom readers written in Lua (#7669). Users can now do
-f myreader.lua
and pandoc will treat the scriptmyreader.lua
as a custom reader, which parses an input string to a pandoc AST, using the pandoc module defined for Lua filters. A sample custom reader can be found indata/creole.lua
. Also see documentation indoc/custom-readers.md
. -
New module Text.Pandoc.Readers.Custom, exporting
readCustom
[API change]. -
Allow
plain
to be used in raw attribute syntax. -
Accept empty
--metadata-file
(#7675). This was a regression from 2.15 behavior. -
Markdown reader: Improve
inlinesInBalancedBrackets
. This is just a small improvement in terms of performance, but it’s simpler and more direct code. Also, we avoid parsing interparagraph spaces in balanced brackets, as the original did. -
BibTeX reader: Properly handle commented lines in BibTeX/BibLaTeX (#7668).
-
RST reader: handle class attribute for for custom roles (#7699, willj-dev). Previously the class attribute was ignored, and the name of the role used as the class.
-
DocBook reader:
- Add
<titleabbr>
support (Rowan Rodrik van der Molen). - Support for
<indexterm>
(#7607, Rowan Rodrik van der Molen).
- Add
-
LaTeX reader:
- Add rudimentary support for
\autoref

\url
, for consistency with treatment of autolinks in other formats (#7672).
- Add rudimentary support for
-
JATS reader: Capture
alt-text
in figures (#7703, Aner Lucero). -
MediaWiki writer: use HTML spans for anchors when header has id (#7697). We need to generate a span when the header’s ID doesn’t match the one MediaWiki would generate automatically. Note that MediaWiki’s generation scheme is different from pandoc’s (it uses uppercase letters, and
_
instead of-
, for example). This means that in going from markdown to mediawiki, we’ll now get spans before almost every heading, unless explicit identifiers are used that correspond to the ones MediaWiki auto-generates. This is uglier output but it’s necessary for internal links to work properly. -
Markdown writer: don’t create autolinks when this loses information (#7692). Previously we sometimes lost attributes when rendering links as autolinks.
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Metadata: allow multiple YAML documents when parsing YAML for
yamlBsToRefs
. Some people use---
as the end delimiter in YAML bibliography files, which causes theyaml
library to emit an error unless we explicitly allow multiple YAML documents (and just consider the first). -
JATS writer:
- Ensure figures are wrapped with
<p>
in list items (Albert Krewinkel). This prevents the generation of invalid output. - Add URL to element citation entries (Albert Krewinkel).
The URL of a reference, if present, is added in tag
<uri>
to element-citation entries.
- Ensure figures are wrapped with

HTML writer: Don’t create invalid
data-

LaTeX writer:
- Babel mappings: use
ancientgreek

. - With
-t latex-smart
, don’t generate\ldots
from ellipsis (#7674). Instead just use unicode ellipsis.
- Babel mappings: use
-
JATS template: fix
equal-contrib

orno
, but is was set totrue
for authors who contributed equally. -
reveal.js template: Add
disableLayout
variable (Christophe Dervieux). -
Text.Pandoc.Error: sort errors in
handleError
by exit code (Albert Krewinkel). -
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared: Improve toLegacyTable (#7683, Christian Despres).
-
Lua subsystem:
-
Include lpeg module (#7649, Albert Krewinkel). Compiles the
lpeg
library (Parsing Expression Grammars For Lua) into the program. Package maintainers may choose to rely on package dependencies to make lpeg available, in which case they can compile the with the constraintlpeg +rely-on-shared-lpeg-library
.lpeg
andre
are always made available in global variables, without the need for arequire
. -
Set
lpeg
andre
as globals; allow shared lib access viarequire
. Thelpeg
andre
modules are loaded into globals of the respective name, but they are not necessarily registered as loaded packages. This ensures that- the built-in library versions are preferred when setting the globals,
- a shared library is used if pandoc has been compiled without
lpeg
, and - the
require
mechanism can be used to load the shared library if available, falling back to the internal version if possible and necessary.
-
Fix argument order in constructor
pandoc.Cite
(Albert Krewinkel). This restores the old behavior; argument order had been switched accidentally in pandoc 2.15. -
Add Pushable instance for
ReaderOptions
(Albert Krewinkel). -
Allow to pass custom reader options to
pandoc.read
as an optional third argument (#7656, Albert Krewinkel). The object can either be a table or a ReaderOptions value likePANDOC_READER_OPTIONS
. Creating new ReaderOptions objects is possible through the new constructorpandoc.ReaderOptions
. -
Display Pandoc values using their native Haskell representation (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Require latest hslua (2.0.1) (#7661, #7657, Albert Krewinkel). This fixes issues with
- misleading error messages when a required function parameter is omitted;
- absent properties still being listed in the output of
pairs
; and - alias accessing leading to errors instead of returning
nil
, e.g. with(pandoc.Str '').identifier
.
-
Add missing space in “package not found” message (#7658, Albert Krewinkel).
-
-
Update build files (#7696, Fabián Heredia Montiel). Drop old windows 32-bit constraints. Update cabal
tested-with
field to correspond toci.yml
matrix -
Remove unneeded package dependencies from benchmark target.
-
Require ghc >= 8.6, base >= 4.12. This allows us to get rid of the old custom prelude and some crufty cpp. But the primary reason for this is that conduit has bumped its base lower bound to 4.12, making it impossible for us to support lower base versions.
-
Require Cabal 2.4. Use wildcards to ensure that all pptx tests are included (#7677).
-
Update
bash_completion.tpl
(S.P.H.). -
Add
data/creole.lua
as sample custom reader. -
Add
doc/custom-readers.md
anddoc/custom-writers.md
. -
doc/lua-filters.md
: add section on global modules, including lpeg (Albert Krewinkel). -
MANUAL.txt
: update table of exit codes and corresponding errors (Albert Krewinkel). -
Use latest texmath.
pandoc 2.16.1 (2021-11-02)
-
Docx reader: don’t let first line indents trigger block quotes (#7655). This fixes a regression introduced in pandoc 2.15.
-
Docx writer: use
getTimestamp
for modification times in reference.docx (#7654). This ensures that whenSOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
is set, the modification times of files taken from the reference.docx will be set deterministically, allowing for reproducible builds. -
Lua subsystem (Albert Krewinkel):
- Load module
pandoc.path
on startup (#7524). Previously the module always had to be loaded viarequire 'pandoc.path'
. - Fix typo in SoftBreak constructor.
- Re-add
content
property to Strikeout elements. Fixes a regression introduced in 2.15. - Be more forgiving when retrieving the Image
caption
property. Fixes a regression introduced in 2.15. - Display Attr values using their native Haskell representation.
- Allow omitting the 2nd parameter in pandoc.Code constructor. Fixes a regression introduced in 2.15 which required users to always specify an Attr value when constructing a Code element.
- Allow to compare, show Citation values. Comparisons of Citation values are performed in Haskell; values are equal if they represent the same Haskell value. Converting a Citation value to a string now yields its native Haskell string representation.
- Restore List behavior of MetaList (#7650). Fixes a regression
introduced in 2.16 which had MetaList elements lose
the
pandoc.List
properties. - Restore
content
property on Header elements. - Ensure Block elements have all expected properties.
- Ensure Inline elements have all expected properties.
- Load module
-
Allow tasty-bench 0.3.x.
pandoc 2.16 (2021-10-31)
-
Switch back from HsYAML to yaml for parsing YAML metadata (#6084). HsYAML is around 20 times slower in parsing large YAML bibliographies. In addition, HsYAML is not being actively maintained. This sets us back in our attempts to free ourselves from C dependencies (#4535). But I don’t see a good alternative until a faster pure Haskell parser is available. Notes:
- We’ve removed the FromYAML instances for all types that had them, since this is a HsYAML-specific typeclass [API change]. (The yaml package just uses From/ToJSON instead of having a dedicated From/ToYAML class.)
- Unlike HsYAML (in the configuration we were using), yaml parses ‘Y’, ‘N’, ‘Yes’, ‘No’, ‘On’, ‘Off’ as boolean values. Users may need to quote these when they are meant to be interpreted as strings. Similarly, ‘null’ is parsed as a YAML null value (and will be treated as an empty string by pandoc rather than the string ‘null’). Quoting it will force it to be interpreted as a string.
- Some tests had to be adjusted accordingly.
- Pandoc now behaves in a more useful way when the YAML metadata contains escaping errors: instead of just failng silently and falling back to some other interpretation of the section, it raises a YAML parsing error.
-
Markdown writer: Ensure that special values are quoted in YAML metadata. These include “Y”, “yes”, “on”, and “off”, which are now (with yaml library) considered boolean values, as well as “null”.
-
Change JSON encodings of some types.
- For LineEnding use lowercase constructors, e.g.
crlf
,native
. - For HTMLSlideVariant use lowercase constructors.
- For ReaderOptions use e.g.
default-image-extension
instead ofreaderDefaultImageExtension
for field names. - For Extension, use e.g.
tex_math_dollars
instead ofExt_tex_math_dollars
as constructor. - For Extensions, use an array of Extensions, instead of
an object wrapping the tag
Extensions
and an integer. (The integer representation is not supposed to be part of the public API.) - For Opt, use field names like
tab-stop
instead ofoptTabStop
.
- For LineEnding use lowercase constructors, e.g.
-
Docx writer:
- Add IDs to native_numbering test (Tristan Stenner).
- Move “: “ out of the caption bookmark (Tristan Stenner). This is needed so that native references to the figure are included as “As seen in Figure X, it is…” instead of “As seen in [Figure: X, it is…”
-
Lua (Albert Krewinkel, except as noted):
-
Use hslua module abstraction where possible.
-
Fix placement of tests for Block elements in pandoc module tests
-
Increase strictness when getting attribute keys
-
Re-add
t
andtag
property to Attr values. Removal of these properties from Attr values was a regression. -
Fix
pandoc.utils.stringify
regression. Thepandoc.utils.stringify
function returned empty strings when called with a string argument. -
Fix a copy/paste bug in Lua marshalling code (John MacFarlane, #7639). This caused links to be changed to figures when Lua filters changed link properties.
-
Re-add
content
property to Link elements (#7647). This was a regression introduced in version 2.15. -
Generate constants in module pandoc programmatically.
-
Marshal SimpleTable, ListAttributes, Citation, and Block values as userdata objects. Properties of Block values are marshalled lazily, which generally improves performance considerably. Script users may also notice the following differences:
- Block element properties can no longer be accessed by numerical
indexing of the
.c
field. The.c
property now serves as an alias for.content
, so some filter that used this undocumented method for property access may continue to work, while others will need to be updated and use proper property names. - The marshalled Block elements now have a
show
method, and a__tostring
metamethod. Both return the Haskell string representation of the element. - Block values now have the Lua type
userdata
instead oftable
.
- Block element properties can no longer be accessed by numerical
indexing of the
-
-
Add a short guide to pandoc’s sources (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Fix epub files in epub reader tests, so that they are valid according to epubcheck (#7586).
-
Allow time 1.13.
-
Require latest skylighting (0.12.1).
-
Fix build on GHC 9.2 (Joseph C. Sible).
-
Fix trypandoc so it builds with aeson > 2.
pandoc 2.15 (2021-10-23)
-
Add
--sandbox
option (#5045).- Add sandbox feature. When this option is used, readers and writers only have access to input files (and other files specified directly on command line). This restriction is enforced in the type system.
- Filters, PDF production, custom writers are unaffected. This feature only insulates the actual readers and writers, not the pipeline around them in Text.Pandoc.App.
- Note that when
--sandboxed
is specified, readers won’t have access to the resource path, nor will anything have access to the user data directory.
-
--self-contained
: Fix bug that caused everything to be made a data URI (#7635, #7367). We only need to use data URIs in certain cases, but due to a bug they were being used always. -
Pandoc will now fall back to latin1 encoding for inputs that can’t be read as UTF-8. This is what it did previously for content fetched from the web and not marked as to content type. It makes sense to do the same for local files. In this case a
NotUTF8Encoded
warning will be issued, indicating that pandoc is interpreting the input as latin1. -
Markdown reader:
- Don’t parse links or bracketed spans as citations (#7632).
Previously pandoc would parse
[link to (@a)](url)
as a citation; similarly[(@a)]{#ident}
. This is undesirable. One should be able to use example references in citations, and even if@a
is not defined as an example reference,[@a](url)
should be a link containing an author-in-text citation rather than a normal citation followed by literal(url)
. - Fix interaction of
--strip-comments
and list parsing (#7521). Use of--strip-comments
was causing tight lists to be rendered as loose (as if the comment were a blank line). - Fix parsing bug for math in bracketed spans and links (#7623).
This affects math with unbalanced brackets (e.g.
$(0,1]$
) inside links, images, bracketed spans. - Fix code blocks using
--preserve-tabs
(#7573). Previously they did not behave as the equivalent input with spaces would.
- Don’t parse links or bracketed spans as citations (#7632).
Previously pandoc would parse

DocBook reader:
- Honor linenumbering attribute (Samuel Tardieu).
The attribute DocBook
linenumbering="numbered"
on code blocks maps to thenumberLines
class internally.

LaTeX reader:
- Implement siunitx v3 commands (#7614).
We support
\unit
,\qty
,\qtyrange
, and\qtylist
as synonyms of\si
,\SI
,\SIrange
, and\SIlist
. - Properly handle
\^
followed by group closing (#7615). - Recognize that
\vadjust
sometimes takes “pre” (#7531). - Ignore (and gobble parameters of) CSLReferences environment (#7531). Otherwise we get the parameters as numbers in the output.
- Restrict
\endinput
to current file (Simun Schuster).
- Implement siunitx v3 commands (#7614).
We support
-
RST reader: handle escaped colons in reference definitions (#7568).
-
HTML reader:
- Handle empty tbody element in table (#7589).
-
Ipynb reader (Kolen Cheung):
- Get cell output mime from
raw_mimetype
in addition toformat
. (format
is what the spec calls for, butraw_mimetype
is often used in practice; see jupyter/nbformat#229). - Add more formats that can be handled as “raw” cells.
- Fix mime type for
rst
. - Support
text/markdown
, which is now a supported mime type for raw output (#7561).
- Get cell output mime from
-
RTF reader:
- Support
\binN
for binary image data. - If doc begins with {\rtf1 … } only parse its contents.
Some documents seem to have non-RTF (e.g. XML) material after the
{\rtf1 ... }
group. - Ignore
\pgdsc
group. Otherwise we get style names treated as test. - Better handling of
\*
and bookmarks. We now ensure that groups starting with\*
never cause text to be added to the document. In addition, bookmarks now create a span between the start and end of the bookmark, rather than an empty span.
- Support
-
Docx reader:
- Avoid blockquote when parent style has more indent (Milan Bracke). When a paragraph has an indentation different from the parent (named) style, it used to be considered a blockquote. But this only makes sense when the paragraph has more indentation. So this commit adds a check for the indentation of the parent style.
- Fix handling of empty fields (Milan Bracke). Some fields only
have an
instrText
and no content, Pandoc didn’t understand these, causing other fields to be misunderstood because it seemed like a field was still open when it wasn’t. - Implement PAGEREF fields (Milan Bracke). These fields, often used in tables of contents, can be a hyperlink.
- Fix handling of nested fields (Milan Bracke). Fields delimited by
fldChar
elements can contain other fields. Before, the nested fields would be ignored, except for the end, which would be considered the end of the parent field. - Add placeholder for word diagram instead of just omitting it (Ezwal).
-
Org reader:
- Don’t parse a list as first item in a list item (#7557).
- Allow an initial
:PROPERTIES:
drawer to add to metadata (#7520).
-
Docx writer:
- Make id used in
native_numbering
predictable (#7551). If the image has the id IMAGEID, then we use the id ref_IMAGEID for the figure number. This allows one to create a filter that adds a figure number with figure name, e.g.<w:fldSimple w:instr=" REF ref_superfig "><w:r><w:t>Figure X</w:t> </w:r></w:fldSimple>
. If an image lack an id, an id of the formref_fig1
is used.
- Make id used in
- Ensure we have unique ids for
wp:docPr
andpic:cNvPr
elements (#7527, #7503). - Handle SVG images (#4058). This change has several parts:
- In Text.Pandoc.App, if the writer is docx, we fill the media bag and attempt to convert any SVG images to PNG, adding these to the media bag. The PNG backups have the same filenames as the SVG images, but with an added .png extension. If the conversion cannot be done (e.g. because rsvg-convert is not present), a warning is omitted.
- In Text.Pandoc.Writers.Docx, we now use Word 2016’s syntax for including SVG images. If a PNG fallback is present in the media bag, we include a link to that too.
-
Powerpoint writer (Emily Bourke):
- Add support for more layouts (#5097). Up til now, four layouts were supported: “Title Slide” (used for the automatically generated metadata slide), “Section Header” (used for headings above slide level), “Two Column” (used when there’s a columns div), “Title and Content” (used for all other slides). We now support three additional layouts: “Comparison”, “Content with Caption”, and “Blank”. The manual describes the logic that determines which layout is used for a slide. Layouts may be customized in the reference doc.
- Support specifying slide background images using a
background-image
attribute on the slide’s heading. Only the “stretch” mode is supported, and the background image is centred around the slide in the image’s larger axis, matching the observed default behaviour of PowerPoint. - Add support for incremental lists (through same methods as in other slide writers) (#5689).
- Copy embedded fonts from reference doc.
- Include all themes in output archive.
- Fix list level numbering (#4828, #4663). In PowerPoint, the content of a top-level list is at the same level as the content of a top-level paragraph: the only difference is that a list style has been applied. Previously, the writer incremented the paragrap h level on each list, turning what should be top-level lists into second-level lists.
- Line up list continuation paragraphs. This commit
changes the
marL
andindent
values used for plain paragraphs and numbered lists, and changes the spacing defined in the reference doc master for bulleted lists. For paragraphs, there is now a left-indent taken from theotherStyle
in the master. For numbered lists, the number is positioned where the text would be if this were a plain paragraph, and the text is indented to the next level. This means that continuation paragraphs line up nicely with numbered lists. Existing reference docs may need to be modified so thatotherStyle
andbodyStyle
indent levels match, for this feature to work with them. - Consolidate text runs when possible (jgm). This slims down the output files by avoiding unnecessary text run elements.
- Support footers in the reference doc. There is one behaviour which may not be immediately obvious: if the reference doc specifies a fixed date (i.e. not automatically updating), and there’s a date specified in the metadata for the document, the footer date is replaced by the metadata date.
- Fix presentation rel numbering. Before now, the numbering of
rId
s was inconsistent when making the presentation XML and when making the presentation relationships XML. - Don’t add relationships unnecessarily. Before now, for any layouts added to the output from the default reference doc, the relationships were unconditionally added to the output. However, if there was already a layout in slideMaster1 at the same index then that results in duplicate relationships.
- If slide level is 0, don’t insert a slide break between a heading and a following table, “columns” div, or paragraph starting with an image.
- Fix capitalisation of
notesMasterId
. - Restructure tests.
-
Asciidoc writer:
- Translate numberLines attribute to
linesnum
switch (Samuel Tardieu). - Improve escaping for
--
in URLs (#7529).
- Translate numberLines attribute to
-
LaTeX writer:
- Make babel use more idiomatic (#7604, hseg). Use babel’s
bidi implementation. Import babel languages individually instead
of as package options. Move
header-includes
to afterbabel
setup so it can be modified. - Use babel, not polyglossia, with xelatex. Previously polyglossia worked better with xelatex, but that is no longer the case, so we simplify the code so that babel is used with all latex engines. This involves a change to the default LaTeX template.
- Make babel use more idiomatic (#7604, hseg). Use babel’s
bidi implementation. Import babel languages individually instead

-
Markdown writer:
- Avoid bad wraps at the Doc Text level. Previously we tried to do this at the Inline list level, but it makes more sense to intervene on breaking spaces at the Doc Text level.
- Use
underline
class rather thanul
for underline. This only affects output withbracketed_spans
enabled. The markdown reader parses spans with either.ul
or.underline
as Underline elements, but we’re moving towards preferring the latter.
-
RST writer:
- Properly handle anchors to ids with spaces or leading underscore
(#7593). In this cases we need the quoted form, e.g.
Side note: rST will “normalize” these identifiers anyway, ignoring the underscore... _`foo bar`: .. _`_foo`:
- Properly handle anchors to ids with spaces or leading underscore
(#7593). In this cases we need the quoted form, e.g.
-
HTML writer:
- Render
\ref
and\eqref
as inline math, not display (see #7589). - Pass through
\ref
and\eqref
if MathJax is used (#7587). - Pass through inline math environments with KaTeX.
- Support
--reference-location
for HTML output (#7461, Francesco Mazzoli). - Set “hash” to True by default (for reveal.js) (#7574). See #6968 where the motivation for setting “hash” to True is explained.
- Render
-
Native writer: Use pretty-show to format native output (#7580). Previously we used our own homespun formatting. But this produces over-long lines that aren’t ideal for diffs in tests. Performance is slower by about a factor of 10, but this isn’t really a problem because native isn’t suitable as a serialization format. (For serialization you should use json, because the reader is so much faster than native.)
-
Org writer:
- Don’t indent contents of code blocks. We previously indented them by two spaces, following a common convention. Since the convention is fading, and the indentation is inconvenient for copy/paste, we are discontinuing this practice.
- Update list of supported source languages in org writer (#5440).
-
Ipynb writer (Kolen Cheung):
- Improve round trip identity for raw cell output.
See jupyter/nbformat#229. The Jupyter ecosystem, including nbconvert,
lab and notebook, deviated from their own spec in nbformat, where
they used the key
raw_mimetype
instead offormat
. Moreover, the mime-type of rst used in Jupyter deviated from that suggested by https://docutils.sourceforge.io/FAQ.html and is defined astext/restructuredtext
when chosen from “Raw NBConvert Format” in Jupyter. The new behavior should matche the real world usage better, hence improving the round-trip “identity” in raw-cell. - Add more formats that can be handled as “raw” cells.
- Improve round trip identity for raw cell output.
See jupyter/nbformat#229. The Jupyter ecosystem, including nbconvert,
lab and notebook, deviated from their own spec in nbformat, where

-
EPUB writer:
- Add EPUB3 subject metadata (authority/term) (nuew).
This adds the ability to specify EPUB 3
authority
andterm
specific refinements to thesubject
tag. Specifying a plainsubject
tag in metadata will function as before. - Treat epub:type “frontispiece” as front matter (#7600).
- Add EPUB3 subject metadata (authority/term) (nuew).
This adds the ability to specify EPUB 3
-
reveal.js template: Fix line numbers in source code (#7634). We need
overflow: visible
for these to work, and reveal’s default css disables this. So we re-enable it in the default template. -
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared:
- Export
splitSentences
as a Doc Text transform [API change]. Use this in man/ms. We used to attempt automatic sentence splitting in man and ms output, since sentence-ending periods need to be followed by two spaces or a newline in these formats. But it’s difficult to do this reliably at the level of[Inline]
.
- Export
-
Text.Pandoc.Translations: small revisions for compatibility with aeson 2.
-
Don’t prepend
file://
to--syntax-definition
on Windows (#6374). This was a fix for a problem in skylighting, but this problem doesn’t exist now that we’ve moved from HXT to xml-conduit. -
Text.Pandoc.Extensions:
- Add
Ext_footnotes
to defaultgfm
etxensions. Nowgfm
supports footnotes. - Alphabetize Extension constructors (also affects
--list-extensions
).
- Add
-
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc.Util: Better implementation of
splitStrWhen
. Previously the citeproc code had two less efficient implementations. -
Update documentation for definition_list extension (#7594). In 2015, we relaxed indentation requirements for the first line of a definition (see commit d3544dc and issue #2087), but the documnentation wasn’t updated to reflect the change.
-
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc.BibTeX: Fix expansion of special strings in series e.g.
newseries
orlibrary
(#7591). Expansion should not happen when these strings are protected in braces, or when they’re capitalized. -
Text.Pandoc.Logging: add
NotUTF8Encoded
constructor toLogMessage
[API change]. -
Text.Pandoc.App.FormatHeuristics: remove
.tei.xml
extension for TEI (#7630). This never worked, becausetakeExtension
only returns.xml
. So it won’t be missed if we remove it. -
Text.Pandoc.Image:
- Generalize
svgToPng
to MonadIO. svgToPng
, change first parameter from WriterOptions to Int.
- Generalize
-
Text.Pandoc.Class:
- Add
readStdinStrict
method to PandocMonad [API change]. - Generalize type of
extractMedia
[API change]. It was uselessly restricted to PandocIO, instead of any instance of PandocMonad and MonadIO.
- Add
-
Text.Pandoc.Class.PandocIO: derive MonadCatch, MonadThrow, MonadMask. This allows us to use
withTempDir
[API change]. -
Add module Text.Pandoc.Class.Sandbox, defining

Text.Pandoc.Filter: Generalize type of
applyFilters
from PandocIO to any instance of MonadIO and PandocMonad [API change]. -
Text.Pandoc.PDF: generalize type of
makePDF
: instead of PandocIO, it can be used in any instance of PandocMonad, MonadIO, and MonadMask [API change]. -
Lua subsystem and custom writers: generalize types from PandocIO to any instance of PandocMonad and MonadIO [API change]. The type of
runLua
is now(PandocMonad m, MonadIO m) => LuaE PandocError a -> m (Either PandocError a)
The change from
Lua
toLuaE PandocError
is due to the switch to hslua-2.0; see next item. -
Lua modules (Albert Krewinkel):
- Switch to hslua-2.0. The new HsLua version takes a somewhat different approach to marshalling and unmarshalling, relying less on typeclasses and more on specialized types. This allows for better performance and improved error messages. Furthermore, new abstractions allow to document the code and exposed functions.
- Marshal Version values, Inline elements, Attr elements, and Pandoc elements as userdata.
- Remove deprecated inline constructors
DoubleQuoted
,SingleQuoted
,DisplayMath
, andInlineMath
. - Attr values are no longer normalized when assigned to an Inline element property.
- It’s no longer possible to access parts of Inline elements via
numerical indexes. E.g.,
pandoc.Span('test')[2]
used to givepandoc.Str 'test'
, but yieldsnil
now. This was undocumented behavior not intended to be used in user scripts. Use named properties instead. - Accessing
.c
to get a JSON-like tuple of all components no longer works. This was undocumented behavior. - Only known properties can be set on an element value. Trying to set a different property will now raise an error.
- Adds a new
pandoc.AttributeList()
constructor, which creates the associative attribute list that is used as the third component ofAttr
values. Values of this type can often be passed to constructors instead ofAttr
values. - Convert IOErrors to PandocErrors in
pandoc.pipe
function (#7523).
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF: Previously we had to run
runIOorExplode
insidewithTempDir
. Now that PandocIO is an instance of MonadMask, this is no longer necessary. -
Text.Pandoc.App:
- Reorganize to make it easier to limit IO in main loop. Previously we used liftIO fairly liberally. The code has been restructured to avoid this.
- Move output-file writing out of PandocMonad action.
-
Text.Pandoc.App.OutputSettings: Generalize some types so we can run this with any instance of PandocMonad and MonadIO, not just PandocIO.

Use
simpleFigure
builder in readers andSimpleFigure
pattern synonym in writers (Aner Lucero). -
Allow time 1.12.
-
Use skylighting-0.12, skylighting-core-0.12. This fixes highlighting issues with typescript, scala, and other syntaxes that include keyword lists from different syntaxes.
-
Use citeproc 0.6, commonmark 0.2.2.1, commonmark-extensions 0.2.2, texmath 0.12.3.2, ipynb 0.1.0.2. (These changes also allow building with aeson >= 2.)
-
Require doclayout >= 0.3.1.1. This fixes recognition of “real widths” of emoji characters, which is important for tabular layout.
-
Cut out over 100K of fat in epub test golden files.
-
Make
test/epub/wasteland.epub
valid. -
Add missing
%
on some command tests. This prevented--accept
from working properly. -
Command tests: raise error if command doesn’t begin with
%
. -
OOXML tests: use pretty-printed form to display diffs. Otherwise everything is on one line and the diff is uninformative.
-
Fix compareXML helper in Tests.Writers.OOXML. Given how it is used, we were getting “mine” and “good” flipped in the test results.

pandoc 2.14.2 (2021-08-21)
-
Allow
--slide-level=0
(#7476). When the slide level is set to 0, headings won’t be used at all in splitting the document into slides. Horizontal rules must be used to separate slides. -
Add RTF reader (#3982).
rtf
is now supported as an input format as well as an output format. New module Text.Pandoc.Readers.RTF (exportingreadRTF
). [API change] -
HTML reader: treat comments as blank when parsing (#7482).
-
Markdown reader:
- Fix raw LaTeX injection issue (#7497). Using a code block
containing
\end{verbatim}
, one could inject raw TeX into a LaTeX document even whenraw_tex
is disabled. Thanks to Augustin Laville for noticing the bug. - Multimarkdown sub- and superscripts (#5512, OCzarnecki).
Added an extension
short_subsuperscripts
which modifies the behavior ofsubscript
andsuperscript
, allowing subscripts or superscripts containing only alphanumerics to end with a space character (eg.x^2 = 4
orH~2 is combustible
). This improves support for multimarkdown.
- Fix raw LaTeX injection issue (#7497). Using a code block
containing
-
RST reader: Fix
:literal:
includes (#7513). These should create code blocks, not insert raw RST. -
LaTeX reader:
- Proper implicit grouping around environment macros.
- Support
\global
before\def
,\let
, etc. (#7494). - Fix scope for LaTeX macros (#7494). They should by default
scope over the group in which they are defined (except
\gdef
and\xdef
, which are global). In addition, environments must be treated as groups. - Improve handling of plain TeX macro primitives (#7474).
Fixed semantics for
\let
. - Implement
\edef
,\gdef
, and\xdef
.
-
Docx reader: Improve docx reader’s robustness in extracting images (#7511). The docx reader made some assumptions about how docx containers were laid out that were not always true, with the result that some images in documents did not get extracted.
-
LaTeX writer: Increase table column width precision (#7466, Peter Fabinski). In some cases, the rounding performed by the LaTeX table writer would introduce visible overrun outside the text area. This adds two more decimal places to the width values.
-
Powerpoint writer:
- Include image title in description (#7352, Emily Bourke). The
image title (i.e.
![alt text](link "title")
) was previously ignored when writing to pptx. This commit includes it in PowerPoint’s description of the image, along with the link. - Select layouts from reference doc by name (Emily Bourke). Until now, users had to make sure that their reference doc contains layouts in a specific order: the first four layouts in the file had to have a specific structure. Now the layout selection uses the layout names rather than order: users must make sure their reference doc contains four layouts with specific names, and if a layout with the right name isn’t found pandoc will emit a warning and use the corresponding layout from the default reference doc as a fallback.
- Include image title in description (#7352, Emily Bourke). The
image title (i.e.
-
Docx writer: be sensitive to the
native_numbering
extension (#7499). Figure and table numbers are now only included ifnative_numbering
is enabled. (By default it is disabled.) This is a behavior change with respect to 2.14.1, but the default behavior is now that of previous versions. The change was necessary to avoid incompatibilities between pandoc’s native numbering and third-party cross reference filters like pandoc-crossref. -
RTF writer:
- Omit
\bin
in\pict
. According to the spec, this is not needed or wanted when the data is in hexadecimal format, as here. - Emit `\outlinelevel`` for section headings.
- Omit
-
RTF template: specify font family for fixed-width font f1. According to the spec, this is mandatory.
-
LaTeX writer: Use ulem for underline (#7351). ulem is conditionally included already when the
strikeout
variable is set, so we set this when there is underlined text, and use\uline
instead of\underline
. This fixes wrapping for underlined text. -
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc:
- Revise citeproc code to fit new citeproc 0.5 API (thanks to
Benjamin Bray). Linkification of URLs in the bibliography
is now done in the citeproc library, depending on the
setting of an option. We set that option depending on the
value of the metadata field
link-bibliography
(defaulting to true, for consistency with earlier behavior). If a DOI, PMID, PMCID, or URL field is present but not explicitly rendered, the title (or if no title, the whole entry) is hyperlinked. These changes implement the recommendations from the draft CSL v1.0.2 spec (Appendix VI): https://github.com/citation-style-language/documentation/blob/master/specification.rst#appendix-vi-links - Avoid odd handling of quotes. Recent citeproc changes allow us to ignore Quoted elements; citeproc now uses its own method for represented quoted things, and only localizes and flipflops quotes it adds itself. Convert Quoted in bib entries to special Spans before passing them off to citeproc. This ensures that we get proper localization and flipflopping if, e.g., quotes are used in titles (jgm/citeproc#87).
- Removed quote localization from citeproc processing. This is now done in citeproc itself.
- Revise citeproc code to fit new citeproc 0.5 API (thanks to
Benjamin Bray). Linkification of URLs in the bibliography
is now done in the citeproc library, depending on the
setting of an option. We set that option depending on the

Text.Pandoc.Logging: Add PowerpointTemplateWarning log message type [API change] (Emily Bourke).
-
Text.Pandoc.Extension: Add
Ext_short_subsuperscripts
constructor toExtension
[API change] (OCzarnecki). -
Various sample.lua editorial fixes (#7493, #7487, William Lupton).
-
Bump base-compat version so we get compatibility with base 4.12.
-
Use Prelude from base-compat for ghc 8.4 too.
-
Add haskell-language-server to shell.nix (#7496, Emily Bourke).
-
Tests.Helpers: export testGolden and use it in RTF reader. This gives a diff output on failure.
-
Remove obsolete and incorrect sentence in
--slide-level
docs. -
Add internal module Text.Pandoc.Network.HTTP, exporting
urlEncode
. -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing:
parseFromString
: preserve at least the source directory (#7464). Previously we just set the source name to “chunk” when parsing from strings, to avoid misleading source positions. This had the side effect thatrebase_relative_paths
would break inside sections that were parsed as strings. So, now we use “ORIGINAL_SOURCE_PATH_chunk” instead of just “chunk”. -
Text.Pandoc.MIME: use image/x-xcf instead of application/x-xcf (#7454).
-
Don’t compare
cdLine
in OOXML golden tests (Emily Bourke). ThecdLine
field gives the line of the file some CData was found on, which reflects irrelevant formatting differences. -
Provide more detailed XML diff in tests (Emily Bourke).
-
OOXML tests: silence warnings. These can make the test output confusing, making people think tests are failing when they’re passing.
-
INSTALL.md: Add GitLab CI/CD example (#7448, Veratyr).
-
MANUAL.txt
- Clarifications (William Lupton).
- Add a note on security risks of include directives.
-
Document use of the ‘underline’ class (#7492, #7484, William Lupton).
-
Add a FAQ about the “Cannot allocate memory” error on M1 macs.
-
Use texmath 0.12.3.1.
-
Use released citeproc 0.5.
-
Remove dependency on HTTP package (#7456, mt_caret).
pandoc 2.14.1 (2021-07-18)
-
Text.Pandoc.ImageSize: Add Tiff constructor for ImageType (#7405) [Minor API change]. This allows pandoc to get size information from tiff images.
-
Markdown reader: don’t try to read contents in self-closing HTML tag. Previously we had problems parsing raw HTML with self-closing tags like
<col/>
. The problem was that pandoc would look for a closing tag to close the markdown contents, but the closing tag had, in effect, already been parsed byhtmlTag
. -
LaTeX reader:
- Avoid trailing hyphen in translating languages (#7447).
Previously
\foreignlanguage{english}
turned into<span lang="en-">
. The same issue affected Arabic. - Support
\cline
in LaTeX tables (#7442). - Improved parsing of raw LaTeX from Text streams (
rawLaTeXParser
, used to read LaTeX in Markdown files, #7434). We now use source positions from the token stream to tell us how much of the text stream to consume. Getting this to work required a few other changes to make token source positions accurate.
- Avoid trailing hyphen in translating languages (#7447).
Previously
-
DocBook reader:
- Handle images with imageobjectco elements (#7440).
- Add support for citerefentry (#7437, Jan Tojnar).
-
RST reader: fix regression with code includes (#7436). With the recent changes to include infrastructure, included code blocks were getting an extra newline.
-
HTML reader:
- Recognize data-external when reading HTML img tags (#7429,
Michael Hoffmann). Preserve all attributes in img tags. If attributes
have a
data-
prefix, it will be stripped. In particular, this preserves adata-external
attribute as anexternal
attribute in the pandoc AST. - Add col, colgroup to ‘closes’ definitions
- Recognize data-external when reading HTML img tags (#7429,
Michael Hoffmann). Preserve all attributes in img tags. If attributes
have a
-
HTML writer:
- Remove duplicated alt text in HTML output (Aner Lucero).
- Remove
aria-hidden
when explicit alt text is provided (Aner Lucero). - Set boolean values for reveal.js variables.
-
Docx writer:
- Add table numbering for captioned tables. The numbers are added using fields, so that Word can create a list of tables that will update automatically.
- Support figure numbers. These are set up in such a way that they will work with Word’s automatic table of figures (#7392).
-
Markdown writer: put space between Plain and following fenced Div (#4465).
-
EPUB writer: Don’t incorporate externally linked images in EPUB documents (#7430, Michael Hoffmann). Just as it is possible to avoid incorporating an image in EPUB by passing
data-external="1"
to a raw HTML snippet, this makes the same possible for native Images, by looking for an associatedexternal
attribute. -
Text.Pandoc.PDF:
- Fix
svgIn
path error (#7431). We were duplicating the temp directory; this didn’t cause problems on macOS or linux because there we use absolute paths for the temp directory. But on Windows it caused errors converting SVG files. convertImage
: normalize paths (#7431). This will avoid paths on Windows with mixed path separators.
- Fix
-
Text.Pandoc.Class: Always use / when adding directory to image destination with
extractMedia
, even on Windows. -
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc:
- Allow
$
characters in bibtex keys (#7409). - Set proper initial source name in parsing BibTeX (for better error messages.)
- Revamp note citation handling (#7394). Use latest citeproc, which uses a Span with a class rather than a Note for notes. This helps us distinguish between user notes and citation notes. Don’t put citations at the beginning of a note in parentheses. Fix small bug in handling of citations in notes, which led to commas at the end of sentences in some cases.
- Cleanup and efficiency improvement in
deNote
. - Improve punctuation moving with
--citeproc
. Previously, using--citeproc
could cause punctuation to move in quotes even when there aer no citations. This has been changed; punctuation moving is now limited to citations. In addition, we only move footnotes around punctuation if the style is a note style, even ifnotes-after-punctuation
istrue
.
- Allow
-
Use citeproc 0.10. This helps improve note citations (see above) and eliminates double hyperlinks in author-in-text citations. Author-only citations are no longer hyperlinked. See jgm/citeproc#77. It also fixes moving of punctuation inside quotes to conform to the CSL spec: only comma and period are moved, not question mark or exclamation point.
-
Text.Pandoc.Error: fix line calculations in reporting parsec errors. Also remove a spurious initial newline in the error report.
-
Use doctemplates 0.4.1, which gives us better support for boolean variable values. Previously
$if(foo)$
would evaluate to true for variables with booleanfalse
values, because it cared only about the string rendering (#7402). -
Require commonmark-pandoc >= 0.2.2.1. This fixes task lists with multiple paragraphs.
-
Use skylighting 0.11.
-
CSS in HTML template: reset overflow-wrap on code blocks (Mauro Bieg, #7423).
-
LaTeX template: Revert change in PR #7295: “move title, author, date up to top of preamble.” The change caused problem for people who used LaTeX commands defined defined later in the preamble in the title or author fields (#7422).
-
Add
doc/faqs.md
. This is imported from the website; in the future the website version will be drawn from here. Added a FAQ on the use of\AtEndPreamble
for cases when the contents ofheader-includes
need to refer to definitions that come later in the preamble. See #7422. -
Upgrade Debian 10 AMI for build-arm.sh.
-
CircleCI: change to using xcode 11.1.0 (macOS 10.14.4). We previously built on 10.13, but 10.13 no longer gets security updates and CirclCI is deprecating.
pandoc 2.14.0.3 (2021-06-22)
- Text.Pandoc.MediaBag
insertMediaBag
: ensure we get a sane mediaPath for URLs (#7391). In earlier 2.14.x versions, we’d get incorrect paths for resources downloaded from URLs when the media are extracted (including in PDF production). - Text.Pandoc.Parsing: improve
emailAddress
(#7398). Previously the parser would accept characters in domains that are illegal in domains, and this sometimes caused it to gobble bits of the following text. - txt2tags reader: modify the email address parser so
it still includes form parameters, even after the change to
emailAddress
in Text.Pandoc.Parsing. - Text.Pandoc.Readers.Metadata: Fix regression with comment-only YAML metadata blocks (#7400).
- reveal.js writer and template: better handling of options. Previously
it was impossible to specify false values for options that default to
true (e.g.
center
); setting the option to false just caused the portion of the template setting the option to be omitted. Now we prepopulate all the variables with their default values, including them all unconditionally and allowing them to be overridden. - Markdown writer: Fix regression in code blocks with attributes (#7397). Code blocks with a single class but nonempty attributes were having attributes drop as a result of #7242.
- LaTeX writer:
- Add strut at end of minipage if it contains line breaks. Without them, the last line is not as tall as it should be in some cases.
- Always use a minipage for cells with line breaks, when width information is available (#7393). Otherwise the way we treat them can lead to content that overflows a cell.
- Use
\strut
instead of~
before\\
in empty line.
- Use lts-18.0 stack resolver.
- Require skylighting 0.10.5.2 (adding support for Swift).
- Require commonmark 0.2.1.
- Rephrase section on unsafe HTML in manual.
- Create SECURITY.md
pandoc 2.14.0.2 (2021-06-13)
-
Fix MediaBag regressions (#7345). iIn the 2.14 release
--extract-media
stopped working as before; there could be mismatches between the paths in the rendered document and the extracted media. This patch makes several changes that restore the earlier behavior (while keeping the same API). ThemediaPath
in 2.14 was always constructed from the SHA1 hash of the media contents. Now, we preserve the original path unless it’s an absolute path or contains..
segments (in that case we use a path based on the SHA1 hash of the contents).In Text.Pandoc.MediaBag,
mediaDirectory
andmediaItems
now use themediaPath
, rather than the mediabag key, for the first component of the tuple. This makes more sense, I think, and fits with the documentation of these functions; eventually, though, we should rework the API so thatmediaItems
returns both the keys and the MediaItems.In Text.Pandoc.Class.IO, rewriting of source paths in
extractMedia
has been fixed.In Text.Pandoc.Class.PandocMonad,
fillMediaBag
has been modified so that it doesn’t modify image paths (that was part of the problem in #7345).We now do path normalization (e.g.
\
separators on Windows) in writing the media. -
Text.Pandoc.PDF:
- Text.Pandoc.PDF: Fix regression in 2.14 for generation of PDFs with SVGs (#7344).
- Only print relevant part of environment on
--verbose
. Since--verbose
output might be put in an issue, we want to avoid spilling out secrets in environment variables.
-
Markdown reader: fix pipe table regression in 2.11.4 (#7343). Previously pipe tables with empty headers (that is, a header line with all empty cells) would be rendered as headerless tables. This broke in 2.11.4. The fix here is to produce an AST with an empty table head when a pipe table has all empty header cells.
-
LaTeX reader: don’t allow optional
*
on symbol control sequences (#7340). Generally we allow optional starred variants of LaTeX commands (since many allow them, and if we don’t accept these explicitly, ignoring the star usually gives acceptable results). But we don’t want to do this for\(*\)
and similar cases. -
Docx reader: handle absolute URIs in Relationship Target (#7374).
-
Docx writer: fix handling of empty table headers (Albert Krewinkel, #7369). A table header which does not contain any cells is now treated as an empty header.
-
LaTeX writer: Fix regression in table header position (#7347). In recent versions the table headers were no longer bottom-aligned (if more than one line). This patch fixes that by using minipages for table headers in non-simple tables.
-
CommonMark writer:
- Do not use simple class for fenced-divs (Jan Tojnar, amends #7242.)
- Do not throw away attributes when
Ext_attributes
is enabled.Ext_attributes
covers at least the following:Ext_fenced_code_attributes
,Ext_header_attributes
,Ext_inline_code_attributes
,Ext_link_attributes
.
-
Markdown writer:
- Allow
pipe_tables
to be disabled for commonmark formats (commonmark_x
,gfm
) (#7375). - Re-use functions from Text.Pandoc.Markdown.Inline (Jan Tojnar).
- Allow
-
DocBook writer: Remove non-existent admonitions (Jan Tojnar).
attention
,error
andhint
are reStructuredText specific. -
HTML writer: Don’t omit width attribute on div (#7342).
-
Text.Pandoc.MIME,
extensionFromMimeType
: add a few special cases. When we do a reverse lookup in the MIME table, we just get the last match, so when the same mime type is associated with several different extensions, we sometimes got weird results, e.g..vs
fortext/plain
. These special cases help us get the most standard extensions for mime types liketext/plain
. -
Lua utils: fix handling of table headers in
from_simple_table
(Albert Krewinkel, #7369). Passing an empty list of header cells now results in an empty table header. -
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc:
- Avoid duplicate classes and attributes on references div.
- Fix regression in citeproc processing (#7376). If inline
references are used (in the metadata
references
field), we should still only include in the bibliography items that are actually cited (unlessnocite
is used).
-
Require citeproc 0.4.0.1. This fixes a bug which led to doubled “et al.” in some (rare) circumstances.
-
MANUAL.txt:
- Mention GladTeX for EPUB export (Sebastian Humenda). This updates the manual and the web site about the GladTeX usage.
- More details and a useful link for YAML syntax.
-
CONTRIBUTING.md: update modules overview (Albert Krewinkel).
-
using-the-pandoc-api.md: switch from String to Text (Albert Krewinkel).
pandoc 2.14.0.1 (2021-06-01)
-
Commonmark reader: Fix regression in 2.14 with YAML metdata block parsing, which could cause the document body to be omitted after metadata (#7339).
-
HTML reader: fix column width regression in 2.14 (#7334). Column widths specified with a style attribute were off by a factor of 100.
-
Markdown reader: in
rebasePaths
, check for both Windows and Posix absolute paths. Previously Windows pandoc was treating/foo/bar.jpg
as non-absolute. -
Text.Pandoc.Logging: In rendering
LoadedResource
, use relative paths. -
Docx writer: fix regression on captions (#7328). The “Table Caption” style was no longer getting applied. (It was overwritten by “Compact.”)
-
Use commonmark-extensions 0.2.1.2
pandoc 2.14 (2021-05-28)
-
Change reader types, allowing better tracking of source positions [API change]. Previously, when multiple file arguments were provided, pandoc simply concatenated them and passed the contents to the readers, which took a Text argument. As a result, the readers had no way of knowing which file was the source of any particular bit of text. This meant that we couldn’t report accurate source positions on errors or include accurate source positions as attributes in the AST. More seriously, it meant that we couldn’t resolve resource paths relative to the files containing them (see e.g. #5501, #6632, #6384, #3752).
-
Add
rebase_relative_paths
extension (#3752). When enabled, this extension rewrites relative image and link paths by prepending the (relative) directory of the containing file. This behavior is useful when your input sources are split into multiple files, across several directories, with files referring to images stored in the same directory. The extension can be enabled for all markdown and commonmark-based formats. -
Add Text.Pandoc.Sources (exported module), with a
Sources
type and aToSources
class. ASources
wraps a list of(SourcePos, Text)
pairs [API change]. A parsecStream
instance is provided forSources
. The module also exports versions of parsec’ssatisfy
and other Char parsers that track source positions accurately from aSources
stream (or any instance of the newUpdateSourcePos
class). -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
- Export the modified Char parsers defined in Text.Pandoc.Sources
instead of the ones parsec provides. Modified parsers to use a
Sources
as stream [API change]. - Improve include file functions [API change]. Remove old
insertIncludedFileF
. GiveinsertIncludedFile
a more general type, allowing it to be used whereinsertIncludedFileF
was. - Add parameter to the
citeKey
parser from Text.Pandoc.Parsing, which controls whether the@{..}
syntax is allowed [API change].
- Export the modified Char parsers defined in Text.Pandoc.Sources
instead of the ones parsec provides. Modified parsers to use a
-
Text.Pandoc.Error: Modified the constructor
PandocParsecError
to take aSources
rather than aText
as first argument, so parse error locations can be accurately reported. -
Fix source position reporting for YAML bibliographies (#7273).
-
Issue error message when reader or writer format is malformed (#7231). Previously we exited with an error status but (due to a bug) no message.
-
Smarter smart quotes (#7216, #2103). Treat a leading
"
with no closing"
as a left curly quote. This supports the practice, in fiction, of continuing paragraphs quoting the same speaker without an end quote. It also helps with quotes that break over lines in line blocks. -
Markdown reader:
- Use MetaInlines not MetaBlocks for multimarkdown metadata fields. This gives better results in converting to e.g. pandoc markdown.
- Implement curly-brace syntax for Markdown citation keys (#6026).
The change provides a way to use citation keys that contain
special characters not usable with the standard citation key syntax.
Example:
@{foo_bar{x}'}
for the keyfoo_bar{x}
. It also allows separating citation keys from immediately following text, e.g.@{foo}A
.
-
RST reader:
- Seek include files in the directory of the file containing the include directive, as RST requires (#6632).
- Use
insertIncludedFile
from Text.Pandoc.Parsing instead of reproducing much of its code.
-
Org reader: Resolve org includes relative to the directory containing the file containing the INCLUDE directive (#5501).
-
ODT reader: Treat tabs as spaces (#7185, niszet).
-
Docx reader:
- Add handling of vml image objects (#7257, mbrackeantidot).
- Support new table features (Emily Bourke, #6316): column spans, row spans, multiple header rows, table description (parsed as a simple caption), captions, column widths.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Improved siunitx support (#6658, #6620).
- Better support for
\xspace
(#7299). - Improve parsing of
\def
macros. We previously set “verbatim mode” even for parsing the initial\def
; this caused problems for\def
nested inside another\def
. - Implement
\newif
.
-
ConTeXt writer: improve ordered lists (#5016, Denis Maier). Change ordered list from itemize to enumerate. Add new itemgroup for ordered lists. Remove manual insertion of width attributes. Use tabular figures in ordered list enumerators.
-
HTML reader:
- Don’t fail on unmatched closing “script” tag (Albert Krenkel, #7282).
- Keep h1 tags as normal headers (#2293, Albert Krewinkel).
The tags
<title>
and<h1 class="title">
often contain the same information, so the latter was dropped from the document. However, as this can lead to loss of information, the heading is now always retained. Use--shift-heading-level-by=-1
to turn the<h1>
into the document title, or a filter to restore the previous behavior. - Handle relative lengths (e.g.
2*
) in HTML column widths (#4063). See https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#h-6.6.
-
DocBook/JATS readers:
- Fix mathml regression caused by the switch in XML libraries (#7173).
- Fix “phrase” in DocBook: take classes from “role” not “class” (#7195).
-
DocBook reader: ensure that first and last names are separated (#6541).
-
Jira reader (Albert Krewinkel, #7218):
- Support “smart” links:
[alias|https://example.com|smart-card]
syntax. - Allow spaces and most unicode characters in attachment links.
- No longer require a newline character after
{noformat}
. - Only allow URI path segment characters in bare links.
- The
file:
schema is no longer allowed in bare links; these rarely make sense.
- Support “smart” links:
-
Plain writer: handle superscript unicode minus (#7276).
-
LaTeX writer:
- Better handling of line breaks in simple tables (#7272). Now we also handle the case where they’re embedded in other elements, e.g. spans.
- For beamer output, support
exampleblock
andalertblock
(#7278). A block will be rendered as anexampleblock
if the heading has classexample
and analertblock
if it has classalert
. - Separate successive quote chars with thin space (#6958, Albert Krewinkel). Successive quote characters are separated with a thin space to improve readability and to prevent unwanted ligatures. Detection of these quotes sometimes had failed if the second quote was nested in a span element.
- Separate successive quote chars with thin space (#6958, Albert Krewinkel).
-
EPUB Writer: Fix belongs-to-collection XML id choice (#7267, nuew). The epub writer previously used the same XML id for both the book identifier and the epub collection. This causes an error on epubcheck.
-
BibTeX/BibLaTeX writer: Handle
annote
field (#7266). -
ZimWiki writer: allow links and emphasis in headers (#6605, Albert Krewinkel).
-
ConTeXt writer:
- Support blank lines in line blocks (#6564, Albert Krewinkel, thanks to @denismaier).
- Use span identifiers as reference anchors (#7246, Albert Krewinkel).
-
HTML writer:
- Keep attributes from code nested below
pre
tag (#7221, Albert Krewinkel). If a code block is defined with<pre><code class="language-x">…</code></pre>
, where the<pre>
element has no attributes, then the attributes from the<code>
element are used instead. Any leadinglanguage-
prefix is dropped in the code’sclass
attribute are dropped to improve syntax highlighting. - Ensure headings only have valid attribs in HTML4 (#5944, Albert Krewinkel).
- Parse
<header>
as a Div (Albert Krewinkel).
- Keep attributes from code nested below
-
Org writer:
- Inline latex envs need newlines (#7252, tecosaur). As specified in https://orgmode.org/manual/LaTeX-fragments.html, an inline \begin{}…\end{} LaTeX block must start on a new line.
- Use LaTeX style maths deliminators (#7196, tecosaur).
-
JATS writer (Albert Krewinkel):
- Use either styled-content or named-content for spans (#7211).
If the element has a content-type attribute, or at least one class,
then that value is used as
content-type
and the span is put inside a<named-content>
element. Otherwise a<styled-content>
element is used instead. - Reduce unnecessary use of
<p>
elements for wrapping (#7227). The<p>
element is used for wrapping in cases were the contents would otherwise not be allowed in a certain context. Unnecessary wrapping is avoided, especially around quotes (<disp-quote>
elements). - Convert spans to
<named-content>
elements (#7211). Spans with attributes are converted to<named-content>
elements instead of being wrapped with<milestone-start/>
and<milestone-end>
elements. Milestone elements are not allowed in documents using the articleauthoring tag set, so this change ensures the creation of valid documents. - Add footnote number as label in backmatter (#7210). Footnotes in the backmatter are given the footnote’s number as a label. The articleauthoring output is unaffected from this change, as footnotes are placed inline there.
- Escape disallows chars in identifiers. XML identifiers must start
with an underscore or letter, and can contain only a limited set
of punctuation characters. Any IDs not adhering to these rules are
rewritten by writing the offending characters as
Uxxxx
, wherexxxx
is the character’s hex code.
- Use either styled-content or named-content for spans (#7211).
If the element has a content-type attribute, or at least one class,
then that value is used as
-
Jira writer: use
{color}
when span has a color attribute (Albert Krewinkel, tarleb/jira-wiki-markup#10). -
Docx writer:
- Autoset table width if no column has an explicit width (Albert Krewinkel).
- Extract Table handling into separate module (Albert Krewinkel).
- Support colspans and rowspans in tables (Albert Krewinkel, #6315).
- Support multirow table headers (Albert Krewinkel).
- Improve integration of settings from reference.docx (#1209).
This change allows users to create a reference.docx that
sets
w:proofState
for spelling or grammar todirty
, so that spell/grammar checking will be triggered on the generated docx. - Copy over more settings from reference.docx (#7240). From settings.xml
in the reference-doc, we now include:
zoom
,embedSystemFonts
,doNotTrackMoves
,defaultTabStop
,drawingGridHorizontalSpacing
,drawingGridVerticalSpacing
,displayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery
,displayVerticalDrawingGridEvery
,characterSpacingControl
,savePreviewPicture
,mathPr
,themeFontLang
,decimalSymbol
,listSeparator
,autoHyphenation
,compat
. - Set zoom to 100% by default in settings.xml.
- Align math options more with current Word defaults (e.g. Cambria Math font).
- Remove
rsid
s from default settings.xml. Word will add these when revisions are made.
-
Ms writer: Handle tables with multiple paragraphs (#7288). Previously they overflowed the table cell width. We now set line lengths per-cell and restore them after the table has been written.
-
Markdown writer:
- Use cleaner braceless syntax for code blocks with a single class (#7242, Jan Tojnar).
- Add quotes properly in markdown YAML metadata fields (#7245). This fixes a bug, which caused the writer to look at the last rather than the first character in determining whether quotes were needed. So we got spurious quotes in some cases and didn’t get necessary quotes in others.
- Use
@{..}
syntax for citations when needed. - Use fewer unneeded escapes for
#
(see #6259). - Improve escaping of
@
. We need to escape literal@
before{
because of the new citation syntax.
-
Commonmark writer: Use backslash escapes for
<
and|
… instead of entities (#7208). -
Powerpoint writer: allow
monofont
to be specified in metadata (#7187). -
LaTeX template:
- Use non-starred names for xcolor color names (#6109). This should make svgnames and x11names work properly.
- Fix bad vertical spacing after bibliography (#7234, badumont).
- List of figures before list of tables (#7235, Julien Dutant).
- Move CSL macro definitions before header-includes so they can be overridden (#7286).
- Improve treatment of CSL
entry-spacing
(#7296). Previously with the default template settings (indent
variable not set), we would get interparagraph spaces separating bib entries even withentry-spacing="0"
. On the other hand, settingentry-spacing="2"
gave ridiculously large spacing. This change makes the spacing caused byentry-spacing
a multiple of\parskip
by default, which gives aesthetically reasonable output. Those who want a larger or smaller unit (e.g. because they useindent
which sets\parskip
to 0) may\setlength{\cslentryspacingunit}{10pt}
in header-includes to override the defaults. - Move title, author, date up to top of preamble (#7295). This allows header-includes to use them, and puts them in a position where you can see them immediately.
- Define commands for zero width non-joiner character (#6639, Albert Krewinkel). The zero-width non-joiner character is used to avoid ligatures (e.g. in German).

Text.Pandoc.Extensions: Add constructor
Ext_rebase_relative_paths
toExtensions
[API change]. -
Text.Pandoc.XML.Light: add Eq, Ord instances for Content, Element, Attr, CDataKind [API change].
-
Text.Pandoc.MediaBag:
- Change type to use a
Text
key instead of[FilePath]
. We normalize the path and use/
separators for consistency. - Export
MediaItem
type [API change]. - Change
MediaBag
type to a map from Text to MediaItem [API change]. lookupMedia
now returns aMediaItem
[API change].- Change
insertMedia
so it sets themediaPath
to a filename based on the SHA1 hash of the contents. This will be used when contents are extracted.
- Change type to use a
-
Text.Pandoc.Class.PandocMonad:
- Remove
fetchMediaResource
[API change]. UsefetchItem
to get resources infillMediaBag
. - Add informational message in
downloadOrRead
indicating what path local resources have been loaded from.
- Remove
-
Text.Pandoc.Logging:
- Remove single quotes around paths in messages.
- Add LoadedResource constructor to LogMessage [API change]. This is for INFO-level messages telling where image data has been loaded from. (This can vary because of the resource path.)
-
Text.Pandoc.Asciify: simplify code and export
toAsciiText
[API change]. Instead of encoding a giant (and incomplete) map, we now just use unicode-transforms to normalize the text to a canonical decomposition, and manipulate the result. -
App: allow tabs expansion even if file-scope is used (Albert Krewinkel, #6709). Tabs in plain-text inputs are now handled correctly, even if the
--file-scope
flag is used. -
Add new internal module Text.Pandoc.Writers.GridTable (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Text.Pandoc.Highlighting: Change type of
languagesByExtension
, adding a parameter for aSyntaxMap
[API change] (Jan Tojnar, #7241). Languages defined using--syntax-definition
were not recognized bylanguagesByExtension
. This patch corrects that, allowing the writers to see all custom definitions. The LaTeX writer still uses the default syntax map, but that’s okay in that context, since--syntax-definition
won’t create new listings styles. -
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc:
- Ensure that CSL-related attributes are passed on to a Div with id
‘refs’. Otherwise things like
entry-spacing
won’t work when such Divs are used. - Use metadata’s
lang
for the lang parameter of citeproc, overridinglocaleLanguage
. - Recognize locators spelled with a capital letter (#7323).
- Add a comma and a space in front of the suffix if it doesn’t start with space or punctuation (#7324).
- Don’t detect math elements as locators (#7321).
- Ensure that CSL-related attributes are passed on to a Div with id
‘refs’. Otherwise things like
-
Remove Text.Pandoc.BCP47 module [API change]. Use types and functions from UnicodeCollation.Lang instead. This is a richer implementation of BCP 47.
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared:
- Fix regression in grid tables for wide characters (#7214).
In the translation from String to Text, a char-width-sensitive
splitAt'
was dropped. This commit reinstates it and uses it to makesplitTextByInstances
char-width sensitive. - Add
getLang
(formerly in the now-removed BCP47) [API change].
- Fix regression in grid tables for wide characters (#7214).
In the translation from String to Text, a char-width-sensitive

Text.Pandoc.SelfContained: use
application/octet-stream
for unknown mime types instead of halting with an error (#7202). -
Lua filters: respect Inlines/Blocks filter functions in
pandoc.walk_*
(Albert Krewinkel). -
Add text as build-depend for trypandoc (#7193, Roman Beránek).
-
Bump upper-bounds for network-uri, time, attoparsec.

Allow compilation with base 4.15 (Albert Krewinkel).
-
MANUAL:
- Add information about
lang
and bibliography sorting. - Add info about YAML escape sequences, link to spec (#7152, Albert Krewinkel).
- Note that

variable works for HTML-based slides. - Update documentation on citation syntax.
- Add citation example for locators and suffixes (Tristan Stenner)
- Add information about

Updated and fixed typos in documentation (Charanjit Singh, Anti-Distinctlyminty, Tatiana Porras, obcat).
-
Add instructions for installing pandoc-types before compiling filter.
-
INSTALL: add note that parallel installations should be avoided (#6865).
-
Remove
biblatex-nussbaum.md
test. It is basically the same asbiblaetx-quotes.md
. -
Command tests: fail if a file contains no tests—and fix a test that failed in that way!
-
Use smaller images in tests, reducing the size of the source tarball by 8 MB.
pandoc 2.13 (2021-03-21)
-
Support
yaml_metadata_block
extension forcommonmark
,gfm
(#6537). This supported is a bit more limited than with pandoc’smarkdown
. The YAML block must be the first thing in the input, and the leaf notes are parsed in isolation from the rest of the document. So, for example, you can’t use reference links if the references are defined later in the document. -
Fix fallback to default partials when custom templates are used. If the directory containing a template does not contain the partial, it should be sought in the default templates, but this was not working properly (#7164).
-
Handle
nocite
better with--biblatex
and--natbib
(#4585). Previously the nocite metadata field was ignored with these formats. Now it populates anocite-ids
template variable and causes a\nocite
command to be issued. -
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc: apply
fixLinks
correctly (#7130). This is code that incorporates a prefix likehttps://doi.org/
into a following link when appropriate. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared:
- Remove
backslashEscapes
,escapeStringUsing
[API change]. Replace these inefficient association list lookups with more efficient escaping functions in the writers that used them (for a 10-25% performance boost in org, haddock, rtf, texinfo writers). - Remove
ToString
,ToText
typeclasses [API change]. These were needed for the transition from String to Text, but they are no longer used and may clash with other things. - Simplify
compactDL
.
- Remove
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing:
- Change type of
readWithM
so that it is no longer polymorphic [API change]. TheToText
class has been removed, and now that we’ve completed the transition to Text we no longer need this to operate on Strings. - Remove
F
type synonym [API change]. Muse and Org were defining their ownF
anyway.
- Change type of
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Metadata:
- Export
yamlMetaBlock
[API change]. - Make
yamlBsToMeta
,yamlBsToRefs
polymorphic on the parser state [API change].
- Export
-
Markdown reader: Fix regression with
tex_math_backslash
(#7155). -
MediaWiki reader: Allow block-level content in notes (ref) (#7145).
-
Jira reader (Albert Krewinkel):
- Fixed parsing of autolinks (i.e., of bare URLs in the text). Previously an autolink would take up the rest of a line, as spaces were allowed characters in these items.
- Emoji character sequences no longer cause parsing failures. This was due to missing backtracking when emoji parsing fails.
- Mark divs created from panels with class “panel”.
-
RST reader: fix logic for ending comments (#7134). Previously comments sometimes got extended too far.
-
DocBook writer: include Header attributes as XML attributes on section (Erik Rask). Attributes with key names that are not allowed as XML attributes are dropped, as are attributes with invalid values and
xml:id
(DocBook 5) andid
(DocBook 4). -
Docx writer:
- Make
nsid
inabstractNum
deterministic. Previously we assigned a random number, but we don’t need random values, so now we just assign a value based on the list marker. - Use integral values for
w:tblW
(#7141).
- Make
-
Jira writer (Albert Krewinkel):
- Block quotes are only rendered as
bq.
if they do not contain a linebreak. - Jira writer: improve div/panel handling. Include div attributes in
panels, always render divs with class
panel
as panels, and avoid nesting of panels.
- Block quotes are only rendered as
-
HTML writer: Add warnings on duplicate attribute values. This prevents emitting invalid HTML. Ultimately it would be good to prevent this in the types themselves, but this is better for now.
-
Org writer: Prevent unintended creation of ordered list items (#7132, Albert Krewinkel). Adjust line wrapping if default wrapping would cause a line to be read as an ordered list item.
-
JATS templates: support ‘equal-contrib’ attrib for authors (Albert Krewinkel). Authors who contributed equally to a paper may be marked with
equal-contrib
. -
reveal.js template: replace JS comment with HTML (#7154, Florian Kohrt).
-
Text.Pandoc.Logging: Add
DuplicateAttribute
constructor toLogMessage
. [API change] -
Use
-j4
for linux release build. This speeds up the build dramatically on arm. -
cabal.project: remove ghcoptions. Move flags to top level, so they can be set differently on the command line.
-
Require latest texmath, skylighting, citeproc, jira-wiki-markup. (The latest skylighting fixes a bad bug with Haskell syntax highlighting.) Narrow version bounds for texmath, skylighting, and citeproc, since the test output depend on them.
-
Use doclayout 0.3.0.2. This significantly reduces the time and memory needed to compile pandoc.
-
Use
foldl'
instead offoldl
everywhere. -
Update bounds for random (#7156, Alexey Kuleshevich).
-
Remove uses of some partial functions.
-
Don’t bake in a larger stack size for the executable.
-
Test improvements:
- Use
getExecutablePath
from base, avoiding the dependency onexecutable-path
. - Factor out
setupEnvironment
in Helpers, to avoid code duplication. - Fix finding of data files by setting teh
pandoc_datadir
environment variable when we shell out to pandoc. This avoids the need to use--data-dir
for the tests, which caused problems findingpandoc.lua
when compiling without theembed_data_files
flag (#7163).
- Use
-
Benchmark improvements:
- Build
+RTS -A8m -RTS
into default ghc-options for benchmark. This is necessary to get accurate benchmark results; otherwise we are largely measuring garbage collecting, some not related to the current benchmark. - Allow specifying BASELINE file in ‘make bench’ for comparison (otherwise the latest benchmark is chosen by default).
- Force
readFile
in benchmarks early (Bodigrim).
- Build
-
CONTRIBUTING: suggest using a
cabal.project.local
file (#7153, Albert Krewinkel). -
Add ghcid-test to Makefile. This loads the test suite in ghcid.
pandoc 2.12 (2021-03-08)
-
--resource-path
now accumulates if specified multiple times (#6152). Resource paths specified later on the command line are prepended to those specified earlier. Thus,--resource-path foo --resource-path bar:baz
is equivalent to--resource-path bar:bas:foo
. (The previous behavior was for the last--resource-path
to replace all the rest.)resource-path
in defaults files behaves the same way: it will be prepended to the resource path set by earlier command line options or defaults files. This change facilitates the use of multiple defaults files: each can specify a directory containing resources it refers to without clobbering the resource paths set by the others. -
Allow defaults files to refer to the home directory, the user data directory, and the directory containing the defaults file itself (#5871, #5982, #5977). In fields that expect file paths (and only in these fields),
${VARIABLE}
will expand to the value of the environment variableVARIABLE
(and in particular${HOME}
will expand to the path of the home directory). A warning will be raised for undefined variables.${USERDATA}
will expand to the path of the user data directory in force when the defaults file is being processed.${.}
will expand to the directory containing the defaults file. (This allows default files to be placed in a directory containing resources they make use of.)
-
When downloading content from URL arguments, be sensitive to the character encoding (#5600). We can properly handle UTF-8 and latin1 (ISO-8859-1); for others we raise an error. Fall back to latin1 if no charset is given in the mime type and UTF-8 decoding fails.
-
Allow abbreviations that don’t end in a period to be specified using
--abbreviations
(#7124). -
Add new unexported module Text.Pandoc.XML.Light, as well as Text.Pandoc.XML.Light.Types, Text.Pantoc.XML.Light.Proc, Text.Pandoc.XML.Light.Output. (Closes #6001, #6565, #7091).
This module exports definitions of
Element
andContent
that are isomorphic to xml-light’s, but with Text instead of String. This allows us to keep most of the code in existing readers that use xml-light, but avoid lots of unnecessary allocation.We also add versions of the functions from xml-light’s Text.XML.Light.Output and Text.XML.Light.Proc that operate on our modified XML types, and functions that convert xml-light types to our types (since some of our dependencies, like texmath, use xml-light).
We export functions that use xml-conduit’s parser to produce an
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 (with docbook, opml, jats, and docx almost twice as fast, odt and fb2 more than twice as fast).
In addition, the new parser gives us better error reporting than xml-light. We report XML errors, when possible, using the new
PandocXMLError
constructor inPandocError
.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.
-
DocBook reader:
- Avoid expensive tree normalization step, as it is not necessary with the new XML parser.
- Support
informalfigure
(#7079) (Nils Carlson).
-
Docx reader:
- Use Map instead of list for Namespaces. This gives a speedup of about 5-10%. With this and the XML parsing changes, the docx reader is now about twice as fast as in the previous release.
-
HTML reader:
- Small performance tweaks.
- Also, remove exported class
NamedTag(..)
[API change]. This was just intended to smooth over the transition from String to Text and is no longer needed. - As a result, the functions
isInlineTag
andisBlockTag
are no longer polymorphic; they apply to aTag Text
[API change]. - Do a lookahead to find the right parser to use. This takes benchmarks from 34ms to 23ms, with less allocation.
- Fix bad handling of empty
src
attribute iniframe
(#7099). Ifsrc
is empty, we simply skip theiframe
. Ifsrc
is invalid or cannot be fetched, we issue a warning nd skip instead of failing with an error.
-
JATS reader:
- Avoid tree normalization, which is no longer necessary given the new XML parser.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Don’t export
tokenize
,untokenize
[API change]. These are internal implementation details, which were only exported for testing. They don’t belong in the public API. - Improved efficiency of the parser. With these changes the reader is almost twice as fast as in the last release in our benchmarks.
- Code cleanup, removing some unnecessary things.
- Rewrite
withRaw
so it doesn’t rely on fragile assumptions about token positions (which break when macros are expanded) (#7092). This requires the addition ofsEnableWithRaw
andsRawTokens
inLaTeXState
, and a new combinatordisablingWithRaw
to disable collecting of raw tokens in certain contexts. AddparseFromToks
to Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX.Parsing. Fix parsing of single character tokens so it doesn’t mess up the new raw token collecting. These changes slightly increase allocations and have a small performance impact. - Handle some bibtex/biblatex-specific commands that used to be dealt with in pandoc-citeproc (#7049).
- Optimize
satisfyTok
, avoiding unnecessary macro expansion steps. Benchmarks after this change show 2/3 of the run time and 2/3 of the allocation of the Feb. 10 benchmarks. - Removed
sExpanded
in state. This isn’t actually needed and checking it doesn’t change anything. - Improve
braced'
. Remove the parameter, have it parse the opening brace, and make it more efficient. - Factor out pieces of the LaTeX reader to make the module smaller. This reduces memory demands when compiling. Created Text.Pandoc.Readers.{LaTeX,Math,Citation,Table,Macro,Inline}. Changed Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX.SIunitx to export a command map instead of individual commands.
- Handle table cells containing
&
in\verb
(#7129).
- Don’t export
-
Make Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX.Types an unexported module [API change].
-
Markdown reader:
- Improved handling of mmd link attributes in references (#7080). Previously they only worked for links that had titles.
- Improved efficiency of the parser (benchmarks show a 15% speedup).
-
OPML reader:
- Avoid tree normalization, which is no longer necessary with the new XML parser.
-
ODT reader:
- Finer-grained errors on parse failure (#7091).
- Give more information if the zip container can’t be unpacked.
-
Org reader:
- Support
task_lists
extension (Albert Krewinkel, #6336). - Fix bug in org-ref citation parsing (Albert Krewinkel, #7101). The org-ref syntax allows to list multiple citations separated by comma. Previously commas were accepted as part of the citation id, so all citation lists were parsed as one single citation.
- Support
-
RST reader:
- Use
getTimestamp
instead ofgetCurrentTime
to fetch timestamp. SettingSOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
will allow reproducible builds. - RST reader: fix handling of header in CSV tables (#7064). The interpretation of this line is not affected by the delim option.
- Use
-
Jira reader:
- Modified the Doc parser to skip leading blank lines. This fixes parsing of documents which start with multiple blank lines (Albert Krewinkel, #7095).
- Prevent URLs within link aliases to be treated as autolinks (Albert Krewinkel, #6944).
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared
- Remove formerly exported functions that are no longer used in the
code base:
splitByIndices
,splitStringByIndicies
,substitute
, andunderlineSpan
(which had been deprecated in April 2020) [API change]. - Export
handleTaskListItem
(Albert Krewinkel) [API change]. - Change
defaultUserDataDirs
todefaultUserDataDir
[API change]. We determine what is the default user data directory by seeing whether the XDG directory and/or legacy directory exist.
- Remove formerly exported functions that are no longer used in the
code base:
-
BibTeX writer:
- BibTeX writer: use doclayout and doctemplate. This change allows
bibtex/biblatex output to wrap as other formats do,
depending on the settings of

(#7068).
- BibTeX writer: use doclayout and doctemplate. This change allows
bibtex/biblatex output to wrap as other formats do,

for timestamp. SettingSOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
will allow reproducible builds.
- Use

EPUB writer:
- Use
getTimestamp
instead ofgetCurrentTime
for timestamp. SettingSOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
will allow reproducible builds (#7093). This does not suffice to fully enable reproducible in EPUB, since a unique id is still being generated for each build. - Support
belongs-to-collection
metadata (#7063) (Nick Berendsen).
- Use
-
JATS writer:
- Escape special chars in reference elements (Albert Krewinkel). Prevents the generation of invalid markup if a citation element contains an ampersand or another character with a special meaning in XML.
-
Jira writer:
- Use Span identifiers as anchors (Albert Krewinkel).
- Use
{noformat}

LaTeX writer:
- Adjust hypertargets to beginnings of paragraphs (#7078).
Use
\vadjust pre

ODT writer:
- Use
getTimestamp
instead ofgetCurrentTime
for timestamp. SettingSOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
will allow reproducible builds. - Update default ODT style (Lorenzo). Previously, the “First paragraph”
style inherited from “Standard” but not from “Text body.” Now
it is adjusted to inherit from “Text body”, to avoid some ugly
spacing issues. It may be necessary to update a custom
reference.odt
in light of this change.

JATS templates: tag
author.name
asstring-name
(Albert Krewinkel). The partitioning the components of a name into surname, given names, etc. is not always possible or not available. Usingauthor.name
allows to give the full name as a fallback to be used whenauthor.surname
is not available. -
Add default templates for bibtex and biblatex, so that the variables

Text.Pandoc.Citeproc.BibTeX
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc.writeBibTeXString
now returnsDoc Text
instead ofText
(#7068).- Correctly handle

langid
(=language
in CSL, #7067). - In BibTeX output, protect foreign titles since there’s no language field (#7067).
- Clean up BibTeX parsing (#7049). Previously there was a messy code
path that gave strange results in some cases, not passing through raw
tex but trying to extract a string content. This was an artefact of
trying to handle some special bibtex-specific commands in the BibTeX
reader. Now we just handle these in the LaTeX reader and simplify
parsing in the BibTeX reader. This does mean that more raw tex will
be passed through (and currently this is not sensitive to the
raw_tex
extension; this should be fixed).
-
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc.MetaValue
- Correctly parse “raw” date value in markdown references metadata. (See jgm/citeproc#53.)
-
Text.Pandoc.Citeproc
- Use https URLs for links (Salim B, #7122).
-
Text.Pandoc.Class
- Add
getTimestamp
[API change]. This attempts to read theSOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
environment variable and parse a UTC time from it (treating it as a unix date stamp, see https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/). If the variable is not set or can’t be parsed as a unix date stamp, then the function returns the current date.

Text.Pandoc.Extensions
Ext_task_lists
is now supported by org (and turned on by default) (Albert Krewinkel, #6336).- Remove
Ext_fenced_code_attributes
from allowed commonmark attributes (#7097). This attribute was listed as allowed, but it didn’t actually do anything. Useattributes
for code attributes and more.
-
Lua subsystem:
- Always load built-in Lua scripts from default data-dir (Albert
Krewinkel). The Lua modules
pandoc
andpandoc.List
are now always loaded from the system’s default data directory. Loading from a different directory by overriding the default path, e.g. via--data-dir
, is no longer supported to avoid unexpected behavior and to address security concerns. - Add module “pandoc.path” (Albert Krewinkel, #6001, #6565). The module allows to work with file paths in a convenient and platform-independent manner.
- Use strict evaluation when retrieving AST value from the stack (Albert Krewinkel, #6674).
- Always load built-in Lua scripts from default data-dir (Albert

-
Text.Pandoc.CSV:
- Fix parsing of unquoted values (#7112). Previously we didn’t allow unescaped quotes in unquoted values, but they are allowed in CSV.
-
Test suite:
- Use a more robust method for testing the executable. Many
of our tests require running the pandoc executable. This
is problematic for a few different reasons. First,
cabal-install will sometimes run the test suite after
building the library but before building the executable,
which means the executable isn’t in place for the tests.
One can work around that by first building, then building
and running the tests, but that’s fragile. Second, we
have to find the executable. So far, we’ve done that using
a function
findPandoc
that attempts to locate it relative to the test executable (which can be located using findExecutablePath). But the logic here is delicate and work with every combination of options. To solve both problems, we add an--emulate
option to thetest-pandoc
executable. When--emulate
occurs as the first argument passed totest-pandoc
, the program simply emulates the regular pandoc executable, using the rest of the arguments (after--emulate
). Thus,test-pandoc --emulate -f markdown -t latex
is just likepandoc -f markdown -t latex
. Since all the work is done by library functions, implementing this emulation just takes a couple lines of code and should be entirely reliable. With this change, we can test the pandoc executable by running the test program itself (locatable usingfindExecutablePath
) with the--emulate
option. This removes the need for the fragilefindPandoc
step, and it means we can run our integration tests even when we’re just building the library, not the executable. [Note: part of this change involved simplifying some complex handling to set environment variables for dynamic library paths. I have tested a build with--enable-dynamic-executable
, and it works, but further testing may be needed.] - Print accurate location if a test fails (Albert
Krewinkel). Ensures that tasty-hunit reports the location
of the failing test instead of the location of the helper
test
function.

Require citeproc 0.3.0.8, which correctly titlecases when titles contain non-ASCII characters.
-
Use skylighting 0.10.4. This version of skylighting uses xml-conduit rather than hxt. This speeds up parsing of XML syntax definitions fourfold, and removes four packages from pandoc’s dependency graph: hxt-charproperties, hxt-unicode, hxt-regex-xmlschema, hxt.

Benchmarks
- Use the lighter-weight tasty-bench instead of criterion.
- Run writer benchmarks for binary formats too.
- Alphabetize benchmarks.
- Don’t run benchmarks for bibliography formats (yet; we need a special input for them).
- Show allocation data
- Clean up benchmark code.
- Allow specifying patterns using `-p blah’.

Implement defaults file inheritance (#6924, David Martschenko). Allow defaults files to inherit options from other defaults files by specifying them with the following syntax:
defaults: [list of defaults files or single defaults file]

Fix infinite HTTP requests when writing epubs from URL source (#7013). Due to a bug in code added to avoid overwriting the cover image if it had the form
fileX.YYY
, pandoc made an endless sequence of HTTP requests when writing epub with input from a URL. -
Org reader:
- Allow multiple pipe chars in todo sequences (Albert Krewinkel, #7014).
Additional pipe chars, used to separate “action” state from “no further
action” states, are ignored. E.g., for the following sequence, both
DONE
andFINISHED
are states with no further action required:#+TODO: UNFINISHED | DONE | FINISHED
. - Restructure output of captioned code blocks (Albert Krewinkel, #6977). The Div wrapper of code blocks with captions now has the class “captioned-content”. The caption itself is added as a Plain block inside a Div of class “caption”. This makes it easier to write filters which match on captioned code blocks. Existing filters will need to be updated.
- Mark verbatim code with class

- Revert table line height increase in 2.11.3 (#6996).
In 2.11.3 we started adding
\addlinespace
, which produced less dense tables. This wasn’t an intentional change; I misunderstood a comment in the discussion leading up to the change. This commit restores the earlier default table appearance. Note that if you want a less dense table, you can use something like\def\arraystretch{1.5}
in your header.

Docx writer:
- Handle table header using styles (#7008). Instead of hard-coding the border and header cell vertical alignment, we now let this be determined by the Table style, making use of Word’s “conditional formatting” for the table’s first row. For headerless tables, we use the tblLook element to tell Word not to apply conditional first-row formatting.

Commonmark writer:
- Implement start number on ordered lists (#7009). Previously they always started at 1, but according to the spec the start number is respected.

Text.Pandoc.Parsing: modify
gridTableWith'
for headerless tables. If the table lacks a header, the header row should be an empty list. Previously we got a list of empty cells, which caused an empty header to be emitted instead of no header. In LaTeX/PDF output that meant we got a double top line with space between. -
ImageSize: use
viewBox

HTML reader: use renderTags’ from Text.Pandoc.Shared (Albert Krewinkel). A side effect of this change is that empty
<col>
elements are written as self-closing tags in raw HTML blocks. -
Asciidoc writer: Add support for writing nested tables (#6972, timo-a). Asciidoc supports one level of nesting. If deeper tables are to be written, they are omitted and a warning is issued.
-
Docx writer: fix nested tables with captions (#6983). Previously we got unreadable content, because docx seems to want a
<w:p>
element (even an empty one) at the end of every table cell. -
Powerpoint writer: allow arbitrary OOXML in raw inline elements (Albert Krewinkel). The raw text is now included verbatim in the output. Previously is was parsed into XML elements, which prevented the inclusion of partial XML snippets.
-
LaTeX writer: support colspans and rowspans in tables (#6950, Albert Krewinkel). Note that the multirow package is needed for rowspans. It is included in the latex template under a variable, so that it won’t be used unless needed for a table.
-
HTML writer: don’t include p tags in CSL bibliography entries (#6966). Fixes a regression in 2.11.3.
-
Add
meta-description
variable to HTML templates (#6982). This is populated by the writer by stringifying thedescription
field of metadata (Jerry Sky). Thedescription
meta tag will make the generated HTML documents more complete and SEO-friendly. -
Citeproc: fix handling of empty URL variables (
DOI
, etc.). ThelinkifyVariables
function was changing these to links which then got treated as non-empty by citeproc, leading to wrong results (e.g. ignoring nonempty URL when empty DOI is present). See jgm/citeproc#41. -
Use citeproc 0.3.0.3. Fixes an issue in author-only citations when both an author and translator are present, and an issue with citation group delimiters.
-
Require texmath 0.12.1. This improves siunitx support in math, fixes bugs with
\*mod
family operators and arrays, and avoids italicizing symbols and operator names in docx output. -
Ensure that the perl interpreter used for filters with

MANUAL: note that textarea content is never parsed as Markdown (Albert Krewinkel).
pandoc 2.11.3.1 (2020-12-18)
-
Added some missing files to extra-source-files and data files, so they are included in the sdist tarball. Closes #6961. Cleaned up some extraneous data and test files, and added a CI check to ensure that the test and data files included in the sdist match what is in the git repository.
-
Use citeproc 0.3.0.1, which avoids removing nonbreaking space at the end of the
initialize-with
attribute. (Some journals require nonbreaking space after initials, and this makes that possible.)
pandoc 2.11.3 (2020-12-17)
-
With
--bibliography
(orbibliography
in metadata), a URL may now be provided, and pandoc will fetch the resource. In addition, if a file path is provided and it is not found relative to the working directory, the resource path will be searched (#6940). -
Add
sourcepos
extension forcommonmark
,gfm
,commonmark_x
(#4565). With thesourcepos
extension set set,data-pos
attributes are added to the AST by the commonmark reader. No other readers are affected. Thedata-pos
attributes are put on elements that accept attributes; for other elements, an enlosing Div or Span is added to hold the attributes. -
Change extensions for
commonmark_x
: replaceauto_identifiers
withgfm_auto_identifiers
(#6863).commonmark_x
never actually supportedauto_identifiers
(it didn’t do anything), because the underlying library implements gfm-style identifiers only. Attempts to add theauto_identifiers
extension tocommonmark
will now fail with an error. -
HTML reader:
- Split module into several submodules (Albert Krewinkel). Reducing module size should reduce memory use during compilation.
- Support advanced table features (Albert Krewinkel): block level content in captions, row and colspans, body headers, row head columns, footers, attributes.
- Disable round-trip testing for tables. Information for cell alignment in a column is not preserved during round-trips (Albert Krewinkel).
- Allow finer grained options for tag omission (Albert Krewinkel).
- Simplify list attribute handling (Albert Krewinkel).
- Pay attention to
lang
attributes on body element (#6938). These (as well aslang
attributes on the html element) should update lang in metadata. - Retain attribute prefixes and avoid duplicates (#6938).
Previously we stripped attribute prefixes, reading
xml:lang
aslang
for example. This resulted in two duplicatelang
attributes whenxml:lang
andlang
were both used. This commit causes the prefixes to be retained, and also avoids invald duplicate attributes.

Dokuwiki reader:
- Handle unknown interwiki links better (#6932).
DokuWiki lets the user define his own Interwiki links. Previously
pandoc reacted to these by emitting a google search link, which is

wikilink prefix, e.g.
faquk>FAQ-mathml
. This at least gives users the ability to modify the links using filters.

RST writer:
- Better image handling (#6948). An image alone in its paragraph
(but not a figure) is now rendered as an independent image, with an
alt
attribute if a description is supplied. An inline image that is not alone in its paragraph will be rendered, as before, using a substitution. Such an image cannot have a “center”, “left”, or “right” alignment, so the classesalign-center
,align-left
, oralign-right
are ignored. However,align-top

Docx writer:
- Keep raw openxml strings verbatim (#6933, Albert Krewinkel).
- Use Content instead of Element. This allows us to inject raw OpenXML into the document without reparsing it into an Element, which is necessary if you want to inject an open tag or close tag.
- Fix bullets/lists indentation, so that the first level is slightly indented to the right instead of right on the margin (cholonam).
- Support bold and italic in “complex script” (#6911). Previously bold and italics didn’t work properly in LTR text. This commit causes the w:bCs and w:iCs attributes to be used, in addition to w:b and w:i, for bold and italics respectively.

OpenDocument writer:
- Support for table width as a percentage of text width (#6792, Nils Carson).
- Implement Div and Span ident support (#6755, Nils Carson). Spans and Divs containing an ident in the Attr will become bookmarks or sections with idents in OpenDocument format.
- Add two extensions,
xrefs_name
andxrefs_number
(#6774, Nils Carlson). Links to headings, figures and tables inside the document are substituted with cross-references that will use the name or caption of the referenced item forxrefs_name
or the number forxrefs_number
. For thexrefs_number
to be useful heading numbers must be enabled in the generated document and table and figure captions must be enabled using for example thenative_numbering
extension. In order for numbers and reference text to be updated the generated document must be refreshed.

DocBook5 should always use

. - Handle admonition titles better (Jan Tojnar).
Docbook reader produces a
Div
withtitle
class for<title>
element within an “admonition” element. Markdown writer then turns this into a fenced div withtitle
class attribute. Since fenced divs are block elements, their content is recognized as a paragraph by the Markdown reader. This is an issue for Docbook writer because it would produce an invalid DocBook document from such AST – the<title>
element can only contain “inline” elements. Handle this special case separately by unwrapping the paragraph before creating the<title>
element. - Add XML namespaces to top-level elements (#6923, Jan Tojnar).
Previously, we only added
xmlns
attributes to chapter elements, even when running with--top-level-division=section
. These namespaces are now added to part and section elements too, when they are the selected top-level divisions. We do not need to add namespaces to documents produced with--standalone
flag, since those will already have xmlns attribute on the root element in the template.

EPUB templates: use preserveAspectRatio=“xMidYMid” for cover image (#6895, Shin Sang-jae). This change affects both the epub2 and the epub3 templates. It avoids distortion of the cover image by requiring that the aspect ratio be preserved.
-
LaTeX template:
- Include
csquotes
package ifcsquotes
variable set. - Put back
amssymb
. We need it for checkboxes in todo lists, and maybe for other things. In this location it seems compatible with the cases that prompted #6469 and PR #6762. - Disable language-specific shorthands in babel (#6817, #6887).
Babel defines “shorthands” for some languages, and these can
produce unexpected results. For example, in Spanish,
1.22
gets rendered as122
, andet~al.
asetal
. One would think that babel’sshorthands=off
option (which we were using) would disable these, but it doesn’t. So we removeshorthands=off
and add some code that redefines the shorthands macro. Eventually this will be fixed in babel, I hope, and we can revert to something simpler.
- Include

JATS template: allow array of persistent institute ids in

Text.Pandoc.Citeproc:
- Fix truncation of
[Citation]
list inCite
inside footnotes (#6890). This affected author-in-text citations in footnotes. It didn’t cause problems for the printed output, but for filters that expected the citation id and other information. - Allow the use of both inline and external references (#6951), as with pandoc-citeproc. References defined in the document’s metadata take priority over references with the same id defined in an external bibliography.
- Use
fetchItem
to get external bibliography (#6940). - Ensure that BCP47 lang codes can be used. We ignore the variants and just use the base lang code and country code when passing off to citeproc.
- Citeproc BibTeX parser: revert change in
getRawField
which was made (for reasons forgotten) when transferring this code from pandoc-citeproc. The change led to--
in URLs being interpreted as en-dashes, which is unwanted (#6874).
- Fix truncation of

Text.Pandoc.ImageSize:
- Default to DPI 72 if the format specifies DPI of 0 (#6880). This shouldn’t happen, in general, but it can happen with JPEGs that don’t conform to the spec. Having a DPI of 0 will blow up size calculations (division by 0).
- ImageSize: use JuicyPixels to determine size for png, jpeg, and gif, instead of doing our own binary parsing (#6936). This gives more reliable results.
-
Text.Pandoc.CSS:
- Remove
foldOrElse
(internal module) (Albert Krewinkel).
- Remove
-
Use skylighting 0.10.2 (#6625).
-
Use citeproc 0.3. This fixes issues with references with duplicate ids (jgm/citeproc#36).
-
Use doctemplates 0.9. This fixes issues with boolean metadata values in the Markdown writer (#6388) and in
meta-json
(#6650). It also fixes issues with nested for loops in templates. -
Add translations zh-Hans.yaml and zh-Hant.yaml (#6904, #6909, Kolen Cheung, taotieren).
-
Add tests: True to cabal.project. This fixes some CI failures for cabal.
-
Normalize test/tables/*.native (#6888, Kolen Cheung).
-
Move executable to
app
directory to avoid problems with cabal repl. -
CONTRIBUTING: add section “How can I help?” (#6892, Albert Krewinkel). Also adds a paragraph aimed at highlighting the importance of feature maintenance.

MANUAL: Document that –number-sections works in
ms
(#6935).
pandoc 2.11.2 (2020-11-19)
-
Default to using ATX (
##
-style) headings for Markdown output (#6662, Aner Lucero). Previously we used Setext (underlined) headings by default for levels 1–2. -
Add option
--markdown-headings=atx|setext
, and deprecate--atx-headers
(#6662, Aner Lucero). -
Support
markdown-headings
in defaults files. -
Fix corner case in YAML metadata parsing (#6823). Previously YAML metadata would sometimes not get recognized if a field ended with a newline followed by spaces.
-
--self-contained
: increase coverage (#6854). Previously we only self-contained attributes for certain tag names (img
,embed
,video
,input
,audio
,source
,track
,section
). Now we self-contain any occurrence ofsrc
,data-src
,poster
, ordata-background-image
, on any tag; and alsohref
onlink
tags. -
Markdown reader:
- Fix detection of locators following in-text citations.
Prevously, if we had
@foo [p. 33; @bar]
, thep. 33
would be incorrectly parsed as a prefix of@bar
rather than a suffix of@foo
. - Improve period suppression algorithm for citations in notes in note citation styles (#6835).
- Don’t increment
stateNoteNumber
for example list references. This helps with #6836 (a bug in which example list references disturb calculation of citation note number and affect whenibid
is triggered).
- Fix detection of locators following in-text citations.
Prevously, if we had
-
LaTeX reader:
- Move
getNextNumber
from Readers.LaTeX to Readers.LaTeX.Parsing. - Fix negative numbers in siunitx commands. A change in pandoc 2.11
broke negative numbers, e.g.
\SI{-33}{\celcius}
or\num{-3}
. This fixes the regression.
- Move
-
DocBook reader: drop period in formalpara title and put it in a div with class
formalpara-title
, so that people can reformat with filters (#6562). -
Man reader: improve handling of
.IP
(#6858). We now better handle.IP
when it is used with non-bullet, non-numbered lists, creating a definition list. We also skip blank lines like groff itself. -
Bibtex reader: fall back on
en-US
if locale for LANG not found. This reproduces earlier pandoc-citeproc behavior (jgm/citeproc#26). -
JATS writer:
- Wrap all tables (Albert Krewinkel).
All
<table>
elements are put inside<table-wrap>
elements, as the former are not valid as immediate child elements of<body>
. - Move Table handling to separate module (Albert Krewinkel). Adds two new unexported modules: Text.Pandoc.Writers.JATS.Types, Text.Pandoc.Writers.JATS.Table.
- Wrap all tables (Albert Krewinkel).
All
-
Org writer:
- Replace org #+KEYWORDS with #+keywords (TEC). As of ~2 years ago, lower case keywords became the standard (though they are handled case insensitive, as always).
- Update org supported languages and identifiers according to the current list contained in https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/index.html (TEC).
-
Only use
filterIpynbOutput
if input format is ipynb (#6841). Before this change content could go missing from divs with classoutput
, even when non-ipynb was being converted. -
When checking reader/writer name, check base name now that we permit extensions on formats other than markdown.
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF: Fix
changePathSeparators
for Windows (#6173). Previously a path beginning with a drive, likeC:\foo\bar
, was translated toC:\/foo/bar
, which caused problems. With this fix, the backslashes are removed. -
Text.Pandoc.Logging:
- Add constructor
ATXHeadingInLHS
toLogMessage
[API change]. - Add constructor
EnvironmentVariableUndefined
toLogMessage
[API change].

, anddisplay
, since these require strings. AddshowSlideNumber
,hashOneBasedIndex

Use citeproc 0.2. This fixes a bug with title case around parentheses.
-
pandoc.cabal: remove ‘static’ flag. This isn’t really necessary and can be misleading (e.g. on macOS, where a fully static build isn’t possible). cabal’s new option
--enable-executable-static
does the same. On stack you can add something like this to the options for your executable in package.yaml:ld-options: -static -pthread
-
Remove obsolete bibutils flag setting in
linux/make_artifacts.sh

pandoc 2.11.1.1 (2020-11-07)
-
Citeproc: improve punctuation in in-text note citations (#6813). Previously in-text note citations inside a footnote would sometimes have the final period stripped, even if it was needed (e.g. on the end of ‘ibid’).
-
Use citeproc 0.1.1.1. This improves the decision about when to use
ibid
in cases where citations are used inside a footnote (#6813). -
Support
nocase
spans forcsljson

-
DocBook Reader: fix duplicate bibliography bug (#6773, Nils Carlson).
-
HTML reader:
- Parse contents of iframes (#6770).
- Parse inline svg as image unless
raw_html
is set in the reader (in which case the svg is passed through as raw HTML) (#6770).
-
LaTeX reader:
- Fix bug parsing macro arguments (#6796). If
\cL
is defined as\mathcal{L}
, and\til
as\tilde{#1}
, then\til\cL
should expand to\tilde{\mathcal{L}}
, but pandoc was expanding it to\tilde\mathcal{L}
. This is fixed by parsing the arguments in “verbatim mode” when the macro expands arguments at the point of use. - Properly support optional (cite) argument for
\blockquote
fromcsquotes
(#6802).
- Fix bug parsing macro arguments (#6796). If
-
LaTeX writer: Improved calculation of table column widths. We now have LaTeX do the calculation, using
\tabcolsep
. So we should now have accurate relative column widths no matter what the text width. The default template has been modified to load the calc package if tables are used. -
HTML writer: Fix duplicate “class” attribute for table rows (Andy Morris).
-
Text.Pandoc.Filter: allow shorter YAML representation of Citeproc (Albert Krewinkel). The map-based YAML representation of filters expects
type
andpath
fields. The path field had to be present for all filter types, but is not used for citeproc filters. The field can now be omitted when type is “citeproc”, as described in the MANUAL. -
Text.Pandoc.Error: Add
PandocBibliographyError
constructor forPandocError
[API change]. This ensures that bibliography parsing errors generate messages that include the bibliography file name – otherwise it can be quite mysterious where it is coming from. -
Citeproc: properly handle
csl
field withdata:
URI (#6783). This is used with the JATS writer, so this fixes a regression in pandoc 2.11 with JATS output and citeproc. -
Allow
citation-abbreviations
in defaults file. -
JATS templates: ensure
jats_publishing
output is valid (Albert Krewinkel). -
LaTeX template: Fix
CSLRightInline
, so that it does not run over the right margin. -
HTML template: default CSS tweaks (Mauro Bieg and John MacFarlane).
- Fix margin before codeblock
- Add
monobackgroundcolor
variable, making the background color and padding of code optional. - Ensure that backgrounds from highlighting styles take precedence over monobackgroundcolor
- Remove list markers from TOC
- Add margin-bottom where needed
- Remove italics from blockquote styling
- Change borders and spacing in tables to be more consistent with other output formats
- Style h5, h6
- Set font-size for print media to 12pt.
- Reduce interline space.
- Reduce interparagraph space.
- Reduce line width.
- Remove the special
line-height: 1
for table cells. - Remove the special line-height for pre.
- Ensure that there is a bit more space before a heading than after.
- Slightly reduced space after title header.
- Add CSS example to MANUAL
-
man template: Change comment that triggers
tbl
from.\"t
to'\" t
, as specified in groff_man(7) (#6803). -
Use latest commonmark, commonmark-extensions. This fixes a bug with nested blocks in footnotes with the
footnote
extension tocommonmark
. See jgm/commonmark-hs#63. -
Citeproc: use comma for in-text citations inside footnotes. When an author-in-text citation like
@foo
occurs in a footnote, we now render it with:AUTHOR NAME + COMMA + SPACE + REST
. Previously we rendered:AUTHOR NAME + SPACE + "(" + REST + ")"
. This gives better results. Note that normal citations are still rendered in parentheses. -
Use latest citeproc:
- citeproc no longer capitalizes notes, so we do it in pandoc when appropriate.
- Closes #6783.
-
Clarify manual on
--track-changes
(#6801). -
Add
doc/jats.md
to document pandoc’s handling of JATS (#6794, Albert Krewinkel). -
Fix code example in lua-filters.md (#6795).
pandoc 2.11.0.4 (2020-10-21)
-
Commonmark writer: fix regression with fenced divs (#6768). Starting with 2.10.1, fenced divs no longer render with HTML div tags in commonmark output. This is a regression due to our transition from cmark-gfm. This commit fixes it.
-
Use released version of citeproc. (This fixes a mis-step in the 2.11.0.3 release, which is now deprecated.)
-
Use latest sylighting, with support for
groovy
. -
Document that –html-q-tags requires the smart extension on the reader (#6766).
pandoc 2.11.0.3 (2020-10-20)
-
Use latest citeproc (closes #6765). This fixes a problem with author-in-text citations for references including both an author and an editor. Previously, both were included in the text, but only the author should be.
-
With
--citeproc
, ensure that the final period is removed when citations that occur in notes in note-based styles get put in parentheses. See jgm/citeproc#20. -
Normalize rewritten image paths with
--extract-media
(#6761). This change will avoid mixed paths like this one when--extract-media
is used with a Word file:![](C:\Git\TIJ4\Markdown/media/image30.wmf)
. Instead we’ll get![](C:\Git\TIJ4\Markdown
mediaimage30.wmf)
. -
Modify
--version
output. Use space more efficiently and report the citeproc and ipynb versions, along with skylighting, texmath, and pandoc-types. Drop the word “default” before “user data directory.” -
DocBook reader: bibliomisc and anchor support (#6754, Nils Carlson). Also ensure that bibliodiv without a title no longer results in an empty Header.
-
ConTeXt template: adds
\setupinterlinespace
to fonts larger than normal (#6763, Denis Maier). -
LaTeX template: Do not load amssymb if not needed (#6469, Angelo Peronio). See https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/549938.
-
Relax upper bound on hslua, allow hslua-1.3.* (Albert Krewinkel).
-
MANUAL:
- Improve explanation of “indent” variable (#6767, Cyrus Yip).
- Remove org from list of input formats supporting raw_tex (#6753, Nick Fleisher).
pandoc 2.11.0.2 (2020-10-15)
-
Fix handling of
xdata
in bibtex/biblatex bibliographies (#6752). -
Fix some small typos in the API documentation (#6751, Michael Hoffmann).
-
Require citeproc 0.1.0.2. This fixes a regression from pandoc-citeproc involving spacing between components of a reference in certain styles (e.g.
cell.csl
). -
Fix typos in comments, doc strings, error messages, and tests (Albert Krewinkel, #6738).
pandoc 2.11.0.1 (2020-10-13)
-
LaTeX reader: support more acronym commands (#6746):
\acl
,\aclp
, and capitalized versions of already supported commands. -
Commonmark reader: add
pipe_table
extension after defaults (#6739). Otherwise we get bad results for non-table, non-paragraph lines containing pipe characters. -
Markdown writer: Fix autolinks rendering for gfm (#6740). Previously, autolinks rendered as raw HTML, due to the
class="uri"
added by pandoc’s markdown reader. -
LaTeX writer:
- Escape option values in lstlistings environment (#6742).
- Fix handling of
lang
pt-BR
(#2953). For polyglossia we now use\setmainlanguage[variant=brazilian]{portuguese}
and for babel\usepackage[shorthands=off,main=brazilian]{babel}
.
-
Depend on latest citeproc (0.1.0.1).
- This fixes the citation number issue with ieee.csl and other styles that do not explicitly sort bibliographies (#6741). (Pandoc was numbering them by their order in the bibliography file, rather than the order cited, as required by the CSL spec.)
- Fixes groupin/collapsing with citation items with prefixes.
-
default.latex: fix
CSLReference
macro definition. -
Fix MANUAL.txt CSL JSON conversion examples.
-
Fix spelling errors in changelog, MANUAL.txt,
doc/org.md
(#6738).
pandoc 2.11 (2020-10-11)
-
Add
--citeproc
(-C
) option to trigger built-in citation processing. It is no longer necessary to use the externalpandoc-citeproc
filter.--citeproc
behaves like a filter and can be positioned relative to other filters as they appear on the command line.The new built-in citation processing uses the citeproc library, a reimplementation of CSL citation processing that fixes many of the shortcomings of pandoc-citeproc. In general, citation processing should work much the same as it did with pandoc-citeproc, but with greater fidelity to CSL styles and better performance. (The tests from the pandoc-citeproc package have been carried over to pandoc.) The following differences should be noted:
-
At this point, only some of the writers (HTML, ms, LaTeX) properly interpret CSL display styles. You should get decent output in all formats (at least as good as with pandoc-citeproc), but indentation and block-alignment may not be right.
-
pandoc-citeproc searches the
~/.csl
directory for.csl
styles. Pandoc instead searches thecsl
subdirectory of the pandoc user data directory (e.g.,~/.pandoc/csl
or~/.local/share/pandoc/csl
). Users who already keep CSL styles in~/.csl
may find it convenient to add a symlink. -
Some of the bibliography formats supported by pandoc-citeproc (via hs-bibutils) are no longer supported: Copac, EndNote, ISI, MEDLINE, MODS, and RIS. If you use one of these formats, you may use the
bibutils
utility to convert to BibLaTeX. We now support only BibTeX, BibLaTeX, CSL JSON, and pandoc’s YAML/Markdown analogue of CSL JSON. -
pandoc-citeproc would always retrieve the independent parent of a dependent style by doing an HTTP request. pandoc will now first seek the independent parent locally (in the resource path or in the
csl
subdirectory of the pandoc user data directory) before resorting to HTTP. In addition, you may omit the.csl
extension, e.g.--csl zoology
. -
Using the
--bibliography
option (or includingbibliography
in YAML metadata) no longer triggers citation processing implicitly: one must always use the--citeproc
option if citation processing is wanted.
-
-
Add
csljson
as and input and output format. This allows pandoc to convert betweencsljson
and other bibliography formats (e.g.-f csljson -t markdown -s
or-f bibtex -t csljson
), and to generate formatted versions of CSL JSON bibliographies (e.g.,pandoc -f csljson --citeproc pl.json -o pl.pdf
). -
Added
bibtex
,biblatex
as input formats. This allows pandoc to convert between BibLaTeX and BibTeX and other bibliography formats, and to generated formatted versions of BibTeX/BibLaTeX bibliographies (e.g.,pandoc -f biblatex --citeproc pl.bib -o pl.pdf
). -
Raise informative errors when YAML metadata parsing fails (#6730). Previously the command would succeed, returning empty metadata, with no errors or warnings.
-
Sort languages in
--list-highlight-languages
output (#6718, Albert Krewinkel). Languages were previously sorted by their long name, which leads to unexpected results). -
Add CSS to default HTML template (#6601, Mauro Bieg). This greatly improves the default typography in pandoc’s HTML output. The CSS is sensitive to a number of variables (e.g.
mainfont
,fontsize
,linestretch
): see the manual for details. To restore the earlier, more spartan output, you can disable this with-M document-css=false
. -
Support
--toc-depth
option for ODT writer (#6696, niszet). -
Fix issues with Windows UNC paths with some options (#5127).
-
Remove
fenced_code_blocks
andbacktick_code_blocks
from allowedcommonmark
andgfm
extensions. These shouldn’t really be counted as extensions, because they can’t be disabled in commonmark. Adjust markdown writer to check for the commonmark variant in addition to extensions. -
Add these extensions to
gfm
andcommonmark
:fenced_code_blocks
,backtick_code_blocks
,fenced_code_attributes
. These can’t really be disabled in the reader, but they need to be enabled in the writer or we just get indented code. -
Make sure proper set of extensions is recognized for
commonmark_x
. -
Allow
gfm_auto_identifiers
,ascii_identifiers
extensions fordocx
. -
Markdown reader:
- Add
Maybe FilePath
parameter toyamlToMeta
[API change]. - Export
yamlToRefs
[API change], a version ofyamlToMeta
specialized to references. - Set
citationNoteNum
accurately in citations. - Revise abbreviation support. Don’t insert a nonbreaking space after a potential abbreviation if it comes right before a note or citation. This causes problems for citeproc’s moving of note citations.
- Add

LaTeX reader:
- Support missing siunitx commands (#6658).
- Support

in siunitx (#6657). - Improved uncertainty handling in slunitx.
- Factored out siunitx stuff into separate unexposed module.
- Fix improper empty cell filtering (#6689, Christian Despres).
- Fix parsing of “show name” in
\newtheorem
(#6734). Previously we were just treating it as a string and ignoring accents and formatting. - Prevent wrong nesting of
\multirow
and\multicolumn
table cells (#6603, Laurent P. René de Cotret). - Table cell parser not consuming spaces correctly (#6596, Laurent P. René de Cotret).
- Change
SIRange
toSIrange
(#6617, Emerson Harkin). - Allow blank lines inside
\author
(#6324).
-
DocBook reader:
- Don’t squelch space at end of emphasis and other inline elements; instead, move it outside the element (#6719).
- Implement table cell alignment (#6698, Nils Carlson).
- Implement column span support for tables (#6492, Nils Carlson).
- Update list of block level tags (#6610).
-
JATS reader:
- Don’t squelch space at end of emphasis and other inline elements; instead, move it outside the element (#6719).
-
RST reader:
- Apply
.. class::
directly to following Header rather than creating a surrounding Div (#6699).
- Apply
-
Docx reader:
- Allow empty dates in comments and tracked changes (#6726, Diego Balseiro).
-
Markdown writer:
- Be less aggressive about using quotes for YAML values, allowing e.g. a quotation mark or bracket as long as it’s not at the beginning of the line.
- Use double quotes for YAML metadata (#6727).
- Sort YAML metadata keys in Markdown output case-insensitive.
-
Asciidoc writer:
- Support asciidoctor’s block figures (#6538, argent0).
-
LaTeX writer:
- Fix spacing issue with list in definition list.
When a list occurs at the beginning of a definition list definition,
it can start on the same line as the label, which looks bad.
Fix that by starting such lists with an
\item[]
.
- Fix spacing issue with list in definition list.
When a list occurs at the beginning of a definition list definition,
it can start on the same line as the label, which looks bad.
Fix that by starting such lists with an

HTML writer:
- Support intermediate table headers (#5314, Albert Krewinkel).
- Support attributes on all table elements (Albert Krewinkel).
- Render table footers if present (#6314, Albert Krewinkel).
- Fix addition of
doc-biblioentry
role. - Support colspans and rowspans in HTML tables (#6312, Albert Krewinkel).
-
ICML writer:
- Support internal document links (#5541, Leonard Rosenthol).
- Changed default link state to invisible (#6676, Leonard Rosenthol).
-
Docx writer:
- Better handle list items whose contents are lists (#5948, Michael Hoffmann). If the first element of a bulleted or ordered list is another list, then that first item would previously disappear if the target format is docx.
- Separate adjacent tables (#4315). Word combines adjacent tables, so to prevent this we insert an empty paragraph between two adjacent tables.
-
Org writer:
- Don’t force blank line after headings (#6554).
-
OpenDocument writer:
- Implement table cell alignment (#6700 Nils Carson, Mauro Bieg).
- New table cell support with row and column spans (#6682, Nils Carson).
- Syntax highlighting for inline code (#6711, niszet).
-
Add Text.Pandoc.Citeproc module, exporting
processCitations
[API change]. This depends on several other, unexported modules under Text.Pandoc.Citeproc. -
Add module Text.Pandoc.Writers.CslJson, exporting
writeCslJson
. [API change] -
Add module Text.Pandoc.Readers.CslJson, exporting
readCslJson
. [API change] -
Add module Text.Pandoc.Readers.BibTeX, exporting
readBibTeX
andreadBibLaTeX
. [API change] -
Text.Pandoc.Filter: Add
CiteprocFilter
constructor to Filter. [API change] This runs the processCitations transformation. We need to treat it like a filter so it can be placed in the sequence of filter runs (after some, before others). In FromYAML, this is parsed fromciteproc
or{type: citeproc}
, so this special filter may be specified either way in a defaults file (or byciteproc: true
, though this gives no control of positioning relative to other filters). -
Add new exported module Text.Pandoc.Writers.AnnotatedTable [API change] (#6655, Christian Despres). This module (which should generally be imported qualified to avoid name conflicts) provides a
Table
type that mirrors the structure of a pandocTable
, but with added inferred information so that the writers do not have to lay out tables themselves. ThetoTable
andfromTable
functions convert between an annotatedTable
and a regular pandocTable
. In addition to producing aTable
with coherent and well-formed annotations, thetoTable
function also normalizes its input table like the table builder does. Tests ensure thattoTable
normalizes tables exactly like the table builder, and that its annotations are coherent. -
Text.Pandoc.Logging:
- Remove unused
CouldNotParseYamlMetadata
constructor forLogMessage
[API change]. - Add
CiteprocWarning
constructor toLogMessage
[API change].
- Remove unused
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Metadata: export
yamlBsToRefs
[API change]. These allow specifying an id filter so we parse only references that are used in the document. -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing:
- Export ParseError [API change].
- Add
stateInNote
andstateNoteNumber
toParserState
[API change]. These are used to populate note numbers for citation processing.
-
Fix apparent typos in sample.lua (#6729, William Lupton). Also make the writer less aggressive in escaping quotes.
-
Text.Pandoc.Options:
defaultMathJaxURL
: usetex-chtml-full
instead oftex-mml-chtml
(#6599, Kolen Cheung). This drops the MathML support (which we don’t need for HTML math rendering) and includes the full JavaScript, which makes it possible to use--self-contained
(though there may still be issues if the required math fonts aren’t available). This change should also reduce latency in pages with lots of formulas.- Add

(#6593) Previously we added this in processing command line options, but not in processing defaults files, which was inconsistent.
-
epub.css: Fix cover page selectors and add note explaining their use (#6649, a-vrma).
-
Add data files needed for Text.Pandoc.Citeproc: these include
default.csl
in the data directory and aciteproc
directory that is only used at compile-time for biblatex localizations. Note that we’ve addedfile-embed
as a mandatory rather than a conditional dependency, because of the biblatex localization files. -
Lua filters:
-
Add SimpleTable for backwards compatibility (#6575, Albert Krewinkel). A new type
SimpleTable
is made available to Lua filters. It is similar to theTable
type in pandoc versions before 2.10; conversion functions from and to the new Table type are provided. Old filters using tables now require minimal changes and can use, e.g.,if PANDOC_VERSION > {2,10,1} then pandoc.Table = pandoc.SimpleTable end
and
function Table (tbl) tbl = pandoc.utils.to_simple_table(tbl) … return pandoc.utils.from_simple_table(tbl) end
to work with the current pandoc version.
-
Make
attr
argument optional inTable
constructor (Albert Krewinkel). This changes the Lua API. It is highly unlikely for this change to affect existing filters, since the documentation for the new Table constructor (and type) was incomplete and partly wrong before. The Lua API is now more consistent, as all constructors for elements with attributes now take attributes as the last parameter.
-
-
MANUAL.txt:
- Add a dedicated Citations section which consolidates the information the manual used to contain about citation processing, and incorporates some information formerly found in the pandoc-citeproc man page.
- Add note about lualatex using
selnolig
. - Remove duplicate
seriespage
(#6568, Blake Eryx). - Remove lists of support extensions for markdown variants (#6604).
Instead, offer the advice to use
--list-extensions=FORMAT
. - Fix position of attributes in header (Albert Krewinkel).
- Delete obsolete section on compact and loose lists (#6684).
-
doc/lua-filters.md:
- Add info on how to debug Lua filters (#6732, Ian Max Andolina).
- Document Underline type and constructor (Albert Krewinkel).
- Document
body
field (Albert Krewinkel). - Add missing header attribute
- Add missing Link.title field (Albert Krewinkel).
- Make the setting-the-date example conditional (the-solipsist). This makes the example a bit more realistic.
- Remove outdated link table example.
-
doc/org.md:
- Add section on tables (Albert Krewinkel).
- Add section on handling of unknown directives (Albert Krewinkel).

CONTRIBUTING.md: fix typo (#6584, Dmitry Volodin).
-
Use golden test framework for command tests. This means that
--accept
can be used to update expected output. -
Use the
smart

Remove duplicated dependency in pandoc.cabal (#6591, Felix Yan).
-
Sort build depends in pandoc.cabal alphabetically (#6691, Albert Krewinkel).
-
Add .travis.yml for macos release candidate build (#6622). We need to build the release candidate on Travis rather than GitHub actions, because GH has macos 10.15, and binaries compiled on that OS will not work with 10.13. This build is only triggered on
rc/*
branches. -
Remove instructions for building pandoc-citeproc from CI and release binary build instructions. We will no longer distribute pandoc-citeproc.
-
Fix math rendering in trypandoc (this broke after commit d8ad766d17603784b86fc5c2e1b22864125d04d1).
-
Use latest versions of skylighting, commonmark (#6589), comonmark-extensions, commonmark-pandoc, texmath.
-
Relax version bounds for hslua, hslua-module-text, bytestring.
-
Use released pandoc-types 1.22. This changes the JSON encoding slightly for the new table types introduced in 1.21, so they’re more consistent with the rest. Developers of libraries for pandoc filters will want to take note.
-
Fix hlint suggestions, update hlint.yaml (#6680, Christian Despres).
-
Code cleanup (#6678, Joseph C. Sible).
-
Add haddocks to functions in Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Remove duplicate

definition. -
Linux release candidate build: use ghc-musl container. This simplifies our build process (over using a customized alpine container).
pandoc 2.10.1 (2020-07-23)
-
Add
commonmark_x
output format. This iscommonmark
with a number of useful pandoc extensions enabled. -
Many more extensions now work with
commonmark
andgfm
. -
Add generic
attributes
extension. This allows attributes to be added to any block or inline element in a uniform way. Since the Pandoc AST doesn’t include attributes on each element type, the attributes will sometimes be added by creating a surrounding Div or Span container. Currently this extension is only compatible with thecommonmark
andgfm
readers.To add an attribute to a block-level element, e.g. a paragraph, put it before the block:
{#mypara} This is a paragraph.
Multiple attributes may be used and will be combined:
{#mypara} {.blue .warning key="val"} This is a paragraph.
To add an attribute to an inline-level element, put it immediately after the element:
*emphasized text*{.special}

Commonmark writer:
- Instead of using cmark-gfm, use
writeCommonmark

Screen readers read an image’s
alt
attribute and the figure caption, both of which come from the same source in pandoc. The figure caption is hidden from screen readers with thearia-hidden

pandoc 2.10 (2020-06-29)
-
Use pandoc-types 1.21. This adds two things:
- A native Underline constructor for Inline (#6277, Vaibhav Sagar).
- More expressive types for tables (#1024, Christian Despres). Tables can now take attributes; and rowspans and colspans, column headers, multiple row headers, table head and foot can all be represented. (Note, however, that reader and writer support for these features is still lacking, so most users won’t see any differences in table conversion yet. These changes just lay the foundation for further improvements.)
-
Support new Underline element in readers and writers (#6277, Vaibhav Sagar).
-
Support new Table type (Christian Despres). The Builder.simpleTable now only adds a row to the TableHead when the given header row is not null. This uncovered an inconsistency in the readers: some would unconditionally emit a header filled with empty cells, even if the header was not present. Now every reader has the conditional behaviour. Only the XWiki writer depended on the header row being always present; it now pads its head as necessary.
-
Add an option to disable certificate validation (#6156, Cédric Couralet, Cécile Chemin, Juliette Fourcot). This commit adds the option
--no-check-certificate
, which disables certificate checking when resources are fetched by HTTP. -
Unify defaults and markdown metadata parsers (#6328, Nikolay Yakimov). Clean up code in Text.Pandoc.Readers.Metadata and properly handle errors in
yamlToMeta
. This fixes parsing of Boolean fields in metadata withinin defaults files and reduces code duplication. -
Docbook reader:
- Implement

-
JATS reader:
- Handle “label” element in section title (#6288).
- Parse abstract element into metadata field of same name (#6480, Albert Krewinkel).
-
Jira reader (Albert Krewinkel):
- Resolve multiple parsing problems, including issues with empty table cells, faulty recognition of closing emphasis characters, and parsing of image attributes (#6212, #6219, #6220).
- Two consecutive markup chars are now parsed verbatim (#6343); styled text must not be empty.
- Newlines are no longer allowed within styled text (#6325).
- Links to anchors are now parsed as links (#6407).
- Retain image attributes (#6234). Jira images attributes as in
!image.jpg|align=right!
are retained as key-value pairs. Thumbnail images, such as!example.gif|thumbnail!
, are marked by athumbnail
class in their attributes. - Use Underline for inserted text (#6237). Previously, the span was
marked with the non-standard class
inserted
. - Improve icon conversion for
(/)
,(x)
,(!)
,(?)
(+)
,(-)
,(off)
,(*)
. (#6236, #6264). - Support citations, attachment links, and user links (#6231, #6238, #6239).
- Resolve parsing issues of blockquote, color (#6233, #6235).
-
HTML reader:
- Parse attributes into table attributes.
- Support
<bdo>
(#5794, Tristan de Cacqueray). - Add
summary
to list of block-level HTML tags (#6385). This improves support for summary/details inside Markdown. NOTE: you need to include a blank line before the closing</details>
, if you want the last part of the content to be parsed as a paragraph. - Fix parsing unclosed th elements in a table (#6247).
-
Commonmark reader: Implement
implicit_figures
extension (#6350). -
Markdown Reader:
- Fix inline code in lists (#6284, Nikolay Yakimov). Previously inline code containing list markers was sometimes parsed incorrectly.
- Don’t require blank line after grid table (#6481). This allows grid tables to be enclosed in fenced divs with no intervening blank lines.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Don’t parse beyond
\end{document}
(#6380). This required some internal changes to\subfile
handling. - Better handling of
\lettrine
. SmallCaps instead of Span for the part after the initial capital. Ensure that both arguments are parsed, so that in Markdown both are treated as raw LateX. (Closes #6258.)
- Don’t parse beyond
-
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel):
- Recognize images with uppercase extensions (#6472).
- Keep unknown keyword lines as raw org. The lines of unknown
keywords, like
#+SOMEWORD: value
are no longer read as metadata, but kept as raworg
blocks. This ensures that more information is retained when round-tripping org-mode files; additionally, this change makes it possible to support non-standard org extensions via filters. - Unify keyword handling. Handling of export settings and other
keywords (like
#+LINK
) has been combined and unified. - Support
LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA
andHTML_HEAD_EXTRA
settings. These export settings are treated like their non-extra counterparts, i.e., the values are added to theheader-includes
metadata list. - Allow multiple
#+SUBTITLE
export settings. The values of all lines are read as inlines and collected in thesubtitle
metadata field. - Read
#+INSTITUTE
values as text with markup. The value is stored in theinstitute
metadata field and used in the default beamer presentation template. - The behavior of the
#+AUTHOR
and#+KEYWORD
export settings has changed: Org now allows multiple such lines and adds a space between the contents of each line. Pandoc now always parses these settings as meta inlines; setting values are no longer treated as comma-separated lists. Note that a Lua filter can be used to restore the previous behavior. - Read description lines as inlines (#6485).
#+DESCRIPTION
lines are now treated as text with markup. If multiple such lines are given, then all lines are read and separated by soft linebreaks. - Honor tex export option (#4070). The
tex
export option can be set with#+OPTION: tex:nil
and allows three settings:t
(the default) causes LaTeX fragments to be parsed as TeX or added as raw TeX.nil
removes all LaTeX fragments from the document.verbatim
treats LaTeX as text.
-
RST reader:
- Pass arbitrary attributes through in code blocks (#6465). Exceptions: name (which becomes the id), class (which becomes the classes), and number-lines (which is treated specially to fit with pandoc highlighting).
- Handle
date::
directive (#6276).
-
Textile reader: support
pre.
for code blocks (#6454). -
Ipynb reader:
- Implement
raw_markdown
extension (#5408). Specifying-f ipynb+raw_markdown
will cause Markdown cells to be represented as raw Markdown blocks, instead of being parsed. This is not what you want when going fromipynb
to other formats, but it may be useful when going fromipynb
to Markdown or toipynb
, to avoid semantically insignificant changes in the contents of the Markdown cells that might otherwise be introduced. - Handle application/pdf output as image (#6430).
- Properly handle image/svg+xml as an image (#6430).
- Implement
-
Docx reader:
- Distinguish between docx parsing and docx container unpacking errors.

-
Vimwiki reader:
- Add nested syntax highlighting (#6256, Vlad Hanciuta).
Nested syntaxes are specified like this:
The preformatted code block parser has been extended to check if the first attribute of the block is not a{{{sql SELECT * FROM table }}}
key=value
pair, and in that case it will be considered as a class.
- Add nested syntax highlighting (#6256, Vlad Hanciuta).
Nested syntaxes are specified like this:
-
Jira writer (Albert Krewinkel):
- Always escape braces (#6478). Braces are now always escaped, even within words or when surrounded by whitespace. Jira and Confluence treat braces specially.
- Convert Underline to inserted text (
+inserted+
). - Add image attributes (#6234). Image attributes are added to the output as image parameters. If the image has a class “thumbnail”, then a thumbnail image is generated; all other attributes are discarded in this case.
-
LaTeX writer:
- Ensure that
-M csquotes
works even in fragment mode (#6265). - Escape
^
specially for listings (#6460). - Create hypertarget for links with identifier (#6360).
- Distinguish between single and double quotes when using enquote package (#6457, dbecher-ito).
- Add support for customizable alignment of columns in beamer (#6331, andrebauer).
- Add support for customizable alignment of columns in beamer (#4805, #4150, andrebauer).
- Ensure that

HTML writer:
- Use CSS in favor of

- Use CSS in favor of
-
Org writer:
- Clean-up Div handling (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Docx writer:
- Enable column and row bands for tables (#6371). This change will not have any effect with the default style. However, it enables users to use a style (via a reference.docx) that turns on row and/or column bands.
-
OpenDocument (and ODT) writer:
- Add custom-style “Abstract” in metadata abstract. This ensures that the abstract is rendered with style Abstract.
- Enable custom-style attribute on a Div. This allows you to apply a custom style to contained paragraphs.
-
DocBook writer:
- Add id of figure to enclosed image.
- Add personname element to docbook author (#6244).
-
FB2 writer:
- Properly handle cover-image containing spaces (#6391).

Markdown writer:
- Ensure consistent padding for pipe tables (#6240).
- Avoid unnecessary escapes before intraword
_
whenintraword_underscores
extension is enabled (#6296).
-
RST writer:
- Properly handle images with same alt text (#6194). Previously we created duplicate references for these in rendering RST.
-
AsciiDoc writer:
- Add blank line after Div (#6308).
-
Haddock Writer:
- Support Haddock tables (Joe Hermaszewski). See this PR on Haddock for details on the table format: https://github.com/haskell/haddock/pull/718.
-
PowerPoint writer (Jesse Rosenthal):
- Write math input verbatim in speaker notes (#6301). OMML in speaker notes would lead to corrupt PowerPoint output. We now output the OMML verbatim as LaTeX in the speaker notes.
-
LaTeX template: Make polyglossia package options list-aware (#6444, Frederik Elwert).
-
Reveal.js template:
- Update template for reveal.js 4.0.0 (#6390, Salim B).
- Update template with newly available options (#6347, Jake Zimmerman).
- Use CDN version of revealjs v4 by default (#6408).
-
opendocument template: Add abstract and subtitle to opendocument template (#6369).
-
reference.odt: clean up styles. Add Abstract. Change Author, Date to centered paragraphs with no character styling.
-
epub.css: wrap overlong lines in highlighted code blocks (#6242). This fixes a problem in iBooks v2.4 with our earlier horizontally scrolling code blocks. The problem seems to be a bug in iBooks, not pandoc, but since iBooks is a major target we’re changing pandoc’s default behavior so that pandoc-produced epubs work on that platform.
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF:
- Use
--enable-local-file-access
in invokingwkhtmltopdf

Text.Pandoc.Shared:
makeSections
: omit number attribute when unnumbered class is present (#6339). Previously the attribute was included but given an empty value, and this caused the table of contents creation functions in Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared to think these items had numbers, which meant that they were included in the TOC even if theunlisted
class was used.- Deprecate

Lua subsystem (Albert Krewinkel):
- Use new type PandocLua for all pandoc Lua operations (API change).
The new type
PandocLua
is an instance of thePandocMonad
typeclass and can thus be used in a way similar toPandocIO
. - Use PandocError for exceptions in Lua subsystem (API change).
The PandocError type is used throughout the Lua subsystem. All Lua
functions throw an exception of this type if an error occurs. The
LuaException
type is removed and no longer exported fromText.Pandoc.Lua
. In its place, a new constructorPandocLuaError
is added to PandocError.
- Use new type PandocLua for all pandoc Lua operations (API change).

to be misplaced in bodymatter instead of frontmatter as specified in the manual. The same problem would affect other epub:types. The pattern matching needed to be changed with the use ofmakeSection
. -
AsciiDoc writer: remove redundant
otherwise
guard ininlineToAsciiDoc
(#6146, Ryan Scott). -
Text.Pandoc.Class:
- Fix missing import when data files are not embedded (Albert Krewinkel).
- Subdivide Text.Pandoc.Class into small unexported modules and ensure that all functions have Haddock documentation (#6106, Albert Krewinkel).
- Finer grained imports of Text.Pandoc.Class submodules (#6203, Albert Krewinkel).
-
Text.Pandoc.XML: Add to list of HTML5 attributes:
allow
,autocapitalize
,decoding
,enterkeyhint
,imagesizes
,imagesrcset
,loading
. -
Use implicit Prelude (#6187, Albert Krewinkel). The previous behavior was introduced as a fix for #4464. It seems that this change alone did not fix the issue, and
stack ghci
andcabal repl
only work with GHC 8.4.1 or newer, as no custom Prelude is loaded for these versions. Given this, it seems cleaner to revert to the implicit Prelude. -
Always use custom prelude (#6187, Albert Krewinkel). Previously, the custom prelude was used only with older GHC versions, as a workaround for problems with ghci. The ghci problems are resolved by replacing package
base
withbase-noprelude
, allowing for consistent use of the custom prelude across all GHC versions. -
Remove outdated checks for no longer supported base versions (Albert Krewinkel).
-
PDF via wkhtmltopdf: put user-specified options last (#6171). Certain options (e.g.
cover
) need to come after flags on the command line. -
Text.Pandoc.App: set resource path at the beginning so it can affect things like include-in-header (#5982).
-
Change macOS release candidate CI process so that notarized packages can be produced (#6169).
-
Make MANUAL more explicit about nonbreaking space handling by
all_symbols_escapable
(#6154, Fabien Schurter). -
trypandoc (Mike Tzou):
- Add checkbox for standalone option (#6189).
- Use strict mode for JavaScript code (#6188).
- Fetch resources over https (#6188).
- Remove unnecessary attributes on style, script elements (#6188).
-
Use details tag to make GitHub releases changelog collapsible.
-
Update filter code in doc/filters.md so it works with latest pandoc (#6185).
-
linux/Dockerfile: upgrade to alpine 3.11 (#6180, Albert Krewinkel). This is used to build the static linux binaries.
pandoc 2.9.2 (2020-02-15)
-
Add
csv
as an input format (#6100). The CSV table is converted into a pandoc simple table. A new module Text.Pandoc.Readers.CSV exportsreadCSV
[API change]. -
Introduce new format variants for JATS writer (#6014, Albert Krewinkel):
jats_archiving
for the “Archiving and Interchange Tag Set”,jats_publishing
for the “Journal Publishing Tag Set”, andjats_articleauthoring
for the “Article Authoring Tag Set.”
The
jats
output format is now an alias forjats_archiving
. The module Text.Pandoc.Writers.JATS now exportswriteJatsArchiving
,writeJatsPublishing
, andwriteJatsArticleAuthoring
, as well as the legacywriteJATS
[API change]. -
--defaults
: Supportbibliography
andcsl
fields. MoveaddMeta
from Text.Pandoc.App.CommandLineOptions to Text.Pandoc.App.Opt (internal change). -
Add timing info for filters in
--verbose
mode (#6112). When verbose mode is specified (verbosity == INFO), print a notice when running a filter and when a filter completes (including timing). -
LaTeX reader:
- Allow
&
in LaTeX citation keys (#6110). - Improve caption and label parsing.
- Don’t emit empty Span elements for labels.
- Put tables with labels in a surrounding Div.
- Resolve
\ref
to table numbers (#6137). - Skip comments in more places where this is needed (#6114).
- Allow beamer overlays for all commands in all raw tex (#6043). This affects parsing of raw tex in LaTeX and in Markdown and other formats.
- Improve parsing of raw environments (#6034). If parsing fails
in a raw environment (e.g. due to special characters like unescaped
_
), try again as a verbatim environment, which is less sensitive to special characters. This allows us to capture special environments that change catcodes as raw tex when-f latex+raw_tex
is used.
- Allow
-
RST reader:
- Add highlight directive (#6140, Lucas Escot).
-
MediaWiki writer:
- Prevent triple
[[[
which confuses MediaWiki (#6119).
- Prevent triple
-
HTML reader:
- Don’t parse
data-id
asid
attribute. And similarly don’t parse anydata-X
asX
whenX
is a valid HTML attribute.
- Don’t parse
-
Org reader:
- Simplify parsing of sub- and superscripts (#6127, Albert Krewinkel). Speeds up parsing of single-word, markup-less sub- and superscripts.
-
LaTeX writer:
- Group biblatex citations even with prefix and suffix (#5849, Ethan Riley). Previously biblatex citations were only grouped if there was no prefix. This patch allows them to be grouped in subgroups split by prefixes and suffixes, which allows better citation sorting.
- Fix regression in handling of columns in beamer slides (#6033). Columns in title slides were causing problems with slide division.
- Fix duplicate frame classes in LaTeX/Beamer output (#6107).
-
HTML writer:
- Fix duplicate attributes on headings (#6062), regression from 2.7.x.
- Fix
--number-offset
with HTML TOC. Eventually it would be worth adding a parameter tomakeSections
so this could be done at that level; then it would also affect other writers that construct TOC manually. - reveal.js: restore old behavior for 2D nesting (#6032). The fix to #6030 actually changed behavior, so that the 2D nesting occurred at slide level N-1 and N, instead of at the top-level section. This commit restores the v2.7.3 behavior. If there are more than 2 levels, the top level is horizontal and the rest are collapsed to vertical.
- reveal.js: ensure that pauses work even in title slides (#5819).
-
Markdown writer:
- Fix regression: spurious dots in markdown_mmd metadata output (#6133).
-
Docx writer:
- Fix regression with Compact style on tight lists (#6072). Starting in 2.8, the docx writer no longer distinguishes between tight and loose lists, since the Compact style is omitted. This is a side-effect of the fix to #5670, as explained in the changelog. This patch fixes the problem by extending the exception currently offered to Plain blocks inside tables to Plain blocks inside list items.
-
Jira writer:
- Fix output of table headers (Albert Krewinkel, #6035).
-
Add Text.Pandoc.Image with unexported svgToPng.
-
Text.Pandoc.XML: Export
html5Attributes
,html4Attributes
,rdfaAttributes
(formerly unexported in Text.Pandoc.Writers.HTML). [API change] -
Text.Pandoc.Shared: Export a new function
findM
(#6125, Joseph C. Sible). -
Text.Pandoc.Logging: Add
RunningFilter
,FilterCompleted
constructors to LogMessage [API change]. -
Text.Pandoc.CSV: fix bug in CSV parser; previously an extra blank record would sometimes be inserted at the end.
-
LaTeX template: add space option to xeCJK with PassOptionsToPackage (#6002). Otherwise we can get a clash with documentclasses that already load the package.
-
Lua filters:
-
Allow filtering of element lists (#6038, Albert Krewinkel). Lists of Inline and Block elements can now be filtered via
Inlines
andBlocks
functions, respectively. This is helpful if a filter conversion depends on the order of elements rather than a single element. For example, the following filter can be used to remove all spaces before a citation:function isSpaceBeforeCite (spc, cite) return spc and spc.t == 'Space' and cite and cite.t == 'Cite' end function Inlines (inlines) for i = #inlines-1,1,-1 do if isSpaceBeforeCite(inlines[i], inlines[i+1]) then inlines:remove(i) end end return inlines end
-
Add methods
insert
,remove
, andsort
to pandoc.List (Albert Krewinkel). Example of use:local numbers = pandoc.List {2, 3, 1} numbers:sort() -- numbers is now {1, 2, 3}
-
Make
pandoc.List
a callable constructor (Albert Krewinkel). It is now possible to construct a new List viapandoc.List()
instead ofpandoc.List:new()
. -
Add tests for pandoc.List module (Albert Krewinkel).
-
-
Text.Pandoc.App.CommandLineOptions: Change
setVariable
to useText
instead ofString
. This avoids some unnecessary unpacking. -
Use versioned directory for windows release zipfile. Also remove old
make-windows-installer.bat
, superseded by GitHub actions workflow, and modifypandoc.wxs
for new paths. -
Extensive code cleanup (#6141, #6128, #6129, #6130, #6123, #6105, 6102, #6117, #6124, #6115, #6116, #6111, Joseph C. Sible).
-
Fix hlint warnings (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Use latest doclayout, doctemplates (#6031). The new version of doclayout fixes a memory leak that affected
--include-in-header
with large files (and possibly other cases involving extremely long lines). -
Use latest texmath.
-
Use latest skylighting and fix test suite (#6086).
-
sample.lua: Fix typo in descriptive comments (#6136, Caleb Maclennan). Fix typo in error message (#6135).
-
Add Docker and GH Actions instructions/links to INSTALL.md.
-
Update filter documentation (#6065). Improve cabal v2 instructions. Remove example using pandoc API directly (we have other docs for that and it was outdated).
-
Lua filter docs:
- Cross-link constructors and types (Albert Krewinkel). Thanks to @bpj for the idea.
- Sort pandoc.List methods alphabetically (Albert Krewinkel).
- Unify, fix anchors and internal links (#6061, Albert Krewinkel). Links and anchors now follow consistent conventions, like lowercase-only anchor names. This breaks some links to specific sections in the document, but will make it much easier to link documentation in the future.
- Clarify filter function execution order (#6059, Albert Krewinkel).
-
In docs, update URLs and use
https:
wherever possible (#6090, Salim B).
pandoc 2.9.1.1 (2020-01-05)
-
Markdown reader:
- Fix parsing bug affected indented code after raw HTML (#6009, #5360).
-
LaTeX writer:
- Fix regression in beamer slide structure with certain slide levels (#6030).
- Allow framebreaks for beamer’s TOC (Heiko Schlittermann, #6012)
- Properly handle unnumbered headings level 4+ (#6018).
Previously the
\paragraph
command was used instead of\paragraph*
for unnumbered level 4 headings.
-
HTML writer:
- Fix revealjs slide structure regression with certain slide levels (#6030).
- Add newlines to make slide show output more readable.
-
Org writer:
- Remove extra spaces from table cells (Albert Krewinkel, #6024).
-
JATS template: Update JATS dtd (Arfon Smith, #6020). Use the archiving and interchange DTD rather than the more restrictive journal publishing DTD (which doesn’t permit ext-link as a valid child).
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF: Fix
runTeXProgram
so that the input source is always overwritten (#6027). Previously it wasn’t overridden if the file already existed, which led to bad results on subsequent runs whenpdf-engine-opt=-output-directory=
was used to specify an explicit temp dir. -
Text.Pandoc.BCP47: Change
getLang
to handle block-level contents (#6008). Some readers (e.g. RST) will populate thelang
metadata field with block-level content.getLang
has been modified to handle this. Previously in these cases the LaTeX writer would not properly set the “main language” of the document. -
Fix
test/tables.org
(Albert Krewinkel). -
Use HTTPS in copyright message (Felix Yan, #6010)
pandoc 2.9.1 (2019-12-23)
-
Add Jira reader (Albert Krewinkel, #5556).
-
Jira writer: use jira-wiki-markup renderer (Albert Krewinkel, #5926). The following improvements are included in this change:
- non-jira raw blocks are fully discarded instead of showing as blank lines;
- table cells can contain multiple blocks;
- unnecessary blank lines are removed from the output;
- markup chars within words are properly surrounded by braces;
- preserving soft linebreaks via
--wrap=preserve
is supported.
Note that backslashes are rendered as HTML entities, as there appears no alternative to produce a plain backslash if it is followed by markup. This may cause problems when used with confluence, where rendering seems to fail in this case.
-
Fix regression with
--number-sections
. Starting with 2.8,--number-sections
also had the effect of--section-divs
, even if--section-divs
was not specified. -
Improved table of contents generation in markdown, RTF, commonmark, better handling cases where section headings are enclosed in divs.
-
Ensure that later default file values for
variable
replace earlier ones (5988). -
HTML reader: Add
nav
to list of block-level tags. -
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel):
- Wrap named table in Div, using name as id (#5984).
Tables which are given a name via
#+NAME:
or#+LABEL:
are wrapped in an additional Div, with the name set as the Div’s ID. - Report parsing errors properly.
- Fix parsing problem for colons in headline (#5993).
- Wrap named table in Div, using name as id (#5984).
Tables which are given a name via
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF: Ensure UTF8 when printing source in
--verbose
mode, avoiding an error on platforms that default to something other than UTF-8 (#5997). -
Text.Pandoc.Templates: Strip directory before trying to find partial in data files (#5987).
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared: Improve
makeSections
so we don’t get doubled “number” attributes in EPUB output (or anywhere else) (#5986). -
Added tests for
--toc
and--section-divs
. -
Text.Pandoc.MIME: Added glsl MIME type for WebGL maps (#6000, Jared Lander).
-
MANUAL: A bit clearer explanation for
--base-header-level
. We now say exactly how to translate between the deprecated--base-header-level
and--shift-heading-level-by
. -
lua-filters.md:
- Remove spurious dot in title (#5996, Mauro Bieg).
- Replace metadata example with image centering (#6004, Albert Krewinkel). Thanks to @efx for proposing this filter.
pandoc 2.9 (2019-12-11)
-
Text.Pandoc.Templates [API change]
- Add Monad wrappers
WithDefaultPartials
andWithPartials
. Wrapping these around an instance ofPandocMonad
gives us different instances ofTemplateMonad
, with different search behavior in retrieving partials. To compile a template and limit partial search to pandoc’s data files, userunWithDefaultPartials (compileTemplate ...)
. To compile a template and allow partials to be found locally (either on the file system or via HTTP, in the event that the main template has an absolute URL), uerunWithPartials (compileTemplate ...)
. - Export
getTemplate
, which seeks a template locally, or via HTTP if the template has an absolute URL, falling back to the data files if not found. - Export
compileDefaultTemplate
– doesgetDefaultTemplate
and compiles the result, raising an error on failure.
- Add Monad wrappers
-
Text.Pandoc.Class [API change]
- Remove
TemplateMonad
instances forPandocIO
andPandocPure
. These were too limiting and caused a bug whereby a local partial could be used even when the default template was requested. We now rely on instances provided in the Templates module.
- Remove
-
Text.Pandoc.App.OutputSettings: Simplify template retrieval code.
-
ConTeXt template: Adjust to title formatting (#5949, Denis Maier). Add
\setupinterlinespace
totitle
,subtitle
,date
andauthor
elements: otherwise longer titles that run over multiple lines will look squashed as\tfd
etc. won’t adapt the line spacing to the font size. -
reveal.js template: Add title-slide-attributes variable (#5981, Frederik Elwert).
-
More informative JSON parse error (#5973).
-
Use external emojis package (forked from pandoc). Removed emoji data in Text.Pandoc.Emoji.
-
Fix regression in
makeSections
(#5965). Previouslyhierarchicalize
(the ancestor ofmakeSections
) would put header attributes on the containing Div. In 2.8 this behavior changed, which broke some tools depending on pandoc. Here we roll back this change, so that attributes again migrate from the header to the containing Div whenmakeSections
is run. Note that attributes are retained on the header as well (unlike before) – with the exception of theid
attribute, which of course cannot be duplicated. -
Fix
--toc-depth
regression in 2.8 (#5967). -
Use doctemplates 0.8. Rename template ‘filters’ as ‘pipes’ to avoid confusion with the other notion of filter used by pandoc.
-
Fix README.md so that relative links from manual become absolute. Previously they’d be broken links when viewed on GitHub or Hackage. So we add the base URL for the pandoc manual.
-
Document display math syntax in manual.
pandoc 2.8.1 (2019-12-05)
-
Add
ascii_identifiers
as a supported extension formarkdown
. 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 just2
. 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).
pandoc 2.8.0.1 (2019-11-26)
- List
pdf
in--list-output-formats
. - EPUB writer: Fix regression with
--css
(#5937). In 2.8--css
would not have an effect on EPUB output. - RST writer: Use grid tables for one-column tables, since simple tables clash with heading syntax in this case (#5936).
- Add unexported module Text.Pandoc.Readers.Metadata (see #5914).
- Use doctemplates 0.7.2, which adds the
nowrap
filter to templates. - Update default man template using
nowrap
for .TH heading (#5929). - HTML templates: Add support for
toc-title
variable (#5930, Alexandre Franke). - Remove
grffile
(LaTeX package) requirement in MANUAL.txt (#5927, Ian Max Andolina). - Use skylighting 0.8.3.
pandoc 2.8 (2019-11-22)
-
Improvements in templates system (from doctemplates):
- Pandoc templates now support a number of new features that
have been added in doctemplates: notably,
elseif
,it
, partials, filters, and syntax to control nesting and reflowing of text. These changes make pandoc more suitable out of the box for generating plain-text documents from data in YAML metadata. It can create enumerated lists and even tabular structures. - We now used templates parameterized on doclayout Doc types. The main impact of this change is better reflowing of content interpolated into templates. Previously, interpolated variables were rendered independently and interpolated as strings, which could lead to overly long lines. Now the templates interpolated as Doc values which may include breaking spaces, and reflowing occurs after template interpolation rather than before.
- Remove code from the LaTeX, Docbook, and JATS writers that looked in the template for strings to determine whether it is a book or an article, or whether csquotes is used. This was always kludgy and unreliable.
- Change template code to use new API for doctemplates.
- Pandoc templates now support a number of new features that
have been added in doctemplates: notably,
-
Add
--defaults
/-d
option. This adds the ability to specify a collection of default values for options in a YAML file. For example, one might define a set of defaults for letters, and then dopandoc -d letter myletter.md -o myletter.pdf
. See the documentation of this feature in MANUAL.txt. -
Raise error on unsupported extensions (#4338).
-
The
--list-extensions[=FORMAT]
option now lists only extensions that affect the given FORMAT. -
Add
-L
option as shortcut for--lua-filter
. -
Add
--shift-heading-level-by
option and deprecate--base-heading-level
(#5615). The new option does everything the old one does, but also allows negative shifts. It also promotes the document metadata (if not null) to a level-1 heading with a +1 shift, and demotes an initial level-1 heading to document metadata with a -1 shift. This supports converting documents that use an initial level-1 heading for the document title. -
Allow
--metadata-file
to be used repeatedly to include multiple metadata files (Owen McGrath, #5702). Values in files specified first will be overridden by those in later files. -
--ascii
now uses numerical hex character references (#5718). -
Allow PDF output to stdout (#5751). PDF output now behaves like other binary formats: it will not be output to the terminal, but can be sent to stdout using either
-o -
or a pipe. The intermediate format will be determined based on the setting of--pdf-engine
. -
Make some writers sensitive to ‘unlisted’ class on headings (#1762). If this is present on a heading with the ‘unnumbered’ class, the heading won’t appear in the TOC. This class has no effect if ‘unnumbered’ is not also specified. This affects HTML-based writers (including slide shows and EPUB), LateX (including beamer), RTF, and PowerPoint. Other writers do not yet support
unlisted
. -
Fix
gfm_auto_identifiers
behavior with emojis (#5813). Note that we also now use emoji names for emojis whenascii_identifiers
is enabled. -
When
--ipynb-output
is used with the default “best” format, strip ANSI escape codes for non-ipynb output (#5633). These cause problems in many formats, including LaTeX. -
Don’t look for template files remotely for remote input (#5579). Previously pandoc would look for the template at a remote URL when a URL was used for the input file, instead of taking it from the data directory.
-
Allow combining
-Vheader-includes
and--include-in-header
(#5904). Previouslyheader-includes
set as a variable would be clobbered by material included using--include-in-header
. -
Change merge behavior for metadata. Previously, if a document contained two YAML metadata blocks that set the same field, the conflict would be resolved in favor of the first. Now it is resolved in favor of the second (due to a change in pandoc-types). This makes the behavior more uniform with other things in pandoc (such as reference links and
--metadata-file
). -
Don’t add a newline to fragment output if there’s already one.
-
Change exit codes and document in MANUAL.txt:
PandocAppError
was 1, is now 4PandocOptionError
was 2, is now 6PandocMakePDFError
was 65, is now 66
-
Switch to new pandoc-types and use Text instead of String [API change]. (Christian Despres, #5884).
-
HTML reader:
- Better handling of
<q>
with cite attribute (#5798, Ole Martin Ruud). If a<q>
tag has acite
attribute, we interpret it as a Quoted element with an inner Span. - Add support for HTML
<samp>
element (#5792, Amogh Rathore). The<samp>
element is parsed as Code with classsample
. - Add support for HTML
<var>
element (#5799, Amogh Rathore). The<var>
element is parsed as Code with classvariable
. - Add support for
<mark>
elements (Florian B, #5797). Parse<mark>
elements from HTML as Spans with classmark
. - Add support for
<kbd>
elements, parsing them as Span with classkbd
(Daniele D’Orazio, #5796). - Add support for
<dfn>
, parsing this as a Span with classdfn
(#5882, Florian Beeres).
- Better handling of
-
Markdown reader:
- Headers: don’t parse content over newline boundary (#5714).
- Handle inline code more eagerly within lists (Brian Leung, #5627).
- Removed some needless lookaheads.
- Don’t parse footnote body unless extension enabled.
- Fix small super/subscript issue (#5878). Superscripts and subscripts cannot contain spaces, but newlines were previously allowed (unintentionally). This led to bad interactions in some cases with footnotes. With this change newlines are also not allowed inside super/subscripts.
- Use
take1WhileP
forstr
, table row. This yields a small but measurable performance improvement.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Fix parsing of optional arguments that contain braced text (#5740).
- Don’t try to parse includes if
raw_tex
is set (#5673). When theraw_tex
extension is set, we just carry through\usepackage
,\input
, etc. verbatim as raw LaTeX. - Properly handle optional arguments for macros (#5682).
- Fix
\\
in\parbox
inside a table cell (#5711). - Improve
withRaw
so it can handle cases where the token string is modified by a parser (e.g. accent when it only takes part of a Word token) (#5686). This fixes a bug that caused the ends of certain documents to be dropped. - Handle
\passthrough
macro used by latex writer (#5659). - Support tex
\tt
command (#5654). - Search for image with list of extensions like latex does, if an extension is not provided (#4933).
- Handle
\looseness
command values better (#4439). - Add
mbox
andhbox
handling (Vasily Alferov, #5586). When+raw_tex
is enabled, these are passed through literally. Otherwise, they are handled in a way that emulates LaTeX’s behavior. - Properly handle
\providecommand
and\provideenvironment
(#5635). They are now ignored if the corresponding command or environment is already defined. - Support epigraph command in LaTeX Reader (oquechy, #3523).
- Ensure that expanded macros in raw LaTeX end with a space if the original did (#4442).
- Treat
ly
environment from lilypond as verbatim (Urs Liska, #5671). - Add
tikzcd
to list of special environments (Eigil Rischel). This allows it to be processed by filters, in the same way that one can do fortikzpicture
.
-
Roff reader:
- Better support for
while
. - More improvements in parsing conditionals.
- Fix problem parsing comments before macro.
- Improve handling of groups.
- Better parsing of groups (#5410). We now allow groups
where the closing
\\}
isn’t at the beginning of a line.
- Better support for
-
RST reader:
- Keep
name
property inimgAttr
(Brian Leung, #5619). - Fixed parsing of indented blocks (#5753). We were requiring consistent indentation, but this isn’t required by RST.
- Use title, not admonition-title, for admonition title. This puts RST reader into alignment with docbook reader.
- Don’t strip final underscore from absolute URI (#5763).
- Avoid spurious warning when resolving links to internal anchors
ending with
_
(#5763).
- Keep
-
Org reader:
- Accept
ATTR_LATEX
in block attributes (Albert Krewinkel, #5648). Attributes for LaTeX output are accepted as valid block attributes; however, their values are ignored. - Modify handling of example blocks (Brian Leung, #5717).
- Allow the
-i
switch to ignore leading spaces (Brian Leung). - Handle awkwardly-aligned code blocks within lists (Brian Leung).
Code blocks in Org lists must have their
#+BEGIN_
aligned in a reasonable way, but their other components can be positioned otherwise. - Fix parsing of empty comment lines (#5856, Albert Krewinkel). Comment lines in Org-mode can be completely empty.
- Accept
-
Muse reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Add RTL support (#5551).

DokuWiki reader:
- Parse markup inside monospace (’’) (#5916, Alexander Krotov).
-
Docx reader:
- Move style-parsing-specific code to a new unexported module, Text.Pandoc.Readers.Docx.Parse.Styles (Nikolay Yakimov).
- Move StyleMap to docx writer (Nikolay Yakimov).
- Only use LTR when it is overriding BiDi setting (#5723, Jesse
Rosenthal). The left-to-right direction setting in docx is used
in the spec only for overriding an explicit right-to-left setting.
We only process it when it happens in a paragraph set with BiDi.
This is especially important for docs exported from Google Docs,
which explicitly (and unnecessarily) set
rtl=0
for every paragraph. - Fix list number resumption for sublists (#4324). The first list item of a sublist should not resume numbering from the number of the last sublist item of the same level, if that sublist was a sublist of a different list item.
-
Docbook reader:
- Richer parse for admonitions (Michael Peyton Jones, #1234). Instead of parsing admonitions as blockquotes, we now parse them as Divs with an appropriate class. We also handle titles for admonitions as a nested Div with the “title” class.
- Fix nesting of chapters and sections (#5864, Florian Klink, Félix Baylac-Jacqué).
- Fix bug with entities in mathphrase element (#5885).
-
MediaWiki reader:
- Skip optional
{{table}}
template (#5757).
- Skip optional
-
LaTeX reader:
- Fix dollar-math parsing to ensure that space is left between a control sequence and a following letter (#5836).
- In
untokenize
, ensure space between control sequence and following letter (#5836). - Don’t omit macro definitions defined in the preamble.
These were formerly omitted (though they still affected macro
resolution if
latex_macros
was set). Now they are included in the document body. - Parse macro definitions as raw LaTeX when
latex_macros
is disabled. (Whenlatex_macros
is enabled, we omit them, since pandoc is applying the macros itself.) - Fix a hang/memory leak in certain circumstances (#5845).
- Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX.Parsing: add
[Tok]
parameter torawLaTeXParser
. This allows us to repeat retokenizing unnecessarily in e.g.rawLaTeXBlock
. - Add KOMA-Script metadata commands (#5910, Andrew Dunning).
Add all titling commands to existing definition for
\dedication
. - Parse
\micro
siunitx unit command (#5921, Jose Luis Duran).
-
Markdown writer:
- Ensure proper nesting when we have long ordered list markers (#5705).
- Make
plain
output plainer (#5741). Previously we used the following Project Gutenberg conventions for plain output: extra space before and after level 1 and 2 headings, all-caps for strong emphasis, underscores surrounding regular emphasis. Now these conventions are used only when thegutenberg
extension is enabled. By default, Strong and Emph are rendered without special formatting, and headings are rendered without special formatting, and with only one blank line following. To restore the former behavior, use-t plain+gutenberg
. - Prefer using raw_attribute when enabled (#4311).
The
raw_attribute
will be used to mark raw bits, even HTML and LaTeX, and even whenraw_html
andraw_tex
are enabled, as they are by default. To get the old behavior, disableraw_attribute
in the writer. - Prefer
pipe_tables
to raw HTML even when we must lose width information (#2608, #4497). - Improve escaping in list items (#5918).
-
AsciiDoc writer:
- Don’t include
+
in code blocks for regular asciidoc. This is asciidoctor-specific. - Handle admonitions (#5690).
- Don’t include
-
LaTeX writer:
- Add thin space when needed in LaTeX quote ligatures (#5684).
- Use
\hspace{0pt}
for 0-width space U+200B (#5756). - Use
cslreferences
environment for csl bibliographies. This allows bibliographies to receive special formatting. The template now contains definition of this environment (enabled only when CSL is used). It also defines a\cslhangindent
length. This is set to 2em by default when the bibliography style specifies a hanging indent. To override the length, you can use e.g.\setlength{\cslhangindent}{7em}
in header-includes. See jgm/pandoc-citeproc#410. - Strip off
{}
around locator for biblatex/natbib output (#5722). - Fix line breaks at start of paragraph (#3324).
Previously we just omitted these. Now we render them
using
\hfill\break
instead of\\
. This is a revision of a PR by @sabine (#5591) who should be credited with the idea. - We no longer look in the template or header-includes to see if a
book or article documentclass is used, or to see whether the
csquotes
package is used. To usecsquotes
for LaTeX, setcsquotes
in your variables or metadata. To specify a book style, use thedocumentclass
variable or--top-level-division
. - Fix horizontal rule (#5801). We change to use 0.5pt rather than
\linethickness
, which apparently only ever worked “by accident” and no longer works with recent updates to texlive.
-
ConTeXt writer:
- Add option to include source files in ConTeXt PDFs (Tristan
Stenner, #5578). The metadata field or variable
(
includesource
) can be set to attach the source documents to the resulting PDF. - Customizable type of PDF/A for the ConTeXt writer (Karl
Pettersson, #5608). The
pdfa
variable may now be set in metadata. Also updated color profile settings in accordance with ConTeXt wiki, and made ICC profile and output intent for PDF/A customizable usingpdfaiccprofile
andpdfaintent
. - Unit tests: adjust code property to avoid an irrelevant failure involving inline code with two consecutive newlines.
- Set
csl-hanging-indent
variable if needed. - Use special environment for CSL references.
- Use braces, not start/stop, for inline language tags. This prevents unwanted gobbling of spaces.
- Add option to include source files in ConTeXt PDFs (Tristan
Stenner, #5578). The metadata field or variable

HTML writer:
- Use numeric character references with
--ascii
(#5718). Previously we used named character references with html5 output. But these aren’t valid XML, and we aim to produce html5 that is also valid XHTML (polyglot markup). (This is also needed for epub3.) - Ensure that line numbers in code blocks get id-prefix (#5650).
- Ensure TeX formulas are rendered correctly (Philip Pesca,
#5658). The web service passed in to
--webtex
may render formulas using inline or display style by default. Prefixing formulas with the appropriate command ensures they are rendered correctly. - Render inline formulas correctly with
--webtex
(Philip Pesca, #5655). We add\textstyle
to the beginning of the formula to ensure it will be rendered in inline style. - Pass through
aria-
attributes to HTML5 (#5642). - Render a Quoted element with an inner Span with
cite
attribute using a<q>
tag (#5798, Ole Martin Ruud). - Render a Span with class
mark
using the<mark>
element (Florian Beeres, #5797). - Render Span with class
dfn
using<dfn>
element (Florian Beeres, #5882). - Render Span with class
kbd
using<kbd>
element (Daniele D’Orazio, #5796). - Render Code with class

using<var>
element (Amogh Rathore, #5799). - Render Code with class
sample
using<samp>
element (Amogh Rathore, #5799).
- Use numeric character references with
-
EPUB writer:
- Improve splitting into chapters (#5761), using
makeSection
. - Avoid issuing warning multiple times when title not set (see #5760).
- Use svg tag wrapper for cover image (#5638). In addition, the code generating the image has been moved to the template, to make it more customizable. NOTE: Those who use custom EPUB templates will need to adjust their templates, adding the code to generate the cover image. (Previously this was just inserted into ‘body’.)
- Improve toChapters, making it work better if there are Divs around sections.
- Add support for EPUB2 covers (blmage, #3992).
- Do not override existing “fileN” medias when writing to EPUB format (blmage, #4206).
- Ensure that
lang
variable is set on all chapters (so that it will add anxml:lang
attribute on thehtml
element).
- Improve splitting into chapters (#5761), using

RST writer:
- Removed remnants of
admonition-title
. - Fix handling of
:align:
on figures and images (#4420). When the image has thealign-right
(etc.) class, we now use an:align:
attribute. - Improve spacing for tables with no width information (#5899). If a simple table would be too wide, we use a grid table.
- Fix backslash escaping after strings (Albert Krewinkel, #5906). The check whether a complex inline element following a string must be escaped, now depends on the last character of the string instead of the first.
- Ensure there’s a blank line before tables (#5898).
- Removed remnants of

Dokuwiki writer:
- Handle mixed lists without HTML fallback (#5107).

Muse writer:
- Add RTL support (Alexander Krotov, #5551).
-
Man writer:
- Suppress non-absolute link URLs (#5770). Absolute URLs are still printed in parentheses following the link text, but relative URLs are suppressed (just as internal links starting with ‘#’ always have been).
- Improved definition list term output. Now we boldface code but not other things. This matches the most common style in man pages (particularly option lists).
-
Ms writer:
- Use
.LP
instead of.PP
for line block (#5588). - Use boldface for definition terms in DefinitionLists.
- Use

JATS writer:
- Do not emit empty

(Mauro Bieg, #5595). - Update template to v1.1dtd (#5632, Arfon Smith).
- Update
data/jats.csl
to avoid commas between editor name-part elements. (#5629) - Add
abstract
to template (Mauro Bieg).
- Do not emit empty

TEI writer:
- Don’t strip hash from internal links (#5922).
-
Jira writer:
- Remove escapeStringForJira for code blocks (Jan-Otto Kröpke).
- Remove extraneous newline after single-line block quotes (#5858, Albert Krewinkel).
- Improve escaping of special characters, using backslash escapes instead of HTML entities (#5858, Albert Krewinkel).
-
OpenDocument writer:
- Avoid duplicate attributes (#4634). We use the innermost attribute in nested cases.
- If
native_numbering
extension is set, use native OpenDocument enumeration for figures and tables (Nils Carlson). - Place caption before table (#5681, Dmitry Pogodin).
-
ODT writer:
- Add a test for MathML formulas in ODT documents (blmage).
- Improve the parsing of frames in ODT documents (blmage).
-
Docx writer:
- Make handling of styles more robust in localized versions
of Word (Nikolay Yakimov, #5523, #5052, #5074). We now use
style names, not ids, for assigning semantic meaning, since
the ids can change depending on the locale. Style name
comparisons are case-insensitive, since those are
case-insensitive in Word. Since docx style names can have
spaces in them, and pandoc-markdown classes can’t, anywhere
when style name is used as a class name, spaces are
replaced with ASCII dashes
-
. Code styles, i.e. “Source Code” and “Verbatim Char” now honor style inheritance. Docx Reader now honours “Compact” style (used in Pandoc-generated docx). The side-effect is that “Compact” style no longer shows up in docx+styles output. Styles inherited from “Compact” will still show up. - Re-use Readers.Docx.Parse for StyleMap (#5766, Nikolay Yakimov).
- Internal improvements and code simplification (Nikolay Yakimov).
- Preserve built-in styles in DOCX with custom style (Ben Steinberg, #5670). This change prevents custom styles on divs and spans from overriding styles on certain elements inside them, like headings, blockquotes, and links. On those elements, the “native” style is required for the element to display correctly. This change also allows nesting of custom styles; in order to do so, it removes the default “Compact” style applied to Plain blocks, except when inside a table.
- Add
proofState
to list of elements carried over from settings.xml in the reference.docx (Krystof Beuermann, #5703). - Change order of
ilvl
andnumId
indocument.xml
(Agustín Martín Barbero, #5645). Also, make list para properties go first. This reordering of properties shouldn’t be necessary but it seems Word Online does not understand the docx correctly otherwise.

PowerPoint writer:
- Code formatting is now context dependent (Jeroen de Haas, #5573).
This commit alters the way in which the Powerpoint writer treats
inline code and code blocks. Inline code is now formatted at
the same size as the surrounding text. Code blocks are now given
a margin and font size according to their level.
Furthermore this commit allows changing the font with which code is
formatted via the
monofont
option. - Start numbering at appropriate numbers (Jesse Rosenthal, #5709). Starting numbers for ordered lists were previously ignored. Now we specify the number if it is something other than 1.
- Code formatting is now context dependent (Jeroen de Haas, #5573).

andgridTableWith'
polymorphic in the parser state, constraining it withHasLastStrPosition
[API change]. parseFromString'

- For PDFs via HTML, ensure temp file is deleted even if the pdf program is not found (#5720).
- Better detection of a Cygwin environment (#5451).
- Don’t assume tex log file is UTF8-encoded (#5872). Fall back to latin1 if it can’t be read as UTF-8.
-
Text.Pandoc.Extensions:
- Export new function
getAllExtensions
, which returns the extensions that affect a given format (whether enabled by default or not) [API change]. - Change type of
parseFormatSpec
fromEither ParseError (String, Extensions -> Extensions)
toEither ParseError (String, [Extension], [Extension])
[API change]. - Add
Ext_gutenberg
constructor toExtension
[API change]. - Add
Ext_native_numbering
constructor toExtension
[API change] (Nils Carlson).
- Export new function
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers, Text.Pandoc.Writers:
- Change type of
getReader

Lua filters:
- Improve function documentation (Albert Krewkinkel).
- Traverse nested blocks and inlines in correct order (Albert Krewinkel, #5667). Traversal methods are updated to use the new Walk module so that sequences with nested Inline (or Block) elements are traversed in the order in which they appear in the linearized document.
- New unexported module
Text.Pandoc.Lua.Walk
(Albert Krewinkel). Lua filters must be able to traverse sequences of AST elements and to replace elements by splicing sequences back in their place. SpecialWalkable
instances can be used for this; those are provided in a new moduleText.Pandoc.Lua.Walk
. Attr
values can now be given as normal Lua tables (Albert Krewinkel, #5744). This can be used as a convenient alternative to constructingAttr
values withpandoc.Attr
. Identifiers are taken from theid
field, classes must be given as space separated words in theclass
field. All remaining fields are included as attributes. With this change, the following lines now create equal elements:
This also works when using the attr setter:pandoc.Span('test', {id = 'test', class = 'a b', check = 1}) pandoc.Span('test', pandoc.Attr('test', {'a','b'}, {check = 1}))
Furthermore, the attributes field of AST elements can now be a plain key-value table even when using thelocal span = pandoc.Span 'text' span.attr = {id = 'test', class = 'a b', check = 1}
attributes
accessor:local span = pandoc.Span 'test' span.attributes = {check = 1} -- works as expected now
- Export
make_sections
, removehierarchicalize
. Lua filters that usehierarchicalize
will need to be rewritten to usemake_sections
. - Add a
clone()
method to all AST elements (Albert Krewinkel, #5568). - Fix Lua function names in pandoc.system (niszet). Change
get_current_directory
toget_working_directory
andwith_temp_directory
towith_temporary_directory
, to conform to the manual.

Text.Pandoc.Error:
- Add constructors
PandocUnknownReaderError

Text.Pandoc.Shared:
- Replace
Element
andmakeHierarchical
withmakeSections
. Now that we have Divs, we can use them to represent the structure of sections, and we don’t need a special Element type.makeSections
reorganizes a block list, adding Divs with classsection
around sections, and adding numbering if needed. This change also fixes some longstanding issues recognizing section structure when the document contains Divs (#3057, see also #997). - Remove

so it handlesABCDef
better. - Improve
isTight
(#5857). If a list has an empty item, this should not count against its being a tight list. - Export
htmlSpanLikeElements
[API change] (Daniele D’Orazio, #5796). This is a mapping of HTML span-like elements that are internally represented as a Span with a single class. - Change the implementation of
htmlSpanLikeElements
to retain classes and attributes (#5882, Florian Beeres).
- Replace

,CiteMethod
,ObfuscationMethod
,TrackChanges
,WrapOption
,TopLevelDivision
,ReferenceLocation
,HTMLSlideVariant
(#5790). In each case we use lowercase (or hyphenated lowercase) for constructors to line up more closely with command-line option values. This is a breaking change for those who manually decode or encode JSON for these data types (e.g. forReaderOptions
orWriterOptions
).
- Change type of

Text.Pandoc.Filters:
- Add
FromYAML
instance forFilter
. applyFilters
: Add and apply filters in order (not reversed) This changesapplyFilters
from Text.Pandoc.Filter so that it does a left fold rather than a right fold, applying the filters in the order listed.
- Add

Text.Pandoc.Highlighting:
- Add additional listings languages (Wandmalfarbe).
-
Text.Pandoc.MediaBag:
- Some of the types using Strings were switched to use FilePath instead (Christian Despres, #5884).
-
Text.Pandoc.Templates:
- Don’t import/export
varListToJSON
[API change]. It is removed in doctemplates >= 0.3. - Change type of
renderTemplate'
[API change]. Return value is now Text rather than being polymorphic. This makes room for upcoming removal of theTemplateTarget
class from doctemplates.
- Don’t import/export
-
Text.Pandoc.App.Opt [API changes]:
- More convenient To/FromJSON instances. Make the field names
like
strip-empty-paragraphs
rather thanoptStripEmptyParagraphs
. Anyone who is using JSON serialization of Opt will need to adjust things accordingly. - Change
optHighlightStyle
to aMaybe String
instead ofMaybe Style
. Do the parsing/loading of themes later, after option parsing. - Remove
optBaseHeaderLevel
fromOpt
. We now just useoptShiftHeadingLevelBy
, to avoid redundancy. - Change
optShiftHeadingLevel
tooptShiftHeadingLevelBy
to match the option. - Custom FromJSON instance for
LineEnding
, so eitherCRLF
orcrlf
will work. - Change
optVariables
from[(String, String)]
toContext Text
. - Change
optMetadata
toMeta
, to allow structured values. The current behavior of the--metadata
option stays the same. - Rename
optReader
,optWriter

FromYAML
instances toOpt
and to all subsidiary types. - Rename
optMetadataFile
tooptMetadataFiles
. - Rename
optPDFEngineArgs

IpynbOutput
enumerated type: use this instead of a string foroptIpynbOutput
. - Change optInputFiles to a
Maybe [FilePath]
(#5888) [API change].Nothing
means: nothing specified.Just []
means: an empty list specified (e.g. in defaults). - List fields in Opt so they aren’t reversed (#5881) [API change].
Previously
optIncludeInHeader
, etc. were in reverse order. - The
sourcefile
variable is now always a list. It used to be sometimes a string, sometimes a list (when there was more than one).
- More convenient To/FromJSON instances. Make the field names
like
-
Template changes:
- default.latex: added code for
cslreferences
environment, to be used for pandoc-citeproc references. Acsl-hanging-indent
variable (set automatically if there is ahanging-ident
class on the references Div) controls whether contents of this environment receive a hanging indent. - default.latex: Add
space
as default option for xeCJK, so that spaces between words are preserved (#5855, jeongminkim-islab). This is necessary for Korean. - default.latex: Remove include of
grffile
(#5848). This package used to be needed for proper handling of image filenames containing periods (in addition to the period before the extension). It no longer works with the latest LaTeX kernel and graphicx, so we have removed it. Future versions of graphicx will handle these filenames without the need forgrffile
. - default.context: add a saner default for page numbers.
Previously they appeared centered at the top of the page;
now we put them centered at the bottom, unless the
pagenumbering
variable is set. - default.context: define a start-stop-pair
cslreferences
to allow for hanging indents in the bibliography (#5875, Denis Maier). - default.ms: update defaults. Use Palatino font, use slightly wider interparagraph space, don’t indent paragraphs, and put page numbers on the bottom. This brings ms output closer to default LaTeX output.
- default.revealjs: add navigationMode (Mauro Bieg, #5657).
- default.muse: handle multiple authors better.
- docbook4, docbook5 templates: add indentation to body.
- HTML-based templates: use
styles.html
partial to avoid code duplication. - HTML-based templates: change indentation of styles in template.
- default.latex: added code for
-
reference.docx (#5820):
- Change Block Text (block quote) style so that the same font is used as in the body text, and the block text is indented left and right.
- All headings now have a uniform color.
- Level-1 headings no longer set
w:themeShade="B5"
. - Level-2 headings are now 14 point rather than 16 point.
- Level-3 headings are now 12 point rather than 14 point.
- Level-4 headings are italic rather than bold.
-
epub.css: Add CSS for hanging-indent div to support pandoc-citeproc’s new hanging indents.
-
pandoc.cabal:
- Repeat ghc-options in all stanzas.
- Remove conditionals for ghc < 8 (Albert Krewinkel, #5693).
- Compile with
-Wcpp-undef
and-fhide-source-paths
when possible (Albert Krewinkel). - Add cabal.project to extra-source-files (Albert Krewinkel).
- Add dependency on skylighting-core (#5729). Even though it shouldn’t be needed, some tools require it.
- Require latest pandoc-types, texmath, skylighting, haddock-library.
- Ensure TemplateHaskell is added to other-extensions when it is used (Vanessa McHale, #5728).
- Remove
derive_json_via_th
flag; always use TH. This cuts down on code duplication and reduces the chance for errors. See #4083.
-
Makefile:
- Add ghci target.
- Add ghcid target.
- Remove references to obsolete flag (#5694).
-
Benchmarks: fix failure on ipynb.

Use MathJax 3 (zorkow).
-
KaTeX math: respect

variable, bump KaTeX version to 0.11.1 (#5815, Mauro Bieg). -
Fix redundant constraint compiler warnings (Pete Ryland, #5625).
-
Use throwError instead of fail when appropriate.
-
Use Prelude.fail to avoid ambiguity with fail from GHC.Base.
-
Add
diff-zip.sh
to tools (John MacFarlane, Agustín Martín Barbero). This is intended to make it easier to test differences in zip containers, like epub, docx, or odt. -
Add
.gitattributes
(#5747). This ensures that the golden files intest/fb2/reader/
don’t have newlines converted. This should fix a test failure on GitHub CI with Windows. -
Reorder options in

pandoc 2.7.3 (2019-06-11)
-
Add
jira
(Atlassian’s Jira wiki markup) as output format (#2497, Albert Krewinkel). -
Add
tex_math_dollars
tomultimarkdownExtensions
(#5512). This form is now supported in multimarkdown, in addition totex_math_double_backslash
. -
Fix
--self-contained
so it works when output format has extensions. Previously if you used--self-contained
withhtml-smart
orhtml+smart
, it wouldn’t work. -
Add template variable
curdir
with working directory from which pandoc is run (#5464). -
Markdown reader: don’t create implicit reference for empty header (#5549).
-
Muse reader: allow images inside link descriptions (Alexander Krotov).
-
HTML reader: epub related fixes.
- With epub extensions, check for
epub:type
in addition totype
. - Fix problem with noteref parsing which caused block-level content to be eaten with the noteref.
- Rename
pAnyTag
topAny
. - Refactor note resolution.
- Trim definition list terms (Alexander Krotov).
- With epub extensions, check for
-
LaTeX reader:
- Add braces when resolving
\DeclareMathOperator
(#5441). These seem to be needed for xelatex but not pdflatex. - Allow newlines in
\mintinline
. - Pass through unknown listings language as class (#5540). Previously if the language was not in the list of languages supported by listings, it would not be added as a class, so highlighting would not be triggered.
rawLaTeXInline
: Include trailing{}
s in raw latex commands (#5439). This change affects the markdown reader and other readers that allow raw LaTeX. Previously, trailing{}
would be included for unknown commands, but not for known commands. However, they are sometimes used to avoid a trailing space after the command. The chances that a{}
after a LaTeX command is not part of the command are very small.
- Add braces when resolving
-
MediaWiki reader: handle multiple attributes in table row (#5471, chinapedia).
-
Docx reader: Add support for
w:rtl
(#5545). Elements with this property are put into Span inlines withdir="rtl"
. -
DocBook reader: Issue
IgnoredElement
warnings. -
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel):
- Fix planning elements in headers level 3 and higher (#5494). Planning info is now always placed before the subtree contents. Previously, the planning info was placed after the content if the header’s subtree was converted to a list, which happens with headers of level 3 and higher per default.
- Omit, but warn about unknown export options. Unknown export options are properly ignored and omitted from the output.
- Prefer plain symbols over math symbols (#5483).
Symbols like
\alpha
are output plain and unemphasized, not as math. - Recognize emphasis after TODO/DONE keyword (#5484).
-
FB2 reader:
- Skip unknown elements rather than throwing errors (#5560).
Sometimes custom elements are used (e.g.
id
element insideauthor
); previously the reader would halt with an error. Now it skips the element and issues anIgnoredElement
warning. - Parse notes (#5493, Alexander Krotov).
- Internal improvements (Alexander Krotov).
- Skip unknown elements rather than throwing errors (#5560).
Sometimes custom elements are used (e.g.
-
OpenDocument writer: Roll back automatic figure/table numbering (#5474). This was added in pandoc 2.7.2, but it makes it impossible to use pandoc-crossref. So this has been rolled back for now, until we find a good solution to make this behavior optional (or a creative way to let pandoc-crossref and this feature to coexist).
-
New module Text.Pandoc.Writers.Jira, exporting
writeJira
[API change] (Albert Krewinkel). -
EPUB writer:
- Don’t include ‘landmarks’ if there aren’t any. Previously we could get an empty ol element, which caused validation errors with epubcheck.
- Ensure unique ids for styleesheets in content.opf (#5463).
- Make stylesheet link compatible with kindlegen (#5466,
Eric Schrijver). Pandoc omitted
type="text/css"
from both<style>
and<rel="stylesheet">
elements in all templates, which is valid according to the spec. However, Amazon’s kindlegen software relies on this attribute on<link>
elements when detecting stylesheets to include.
-
HTML writer:
- Output video and audio elements depending on file extension of the image path (Mauro Bieg).
- Emit empty alt tag in figures (#5518, Mauro Bieg). The same text is already in the and screen-readers would read it twice, see #4737.
- Don’t add variation selector if it’s already there. This fixes round-trip failures.
- Prevent gratuitous emojification on iOS (#5469).
iOS chooses to render a number of Unicode entities, including ‘↩’, as
big colorful emoji. This can be defeated by appending Unicode
VARIATION SELECTOR-15’/‘VARIATION SELECTOR-16’. So we now append this
character when escaping strings, for both ‘↩’ and ‘↔’. If other
characters prove problematic, they can simply be added to
needsVariationSelector
. + Addclass="heading"
to level 7+ Headers rendered as<p>
elements (#5457).
-
RST writer: treat Span with no attributes as transparent (#5446). Previously an Emph inside a Span was being treated as nested markup and ignored. With this patch, the Span is just ignored.
-
LaTeX writer:
- Include inline code attributes with
--listings
(#5420). - Don’t produce columns environment unless beamer (#5485).
- Fix footnote in image caption. Regression: the fix for #4683 broke this case.
- Don’t highlight code in headings (#5574). This causes compilation errors.
- Use
\mbox
to get proper behavior inside\sout
(#5529).
- Include inline code attributes with
-
EPUB writer: Fix document section assignments (#5546). For example, introduction should go in bodymatter, not frontmatter, and epigraph, conclusion, and afterward should go in bodymatter, not backmatter. For the full list of assignments, see the manual.
-
Markdown writer:
- Add backslashes to avoid unwanted interpretation of definition list terms as other kinds of block (#554).
- Ensure the code fence is long enough (#5519). Previously too few backticks were used when the code block contained an indented line of backticks. (Ditto tildes.)
- Handle labels with integer names (Jesse Rosenthal, #5495).
Previously if labels had integer names, it could produce a conflict
with auto-labeled reference links. Now we test for a conflict and
find the next available integer. This involves adding a new state
variable
stPrevRefs
to keep track of refs used in other document parts when using--reference-location=block|section
-
Textile writer: fix closing tag for math output (Albert Krewinkel). Opening and closing tag for math output match now.
-
Org writer: always indent src blocks content by 2 spaces (#5440, Albert Krewinkel). Emacs always uses two spaces when indenting the content of src blocks, e.g., when exiting a
C-c '
edit-buffer. Pandoc used to indent contents by the space-equivalent of one tab, but now always uses two spaces, too. -
Asciidoc writer:
- Use
`+...+`
form for inline code. The old`a__b__c`
yields emphasis inside code in asciidoc. To get a pure literal code span, use`+a__b__c+`
. - Use proper smart quotes with asciidoctor (#5487). Asciidoctor has a different format for smart quotes.
- Use doubled ## when necessary for spans (#5566).
- Ensure correct nesting of strong/emph (#5565): strong must be the outer element.
- Use
-
JATS writer:
- Wrap elements with p when needed (#5570). The JATS spec restricts
what elements can go inside
fn
andlist-item
. So we wrap other elements inside<p specific-use="wrapper">
when needed. - Properly handle footnotes (#5511) according to “best practice.”
(Group them at the end in
<fn-group>
and use<xref>
elements to link them.) - Fix citations with PMID so they validate (#5481). This includes an update to data/jats.csl.
- Ensure validity of
<pub-date>
by parsing the date and extracting year, month, and day, as expected. Also add an iso-8601-date attribute automatically. - Don’t use
<break>
element for LineBreak. It is only allowed in a few special contexts, and not in<p>
elements. - Don’t make
<string-name>
a child of<string>
, which is illegal.
- Wrap elements with p when needed (#5570). The JATS spec restricts
what elements can go inside
-
FB2 writer:
- Do not wrap note references into
<sup>
and brackets (Alexander Krotov). Existing FB2 readers, such as FBReader, already display links with type=“note” as a superscript. - Use genre metadata field (#5478).
- Do not wrap note references into
-
Muse writer: do not escape empty line after
<br>
(Alexander Krotov). -
Add unicode code point in “Missing character” warning (#5538). If the character isn’t in the console font, the message is pretty useless, so we show the code point for anything non-ASCII.
-
Lua: add Version type to simplify comparisons (Albert Krewinkel). Version specifiers like
PANDOC_VERSION
andPANDOC_API_VERSION
are turned intoVersion
objects. The objects simplify version-appropriate comparisons while maintaining backward-compatibility. A functionpandoc.types.Version
is added as part of the newly introduced modulepandoc.types
, allowing users to create version objects in scripts. -
pandoc lua module (Albert Krewinkel):
- Fix deletion of nonexistent attributes (#5569).
- Better tests for Attr and AttributeList.
-
pandoc.mediabag lua module (Albert Krewinkel):
- Add function
delete
for deleting a single item. - Add function
empty
for removing all entries. - Add function
items
for iterating over mediabag.
- Add function
-
Text.Pandoc.Class: Fix handling of
file:
URL scheme indownloadOrRead
(#5517, Mauro Bieg). Previouslyfile:/
URLs were handled wrongly and pandoc attempted to make HTTP requests, which failed. -
Text.Pandoc.MIME: add
mediaCategory
[API change] (Mauro Bieg). -
Text.Pandoc.Shared:
- Add
onlySimpleTableCells
[API change] (Mauro Bieg) and use this to consolidate simple-table detection (#5524). This fixes an inconsistency in the HTML reader, which did not treat tables with<p>
inside cells as simple. metaToJSON
: treat digits starting with 0 as a string, not a number (#5479). This fixes a regression in YAML metadata in pandoc 2.7.2.
- Add
-
Text.Pandoc.Logging: Add
IgnoredElement
constructor forLogMessage
.SkippedConetnt
doesn’t work for some XML-based readers which don’t have access to parsec source positions. -
Text.Pandoc.Asciify: Add Turkish undotted-i (#5433, Mauro Bieg).
-
Improve output of Lua tests (#5499, Albert Krewinkel). This makes use of tasty-lua, a package to write tests in Lua and integrate the results into Tasty output. Test output becomes more informative: individual tests and test groups become visible in test output. Failures are reported with helpful error messages.
-
Lua: add
pandoc.system
module (#5468, Albert Krewinkel). Thesystem
Lua module provides utility functions to interact with the operating- and file system. E.g.print(pandoc.system.get_current_directory())
orpandoc.system.with_temporary_directory('tikz', function (dir) -- write and compile a TikZ file with pdflatex end)
-
LaTeX template: Add pdflang to hypersetup if lang is set (#5443).
-
beamer template: Fix using Beamer with geometry (#5505, Daniel Maslowski). Beamer already loads geometry, so we need to use the
\geometry
command to set geometry options. -
EPUB2/3 templates: Move inline styles to default epub.css (#5466). NOTE: Those who use a custom CSS stylesheet with EPUB should add these lines:
code{ white-space: pre-wrap; } span.smallcaps{ font-variant: small-caps; } span.underline{ text-decoration: underline; } q { quotes: "“" "”" "‘" "’"; } div.column{ display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; width: 50%; }
-
reveal.js template:
- Updates for revealjs 3.8.0 (#5435, ebiim).
- Remove reference to head.min.js (#5448, Winnie Hellmann). NOTE: users will need to update reveal.js to at least 3.8.0 for their presentations generated with this version of pandoc to work correctly.
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF:
- Replace
</>
with literal/
(#5451). We use forward-slash for a directory separator in tmpDir, even on Windows (because that’s what tex likes). So we should not put a backslash between the tmpDir and the filename on Windows. This is harmless enough in normal Windows setups, but it breaks on Cygwin. Thanks to @cc2x for noticing and diagnosing the problem. - Allow use of
-output-directory
in--pdf-engine-opt
(#5462). This is currently possible withmklatex
and-outdir
, but was not yet possible with xelatex and-output-directory
. - For PDF via ms/pdfroff, make TOC appear at beginning and in
PDF bookmarks (#5553). Previously the TOC appeared at the end
of the document, and was not bookmarked. To keep it at the end,
add
--pdf-engine-opt=--no-toc-relocation
to your command line.
- Replace
-
Fix broken links in documents (#5473, Shim Myeongseob). Also, use absolute links to pandoc.org when possible, so that the links can be followed by people viewing these documents on GitHub.
-
Improved sample lua tikz filter in lua-filters docs (#5445, Matthew Doty). There are three changes:
- It only processes elements which begin with
\begin{tikzpicture}
- It uses pdf2svg instead of imagemagick to preserve fidelity
- The images produced have transparent backgrounds
- It only processes elements which begin with
-
MANUAL.txt:
- Add note about
title-meta
,author-meta
,date-meta
(#5486). - Fix typo (#5489, Christian Krause).
- Add note about
-
add test/tables.xwiki to git and pandoc.cabal (#5498, Mauro Bieg).
-
Disable missing-home-modules warning in
stack.yaml
. Otherwisestack ghci
fails.
pandoc 2.7.2 (2019-04-05)
-
Add XWiki writer (#1800, Derek Chen-Becker). Add
Text.Pandoc.Writers.XWiki
, exportingwriteXWiki
[API change]. -
Dokuwiki Reader: parse single curly brace (#5416, Mauro Bieg).
-
Vimwiki reader: improve handling of internal links (#5414). We no longer append
.html
to link targets, and we add a titlewikilink
. This mirrors behavior of other wiki readers. Generally the.html
extension is not wanted. It may be important for output to HTML in certain circumstances, but it can always be added using a filter that matches on links with titlewikilink
.If your workflow requires the current behavior, here is a lua filter that will add the
.html
extension:function Link(el) if el.title == 'wikilink' then el.target = el.target .. ".html" end return el end
-
ipynb reader:
- Use format
ipynb
for raw cell where no format given. - Avoid introducing spurious
.0
on integers in metadata.
- Use format
-
Markdown reader: fenced div takes priority over setext header.
-
HTML reader: read
data-foo
attribute intofoo
(#5392). The HTML writer adds thedata-
prefix for HTML5 for nonstandard attributes. But the attributes are represented in the AST without thedata-
prefix, so we should strip this when reading HTML. -
LaTeX reader: Improve autolink detection (#5340).
-
PowerPoint writer (Jesse Rosenthal):
- Expand builtin reference doc to model all layouts. The previous built-in reference doc had only title and content layouts. Add in a section-header slide and a two-content slide, so users can more easily modify it to build their own templates.
- Always open up in slide view. When editing a template/reference-doc, the user might be in Master view, but when producing a slide show, it is assumed that slide view will be desired.
- Remove
handoutsMasterList
from template presentation.xml - Fix numerous errors in templating (#5402). Previously, some templates
produced by Office 365 (MacOS) would not render with
--reference-doc
correctly. We now apply correct shapes for content, and build shape trees correctly. - Make default placeholder type for template lookup.
- Apply speaker notes to metadata slide if applicable.
- Test for speaker notes after breaking header.
- Correctly handle notes after section-title header. Previously, if notes came after a section-title header (ie, a level-1 header in a slide-level=2 presentation), they would go on the next slide. This keeps them on the slide with the header.
- Internal improvements.
-
ipynb writer:
- Use format
ipynb
for raw cell where no format given. According to nbformat docs, this is supposed to render in every format. We don’t do that, but we at least preserve it as a raw block in markdown, so you can round-trip. - Consolidate adjacent raw blocks. Sometimes pandoc creates two HTML blocks, e.g. one for the open tag and one for a close tag. If these aren’t consolidated, only one will show up in output cell.
- Fixed carry-over of nbformat from metadata.
- Preserve
nbformat_minor
if it’s given. This helps with round-tripping.
- Use format
-
LaTeX writer:
- Avoid inadvertently creating ?
or !
ligatures (#5407). These are upside down ? and !, resp. - Fix footnotes in table caption and cells (#5367). This fixes a
bug wherein footnotes appeared in the wrong order, and with
duplicate numbers, when in table captions and cells.
We now use regular
\footnote
commands, even in the table caption and the minipages containing cells. Apparently longtable knows how to handle this.
- Avoid inadvertently creating ?
-
HTML writer: Don’t add data- prefix to RDFa attributes (#5403).
-
JATS writer: Ensure that plain strings go inside
<pub-id>
tag (#5397). -
Markdown writer:
- Better rendering of numbers (#5398). If the number is integral, we render it as an integral not a float.
- Proper rendering of empty map in YAML metadata (#5398). Should
be
{}
, not empty string. - Properly escape attributes in Markdown writer (#5369).
- Be sure implicit figures work in list contexts (#5368). Previously they would sometimes not work: e.g., when they occurred in final paragraphs in lists that were originally parsed as Plain and converted later using PlainToPara.
-
Docx writer: Use
w:br
without attributes for line breaks (#5377). We previously added the attributetype="textWrapping"
, but this causes problems on Word Online. -
LaTeX template (Andrew Dunning):
- Ensure correct heading/table order (#5365). Improve workaround
(#1658) for tables following headings. The new solution works whether
or not the
indent
variable is enabled. - Remove
subparagraph
variable. The default is now to use run-in style for level 4 and 5 headings (\paragraph
and\subparagraph
). To get the previous default behavior (where these were formatted as blocks, like\subsubsection
), set theblock-headings
variable. - Add pandoc to PDF metadata (#5388).
- Group graphics-related code (#5389).
- Move
\setstretch
after front matter (#5179). Ensures that\maketitle
,\tableofcontents
, and so forth are not affected by changes to line spacing.
- Ensure correct heading/table order (#5365). Improve workaround
(#1658) for tables following headings. The new solution works whether
or not the
-
Update data/jats.csl to avoid commas between name-part elements (#5397).
-
Add support for golang (
go
) with--listings
(#5427). -
Text.Pandoc.Shared - improve
metaToJSON
behavior with numbers. We now do a better job marshalling numbers from MetaString or MetaInlines into JSON Number. -
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared:
metaValueToJSON
: use Number Values for integers. Pandoc’s MetaValue doesn’t have a distinguished number type, so numbers are put in MetaStrings. If the MetaString consists entirely of digits, we convert it to a Number. We should probably consider adding a MetaNumber constructor to MetaValue, for better round-tripping with JSON etc. This change aids round-tripping in ipynb metadata fields, liketoc_depth
. -
Text.Pandoc.Class:
fetchItem
: don’t treat UNC paths as protocol-relative URLs (#5127). These are paths beginning//?/UNC/...
. -
Text.Pandoc.ImageSize: Improve
pdfSize
so it handles a wider range of PDFs (#4322, with help from Richard Davis). -
Text.Pandoc.Pretty: avoid stack overflow by using strict sum (#5401).
-
Fix harmless error in file-scope code (#5422).
-
MANUAL.txt:
- Improve ‘header’ and ‘heading’ usage (#5423, Andrew Dunning). The term ‘header’ was being used where ‘heading’ is more appropriate.
- Add paragraph on options affecting markdown in ipynb.
-
stack.yaml - remove -Wmissing-home-modules This seems to cause problems with stack ghci. Remove RTS options.
-
Add ghc-options to cabal.project.
-
appveyor.yml - use ghc 8.6.4. Fixes segfault issues on Windows (#5037).
-
linux build process: Remove clone of pandoc-citeproc (#5366). It wasn’t being used; cabal.project specifies the version to use.
pandoc 2.7.1 (2019-03-14)
-
Add tectonic as an option for –pdf-engine (#5345, Cormac Relf). Runs tectonic on STDIN instead of a temporary .tex file, so that it looks in the working directory for
\include
and\input
like the rest of the engines. Allows overriding the output directory args with--pdf-engine-opt=--outdir --pdf-engine-opt="$DIR"
. -
Allow
-o/--output
to be used with--print-default-data-file
,--print-highlighting-style
,--print-default-template
. Note that-o
must occur BEFORE the--print*
command on the command line (this is documented, #5357). -
LaTeX reader:
- Support
\underline
,\ul
,\uline
(#5359, Paul Tilley). These are parsed as a Span with classunderline
, as with other readers. - Ensure that
\Footcite
and\Footcites
get put in a note.
- Support
-
ipynb reader:
- Remove sensitivity to
raw_html
,raw_tex
extensions. We now include every output format. Pruning is handled by--ipynb-output
. - Better handling of cell metadata. We now include even complex cell metadata in the Div’s attributes (as JSON, in complex cases, or as plain strings in simple cases).
- Remove sensitivity to
-
ipynb writer:
- Recurse into native divs for output cell data (#5354).
- Render cell metadata fields from div attributes.
-
Docx writer: avoid extra copy of abstractNum and num elements in numbering.xml. This caused pandoc-produced docx files to be uneditable using Word Online (#5358).
-
Markdown writer: improve handling of raw blocks/inline. We now emit raw content using
raw_attribute
when no more direct method is available. Use ofraw_attribute
can be forced by disablingraw_html
andraw_tex
. -
LaTeX writer: Add classes for frontmatter support (#5353, Andrew Dunning) and remove frontmatter from
scrreprt
. -
LaTeX template:
- Improve readability (#5363, Andrew Dunning).
- Robust section numbering removal (#5351, Andrew Dunning). Ensures that section numbering does not reappear with custom section levels. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/473653/.
- Better handling of front/main/backmatter (#5348).
In pandoc 2.7 we assumed that every class with chapters would accept
\frontmatter
,\mainmatter
, and\backmatter
. This is not so (e.g. report does not). So pandoc 2.7 breaks on report class by including an unsupported command. Instead of thebook-class
variable, we use two variables,has-chapters
andhas-frontmatter
, and set these intelligently in the writer.
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared: Improve
filterIpynbOutput
. Ensure that images are prioritized over text.best
should include everything for ipynb. -
Tests.Old: specify
--data-dir=../data
to ensure tests can find data files even if they haven’t been installed. Remove oldpandoc_datadir
environment variable, which hasn’t done anything for a long time. -
MANUAL.txt: Add recommendation to use
raw_attribute
with ipynb (#5354). -
Use cmark-gfm-hs 0.1.8 (note that 0.1.7 is buggy).
-
Use latest pandoc-citeproc, texmath.
pandoc 2.7 (2019-03-03)
-
Use XDG data directory for user data directory (#3582). Instead of
$HOME/.pandoc
, the default user data directory is now$XDG_DATA_HOME/pandoc
, whereXDG_DATA_HOME
defaults to$HOME/.local/share
but can be overridden by setting the environment variable. If this directory is missing, then$HOME/.pandoc
is searched instead, for backwards compatibility. However, we recommend moving local pandoc data files from$HOME/.pandoc
to$HOME/.local/share/pandoc
. On Windows the default user data directory remains the same. -
Slide show formats behavior change: content under headers less than slide level is no longer ignored, but included in the title slide (for HTML slide shows) or in a slide after the title slide (for beamer). This change makes possible 2D reveal.js slideshows with content in the top slide on each stack (#4317, #5237).
-
Add command line option
--ipynb-output=all|none|best
(#5339). Output cells in ipynb notebooks often contain several different versions of an output, with different MIME types, e.g. an HTML table and a plain-text fallback. Specifying--ipynb-output=best
(the default) ensures that the best version for the output format is used.all
includes all versions, andnone
suppresses them all, leaving output cells empty. -
asciidoctor
is now an output format separate fromasciidoc
, to accommodate some minor implementation-specific differences (currently just in the treatment of display math). -
Add
latexmk
as an option for--pdf-engine
(#3195). Note that you can use--pdf-engine-opt=-outdir=bar
to specify a persistent temp directory. -
Markdown reader:
- Improve tight/loose list handling (#5285). Previously the algorithm allowed list items with a mix of Para and Plain, which is never wanted.
- Add newline when parsing blocks in YAML (#5271). Otherwise last block gets parsed as a Plain rather than a Para. This is a regression in pandoc 2.x. This patch restores pandoc 1.19 behavior.
- Make
yamlToMeta
respect extensions (#5272, Mauro Bieg). This adds aReaderOptions
parameter toyamlToMeta
[API change]. - Fix bug parsing fenced code blocks (#5304). Previously parsing would break if the code block contained a string of backticks of sufficient length followed by something other than end of line.
-
LaTeX reader: don’t let
\egroup
match{
.braced
now actually requires nested braces. Otherwise some legitimate command and environment definitions can break. -
Docx reader (Jesse Rosenthal):
- Rename
getDocumentPath
asgetDocumentXmlPath
. - Use field notation for setting
ReaderEnv
. - Figure out
document.xml
path once at the beginning of parsing, and add it to the environment, so we can avoid repeated lookups. - Dynamically determine main document xml path (#5277).
The desktop Word program places the main document file in
word/document.xml
, but the online word places it inword/document2.xml
. This file path is actually stated in the root_rels/.rels
file, in theRelationship
element with anhttp://../officedocument
type. - Fix paths in archive to prevent Windows failure (#5277). Some paths in archives are absolute (have an opening slash) which, for reasons unknown, produces a failure in the test suite on MS Windows. This fixes that by removing the leading slash if it exists.
- Add comments to aid code readability.
- Trim space inside the last inline (#5273).
- Unwrap sdt elements in footnotes and comments (#5302).
- Rename
-
Muse reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Test that block level markup does not break
<verbatim>
. - Add secondary note support.
- Test that block level markup does not break
-
ipynb reader: handle images referring to attachments. Previously we didn’t strip off the attachment: prefix, so even though the attachment was available in the mediabag, pandoc couldn’t find it.
-
JATS reader:
- Fix parsing of figures (#5321). This ensures that a figure
containing a single image is parsed as a pandoc “implicit
figure” (i.e., a Para with a single Image whose title attribute
begins with
fig:
). More complex figures will still be parsed as divs. - Support
fig-group
block element (#5317). - Handle citations with multiple references (#5310). The
rid
attribute can have a space-separated list of ids.
- Fix parsing of figures (#5321). This ensures that a figure
containing a single image is parsed as a pandoc “implicit

AsciiDoc Writer: Add
writeAsciiDoctor
[API change, Tarik Graba]. Handle display math appropriately for Asciidoctor. -
JATS writer: wrap figure caption in
<p>
to fix validation (#5290, Mauro Bieg). -
HTML writer:
- Implement WAI-ARIA roles for (end)notes, citations, and bibliography (#4213). Note that doc-biblioref is only used when link-citations produces links, since it belongs on links.
- Include content (including speaker notes) in title slides (#4317, #5237).
-
ipynb writer:
- Ensure final newline.
- Only include metadata under
jupyter
field. - Don’t create attachments for images with absolute URIs, including data: URIs (#5303).
- Keep plain text fallbacks in output even if a richer format is
included (#5293). We don’t know what output format will be needed.
See the
--ipynb-output
command line option for a way to control what formats are included in the output.

Markdown writer: use
markdown="1"
when appropriate for Divs: whennative_divs
andmarkdown_in_html_blocks
are disabled butraw_html
andmarkdown_attribute
are enabled. -
LaTeX writer:
- Use right fold for
escapeString
. This is more elegant than the explicit recursive code we were using. - Avoid

with the latex ellipsis package. This patch causes pandoc to avoid emitting the{}
when it is not necessary. Now\ldots
and other control sequences used in escaping will be followed by either a{}
, a space, or nothing, depending on context. - For beamer, include contents under headers superordinate to slidelevel (#4317). Currently we keep the fancy title slide, and add a new slide with the same title and whatever content was under the header.
- Use right fold for

Powerpoint writer (Jesse Rosenthal): support underlines. Use span with single class “underline” as in docx writer.
-
Muse writer: escape secondary notes (Alexander Krotov).
-
FB2 writer: add section identifiers support (#5229, John KetzerX).
-
Make
--fail-if-warnings
work for PDF output (#5343). -
Lua filters (Albert Krewinkel):
- Load module
pandoc
before callinginit.lua
(#5287). The fileinit.lua
in pandoc’s data directory is run as part of pandoc’s Lua initialization process. Previously, thepandoc
module was loaded ininit.lua
, and the structure for marshaling was set up after. This allowed simple patching of element marshaling, but made usinginit.lua
more difficult. Now, all required modules are now loaded before callinginit.lua
. The file can be used entirely for user customization. Patching marshaling functions, while discouraged, is still possible via thedebug
module. - All Lua modules bundled with pandoc, i.e.,
pandoc.List
,pandoc.mediabag
,pandoc.utils
, andtext
are re-exported from thepandoc
module. They are assigned to the fieldsList
,mediabag
,utils
, andtext
, respectively.
- Load module
-
Text.Pandoc.Lua (Albert Krewinkel):
- Split
StackInstances
into smaller Marshaling modules. - Get
CommonState
from Lua global. This allows more control over the common state from within Lua scripts.
- Split

Text.Pandoc.Extensions:
- More carefully groom ipynb default extensions.
- Add

.
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF:
- Use system temp directory when possible (#1192). Previously we
created temp dirs in the working directory, partly (a) because
there were problems using the system temp directory on Windows,
when their pathnames included tildes, and partly (b) because
programs like
epstopdf.pl
would not be allowed to write to directories outside the working directory in restricted mode. We now (a) use the system temp dir except when the path includes tildes, and (b) setTEXMFOUTPUT
when creating the PDF, so that subsidiary programs can use the system temp directory. This addresses problems that occurred when pandoc was used in a synced directory (such as Dropbox). - Change types of subsidiary functions to PandocIO, to allow warnings to be threaded through (#5343).
- Use system temp directory when possible (#1192). Previously we
created temp dirs in the working directory, partly (a) because

Add DokuWiki reader (#1792, Alexander Krotov). This adds Text.Pandoc.Readers.DokuWiki [API change], and adds
dokuwiki
as an input format. -
Implement task lists (#3051, Mauro Bieg). Added
task_lists
extension. Task lists are supported from markdown and gfm input. They should work, to some degree, in all output formats, though in most formats you’ll get a bullet list with a unicode character for the box. In HTML, you get checkboxes and in LaTeX/PDF output, a box is used as the list marker. API changes:- Added constructor
Ext_task_lists
toExtension
. - Added
taskListItemFromAscii
andtaskListItemToAscii
to Text.Pandoc.Shared.
- Added constructor

HTML5 template: Remove unnecessary type=“text/css” on style and link for HTML5 (#5146).
-
LaTeX template (Andrew Dunning, except where noted):
- Prevent fontspec from scaling
mainfont
to match the default font, Latin Modern. A main font set to 12pt could previously appear between 11pt to 13pt depending on its design. To return to the earlier rendering, use-V mainfontoptions="Scale=MatchLowercase"
(#5212, #5218). - Display monospaced fonts without TeX ligatures when using
--pdf-engine=lualatex
. It now matches the behaviour of other engines (#5212, #5218). - Remove the deprecated
romanfont
variable. The functionality ofmainfont
is identical (#5218). - Render
\subtitle
with the standard document classes. Previously,subtitle
only appeared when using the KOMA-Script classes or Beamer (#5213, #5244). - Use Babel instead of Polyglossia for LuaLaTeX. This avoids several language selection problems, notably with retaining French spacing conventions when switching to a verbatim environment or another language; and in printing Greek text without hyphenation (#5193).
- Use the
xurl
package if available, improving the appearance of URLs by allowing them to break at additional points (#5193). - Use
bookmark
if available to correct heading levels in PDF bookmarks: see the KOMA-Script 3.26 release notes (#5193). - Require the
xcolor
package to avoid a possible error when using additional packages alongside footnotes in tables (#5193, closes #4861). - Remove obsolete
fixltx2e
package, which has no functionality with TeX Live 2015 or later (#5193). - Allow multiple
fontfamilies.options
(#5193, closes #5194). - Restrict
institute
variable to Beamer (#5219). - Use
footnotehyper
package if available to make footnotes in tables compatible withhyperref
(#5234). - Number parts and chapters in book classes only if the
numbersections
variable is set, for consistency with other output formats. To return to the previous behaviour, use-V numbersections -V secnumdepth=0
(#5235). - Reindent file (#5193).
- Use built-in parskip handling with KOMA-Script classes (#5143, Enno).
- Set default listings language for lua, assembler (#5227, John
MacFarlane). Otherwise we get an error when trying to compile code
with lua or assembler code. To change the default dialect
(currently 5.3 for lua and x86masm for assembler), you can use
--include-in-header
to inject something like\lstset{defaultdialect=[5.2]Lua}
.

URI (#5163, Alexander Krotov). -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing: Remove unused
HasHeaderMap
(#5175, Alexander Krotov). [API change] -
Normalize Windows paths to account for change in ghc 8.6 (#5127). When pandoc is compiled with ghc 8.6, Windows paths are treated differently, and paths beginning
\\server
no longer work. This commit rewrites such patsh to\\?\UNC\server
which works. The change operates at the level of argument parsing, so it only affects the command line program. -
Simplify/fix reading of
--metadata
values on command line to avoid problems relating to hvr/HsYAML#7 (#5177). -
data/pandoc.lua: auto-fix nested constructor arguments (Albert Krewinkel). Incorrect types to pandoc element constructors are automatically converted to the correct types when possible. This was already done for most constructors, but conversions are now also done for nested types (like lists of lists).
-
Removed custom Setup.hs, use build-type: simple. The only thing we gained from the custom build was automatic installation of the man page when using ‘cabal install’. But custom builds cause problems, e.g., with cross-compilation. Installation of the man page is better handled by packagers. Note to packagers (e.g. Debian): it may be necessary to add a step installing the man page with the next release.
-
Allow latest http-client, tasty, zip-archive, Glob.
-
Require skylighting >= 0.7.5, adding support for sml, J, typescript.
-
Tests: Cleaned up
findPandoc
inTests.Helpers
, so it works well with cabal v2. -
INSTALL.md:
- Use button for installer links (John MacFarlane, Mauro Bieg, #5167).
- Fix links and bump required stack version (max).
- Improve installation notes on associated software (Andrew
Dunning). Includes explanation of how to install related tools
with package managers (since the method of installing
rsvg-convert
is not obvious).
-
doc/org.md: improve documentation of org features (Albert Krewinkel).
-
doc/lua-filters.md: use 3rd level headers for module fields.
-
MANUAL:
- Clarify automatic identifiers (#5201). We remove non-alphanumerics. This includes, e.g., emojis.
- Fix example for Div with id (Geoffrey Ely).
- Update list of LaTeX packages used.
- Make it clear that
hard_line_breaks
works ingfm
(see #5195). - Mention
raw_attribute
in documentation forraw_html
andraw_tex
(#5240, thanks to @eiro). - Clarify that

in templates (#5243, Lev Givon). - Document metadata support for docx, odt, pptx writers (Agustín Martín Barbero).
- Reorganize template variables (#5249, Andrew Dunning). Add additional headings to categorize variables, and alphabetize when there is large number; add more examples.
- Document
date-meta
template variable (#5260, Tristan Stenner).
-
trypandoc: Fix CSS and viewport.
pandoc 2.5 (2018-11-27)
-
Text.Pandoc.App: split into several unexported submodules (Albert Krewinkel): Text.Pandoc.App.FormatHeuristics, Text.Pandoc.App.Opt, Text.Pandoc.App.CommandLineOptions, Text.Pandoc.App.OutputSettings. This is motivated partly by the desire to reduce recompilations when something is modified, since App previously depended on virtually every other module.
-
Text.Pandoc.Extensions
- Semantically,
gfm_auto_identifiers
is now a modifier ofauto_identifiers
; for identifiers to be set,auto_identifiers
must be turned on, and then the type of identifier produced depends ongfm_auto_identifiers
andascii_identifiers
are set. Accordingly,auto_identifiers
is now added togithubMarkdownExtensions
(#5057). - Remove
ascii_identifiers
fromgithubMarkdownExtensions
. GitHub doesn’t seem to strip non-ascii characters any more.
- Semantically,

Text.Pandoc.Lua.Module.Utils (Albert Krewinkel)
- Test AST object equality via Haskell (#5092). Equality of Lua
objects representing pandoc AST elements is tested by unmarshalling
the objects and comparing the result in Haskell.
A new function
equals
which performs this test has been added to thepandoc.utils
module. - Improve stringify. Meta value strings (MetaString) and booleans (MetaBool) are now converted to the literal string and the lowercase boolean name, respectively. Previously, all values of these types were converted to the empty string.
- Test AST object equality via Haskell (#5092). Equality of Lua
objects representing pandoc AST elements is tested by unmarshalling
the objects and comparing the result in Haskell.

Text.Pandoc.Parsing: Remove Functor and Applicative constraints where Monad already exists (Alexander Krotov).
-
Text.Pandoc.Pretty: Don’t render BreakingSpace at end of line or beginning of line (#5050).
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Markdown
- Fix parsing of citations, quotes, and underline emphasis after symbols. Starting with pandoc 2.4, citations, quoted inlines, and underline emphasis were no longer recognized after certain symbols, like parentheses (#5099, #5053).
- In pandoc 2.4, a soft break after an abbreviation would be relocated before it to allow for insertion of a nonbreaking space after the abbreviation. This behavior is here reverted. A soft break after an abbreviation will remain, and no nonbreaking space will be added. Those who care about this issue should take care not to end lines with an abbreviation, or to insert nonbreaking spaces manually.
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.FB2: Do not throw error for unknown elements in
<body>
(Alexander Krotov). Some libraries include custom elements in their FB2 files. -
Text.Pandoc.Readers.HTML
- Allow
tfoot
before body rows (#5079). - Parse
<small>
as a Span with class “small” (#5080). - Allow thead containing a row with
td
rather thanth

- Allow
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX
- Cleaned up handling of dimension arguments. Allow decimal points, preceding space.
- Don’t allow arguments for verbatim, etc.
- Allow space before bracketed options.
- Allow optional arguments after
\\
in tables. - Improve parsing of
\tiny
,\scriptsize
, etc. Parse as raw, but know that these font changing commands take no arguments.
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Muse
- Trim whitespace before parsing grid table cells (Alexander Krotov).
- Add grid tables support (Alexander Krotov).
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared
- For bibliography match Div with id
refs
, not classreferences
. This was a mismatch between pandoc’s docx, epub, latex, and markdown writers and the behavior of pandoc-citeproc, which actually looks for a div with idrefs
rather than one with classreferences
. - Exactly match GitHub’s identifier generating algorithm (#5057).
- Add parameter for
Extensions
touniqueIdent
andinlineListToIdentifier
(#5057). [API change] This allows these functions to be sensitive to the settings ofExt_gfm_auto_identifiers
andExt_ascii_identifiers
, and allows us to useuniqueIdent
in the CommonMark reader, replacing custom code. It also means thatgfm_auto_identifiers
can now be used in all formats.
- For bibliography match Div with id
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.AsciiDoc
- Use
.
+ as list markers to support nested ordered lists (#5087). - Support list number styles (#5089).
- Render Spans using
[#id .class]#contents#
(#5080).
- Use
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.CommonMark
- Respect
--ascii
(#5043, quasicomputational). - Make sure
--ascii
affects quotes, super/subscript.
- Respect
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Docx
- Fix bookmarks to headers with long titles (#5091). Word has a 40 character limit for bookmark names. In addition, bookmarks must begin with a letter. Since pandoc’s auto-generated identifiers may not respect these constraints, some internal links did not work. With this change, pandoc uses a bookmark name based on the SHA1 hash of the identifier when the identifier isn’t a legal bookmark name.
- Add bookmarks to code blocks (Nikolay Yakimov).
- Add bookmarks to images (Nikolay Yakimov).
- Refactor common bookmark creation code into a function (Nikolay Yakimov).
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.EPUB: Handle calibre metadata (#5098). Nodes of the form
<meta name="calibre:series" content="Classics on War and Politics"/>
are now included from an epub XML metadata file. You can also include this information in your YAML metadata, like so:
calibre: series: Classics on War and Policitics
In addition, ibooks-specific metadata can now be included via an XML file. (Previously, it could only be included via YAML metadata, see #2693.)
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.HTML: Use plain
"
instead of"
outside of attributes. -
Text.Pandoc.Writers.ICML: Consolidate adjacent strings, inc. spaces. This avoids splitting up the output unnecessarily into separate elements.
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.LaTeX: Don’t emit
[<+->]
unless beamer output, even ifwriterIncremental
is True (#5072). -
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Muse (Alexander Krotov).
- Output tables as grid tables if they have multi-line cells.
- Indent simple tables only on the top level.
- Output tables with one column as grid tables.
- Add support for
--reference-location
. - Internal improvements.
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.OpenDocument: Fix list indentation (Nils Carlson, #5095). This was a regression in pandoc 2.4.
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.RTF: Fix warnings for skipped raw inlines.
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Texinfo: Add blank line before
@menu
section (#5055). -
Text.Pandoc.XML: in
toHtml5Entities
, prefer shorter entities when there are several choices for a particular character. -
data/abbreviations
- Add additional abbreviations (Andrew Dunning) Many of these borrowed from the Chicago Manual of Style 10.42, ‘Scholarly abbreviations’.
-
Templates
- Asciidoc template: add :lang: to title header is lang is set in metadata (#5088).
-
pandoc.cabal: Add cabal flag
derive_json_via_th
(Albert Krewinkel) Disabling the flag will cause derivation of ToJSON and FromJSON instances via GHC Generics instead of Template Haskell. The flag is enabled by default, as deriving via Generics can be slow (see #4083). -
trypandoc:
- Tweaked drop-down lists.
- Put link to site in footer.
- Preselect output format.
- Update on change of in or out format.
- Add man input format.
-
MANUAL.txt:
- Fix outdated description of latex_macros extension.
- Clarified placement of bibliography.
- Added “A note on security.”
- Fix note on curly brace syntx for locators.
- Document new explicit syntax for citeproc locators.
- Remove confusing cross-links for some extensions.
- Don’t put pandoc in code ticks in heading.
- Document that
--ascii
works for gfm and commonmark too. - Add
man
to--from
options.
-
doc/customizing-pandoc.md: various improvements (Mauro Bieg).
pandoc 2.4 (2018-11-03)
New features
- New input format
man
(Yan Pashkovsky, John MacFarlane).
Behavior changes
-
--ascii
is now implemented in the writers, not in Text.Pandoc.App, via the newwriterPreferAscii
field inWriterOptions
. Now thewrite*
functions for Docbook, HTML, ICML, JATS, LaTeX, Ms, Markdown, and OPML are sensitive towriterPreferAscii
. Previously the to-ascii translation was done in Text.Pandoc.App, and thus not available to those using the writer functions directly. -
--ascii
now works with Markdown output. HTML5 character reference entities are used. -
--ascii
now works with LaTeX output. 100% ASCII output can’t be guaranteed, but the writer will use commands like\"{a}
and\l
whenever possible, to avoid emitting a non-ASCII character. -
For HTML5 output,
--ascii
now uses HTML5 character reference entities rather than numerical entities. -
Improved detection of format based on extension (in Text.Pandoc.App). We now ensure that if someone tries to convert a file for a format that has a pandoc writer but not a reader, it won’t just default to markdown.
-
Add viz. to abbreviations file (#5007, Nick Fleisher).
-
AsciiDoc writer: always use single-line section headers, instead of the old underline style (#5038). Previously the single-line style would be used if
--atx-headers
was specified, but now it is always used. -
RST writer: Use simple tables when possible (#4750).
-
CommonMark (and gfm) writer: Add plain text fallbacks. (#4528, quasicomputational). Previously, the writer would unconditionally emit HTML output for subscripts, superscripts, strikeouts (if the strikeout extension is disabled) and small caps, even with
raw_html
disabled. Now there are plain-text (and, where possible, fancy Unicode) fallbacks for all of these corresponding (mostly) to the Markdown fallbacks, and the HTML output is only used whenraw_html
is enabled. -
Powerpoint writer: support raw openxml (Jesse Rosenthal, #4976). This allows raw openxml blocks and inlines to be used in the pptx writer. Caveats: (1) It’s up to the user to write well-formed openxml. The chances for corruption, especially with such a brittle format as pptx, is high. (2) Because of the tricky way that blocks map onto shapes, if you are using a raw block, it should be the only block on a slide (otherwise other text might end up overlapping it). (3) The pptx ooxml namespace abbreviations are different from the docx ooxml namespaces. Again, it’s up to the user to get it right. Unzipped document and ooxml specification should be consulted.
-
With
--katex
in HTML formats, do not use the autorenderer (#4946). We no longer surround formulas with\(..\)
or\[..\]
. Instead, we tell katex to convert the contents of span elements with class “math”. Since math has already been identified, this avoids wasted time parsing for LaTeX delimiters. Note, however, that this may yield unexpected results if you have span elements with class “math” that don’t contain LaTeX math. Also, use latest version of KaTeX by default (0.9.0). -
The man writer now produces ASCII-only output, using groff escapes, for portability.
-
ODT writer:
- Add title, author and date to metadata; any remaining
metadata fields are added as
meta:user-defined
tags. - Implement table caption numbering (#4949, Nils Carlson).
Captioned tables are numbered and labeled with format “Table 1:
caption”, where “Table” is replaced by a translation, depending
on the value of
lang
in metadata. Uncaptioned tables are not enumerated. - OpenDocument writer: Implement figure numbering in captions (#4944,
Nils Carlson). Figure captions are now numbered 1, 2, 3, …
The format in the caption is “Figure 1: caption” and so on
(where “Figure” is replaced by a translation, depending on the
value of
lang
in the metadata). Captioned figures are numbered consecutively and uncaptioned figures are not enumerated. This is necessary in order for LibreOffice to generate an Illustration Index (Table of Figures) for included figures.
- Add title, author and date to metadata; any remaining
metadata fields are added as
-
RST reader: Pass through fields in unknown directives as div attributes (#4715). Support
class
andname
attributes for all directives. -
Org reader: Add partial support for
#+EXCLUDE_TAGS
option. (#4284, Brian Leung). Headers with the corresponding tags should not appear in the output. -
Log warnings about missing title attributes now include a suggestion about how to fix the problem (#4909).
-
Lua filter changes (Albert Krewinkel):
-
Report traceback when an error occurs. A proper Lua traceback is added if either loading of a file or execution of a filter function fails. This should be of help to authors of Lua filters who need to debug their code.
-
Allow access to pandoc state (#5015). Lua filters and custom writers now have read-only access to most fields of pandoc’s internal state via the global variable
PANDOC_STATE
. -
Push ListAttributes via constructor (Albert Krewinkel). This ensures that ListAttributes, as present in OrderedList elements, have additional accessors (viz.
start
,style
, anddelimiter
). -
Rename ReaderOptions fields, use snake_case. Snake case is used in most variable names, using camelCase for these fields was an oversight. A metatable is added to ensure that the old field names remain functional.
-
Iterate over AST element fields when using
pairs
. This makes it possible to iterate over all ield names of an AST element by using a genericfor
loop with pairs`:for field_name, field_content in pairs(element) do ... end
Raw table fields of AST elements should be considered an implementation detail and might change in the future. Accessing element properties should always happen through the fields listed in the Lua filter docs.
Note that the iterator currently excludes the
t
/tag
field. -
Ensure that MetaList elements behave like Lists. Methods usable on Lists can also be used on MetaList objects.
-
Fix MetaList constructor (Albert Krewinkel). Passing a MetaList object to the constructor
pandoc.MetaList
now returns the passed list as a MetaList. This is consistent with the constructor behavior when passed an (untagged) list.
-
-
Custom writers: Custom writers have access to the global variable
PANDOC_DOCUMENT
(Albert Krewinkel, #4957). The variable contains a userdata wrapper around the full pandoc AST and exposes two fields,meta
andblocks
. The field content is only marshaled on-demand, performance of scripts not accessing the fields remains unaffected.

. Use these whenever possible for uniformity in writers (Mauro Bieg, #4907). (Note that removed functionmetaValueToInlines
was in previous released versions.) - Add
metaValueToString
.
- Add exported functions
-
Text.Pandoc.Lua
-
Expose more useful internals (Albert Krewinkel):
runFilterFile
to run a Lua filter from file;- data type
Global
and its constructors; and setGlobals

Text.Pandoc.Pretty.offset
(Alexander Krotov). -
Text.Pandoc.App
- Work around HXT limitation for –syntax-definition with windows drive (#4836).
- Always preserve tabs for man format. We need it for tables.
- Split command line parsing code into a separate unexported module, Text.Pandoc.App.CommandLineOptions (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Roff: new unexported module for tokenizing roff documents.
-
New unexported module Text.Pandoc.RoffChar, provided character escape tables for roff formats.
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.HTML: Fix
htmlTag
andisInlineTag
to accept processing instructions (#3123, regression since 2.0). -
Text.Pandoc.Readers.JATS: Use
foldl'
instead ofmaximum
to account for empty lists (Alexander Krotov). -
Text.Pandoc.Readers.RST: Don’t allow single-dash separator in headerless table (#4382).
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Org: Parse empty argument array in inline src blocks (Brian Leung).
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Vimwiki:
- Get rid of
F
,runF
andstateMeta'
in favor ofstateMeta
(Alexander Krotov). - Parse
Text

(Alexander Krotov).
- Get rid of
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Creole: Parse
Text
without converting to[Char]
(Alexander Krotov). -
Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX
- Allow space at end of math after
\
(#5010). - Add support for
nolinkurl
command (#4992, Brian Leung). - Simplified type on
doMacros'
. - Tokenize before pulling tokens, rather than after (#4408). This has some performance penalty but is more reliable.
- Make macroDef polymorphic and allow in inline context.
Otherwise we can’t parse something like
\lowercase{\def\x{Foo}}
. I have actually seen tex like this in the wild. - Improved parsing of
\def
,\let
. We now correctly parse:\def\bar{hello} \let\fooi\bar \def\fooii{\bar} \fooi +\fooii \def\bar{goodbye} \fooi +\fooii
- Improve parsing of
\def
argspec. - Skip
\PackageError
commands (see #4408). - Fix bugs omitting raw tex (#4527). The default is
-raw_tex
, so no raw tex should result unless we explicitly say+raw_tex
. Previously some raw commands did make it through. - Moved
isArgTok
to Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX.Parsing. - Moved
babelLangToBCP
,polyglossiaLangToBCP
to new module, Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX.Lang (unexported). - Simplified accent code using unicode-transforms. New dependency on unicode-transforms package for normalization.
- Allow verbatim blocks ending with blank lines (#4624).
- Support
breq
math environments:dmath
,dgroup
,darray
. This collects some of the general-purpose code from the LaTeX reader, with the aim of making the module smaller.
- Allow space at end of math after
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Markdown
- Fix awkward soft break movements before abbreviations (#4635).
- Add updateStrPos in a couple places where needed.
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Docx: Trigger bold/italic with bCs, iCs (#4947). These are variants for “complex scripts” like Arabic and are now treated just like b, i (bold, italic).
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Muse (Alexander Krotov)
- Try to parse lists before trying to parse table. This ensures that tables inside lists are parsed correctly.
- Forbid whitespace after opening and before closing markup elements.
- Parse page breaks.
- Simplify
museToPandocTable
to get rid of partial functions. - Allow footnotes to start with empty line.
- Make sure that the whole text is parsed.
- Allow empty headers. Previously empty headers caused parser to terminate without parsing the rest of the document.
- Allow examples to be indented with tabs.
- Remove indentation from examples indicated by
{{{
and}}}
. - Fix parsing of empty cells.
- Various changes to internals.
- Rewrite some parsers in applicative style.
- Avoid tagsoup dependency.
- Allow table caption to contain
+
.
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.LaTeX
- Add newline if math ends in a comment (#4880). This prevents the closing delimiter from being swalled up in the comment.
- With
--listings
, don’t pass through org-babel attributes (#4889). - With
--biblatex
, use\autocite
when possible (#4960).\autocites{a1}{a2}{a3}
will not collapse the entries. So, if we don’t have prefixes and suffixes, we use instead\autocite{a1,a2,a3}
. - Fix description lists contining highlighted code (#4662).
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Man
- Don’t wrap
.SH
and.SS
lines (#5019). - Avoid unnecessary
.RS
/.RE
pair in definition lists with one paragraph definitions. - Moved common groff functions to Text.Pandoc.Writers.Groff.
- Fix strong/code combination on man (should be
\f[CB]
not\f[BC]
, see #4973).
- Man writer: use
\f[R]
instead of\f[]
to reset font (Alexander Krotov, #4973). - Move
splitSentences
to Text.Pandoc.Shared.
- Don’t wrap
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Docx
-
Add framework for custom properties (#3034). So far, we don’t actually write any custom properties, but we have the infrastructure to add this.
-
Handle tables in table cells (#4953). Although this is not documented in the spec, some versions of Word require a
w:p
element inside every table cell. Thus, we add one when the contents of a cell do not already include one (e.g. when a table cell contains a table).
-
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.AsciiDoc: Prevent illegal nestings. Adjust header levels so that n+1 level headers are only found under n level headers, and the top level is 1.
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.OpenDocument: Improve bullet/numbering alignment (#4385). This change eliminates the large gap we used to have between bullet and text, and also ensures that numbers in numbered lists will be right-aligned.
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.ZimWiki
- Number ordered list items sequentially, rather than always with 1 (#4962).
- Remove extra indentation on lists (#4963).
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.EPUB: Use metadata field
css
instead ofstylesheet
(Mauro Bieg, #4990). -
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Markdown: Ensure blank between raw block and normal content (#4629). Otherwise a raw block can prevent a paragraph from being recognized as such.
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Ms
- Removed old
escapeBar
. We don’t need this now that we use@
for math delim. - Moved common code to Text.Pandoc.Writers.Roff and to Text.Pandoc.RoffChar.
- Move
splitSentences
to Text.Pandoc.Shared (to avoid duplication with the man writer).
- Removed old
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Muse (Alexander Krotov).
+ Add support for grid tables.
+ Fix Muse writer style.
+ Use `length` instead of `realLength` to calculate definition
indentation. Muse parsers don't take character width into
account when calculating indentation.
+ Do not insert newline before lists.
+ Use lightweight markup after `</em>` tag.
-
New unexported module Text.Pandoc.Writers.Roff, providing functions useful for all roff format writers (man, ms).
-
Text.Pandoc.Lua
-
Move globals handling to separate module Text.Pandoc.Lua.Global (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Lua filter internals: push Shared.Element as userdata (Albert Krewinkel). Hierarchical Elements were pushed to Lua as plain tables. This is simple, but has the disadvantage that marshaling is eager: all child elements will be marshaled as part of the object. Using a Lua userdata object instead allows lazy access to fields, causing content marshaling just (but also each time) when a field is accessed. Filters which do not traverse the full element contents tree become faster as a result.
-
Default template changes
-
LaTeX template:
- Add variable
hyperrefoptions
(#4925, Mathias Walter). - Add variable
romanfont
,romanfontoptions
(#4665, OvidiusCicero).
- Add variable
-
AsciiDoc template: use single-line style for title.
-
revealjs template: Fix typo in the socket.io javascript plugin (#5006, Yoan Blanc).
-
Text.Pandoc.Lua.Util: add missing docstring to
defineHowTo
(Albert Krewinkel). -
data/pandoc.lua: add datatype ListAttributes (Albert Krewinkel)
-
data/sample.lua: replace custom pipe function with pandoc.utils.pipe (Albert Krewinkel).
Documentation improvements

INSTALL.md
- Add chromeos install instructions (#4958) (Evan Pratten).
- Add note about TinyTeX.
-
MANUAL.txt
- Change
groff
->roff
. - Implement
--ascii
for Markdown writer. - Clarify LaTeX image dimensions output (Mauro Bieg).
- Change
-
doc/customizing-pandoc.md: added skeleton (Mauro Bieg, #3288).
-
doc/getting-started.md: Added title to test1.md to avoid warning.
-
doc/lua-filters.md: merge type references into main document, fix description of Code.text (Albert Krewinkel).
Build infrastructure improvements
-
Makefile
- Makefile: added quick-cabal, full-cabal targets.
- Make .msi download targets insensitive to order of appveyor builds.
-
Update benchmarks for ghc 8.6.1.
-
pandoc.cabal:
+ Enable more compiler warnings (Albert Krewinkel).
+ Make base lower bound 4.8.
+ Bump upper bound for QuickCheck.
+ Bump upper bound for binary.
+ Updated version bounds for containers and haddock-library (#4974).
+ Added docx/docPropos/custom.xml to cabal data-files.
+ Require skylighting 0.7.4 (#4920).
+ New dependency on unicode-transforms package for normalization.
-
Improved .travis.yml testing and test with GHC 8.6.1 (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Added
tools/changelog-helper.sh
. -
Added test/grofftest.sh for testing the man reader on real man pages.
pandoc 2.3.1 (2018-09-28)
-
RST reader:
- Parse RST inlines containing newlines (#4912, Francesco Occhipinti). This eliminates a regression introduced after pandoc 2.1.1, which caused inline constructions containing newlines not to be recognized.
- Fix bug with internal link targets (#4919). They were gobbling up indented content underneath.
-
Markdown reader: distinguish autolinks in the AST. With this change, autolinks are parsed as Links with the
uri
class. (The same is true for bare links, if theautolink_bare_uris
extension is enabled.) Email autolinks are parsed as Links with theemail
class. This allows the distinction to be represented in the AST. -
Org reader:
- Force inline code blocks to honor export options (Brian Leung).
- Parse empty argument array in inline src blocks (Brian Leung).
-
Muse reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Added additional tests.
- Do not allow code markup to be followed by digit.
- Remove heading level limit.
- Simplify
<literal>
tag parsers - Parse Text instead of String. Benchmark shows 7% improvement.
- Get rid of HTML parser dependency.
- Various code improvements.
-
ConTeXt writer: change
\
to/
in Windows image paths (#4918). We do this in the LaTeX writer, and it avoids problems. Note that/
works as a LaTeX path separator on Windows. -
LaTeX writer:
- Add support for multiprenote and multipostnote arguments
with
--biblatex
(Brian Leung, #4930). The multiprenotes occur before the first prefix of a multicite, and the multipostnotes follow the last suffix. - Fix a use of
last
that might take empty list. If you ran with--biblatex
and have an empty document (metadata but no blocks), pandoc would previously raise an error because of the use oflast
on an empty list.
- Add support for multiprenote and multipostnote arguments
with
-
RTF writer: Fix build failure with ghc-8.6.1 caused by missing MonadFail instance (Jonas Scholl).
-
ODT Writer: Improve table header row style handling (Nils Carlson). This changes the way styles for cells in the header row and normal rows are handled in ODT tables. Previously a new (but identical) style was generated for every table, specifying the style of the cells within the table. After this change there are two style definitions for table cells, one for the cells in the header row, one for all other cells. This doesn’t change the actual styles, but makes post-processing changes to the table styles much simpler as it is no longer necessary to introduce new styles for header rows and there are now only two styles where there was previously one per table.
-
HTML writer:
- Don’t add
uri
class to presumed autolinks. Formerly theuri
class was added to autolinks by the HTML writer, but it had to guess what was an autolink and could not distinguish[http://example.com](http://example.com)
from<http://example.com>
. It also incorrectly recognized[pandoc](pandoc)
as an autolink. Now the HTML writer simply passes through theuri
attribute if it is present, but does not add anything. - Avoid adding extra section nestings for revealjs. Previously revealjs title slides at level (slidelevel - 1) were nested under an extra section element, even when the section contained no additional (vertical) content. That caused problems for some transition effects.
- Omit unknown attributes in EPUB2 output. For example,
epub:type
attributes should not be passed through, or the epub produced will not validate.
- Don’t add
-
JATS writer: remove ‘role’ attribute on ‘bold’ and ‘sc’ elements (#4937). The JATS spec does not allow these.
-
Textile writer: don’t represent
uri
class explicitly for autolinks (#4913). -
Lua filters (Albert Krewinkel):
- Cleanup filter execution code.
- Better error on test failure.
-
HTML, Muse reader tests: reduce time taken by round-trip test.
-
Added cabal.project.
-
MANUAL:
epub:type
is only useful for epub3 (Maura Bieg). -
Use hslua v1.0.0 (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Fix
translations/ru
to use modern Russian orthography (Ivan Trubach). -
Build Windows binary using ghc 8.6.1 and cabal new-build. This fixes issues with segfaults in the 32-bit Windows binaries (#4283).
pandoc 2.3 (2018-09-16)
-
Add
--metadata-file
option (Mauro Bieg, #1960), which allows users to specify metadata in a YAML file, regardless of the input format (#1960). -
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared: export
isDisplayMath
(API change). -
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Markdown: export
yamlToMeta
(API change, Mauro Bieg). -
Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX.Types:
- New type
ArgSpec
(API change). - Second parameter of
Macro
constructor is now[ArgSpec]
instead ofInt
(API change).
- New type
-
Markdown reader:
- Use
tex
instead oflatex
for raw tex-ish content. We can’t always tell if it’s LaTeX, ConTeXt, or plain TeX. Better just to usetex
always. Note that ifcontext
orlatex
specifically is desired, you can still force that in a markdown document by using the raw attribute. Note that this change may affect some filters, if they assume that raw tex parsed by the Markdown reader will be RawBlock (Formatlatex
). In most cases it should be trivial to modify the filters to accepttex
as well. - Refactor and reorganize YAML code (Mauro Bieg).
- Make
example_lists
work for interrupted lists withoutstartnum
(#4908).
- Use
-
HTML reader:
- Parse
<script type="math/tex
tags as math (#4877). These are used by MathJax in some configurations. - Extract spaces inside links instead of trimming them (Alexander Krotov, #4845).
- Added round-trip tests (Alexander Krotov).
- Make parsing sensitive to the
raw_tex
extension (#1126). This now allows raw LaTeX environments,\ref
, and\eqref
to be parsed (which is helpful for translation HTML documents using MathJaX).
- Parse
-
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel):
- Respect export option
p
for planning info. Inclusion of planning info (*DEADLINE*
,*SCHEDULED*
, and*CLOSED*
) can be controlled via thep
export option: setting the option tot
will add all planning information in a Plain block below the respective headline. - Org reader internals: don’t rely on RecordWildCards and ViewPatterns ghc extensions.
- Strip planning info from output. Planning info is parsed, but not included in the output (as is the default with Emacs Org-mode, #4867).
- Respect export option
-
LaTeX reader:
- Handle parameter patterns for
\def
(#4768, #4771). For example:\def\foo#1[#2]{#1 and #2}
. - Allow
%
characters in URLs. This affects\href
and\url
(#4832). - Fixed parsing of
\texorpdfstring
. We were returning the wrong argument as the content. - Support
blockcquote
,foreignblockquote
,foreigncblockquote
,hyphenblockquote
,hyphencblockquote
,enquote*
,foreignquote
,hyphenquote
fromcsquotes
(#4848). Note thatforeignquote
will be parsed as a regular Quoted inline (not using the quotes appropriate to the foreign language). - Support more text-mode accents (#4652). Add support for
\|
,\b
,\G
,\h
,\d
,\f
,\r
,\t
,\U
,\i
,\j
,\newtie
,\textcircled
. Also fall back to combining characters when composed characters are not available. - Resolve
\ref
for figure numbers. - Support
mintinline
(#4365, Marc Schreiber). - Fix siunitx unit commands so they are only recognized in
siunitx contexts (#4842). For example,
\l
outside of an siunitx context should be l-slash, not l (for liter). - Fix double
unnumbered
class (#4838). Theunnumbered
class was being included twice for starred sections.
- Handle parameter patterns for
-
RST reader: Don’t skip link definitions after comments (#4860).
-
Muse reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Close the
</quote>
in indented tag test. There is already a separate test for unclosed</quote>
. - Autonumber sections in the correct order. Parsing now stops at each section header to ensure the header is registered before parsing of the next section starts.
- Move duplicate code into
headingStart
function. - Allow newline after opening
*
or**
. - Don’t allow digits after closing marker in lightweight markup This change makes reader more compatible with Emacs Muse.
- Parse
<verse>
tag in one pass instead of usingparseFromString
. This change makes it possible to have verbatim</verse>
tag inside verse.
- Close the
-
ODT reader: deal gracefully with missing
<office:font-face-decls/>
(#4336). This allows pandoc to parse ODT document produced by KDE’s Calligra. -
Muse writer (Alexander Krotov):
- Output headers without asterisks if not on the top level.
- Never wrap definition list terms.
- Set
envInsideBlock = True
when rendering notes. - Use
""
instead of[]
for empty String. - Check for whitespace in the beginning and end of Str’s.
- Escape
-
,;
and>
in the beginning of strings. - Escape list markers in the beginning of notes.
- Normalize inline list before testing if tags should be used.
- Use tags instead of lightweight markup for empty strings.
- Use lightweight markup when possible.
- Escape empty strings. This guarantees that
conditionalEscapeString
never returns empty string. - Wrap conditionalEscapeString result into
Muse
type. This removes the need to passenvInsideLinkDescription
to it. - Separate
shouldEscapeString
function. - Simplify inline list rendering.
- Replace newlines in strings with spaces.
-
Docx writer:
- Add MetaString case for abstract, subtitle (#4900, Mauro Bieg).
- Properly handle display math in spans (#4826). This isn’t a complete solution, since other nestings of display math may still cause problems, but it should work for what is by far the most common case.
-
HTML writer:
- Always output
<dt>
element, even if it is empty (#4883, Alexander Krotov). - Don’t prefix
epub:
attributes withdata-
.
- Always output
-
Org writer: Don’t escape literal
_

EPUB writer: set
epub:type
on body element in each chapter, depending on theepub:type
of the first section (#4823). This only affects epub3. See http://www.idpf.org/epub/profiles/edu/structure/#h.l0bzsloklt10 -
FB2 writer: put
coverpage
element between title and date rather than indocument-info
element (#4854). -
Markdown writer: Escape

Haddock writer: Use proper format for latex math in haddock (#4571, Joe Hermaszewski). Inline math in
\(..\)
, display math in\[..\]
, tex is now used. Previously we’d “fake it with unicode” and fall back to tex when that didn’t work. But newer haddock versions support latex math. -
TEI writer:
- Ensure that title element is always present, even if empty (#4839).
- Put author tags in the template, rather than adding them in the writer (#4839).
-
LaTeX writer/template: be sensitive to
filecolor
variable (#4822).linkcolor
only affects internal links, andurlcolor
only affects linked URLs. For external links, the option to use isfilecolor

ConTeXt writer: output raw
tex
blocks as well ascontext

RST writer:
- Use
.. raw:: latex
fortex
content. - Use
.. container
for generic Divs, instead of raw HTML. - Render Divs with admonition classes as admonitions (#4833).
Also omit Div with class
admonition-title
. These are generated by the RST reader and should be omitted on round-trip.

CONTRIBUTING.md:
- Link to lua-filters repository (#4874).
- Fix mistake in REPL instructions for stack. (#4849, Brian Leung).
-
lua-filters.md: add links to filters, and to lua-filters repository (#4874).
-
INSTALL.md:
- Indicate that cabal >= 2.0 is needed.
- Added chocolatey installation method (#4844, Miodrag Milić).
-
Travis: exclude round-trip tests, except for nightly test which can fail.
-
Use latest texmath, pandoc-citeproc.
-
Use a patched version of foundation until https://github.com/haskell-foundation/foundation/pull/503 is fixed.
-
Clean up appveyor build and Windows package creation. We now use 64-bit stack and ghc 8.4.3, lts-12 for the 64-bit build. The WiX-based msi is now 64-bit for 64-bit builds (fixing #4795).

pandoc 2.2.3.2 (2018-08-07)
-
Markdown reader: Properly handle boolean values in YAML metadata (#4819). This fixes a regression in 2.2.3, which cause boolean values to be parsed as MetaInlines instead of MetaBool.
We here record another undocumented (but desirable) change in 2.2.3: numerical metadata fields are now parsed as MetaInlines rather than MetaString.
pandoc 2.2.3.1 (2018-08-06)
- Markdown reader: Fix parsing of embedded mappings in YAML metadata (#4817). This fixes a regression in 2.2.3 which caused embedded mappings (e.g. mappings in sequences) not to work in YAML metadata.
pandoc 2.2.3 (2018-08-05)
-
RST reader: improve parsing of inline interpreted text roles (#4811).
- Use a Span with class “title-reference” for the default title-reference role.
- Use
B.text
to split up contents intoSpace
s,SoftBreak
s, andStr
s fortitle-reference
. - Use Code with class “interpreted-text” instead of Span and Str for unknown roles. (The RST writer has also been modified to round-trip this properly.)
- Disallow blank lines in interpreted text.
- Backslash-escape now works in interpreted text.
- Backticks followed by alphanumerics no longer end interpreted text.
- Remove support for nested inlines (Francesco Occhipinti). RST does not allow nested emphasis, links, or other inline constructs. This fixes several bugs (#4581, #4561, #4792).
-
Org reader: fix parsers relying on
parseFromString
(#4784, Albert Krewinkel). Emphasis was not parsed when it followed directly after some block types (e.g., lists). -
Markdown reader: Allow unquoted numbers and booleans as YAML mapping keys. Previously in 2.2.2 you could not do
--- 0: bar ...
but only
--- '0': bar ...
With this change, both forms work.
-
DocBook reader: metadata handling improvements. Now we properly parse title and subtitle elements that are direct children of book and article (as well as children of bookinfo, articleinfo, or info). We also now use the
subtitle
metadata field for subtitles, rather than tacking the subtitle on to the title. -
RST writer:
- Allow images to be directly nested within links (#4810, Francesco Occhipinti).
- Use
titleblock
instead oftitle
variable for title block (#4803, Francesco Occhipinti).titleblock
contains a properly formatted title and subtitle (using top-level headers).title
andsubtitle
variables are still available and just contain the title and subtitle text. Note that this change will require an update to custom rst templates. - Render Code with class “interpreted-text” as interpreted text role.
-
MediaWiki writer: Avoid extra blank line in tables with empty cells (#4794). Note that the old output is semantically identical, but the new output looks better.
-
Lua Utils module: add function
blocks_to_inlines
(#4799, Albert Krewinkel). Exposes a function converting which flattenes a list of blocks into a list of inlines. An example use case would be the conversion of Note elements into other inlines. -
RST template: use
titleblock
instead oftitle
. Users of custom RST templates will want to update this. -
LaTeX template: Moved some beamer code in default.latex template. This change allows beamer themes to change the template and font (as Metropolis does) (#4450).
-
Better error message on

(#1155, Mauro Bieg). -
Added test case for #4669 to repository.

has an effect (see #4527).
pandoc 2.2.2.1 (2018-07-19)
-
Fix regression finding templates in user data directory (#4777). Under version 2.2.1 and prior pandoc found latex templates in the templates directory under the data directory, but this broke in 2.2.2.
-
Fix for bug in parsing
\input
inrawLaTeXBlock
andrawLaTeXInline
(#4781). (This primarily affects the markdown reader, and other readers that accept raw tex.) Starting in 2.2.2, everything after an\input
(or\include
) in a markdown file would be parsed as raw LaTeX. -
MANUAL:
- Clarify
gfm
vsmarkdown_github
(#4783, Mauro Bieg).
- Use
keywords
instead oftags
in YAML metadata example (#4779). Unliketags
,keywords
is used in some of the writers and default templates.
- Clarify
-
Add missing
rollingLinks
option to revealjs template (#4778, Igor Khorlo).
pandoc 2.2.2 (2018-07-16)
-
Use HsYAML instead of yaml for translations and YAML metadata (#4747). yaml wraps a C library; HsYAML is pure Haskell. Advances #4535.
Note: HsYAML implements YAML 1.2, in which the valid true values are
true
,True
,TRUE
. This means a change in the semantics of YAML metadata that could affect users:y
,yes
, andon
no longer count as true values. -
Fix regression: make
--pdf-engine
work with full paths (#4681, Mauro Bieg). -
CommonMark reader: Handle
ascii_identifiers
extension (#4742, Anders Waldenborg). Non-ascii characters were not stripped from identifiers even if theascii_identifiers
extension was enabled (which is is by default for gfm). -
TikiWiki reader: Improve list parsing (#4722, Mauro Bieg). Remove trailing Space from list items. Parse lists that have no space after marker.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Treat
lilypond
as a verbatim environment (#4725). - Parse figure label into Image id (#4700, Mauro Bieg).
- Beamer: Allow “noframenumbering” option (#4696, Raymond Ehlers).
- Allow spaces around
\graphicspath
arguments (#4698). - Handle includes without surrounding blanklines (#4553).
In addition,
\input
can now be used in an inline context, e.g. to provide part of a paragraph, as it can in LaTeX. - In
rawLaTeXBlock
, handle macros that resolve to a\begin
or\end
(#4667). - In
rawLaTeXBlock
, don’t expand macros in macro definitions (#4653). Note that this only affected LaTeX in markdown. - Tighten up reading of beamer overlay specifications (#4669).
Ideally we’d turn these on only when reading beamer, but currently
beamer is not distinguished from latex as an input format.
This commit also activates parsing of overlay specifications
after commands in general (e.g.
\item
), since they can occur in many contexts in beamer. - Parse more siunitx unit commands (#4296, #4773).
- Be more forgiving in key/value option parsing (#4761).
- Treat
-
Markdown reader:
- Allow empty code spans, e.g.
` `
. - Emojis are now wrapped in Spans with class
emoji
and attributedata-emoji
(Anders Waldenborg, #4743). This allows the writer to handle them in a special way (e.g. using a special font, or just rendering the emoji name).
- Allow empty code spans, e.g.
-
Muse reader (Alexander Krotov, except where indicated):
- Get rid of non-exhaustive pattern match warning (Mauro Bieg).
- Add support for floating images.
- Add support for images with specified width.
- Parse image URLs without “guard” and “takeExtension”.
- Split link and image parsing into separate functions.
- Parse links starting with “URL:” explicitly instead of trying to strip “URL:” prefix after parsing.
-
Texinfo writer: Use
@sup
and@sub
instead of custom macros (#4728, Alexander Krotov). -
Markdown writer: Preserve
implicit_figures
with attributes, even ifimplicit_attributes
is not set, by rendering in raw HTML (#4677). -
Markdown and commonmark/github writers now respect the
emoji
extension. So,-f markdown+emoji -t markdown+emoji
now leaves:smile:
as:smile:
rather than converting it to a smile character. -
Docx writer: Be sensitive to
toc
in YAML metadata (#4645). -
ODT/OpenDocument writer: Make internal links work (#4358). This adds proper bookmarks to the headers with non-null IDs.
-
EPUB writer: Properly escape pagetitle. Previously we weren’t escaping
&
and other XML characters in the pagetitle, so a title containing a&
would be invalid. -
AsciiDoc Writer: Eescape square brackets at start of line (#4545, Mauro Bieg).
-
RST writer:
- Don’t treat ‘example’ as a syntax name (#4748). This fixes conversions from org with example blocks.
- Support
--number-sections
via thesection-numbering
directive in standalone output.
-
reveal.js writer and template: reuse mathjax URL provided by the argument to
--mathjax
or the normal pandoc default, rather than a hard-coded one in the template (#4701). -
LaTeX writer:
- Properly handle footnotes in table captions (#4683). Refactored code from figure captions to use in both places.
- In beamer output, fix single digit column percentage (#4690, Mauro Bieg).
-
FB2 writer (Alexander Krotov):
- Convert Plain to Para in annotation (#2424).
- Fix order of items in title-info (#2424).
-
Custom writer: fix error message on script failure (Albert Krewinkel). Error messages produced by Lua were not displayed by Pandoc.
-
Text.Pandoc.Emoji now exports
emojiToInline
, which returns a Span inline containing the emoji character and some attributes with metadata (classemoji
, attributedata-emoji
with emoji name). (API change, Anders Waldenborg, #4743). -
Text.Pandoc.PDF:
- Revert fix for #4484 (only compress images on last run, #4755). This will mean some increase in the time it takes to produce an image-heavy PDF with xelatex, but it will make tables of contents correct, which is more important.
- Fix logic error in
runTeXProgram
. We were running the tex program one more time than requested. This should speed up PDF production.
-
Allow
--template
to take a URL as argument. -
Text.Pandoc.Highlighting: Add missing re-export of
breezeDark
highlighting style (#4687, Adrian Sieber, API change). -
Clarify macOS install in INSTALL.md (#4661). Make the binary package installer the recommended method, and note that on some older versions of macOS, homebrew installs from source and takes a lot of disk space (#4664, Ian).
-
MANUAL:
- Clarify EPUB linked media (#4756, Mauro Bieg)
- Update manual for “true” YAML values. Now that we’re using HsYAML and
YAML 1.2, the valid true values are
true
,True
,TRUE
. NOTE!y
,yes
,on
no longer count as true values. - Document
-F
as alias for--filter
(thanks to Gandalf Saxe). - Update manual on how math is rendered in LaTeX.
- Add proxy description (#4131, Mauro Bieg).
- Clarify that
--toc
requires--standalone
(#4703). - Update citation styles link (#4699, wiefling).
-
In API docs, clarify how
Ext_east_asian_line_breaks
extension works (kaizshang91). Note that it will not take effect when readers/writers are called as libraries (#4674). -
Improved translations/fr (#4766, lux-lth).
-
Removed inadvertently added
.orig
files from repository (#4648). -
Remove
network-uri
flag and use ‘Network.Socket’. This removes a compiler warning. There is no need for the oldnetwork-uri
flag, since network 2.6 was released in 2014. -
Add stack.lts10.yaml, stack.lts11.yaml. use lts-12 in stack.yaml.
-
Bump upper bounds for dependent packages.
-
Exclude foundation 0.0.21 for ghc 7.10. Otherwise cabal gets confused because of the way ghc 7.10 is excluded in foundation’s cabal file. This can be removed when haskell-foundation/foundation#500 is fixed.
-
Require cabal-version >= 2.0. This is needed for haddock-library.
pandoc 2.2.1 (2018-05-10)
-
Restored and undeprecated gladtex for HTML math (#4607).
- Added
GladTeX
constructor toText.Pandoc.Options.HTMLMathMethod
[API change, reverts removal in v2.2] - Restored and undeprecated
--gladtex
option, removed in v2.2.
- Added
-
LaTeX reader: Handle
$
in/text{..}
inside math (#4576). -
Org reader: Fix image filename recognition (Albert Krewinkel). Use a function from the filepath library to check whether a string is a valid file name. The custom validity checker that was used before gave wrong results (e.g. for absolute file paths on Windows, kawabata/ox-pandoc#52).
-
FB2 reader: Replace some errors with warnings (Alexander Krotov).
-
HTML writer:
- Strip links from headers when creating TOC (#4340). Otherwise the TOC entries will not link to the sections.
- Fix regression with tex math environments in HTML + MathJax (#4639).
-
Muse writer (Alexander Krotov): Add support for left-align and right-align classes (#4542).
-
Docx writer: Support underline (#4633).
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing: Lookahead for non-whitespace after
singleQuoteStart
anddoubleQuoteStart
(#4637). -
test-pandoc-utils.lua
: more robust testing on both windows and *nix. Previously the pipe tests were only run if\bin/false
and/bin/sed
were present, which they aren’t in default MacOS and Windows systems. Fixed by usingtr
andfalse
, which should always be in the path on a *nix system, andfind
andecho
for Windows. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared: add
uriPathToPath
. This adjusts the path from a file: URI in a way that is sensitive to Windows/Linux differences. Thus, on Windows,/c:/foo
gets interpreted asc:/foo
, but on Linux,/c:/foo
gets interpreted as/c:/foo
. See #4613. -
Use
uriPathToPath
with file: URIs (#4613). -
Revert piping HTML to pdf-engine (Mauro Bieg, #4413). Use a temp file as before.
-
Text.Pandoc.Class: Catch IO errors when writing media files and issue a warning, rather than an error (Francesco Occhipinti, #4559).
-
Don’t lowercase custom writer filename (Alexander Krotov, #4610).
-
MANUAL (Mauro Bieg):
- Clarify truthiness in template variables (#2281).
- Clarify pipe table width calculation (#4520).
-
ConTeXt template: New Greek fallback typeface (Pablo Rodríguez, #4405). CMU Serif gives better typographic results than the previous Greek fallback DejaVu Serif.
-
Make HTML template polyglot (#4606, OvidiusCicero), by making
<link rel="stylesheet" href="$css$">
self-closing. -
Use texmath 0.11, allowing better translation of non-ASCII characters in math (#4642).
pandoc 2.2 (2018-04-27)
-
New input format:
fb2
(FictionBook2) (Alexander Krotov). -
Make
--ascii
work for all XML formats (ICML, OPML, JATS,…), and forms
andman
. -
Remove deprecated
--latexmathml
,--gladtex
,--mimetex
,--jsmath
,-m
,--asciimathml
options. -
New module Text.Pandoc.Readers.FB2, exporting readFB2 (Alexander Krotov, API change).
-
Markdown reader:
- Allow empty key-value attributes, like
title=""
(#2944). - Handle table w/o following blank line in fenced div (#4560).
- Remove “fallback” for
doubleQuote
parser. Previously the parser tried to be efficient – if no end double quote was found, it would just return the contents. But this could backfire in a case**this should "be bold**
, since the fallback would return the content"be bold**
and the closing boldface delimiter would never be encountered. - Improve computation of the relative width of the last column in a multiline table, so we can round-trip tables without constantly shrinking the last column.
- Allow empty key-value attributes, like
-
EPUB reader:
- Fix images with space in file path (#4344).
-
LaTeX reader:
- Properly resolve section numbers with
\ref
and chapters (#4529). - Parse sloppypar environment (#4517, Marc Schreiber).
- Improve handling of raw LaTeX (for markdown etc.) (#4589, #4594). Previously there were some bugs in how macros were handled.
- Support
\MakeUppercase
,\MakeLowercase
,\uppercase
,\lowercase
, and also\MakeTextUppercase
and\MakeTextLowercase
from textcase (#4959).
- Properly resolve section numbers with
-
Textile reader:
- Fixed tables with no body rows (#4513). Previously these raised an exception.
-
Mediawiki reader:
- Improve table parsing (#4508). This fixes detection of table
attributes and also handles
!
characters in cells.
- Improve table parsing (#4508). This fixes detection of table
attributes and also handles
-
DocBook reader:
- Properly handle title in
section
element (#4526). Previously we just gotsection_title
forsection
(thoughsect1
,sect2
, etc. were handled properly). - Read tex math as output by asciidoctor (#4569, Joe Hermaszewski).
- Properly handle title in
-
Docx reader:
- Combine adjacent CodeBlocks with the same attributes into a single CodeBlock. This prevents a multiline codeblock in Word from being read as different paragraphs.
-
RST reader:
- Allow < 3 spaces indent under directives (#4579).
- Fix anonymous redirects with backticks (#4598).
-
Muse reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Add support for Text::Amuse multiline headings.
- Add
<math>
tag support. - Add support for
<biblio>
and<play>
tags. - Allow links to have empty descriptions.
- Require block
<literal>
tags to be on separate lines. - Allow
-
in anchors. - Allow verse to be indented.
- Allow nested footnotes.
- Internal improvements.
-
Muse writer (Alexander Krotov):
- Escape
>
only at the beginning of a line. - Escape
]
in image title. - Escape
]
brackets in URLs as%5D
. - Only escape brackets when necessary.
- Escape ordered list markers.
- Do not escape list markers unless preceded by space.
- Escape strings starting with space.
- Escape semicolons and markers after line break.
- Escape
;
to avoid accidental comments. - Don’t break headers, line blocks and tables with line breaks.
- Correctly output empty headings.
- Escape horizontal rule only if at the beginning of the line.
- Escape definition list terms starting with list markers.
- Place header IDs before header.
- Improve span writing.
- Do not join Spans in normalization.
- Don’t align ordered list items.
- Remove key-value pairs from attributes before normalization.
- Enable
--wrap=preserve
for all tests by default. - Reduced
<verbatim>
tags in output. - Internal changes.
- Escape
-
RST writer:
- Use more consistent indentation (#4563). Previously we used an odd mix of 3- and 4-space indentation. Now we use 3-space indentation, except for ordered lists, where indentation must depend on the width of the list marker.
- Flatten nested inlines (#4368, Francesco Occhipinti). Nested inlines are not valid RST syntax, so we flatten them following some readability criteria discussed in #4368.
-
EPUB writer:
- Ensure that
pagetitle
is always set, even when structured titles are used. This prevents spurious warnings about empty title elements (#4486).
- Ensure that
-
FB2 writer (Alexander Krotov):
- Output links inline instead of producing notes. Previously all links were turned into footnotes with unclickable URLs inside.
- Allow emphasis and notes in titles.
- Don’t intersperse paragraph with empty lines.
- Convert metadata value
abstract
to book annotation. - Use
<empty-line />
forHorizontalRule
rather thanLineBreak
. FB2 does not have a way to represent line breaks inside paragraphs; previously we used<empty-line />
elements, but these are not allowed inside paragraphs.
-
Powerpoint writer (Jesse Rosenthal):
- Handle Quoted Inlines (#4532).
- Simplify code with
ParseXml
. - Allow fallback options when looking for placeholder type.
- Check reference-doc for all layouts.
- Simplify speaker notes logic.
- Change notes state to a simpler per-slide value.
- Remove
Maybe
fromSpeakerNotes
inSlide
.mempty
means no speaker notes. - Add tests for improved speaker notes.
- Handle speaker notes earlier in the conversion process.
- Keep notes with related blocks (#4477). Some blocks automatically
split slides (imgs, tables,
column
divs). We assume that any speaker notes immediately following these are connected to these elements, and keep them with the related blocks, splitting after them. - Remove
docProps/thumbnail.jpeg
in data dir (Jesse Rosenthal, #4588). It contained a nonfree ICC color calibration profile and is not needed for production of a powerpoint document.
-
Markdown writer:
- Include a blank line at the end of the row in a single-row multiline table, to prevent it from being interpreted as a simple table (#4578).
-
CommonMark writer:
- Correctly ignore LaTeX raw blocks when
raw_tex
is not enabled (#4527, quasicomputational).
- Correctly ignore LaTeX raw blocks when
-
EPUB writer:
- Add
epub:type="footnotes"
to notes section in EPUB3 (#4489).
- Add
-
LaTeX writer:
- In beamer, don’t use format specifier for default ordered lists (#4556). This gives better results for styles that put ordered list markers in boxes or circles.
- Update
\lstinline
delimiters (#4369, Tim Parenti).
-
Ms writer:
- Use
\f[R]
rather than\f[]
to reset font (#4552). - Use
\f[BI]
and\f[CB]
in headers, instead of\f[I]
and\f[C]
, since the header font is automatically bold (#4552). - Use
\f[CB]
rather than\f[BC]
for monospace bold (#4552). - Create pdf anchor for a Div with an identifier (#4515).
- Escape
/
character in anchor ids (#4515). - Improve escaping for anchor ids: we now use uNNN instead of uNNN to avoid ambiguity.
- Use
-
Man writer:
- Don’t escape U+2019 as
'
(#4550).
- Don’t escape U+2019 as
-
Text.Pandoc.Options:
- Removed
JsMath
,LaTeXMathML
, andGladTeX
constructors fromText.Pandoc.Options.HTMLMathMethod
[API change].
- Removed
-
Text.Pandoc.Class:
writeMedia
: unescape URI-escaping in file path. This avoids writing things likefile%20one.png
to the file system.
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing:
- Fix
romanNumeral
parser (#4480). We previously accepted ‘DDC’ as 1100. uri
: don’t treat*
characters at end as part of URI (#4561).
- Fix
-
Text.Pandoc.MIME:
- Use the alias
application/eps
for EPS (#2067). This will ensure that we retain the eps extension after reading the image into a mediabag and writing it again.
- Use the alias
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF:
- Use
withTempDir
inhtml2pdf
. - With
xelatex
, don’t compress images til the last run (#4484). This saves time for image-heavy documents. - Don’t try to convert EPS files (#2067).
pdflatex
converts them itself, and JuicyPixels can’t do it. - For
pdflatex
, use a temp directory in the working directory. Otherwise we can have problems with the EPS conversion pdflatex tries to do, which can’t operate on a file above the working directory without--shell-escape
.
- Use
-
Changes to tests to accommodate changes in pandoc-types. In https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-types/pull/36 we changed the table builder to pad cells. This commit changes tests (and two readers) to accord with this behavior.
-
Set default extensions for
beamer
same aslatex
. -
LaTeX template:
- Add
beameroption
variable (#4359, Étienne Bersac). - Use
pgfpages
package; this is needed for notes on second screen in beamer (Étienne Bersac). - Add
background-image
variable (#4601, John Muccigrosso).
- Add
-
reveal.js template: Add
background-image
variable (#4600, John Muccigrosso). -
ms template: Fix date. Previously
.ND

Removed pragmas for unused extensions (#4506, Anabra).
-
Fix bash completion for
--print-default-data-file
(#4549). Previously this looked in the filesystem, even if pandoc was compiled withembed_data_files
(and sometimes it looked in a nonexistent build directory). Now the bash completion script just includes a hard-coded list of data file names. -

- Clarify template vs metadata variables (#4501, Mauro Bieg).
- Fix raw content example (#4479, Mauro Bieg).
- Specify that you use html for raw output in epub.
- Add examples for raw docx blocks (#4472, Tristan Stenner).
The documentation states that the target format name should match
the output format, which isn’t the case for
docx
/openxml
and some others. - Don’t say that
empty_paragraphs
affects markdown output (#4540). - Consolidate input/output format documentation (#4577, Mauro Bieg).
-
New README template. Take in/out formats from manual.
-
Fix example in lua-filters docs (#4459, HeirOfNorton).

GHC flag when building benchmarks (#4587, Francesco Occhipinti). -
Bump temporary upper bound to 1.4.
-
Use pandoc-citeproc 0.14.3.1.
-
Use texmath-0.10.1.2 (fixes escapes in math in ms, #4597).

Removed old lib directory. This was used for something long ago, but plays no role now.
-
Removed unneeded data file
LaTeXMathML.js

Create 64- and 32-bit versions of Windows binary packages.
pandoc 2.1.3 (2018-03-18)
-
Docx reader (Jesse Rosenthal):
- Add tests for nested smart tags.
- Parse nested smart tags.
- Make unwrapSDT into a general
unwrap
function that can unwrap both nested SDT tags and smartTags. This makes the SmartTags constructor in the Docx type unnecessary, so we remove it (#4446). - Remove unused
docxWarnings
(Alexander Krotov).
-
RST reader: Allow unicode bullet characters (#4454).
-
Haddock reader: Better table handling, using haddock-library’s new table support, if compiled against a version that includes it. Note that tables with col/rowspans will not translate well into Pandoc.
-
Muse reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Various internal improvements.
- Require closing tag to have the same indentation as opening.
- Do not reparse blocks inside unclosed block tag (#4425).
- Parse
<class>
tag (supported by Emacs Muse). - Do not produce empty Str element for unindented verse lines.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Add support to parse unit string of
\SI
command (closes #4296, Marc Schreiber).
- Add support to parse unit string of
-
Haddock writer: In the writer, we now render tables always as grid tables, since Haddock supports these.
-
DokuWiki writer: rewrite backSlashLineBreaks (#4445, Mauro Bieg).
-
Docx writer: Fixed formatting of
DefaultStyle
ordered lists in docx writer. We want decimal for the top level, not lower roman. -
RST writer:
- Strip whitespace at beginning and ending of inline containers (#4327, Francesco Occhipinti).
- Filter out empty inline containers (#4434). There is nothing in
RST that corresponds to e.g.
Emph []
, so we just ignore elements like this (Francesco Occhipinti).
-
Muse writer (Alexander Krotov):
- Support spans with anchors.
- Replace smallcaps with emphasis before normalization.
- Output smallcaps as emphasis.
- Expand Cite before list normalization.
- Write empty inline lists as
<verbatim></verbatim>
. - Remove empty Str from the beginning of inline lists during normalization.
- Escape “-” to avoid creating bullet lists.
- Fix math expansion for more than one expression per paragraph.
- Expand math before inline list normalization.
-
Dokuwiki writer: fix LineBreaks in Tables (#4313, Mauro Bieg).
-
Ms writer:
- Asciify pdf anchors, since unicode anchors don’t work (#4436). Internal links should be converted automatically, so this shouldn’t affect users directly.
- Don’t escape hyphens as
\-
; that’s for a minus sign (#4467).
-
Beamer writer: put hyperlink after
\begin{frame}
and not in the title (#4307). If it’s in the title, then we get a titlebar on slides with theplain
attribute, when the id is non-null. This fixes a regression in 2.0. -
EPUB writer: Remove notes from TOC in nav.xhtml (#4453, Mauro Bieg).
-
JATS writer: Remove extraneous, significant whitespace (#4335, Nokome Bentley).
-
html2pdf: inject base tag with current working directory (#4413, Mauro Bieg). This helps ensure that linked resources are included.
-
Add Semigroup instances for everything for which we defined a Monoid instance previously (API change):
- Text.Pandoc.Class.FileTree.
- Text.Pandoc.Translations.Translations.
- Text.Pandoc.Extensions.Extensions.
- Text.Pandoc.Readers.Odt.StyleReader.Styles.
- Text.Pandoc.Pretty.Doc.
- Text.Pandoc.MediaBag.MediaBag.
-
Add custom Prelude to give clean code for Monoid and Semigroup that works with ghc 7.10-8.4. The custom Prelude (
prelude/Prelude
) is used for ghc versions < 8.4.NoImplicitPrelude
is used in all source files, and Prelude is explicitly imported (this is necessary for ghci to work properly with the custom prelude). -
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared (Francesco Occhipinti):
- Export
stripLeadingTrailingSpace
. - Don’t wrap lines in grid tables when
--wrap=none
(#4320). gridTable
: Don’t wrap lines in tables when--wrap=none
. Instead, expand cells, even if it results in cells that don’t respect relative widths or surpass page column width. This change affects RST, Markdown, and Haddock writers.
- Export
-
Raise error if someone tries to print docx, odt, etc. template (#4441).
-
LaTeX template: Provide
bidi
package’s option using\PassOptionsToPackage
(#4357, Václav Haisman). This avoid a clash whenpolyglossia
loads it first and then it is loaded again for XeLaTeX. -
ConTeXt template: Added
pdfa
variable to generate PDF/A (#4294, Henri Menke). Instructions on how to install the ICC profiles on ConTeXt standalone can be found in the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDFX#ICC_profiles. If the ICC profiles are not available the log will contain error messages. -
Use latest pandoc-types, skylighting
-
Use latest pandoc-citeproc in binary package.
-
Bump upper bound for time, criterion, haddock-library, exceptions, http-types, aeson, haddock-library.
-
Bump upper bound tasty-quickcheck 0.10 (#4429, Felix Yan).
-
pandoc.cabal: fix up other-extensions and language fields. Language is now consistently
Haskell2010
, and other-extensions is consistentlyNoImplicitPrelude
. Everything else to be specified in the module header as needed. -
Removed
old-locale
flag and Text.Pandoc.Compat.Time. This is no longer necessary since we no longer support ghc 7.8. -
Make
weigh-pandoc
into a benchmark program. Removeweigh-pandoc
flag.weigh-pandoc
is now built (and run) automatically when you build (and run) benchmarks. -
MANUAL: add instructions for background images reveal.js (#4325, John Muccigrosso).
-
appveyor: use VS 2013 environment instead of VS 2015 for Windows builds.
pandoc 2.1.2 (2018-03-02)
-
Markdown reader:
- Fix parsing bug with nested fenced divs (#4281). Previously we allowed
“nonindent spaces” before the opening and closing
:::
, but this interfered with list parsing, so now we require the fences to be flush with the margin of the containing block.
- Fix parsing bug with nested fenced divs (#4281). Previously we allowed
“nonindent spaces” before the opening and closing
-
Commonmark reader:
raw_html
is now on by default. It can be disabled explicitly using-f commonmark-raw_html
.
-
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel):
-
Move citation tests to separate module.
-
Allow changing emphasis syntax (#4378). The characters allowed before and after emphasis can be configured via
#+pandoc-emphasis-pre
and#+pandoc-emphasis-post
, respectively. This allows to change which strings are recognized as emphasized text on a per-document or even per-paragraph basis. Example:#+pandoc-emphasis-pre: "-\t ('\"{" #+pandoc-emphasis-post: "-\t\n .,:!?;'\")}["
-
-
LaTeX reader:
- Fixed comments inside citations (#4374).
- Fix regression in package options including underscore (#4424).
- Make
--trace
work. - Fixed parsing of
tabular*
environment (#4279).
-
RST reader:
- Fix regression in parsing of headers with trailing space (#4280).
-
Muse reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Enable
<literal>
tags even if amuse extension is enabled. Amusewiki disables tags for security reasons. If user wants similar behavior in pandoc, RawBlocks and RawInlines can be removed or replaced with filters. - Remove space prefix from
<literal>
tag contents. - Do not consume whitespace while looking for closing end tag.
- Convert alphabetical list markers to decimal in round-trip test. Alphabetical lists are an addition of Text::Amuse. They are not present in Emacs Muse and can be ambiguous when list starts with “i.”, “c.” etc.
- Allow
<quote>
and other tags to be indented. - Allow single colon in definition list term.
- Fix parsing of verse in lists.
- Improved parsing efficiency. Avoid
parseFromString
. Lists are parsed in linear instead of exponential time now. - Replace ParserState with MuseState.
- Prioritize lists with roman numerals over alphabetical lists. This is to make sure “i.” starts a roman numbered list, instead of a list with letter “i” (followed by “j”, “k”, …”).
- Fix directive parsing.
- Parse definition lists with multiple descriptions.
- Parse next list item before parsing more item contents.
- Fixed a bug: headers did not terminate lists.
- Move indentation parsing from
definitionListItem
todefinitionList
. - Paragraph indentation does not indicate nested quote. Muse allows indentation to indicate quotation or alignment, but only on the top level, not within a or list.
- Require that block tags are on separate lines. Text::Amuse already explicitly requires it anyway.
- Fix matching of closing inline tags.
- Various internal changes.
- Fix parsing of nested definition lists.
- Require only one space for nested definition list indentation.
- Do not remove trailing whitespace from
<code>
. - Fix parsing of trailing whitespace. Newline after whitespace now results in softbreak instead of space.
- Enable
-
Docx reader (Jesse Rosenthal, except where noted):
- Handle nested sdt tags (#4415).
- Don’t look up dependant run styles if
+styles
is enabled. - Move pandoc inline styling inside custom-style span.
- Read custom styles (#1843). This will read all paragraph and
character classes as divs and spans, respectively. Dependent styles
will still be resolved, but will be wrapped with appropriate style
tags. It is controlled by the
+styles
extension (-f docx+styles
). This can be used in conjunction with thecustom-style
feature in the docx writer for a pandoc-docx editing workflow. Users can convert from an input docx, reading the custom-styles, and then use that same input docx file as a reference-doc for producing an output docx file. Styles will be maintained across the conversion, even if pandoc doesn’t understand them. - Small change to Fields hyperlink parser. Previously, unquoted string required a space at the end of the line (and consumed it). Now we either take a space (and don’t consume it), or end of input.
- Pick table width from the longest row or header (Francesco Occhipinti, #4360).
-
Muse writer (Alexander Krotov):
- Change verse markup:
>
instead of<verse>
tag. - Remove empty strings during inline normalization.
- Don’t indent nested definition lists.
- Use unicode quotes for quoted text.
- Write image width specified in percent in Text::Amuse mode.
- Don’t wrap displayMath into
<verse>
. - Escape nonbreaking space (
~~
). - Join code with different attributes during normalization.
- Indent lists inside Div.
- Support definitions with multiple descriptions.
- Change verse markup:
-
Powerpoint writer (Jesse Rosenthal):
- Use table styles This will use the default table style in the reference-doc file. As a result they will be easier when using in a template, and match the color scheme.
- Remove empty slides. Because of the way that slides were split, these could be accidentally produced by comments after images. When animations are added, there will be a way to add an empty slide with either incremental lists or pauses.
- Implement syntax highlighting. Note that background colors can’t be implemented in PowerPoint, so highlighting styles that require these will be incomplete.
- New test framework for pptx. We now compare the output of the Powerpoint writer with files that we know to (a) not be corrupt, and (b) to show the desired output behavior (details below).
- Add
notesMaster
topresentation.xml
if necessary. - Ignore links and (end)notes in speaker notes.
- Output speaker notes.
- Read speaker note templates conditionally. If there are speaker notes in the presentation, we read in the notesMasters templates from the reference pptx file.
- Fix deletion track changes (#4303, Jesse Rosenthal).
-
Markdown writer: properly escape @ to avoid capture as citation (#4366).
-
LaTeX writer:
- Put hypertarget inside figure environment (#4388). This works around a problem with the endfloat package and makes pandoc’s output compatible with it.
- Fix image height with percentage (#4389). This previously caused the image to be resized to a percentage of textwidth, rather than textheight.
-
ConTeXt writer (Henri Menke):
- New section syntax and support
--section-divs
(#2609).\section[my-header]{My Header}
->\section[title={My Header},reference={my-header}]
. The ConTeXt writer now supports the--section-divs
option to write sections in the fenced style, with\startsection
and\stopsection
. - xtables: correct wrong usage of caption (Henri Menke).
- New section syntax and support
-
Docx writer:
- Fix image resizing with multiple images (#3930, Andrew Pritchard).
- Use new golden framework (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Make more deterministic to facilitate testing (Jesse Rosenthal).
getUniqueId
now calls to the state to get an incremented digit, instead of calling to P.uniqueHash.- we always start the PRNG in mkNumbering/mkAbstractNum with the same seed (1848), so our randoms should be the same each time.
- Fix ids in comment writing (Jesse Rosenthal). Comments from
--track-changes=all
were producing corrupt docx, because the writer was trying to get id from the(ID,_,_)
field of the attributes, and ignoring the “id” entry in the key-value pairs. We now check both.
-
Ms writer: Added papersize variable.
-
TEI writer:
- Use
height
instead ofdepth
for images (#4331). - Ensure that id prefix is always used.
- Don’t emit
role
attribute; that was a leftover from the Docbook writer. - Use ‘xml:id’, not ‘id’ attribute (#4371).
- Use
-
AsciiDoc writer:
- Do not output implicit heading IDs (#4363, Alexander
Krotov). Convert to
asciidoc-auto_identifiers
for old behaviour.
- Do not output implicit heading IDs (#4363, Alexander
Krotov). Convert to
-
RST writer:
- Remove
blockToRST'
moving its logic intofixBlocks
(Francesco Occhipinti). - Insert comment between lists and quotes (#4248, Francesco Occchipinti).
- Remove
-
RST template: remove definition of ‘math’ role as raw. This used to be needed prior to v 0.8 of docutils, but now math support is built-in.
-
Slides: Use divs to set incremental/non-incremental (#4381, Jesse Rosenthal). The old method (list inside blockquote) still works, but we are encouraging the use of divs with class
incremental
ornonincremental
. -
Text.Pandoc.ImageSize:
- Make image size detection for PDFs more robust (#4322).
- Determine image size for PDFs (#4322).
- EMF Image size support (#4375, Andrew Pritchard).
-
Text.Pandoc.Extensions:
- Add
Ext_styles
(Jesse Rosenthal, API change). This will be used in the docx reader (defaulting to off) to read pargraph and character styles not understood by pandoc (as divs and spans, respectively). - Made
Ext_raw_html
default forcommonmark
format.
- Add
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing:
- Export
manyUntil

,decimal
,lowerAlpha
,upperAlpha
(Alexander Krotov, API change).
- Export
-
Tests/Lua: fix tests on windows (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Lua: register script name in global variable (#4393). The name of the Lua script which is executed is made available in the global Lua variable
PANDOC_SCRIPT_FILE
, both for Lua filters and custom writers. -
Tests: Abstract powerpoint tests out to OOXML tests (Jesse Rosenthal). There is very little pptx-specific in these tests, so we abstract out the basic testing function so it can be used for docx as well. This should allow us to catch some errors in the docx writer that slipped by the roundtrip testing.
-
Lua filters: store constructors in registry (Albert Krewinkel). Lua functions used to construct AST element values are stored in the Lua registry for quicker access. Getting a value from the registry is much faster than getting a global value (partly to idiosyncrasies of hslua); this change results in a considerable performance boost.
-
Documentation:
doc/org.md
Add draft of Org-mode documentation (Albert Krewinkel).doc/lua-filters.md
: document global vars set for filters (Albert Krewinkel).- INSTALL.md: mention Stack version. (#4343, Adam Brandizzi).
- MANUAL: add documentation on custom styles (Jesse Rosenthal).
- MANUAL.txt: Document incremental and nonincremental divs (Jesse Rosenthal). Blockquoted lists are still described, but fenced divs are presented in preference.
- MANUAL.txt: document header and footer variables (newmana).
- MANUAL.txt: self-contained implies standalone (#4304, Daniel Lublin).
- CONTRIBUTING.md: label was renamed. (#4310, Alexander Brandizzi).

Require tagsoup 0.14.3 (#4282), fixing HTML tokenization bug.
-
Use latest texmath.

Allow exceptions 0.9.
-
Require aeson-pretty 0.8.5 (#4394).
-
Bump blaze-markup, blaze-html lower bounds to 0.8, 0.9 (#4334).
-
Update tagsoup to 0.14.6 (Alexander Krotov, #4282).
-
Removed ghc-prof-options. As of cabal 1.24, sensible defaults are used.
-
Update default.nix to current nixpkgs-unstable for hslua-0.9.5 (#4348, jarlg).
pandoc 2.1.1 (2018-01-18)
-
Markdown reader:
- Don’t coalesce adjacent raw LaTeX blocks if they are separated by a blank line. See lierdakil/pandoc-crossref#160.
- Improved
inlinesInBalancedBrackets
(#4272, jgm/pandoc-citeproc#315). The change both improves performance and fixes a regression whereby normal citations inside inline notes and figure captions were not parsed correctly.
-
RST reader:
- Better handling for headers with an anchor (#4240). Instead of creating a Div containing the header, we put the id directly on the header. This way header promotion will work properly.
- Add aligned environment when needed in math (#4254).
rst2latex.py
uses analign*
environment for math in.. math::
blocks, so this math may contain line breaks. If it does, we put the math in analigned
environment to simulaterst2latex.py
’s behavior.
-
HTML reader:
- Fix col width parsing for percentages < 10% (#4262, n3fariox).
-
LaTeX reader:
- Advance source position at end of stream.
- Pass through macro defs in
rawLaTeXBlock
even if thelatex_macros
extension is set (#4246). This reverts to earlier behavior and is probably safer on the whole, since some macros only modify things in included packages, which pandoc’s macro expansion can’t modify. - Fixed pos calculation in tokenizing escaped space.
- Allow macro definitions inside macros (#4253). Previously we went into
an infinite loop with
\newcommand{\noop}[1]{#1} \noop{\newcommand{\foo}[1]{#1}} \foo{hi}
- Fix inconsistent column widths (#4238). This fixes a bug whereby column widths for the body were different from widths for the header in some tables.
-
Docx reader (Jesse Rosenthal):
- Parse hyperlinks in
instrText
tags (#3389, #4266). This was a form of hyperlink found in older versions of word. The changes introduced for this, though, create a framework for parsing further fields in MS Word (see the spec, ECMA-376-1:2016, §17.16.5, for more on these fields). We introduce a new module,Text.Pandoc.Readers.Docx.Fields
which contains a simple parsec parser. At the moment, only simple hyperlink fields are accepted, but that can be extended in the future.
- Parse hyperlinks in
-
Muse reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Parse

- Parse
-
Powerpoint writer (Jesse Rosenthal):
- Change reference to
notesSlide
toendNotesSlide
. - Move image sizing into
picProps
. - Improve table placement.
- Make our own
_rels/.rels
file. - Import reference-doc images properly.
- Move
Presentation.hs
out ofPandocMonad
. - Refactor into separate modules. T.P.W.Powerpoint.Presentation defines the Presentation datatype and goes Pandoc->Presentation; T.P.W.Pandoc.Output goes Presentation->Archive. Text.Pandoc.Writers.Powerpoint a thin wrapper around the two modules.
- Avoid overlapping blocks in column output.
- Position images correctly in two-column layout.
- Make content shape retrieval environment-aware.
- Improve image handling. We now determine image and caption placement by getting the dimensions of the content box in a given layout. This allows for images to be correctly sized and positioned in a different template. Note that images without captions and headers are no longer full-screened. We can’t do this dependably in different layouts, because we don’t know where the header is (it could be to the side of the content, for example).
- Read presentation size from reference file. Our presentation size is now dependent on the reference/template file we use.
- Handle (sub)headers above slidelevel correctly. Above the slidelevel, subheaders will be printed in bold and given a bit of extra space before them. Note that at the moment, no distinction is made between levels of headers above the slide header, though that can be changed.
- Check for required files. Since we now import from reference/dist file by glob, we need to make sure that we’re getting the files we need to make a non-corrupt Powerpoint. This performs that check.
- Improve templating using
--reference-doc
. Templating should work much more reliably now. - Include Notes slide in TOC.
- Set notes slide header to slide-level.
- Add table of contents. This is triggered by the
--toc
flag. Note that in a long slide deck this risks overrunning the text box. The user can address this by setting--toc-depth=1
. - Set notes slide number correctly.
- Clean up adding metadata slide. We want to count the slide numbers correctly if it’s in there.
- Add anchor links. For anchor-type links (
[foo](#bar)
) we produce an anchor link. In powerpoint these are links to slides, so we keep track of a map relating anchors to the slides they occur on. - Make the slide number available to the blocks. For anchors,
block-processing functions need to know what slide number
they’re in. We make the
envCurSlideId
available to blocks. - Move
curSlideId
to environment. - Allow setting
toc-title
in metadata. - Link notes to endnotes slide.
- Change reference to

Lua filters (Albert Krewinkel):
- Make
PANDOC_READER_OPTIONS
available. The options which were used to read the document are made available to Lua filters via thePANDOC_READER_OPTIONS
global. - Add lua module
pandoc.utils.run_json_filter
, which runs a JSON filter on a Pandoc document. - Refactor filter-handling code into
Text.Pandoc.Filter.JSON
,Text.Pandoc.Filter.Lua
, andText.Pandoc.Filter.Path
. - Improve error messages. Provide more context about the task which caused an error.
- Make
-
data/pandoc.lua (Albert Krewinkel):
- Accept singleton inline as a list. Every constructor which accepts a list of inlines now also accepts a single inline element for convenience.
- Accept single block as singleton list. Every constructor which accepts
a list of blocks now also accepts a single block element for
convenience. Furthermore, strings are accepted as shorthand for
{pandoc.Str "text"}
in constructors. - Add attr, listAttributes accessors. Elements with
attributes got an additional
attr
accessor. Attributes were accessible only via theidentifier
,classes
, andattributes
, which was in conflict with the documentation, which indirectly states that such elements have the anattr
property. - Drop
_VERSION
. Having a_VERSION
became superfluous, as this module is closely tied to the pandoc version, which is available viaPANDOC_VERSION
. - Fix access to Attr components. Accessing an Attr value (e.g.,
Attr().classes
) was broken; the more common case of accessing it via an Inline or Block element was unaffected by this.
-
Move
metaValueToInlines
to from Docx writer toText.Pandoc.Writers.Shared
, so it can be used by other writers (Jesse Rosenthal). -
MANUAL.txt:
- Clarify otherlangs in LaTeX (#4072).
- Clarify
latex_macros
extension. - Recommend use of
raw_attribute
extension in header includes (#4253).
-
Allow latest QuickCheck, tasty, criterion.
-
Remove custom prelude and ghc 7.8 support.
-
Reduce compiler noise (exact paths for compiled modules).
pandoc 2.1 (2018-01-07)
-
Allow filters and lua filters to be interspersed (#4196). Previously we ran all lua filters before JSON filters. Now we run filters in the order they are presented on the command line, whether lua or JSON. There are two incompatible API changes: The type of
applyFilters
has changed, andapplyLuaFilters
has been removed.Filter
is also now exported. -
Use latest skylighting and omit the
missingIncludes
check, fixing a major performance regression in earlier releases of the 2.x series (#4226). Behavior change: If you use a custom syntax definition that refers to a syntax you haven’t loaded, pandoc will now complain when it is highlighting the text, rather than doing a check at the start. This change dramatically speeds up invocations of pandoc on short inputs. -
Text.Pandoc.Class: make
FileTree
opaque (don’t exportFileTree
constructor). This forces users to interact with it usinginsertInFileTree
andgetFileInfo
, which normalize file names. -
Markdown reader:
- Rewrite

Muse reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Enable round trip test (#4107).
- Automatically translate
#cover

. Amusewiki uses #cover directive to specify cover image.
-
Docx reader (Jesse Rosenthal):
- Allow for insertion/deletion of paragraphs (#3927).
If the paragraph has a deleted or inserted paragraph break (depending
on the track-changes setting) we hold onto it until the next
paragraph. This takes care of accept and reject. For this we introduce
a new state which holds the ils from the previous para if necessary.
For
--track-changes=all
, we add an empty span with classparagraph-insertion
/paragraph-deletion
at the end of the paragraph prior to the break to be inserted or deleted. - Remove unused anchors (#3679). Docx produces a lot of anchors with nothing pointing to them—we now remove these to produce cleaner output. Note that this has to occur at the end of the process because it has to follow link/anchor rewriting.
- Read multiple children of
w:sdtContents
. - Combine adjacent anchors. There isn’t any reason to have numerous anchors in the same place, since we can’t maintain docx’s non-nesting overlapping. So we reduce to a single anchor.
- Improved tests.
- Allow for insertion/deletion of paragraphs (#3927).
If the paragraph has a deleted or inserted paragraph break (depending
on the track-changes setting) we hold onto it until the next
paragraph. This takes care of accept and reject. For this we introduce

Word 2016 seems to use a default value of “1” for table headers, if there is no firstRow definition (although a default value of 0 is documented), so all tables get the first Row formatted as header. Setting the parameter to 0 if the table has no header row fixes this for Word 2016- Fix custom styles with spaces in the name (#3290).
-
Powerpoint writer (Jesse Rosenthal):
- Ignore Notes div for parity with other slide outputs.
- Set default slidelevel correctly. We had previously defaulted to slideLevel 2. Now we use the correct behavior of defaulting to the highest level header followed by content. We change an expected test result to match this behavior.
- Split blocks correctly for linked images.
- Combine adjacent runs.
- Make inline code inherit code size. Previously (a) the code size wasn’t set when we force size, and (b) the properties was set from the default, instead of inheriting.
- Simplify
replaceNamedChildren
function. - Allow linked images. The following markdown:
[![Image Title](image.jpg)](http://www.example.com)
will now produce a linked image in the resulting PowerPoint file. - Fix error with empty table cell. We require an empty
<a:p>
tag, even if the cell contains no paragraphs—otherwise PowerPoint complains of corruption. - Implement two-column slides. This uses the columns/column div format described in the pandoc manual. At the moment, only two columns (half the screen each) are allowed. Custom widths are not supported.
- Added more tests.

OpenDocument/ODT writers: improved rendering of formulas (#4170, oltolm).

Lua filters (Albert Krewinkel):
data/pandoc.lua
: drop ‘pandoc-api-version’ from Pandoc objects- The current pandoc-types version is made available to Lua programs in
the global
PANDOC_API_VERSION
. It contains the version as a list of numbers. - The pandoc version available as a global
PANDOC_VERSION
(a list of numbers). data/pandoc.lua
: makeAttr
anAstElement
.data/pandoc.lua
: make all types subtypes ofAstElement
.Pandoc
,Meta
, andCitation
were just plain functions and did not set a metatable on the returned value, which made it difficult to amend objects of these types with new behavior. They are now subtypes of AstElement, meaning that all their objects can gain new features when a method is added to the behavior object (e.g.,pandoc.Pandoc.behavior
).data/pandoc.lua
: split type and behavior tables. Clearly distinguish between a type and the behavioral properties of an instance of that type. The behavior of a type (and all its subtypes) can now be amended by adding methods to that typesbehavior
object, without exposing the type objects internals. E.g.:pandoc.Inline.behavior.frob = function () print'42' end local str = pandoc.Str'hello' str.frob() -- outputs '42'
data/pandoc.lua
: fix Element inheritance. Extending all elements of a given type (e.g., all inline elements) was difficult, as the table used to lookup unknown methods would be reset every time a new element of that type was created, preventing recursive property lookup. This is was changed in that all methods and attributes of supertypes are now available to their subtypes.data/pandoc.lua
: fix attribute names of Citation (#4222). The fields were named like the Haskell fields, not like the documented, shorter version. The names are changed to match the documentation and Citations are given a shared metatable to enable simple extensibility.data/pandoc.lua
: drop functionpandoc.global_filter
.- Bump
hslua
version to 0.9.5. This version fixes a bug that made it difficult to handle failures while getting lists or a Map from Lua. A bug in pandoc, which made it necessary to always pass a tag when using MetaList or MetaBlock, is fixed as a result. Using the pandoc module’s constructor functions for these values is now optional (if still recommended). - Stop exporting
pushPandocModule
(API change). The introduction ofrunPandocLua
renders direct use of this function obsolete. - Update generation of module docs for lua filters.
Lua.Module.Utils
: make stringify work onMetaValues
(John MacFarlane). I’m sure this was intended in the first place, but currently onlyMeta
is supported.
-
Improve benchmarks.
- Set the default extensions properly.
- Improve benchmark argument parsing. You can now say
make bench BENCHARGS="markdown latex reader"
and both the markdown and latex readers will be benchmarked.
-
MANUAL.txt simplify and add more structure (Mauro Bieg).
-
Generate README.md from template and MANUAL.txt.
make README.md
will generate the README.md after changes to MANUAL.txt have been made. -
Update copyright notices to include 2018 (Albert Krewinkel).
pandoc 2.0.6 (2017-12-28)
-
Added
jats
as an input format.- Add Text.Pandoc.Readers.JATS, exporting
readJATS
(API change) (Hamish Mackenzie). - Improved citation handling in JATS reader. JATS citations
are now converted to pandoc citations, and JATS ref-lists
are converted into a
references
field in metadata, suitable for use with pandoc-citeproc. Thus a JATS article with embedded bibliographic information can be processed with pandoc and pandoc-citeproc to produce a formatted bibliography.
- Add Text.Pandoc.Readers.JATS, exporting
-
Allow
--list-extensions
to take an optional FORMAT argument. This lists the extensions set by default for the selected FORMAT. The extensions are now alphabetized, and the+
or-
indicating the default setting comes before, rather than after, the extension. -
Markdown reader:
- Preserve original whitespace between blocks.
- Recognize
\placeformula
as context. - Be pickier about table captions. A caption starts with a
:
which can’t be followed by punctuation. Otherwise we can falsely interpret the start of a fenced div, or even a table header line like:--:|:--:
, as a caption. - Always use four space rule for example lists. It would be awkward to indent example list contents to the first non-space character after the label, since example list labels are often long. Thanks to Bernhard Fisseni for the suggestion.
- Improve raw tex parsing. Note that the Markdown reader is also
affected by the
latex_macros
extension changes described below under the LaTeX reader.
-
LaTeX reader:
latex_macros
extension changes (#4179). Don’t pass through macro definitions themselves whenlatex_macros
is set. The macros have already been applied. Iflatex_macros
is enabled, thenrawLaTeXBlock
in Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX will succeed in parsing a macro definition, and will update pandoc’s internal macro map accordingly, but the empty string will be returned.- Export
tokenize
,untokenize
(API change). - Use
applyMacros
inrawLaTeXBlock
,rawLaTeXInline
. - Refactored
inlineCommand
. - Fix bug in tokenizer. Material following
^^
was dropped if it wasn’t a character escape. This only affected invalid LaTeX, so we didn’t see it in the wild, but it appeared in a QuickCheck test failure. - Fix regression in LateX tokenization (#4159). This mainly affects the Markdown reader when parsing raw LaTeX with escaped spaces.
- Add tests of LaTeX tokenizer.
- Support
\foreignlanguage
from babel. - Be more tolerant of
&
character (#4208). This allows us to parse unknown tabular environments as raw LaTeX.
-
Muse reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Parse anchors immediately after headings as IDs.
- Require that note references does not start with 0.
- Parse empty comments correctly.
-
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel):
- Fix asterisks-related parsing error (#4180).
- Support minlevel option for includes (#4154). The level of headers
in included files can be shifted to a higher level by specifying a
minimum header level via the
:minlevel
parameter. E.g.#+include: "tour.org" :minlevel 1
will shift the headers in tour.org such that the topmost headers become level 1 headers. - Break-up org reader test file into multiple modules.
-
OPML reader:
- Enable raw HTML and other extensions by default for notes
(#4164). This fixes a regression in 2.0. Note that extensions can
now be individually disabled, e.g.
-f opml-smart-raw_html
.
- Enable raw HTML and other extensions by default for notes
(#4164). This fixes a regression in 2.0. Note that extensions can
now be individually disabled, e.g.
-
RST reader:
- Allow empty list items (#4193).
- More accurate parsing of references (#4156). Previously we erroneously
included the enclosing backticks in a reference ID (#4156). This
change also disables interpretation of syntax inside references, as
in docutils. So, there is no emphasis in
`my *link*`_
.
-
Docx reader:
- Continue lists after interruption (#4025, Jesse Rosenthal). Docx expects that lists will continue where they left off after an interruption and introduces a new id if a list is starting again. So we keep track of the state of lists and use them to define a “start” attribute, if necessary.
- Add tests for structured document tags unwrapping (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Preprocess Document body to unwrap
w:sdt
elements (Jesse Rosenthal, #4190).
-
Plain writer:
- Don’t linkify table of contents.
-
RST writer:
- Fix anchors for headers (#4188). We were missing an
_
.
- Fix anchors for headers (#4188). We were missing an
-
PowerPoint writer (Jesse Rosenthal):
- Treat lists inside BlockQuotes as lists. We don’t yet produce incremental lists in PowerPoint, but we should at least treat lists inside BlockQuotes as lists, for compatibility with other slide formats.
- Add ability to force size. This replaces the more specific
blockQuote runProp
, which only affected the size of blockquotes. We can use this for notes, etc. - Implement notes. This currently prints all notes on a final slide. Note that at the moment, there is a danger of text overflowing the note slide, since there is no logic for adding further slides.
- Implement basic definition list functionality to PowerPoint writer.
- Don’t look for default template file for Powerpoint (#4181).
- Add pptx to isTextFormat list. This is used to check standalone and not writing to the terminal.
- Obey slide level option (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Introduce tests.
-
Docx writer:
- Ensure that
distArchive
is the one that comes with pandoc (#4182). Previously areference.docx
in~/.pandoc
(or the user data dir) would be used instead, and this could cause problems because a user-modified docx sometimes lacks vital sections that we count on thedistArchive
to supply.
- Ensure that
-
Org writer:
- Do not wrap “-” to avoid accidental bullet lists (Alexander Krotov).
- Don’t allow fn refs to wrap to beginning of line (#4171, with help from Alexander Krotov). Otherwise they can be interpreted as footnote definitions.
-
Muse writer (Alexander Krotov):
- Don’t wrap note references to the next line (#4172).
-
HTML writer:
- Use br elements in line blocks instead of relying on CSS
(#4162). HTML-based templates have had the custom CSS for
div.line-block
removed. Those maintaining custom templates will want to remove this too. We still enclose line blocks in a div with classline-block
.
- Use br elements in line blocks instead of relying on CSS
(#4162). HTML-based templates have had the custom CSS for
-
LaTeX writer:
- Use
\renewcommand
for\textlatin
with babel (#4161). This avoids a clash with a deprecated\textlatin
command defined in Babel. - Allow fragile=singleslide attribute in beamer slides (#4169).
- Use
\endhead
after\toprule
in headerless tables (#4207).
- Use
-
FB2 writer:
- Add cover image specified by
cover-image
meta (Alexander Krotov, #4195).
- Add cover image specified by
-
JATS writer (Hamish Mackenzie):
- Support writing
<fig>
and<table-wrap>
elements with<title>
and<caption>
inside them by using Divs with class set to one offig
,table-wrap
orcaption
(Hamish Mackenzie). The title is included as a Heading so the constraint on where Heading can occur is also relaxed. - Leave out empty alt attributes on links.
- Deduplicate image mime type code.
- Make
<p>
optional in<td>
and<th>
(#4178). - Self closing tags for empty xref (#4187).
- Improve support for code language.
- Support writing
-
Custom writer:
- Use init file to setup Lua interpreter (Albert Krewinkel).
The same init file (
data/init
) that is used to setup the Lua interpreter for Lua filters is also used to setup the interpreter of custom writers.lua. - Define instances for newtype wrapper (Albert Krewinkel). The custom
writer used its own
ToLuaStack
instance definitions, which made it difficult to share code with Lua filters, as this could result in conflicting instances. AStringify
wrapper is introduced to avoid this problem. - Added tests for custom writer.
- Fixed definition lists and tables in
data/sample.lua
.
- Use init file to setup Lua interpreter (Albert Krewinkel).
The same init file (
-
Fixed regression: when target is PDF, writer extensions were being ignored. So, for example,
pandoc -t latex-smart -o file.pdf
did not work properly. -
Lua modules (Albert Krewinkel):
- Add
pandoc.utils
module, to hold utility functions. - Create a Haskell module Text.Pandoc.Lua.Module.Pandoc to
define the
pandoc
lua module. - Make a Haskell module for each Lua module. Move definitions for the
pandoc.mediabag
modules to a separate Haskell module. - Move
sha1
from the mainpandoc
module topandoc.utils
. - Add function
pandoc.utils.hierarchicalize
(convert list of Pandoc blocks into (hierarchical) list of Elements). - Add function
pandoc.utils.normalize_date
(parses a date and converts it (if possible) to “YYYY-MM-DD” format). - Add function
pandoc.utils.to_roman_numeral
(allows conversion of numbers below 4000 into roman numerals). - Add function
pandoc.utils.stringify
(converts any AST element to a string with formatting removed). data/init.lua
: loadpandoc.utils
by default- Turn pipe, read into full Haskell functions. The
pipe
andread
utility functions are converted from hybrid lua/haskell functions into full Haskell functions. This avoids the need for intermediate_pipe
/_read
helper functions, which have dropped. - pandoc.lua: re-add missing MetaMap function. This was a bug introduced in version 2.0.4.
- Add
-
Text.Pandoc.Class: Add
insertInFileTree
[API change]. This gives a pure way to insert an ersatz file into aFileTree
. In addition, we normalize paths both on insertion and on lookup. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared: export
blocksToInlines'
(API change, Maura Bieg). -
Text.Pandoc.MIME: Add opus to MIME type table as audio/ogg (#4198).
-
Text.Pandoc.Extensions: Alphabetical order constructors for
Extension
. This makes them appear in order in--list-extensions
. -
Allow lenient decoding of latex error logs, which are not always properly UTF8-encoded (#4200).
-
Update latex template to work with recent versions of beamer. The old template produced numbered sections with some recent versions of beamer. Thanks to Thomas Hodgson.
-
Updated reference.docx (#4175). Instead of just “Hello, world”, the document now contains exemplars of most of the styles that have an effect on pandoc documents. This makes it easier to see the effect of style changes.
-
Removed
default.theme
data file (#4096). It is no longer needed now that we have--print-highlight-style
. -
Added
stack.lts9.yaml
for building with lts 9 and ghc 8.0.2. We still need this for the alpine static linux build, since we don’t have ghc 8.2.2 for that yet. -
Removed
stack.pkg.yaml
. We only really needstack.yaml
; we can put flag settings for pandoc-citeproc there. -
Makefile: Add ‘trypandoc’ and ‘pandoc-templates’ targets to make releases easier.
-
MANUAL.txt:
- Add note on what formats have
+smart
by default. - Use native syntax for custom-style (#4174, Mauro Bieg).
- Introduce dedicated Extensions section, since some extensions affect formats other than markdown (Mauro Bieg, #4204).
- Clarify default html output for
--section-divs
(Richard Edwards).
- Add note on what formats have
-
filters.md: say that Text.Pandoc.JSON comes form pandoc-types. Closes jgm/pandoc-website#16.
-
epub.md: Delete removed
-S
option from command (#4151, Georger Araújo).
pandoc 2.0.5 (2017-12-12)
-
Fix a bug in 2.0.4, whereby pandoc could not read the theme files generated with
--print-highlight-style
(#4133). Improve JSON serialization of styles. -
Fix CSS issues involving line numbers (#4128). Highlighted code blocks are now enclosed in a div with class
sourceCode
. Highlighting CSS no longer sets a generic color for pre and code; we only set these for classsourceCode
. -
--pdf-engine-opt
: fix bug where option order was reversed (#4137). -
Add PowerPoint (pptx) writer (Jesse Rosenthal). It works following the standard Pandoc conventions for making other sorts of slides. Caveats:
- Syntax highlighting is not yet implemented. (This is difficult because there are no character classes in Powerpoint.)
- Footnotes and Definition lists are not yet implemented. (Notes will usually take the form of a final slide.
- Image placement and auto-resizing has a few glitches.
- Reference powerpoint files don’t work dependably from the command line. This will be implemented, but at the moment users are advised to change themes from within Powerpoint.
-
Create shared Text.Pandoc.Writers.OOXML module (Jesse Rosenthal). This is for functions used by both Powerpoint and Docx writers.
-
Add default pptx data for Powerpoint writer (Jesse Rosenthal).
-
Add
empty_paragraphs
extension.- Deprecate
--strip-empty-paragraphs
option. Instead we now use anempty_paragraphs
extension that can be enabled on the reader or writer. By default, disabled. - Add
Ext_empty_paragraphs
constructor toExtension
. - Revert “Docx reader: don’t strip out empty paragraphs.” This reverts commit d6c58eb836f033a48955796de4d9ffb3b30e297b.
- Implement
empty_paragraphs
extension in docx reader and writer, opendocument writer, html reader and writer. - Add tests for
empty_paragraphs
extension.
- Deprecate
-
Markdown reader:
- Don’t parse native div as table caption (#4119).
- Improved computation of column widths in pipe tables.
Pipe tables with lines longer than the text width (as set
by
--columns
) are now scaled to text width, with the relative widths of columns determined by the ratios between the header lines. Previously we computed column widths using the ratio of header line lengths to column width, so that tables with narrow header lines were extremely thin, which was very rarely the desired result.
-
LaTeX reader: fix
\
before newline (#4134). This should be a space, as long as it’s not followed by a blank line. This has been fixed at the tokenizer level. -
Muse reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Add test for
#disable-tables
directive in Emacs mode. - Don’t allow emphasis to be preceded by letter.
- Add underline support in Emacs Muse mode..
- Support multiline directives in Amusewiki mode
- Add test for
-
Man writer: omit internal links (#4136). That is, just print the link text without the URL.
-
Markdown reader: accept processing instructions as raw HTML (#4125).
-
Lua filters (Albert Krewinkel):
- Use script to initialize the interpreter. The file
init.lua
is used to initialize the Lua interpreter which is used in Lua filters. This gives users the option to require libraries which they want to use in all of their filters, and to extend default modules. - Fix package loading for Lua 5.1. The list of package searchers is
named
package.loaders
in Lua 5.1 and LuaJIT, andpackage.searchers
in Lua 5.2 and later. - Refactor lua module handling. The integration with Lua’s package/module
system is improved: A pandoc-specific package searcher is prepended to
the searchers in
package.searchers
. The modulespandoc
andpandoc.mediabag
can now be loaded viarequire
. - Bump lower bound of hslua. The release hslua 0.9.3 contains a new function which makes using Haskell functions as package loaders much easier.
- Use script to initialize the interpreter. The file
-
reveal.js template: add title-slide identifier to title slide (#4120). This allows it to be styled more easily.
-
LaTeX template: Added support for
pagestyle
variable (#4135, Thomas Hodgson) -
Add
-threaded
to ghc-options for executable (#4130, fixes a build error on linux).
pandoc 2.0.4 (2017-12-03)
-
Add
--print-highlight-style
option. This generates a JSON version of a highlighting style, which can be saved as a.theme
file, modified, and used with--highlight-style
(#4106, #4096). -
Add
--strip-empty-paragraphs
option. This works for any input format. It is primarily intended for use with docx and odt documents where empty paragraphs have been used for inter-paragraph spaces. -
Support
--webtex
forgfm
output. -
Recognize
.muse
file extension. -
Support beamer
\alert
in LaTeX reader. Closes #4091. -
Docx reader: don’t strip out empty paragraphs (#2252). Users who have a conversion pipeline from docx may want to consider adding
--strip-empty-paragraphs
to the command line. -
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel): Allow empty list items (#4090).
-
Muse reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Parse markup in definition list terms.
- Allow definition to end with EOF.
- Make code blocks round trip.
- Drop common space prefix from list items.
- Add partial round trip test.
- Don’t interpret XML entities.
- Remove
nested
. - Parse
~~
as non-breaking space in Emacs mode. - Correctly remove indentation from notes. Exactly one space is required and considered to be part of the marker.
- Allow list items to be empty.
- Add ordered list test.
- Add more multiline definition tests.
- Don’t allow blockquotes within lists.
- Fix reading of multiline definitions.
- Add inline
<literal>
support. - Concatenate inlines of the same type
-
Docx writer: allow empty paragraphs (#2252).
-
CommonMark/gfm writer:
- Use raw html for native divs/spans (#4113). This allows a pandoc markdown native div or span to be rendered in gfm using raw html tags.
- Implement
raw_html
andraw_tex
extensions. Note thatraw_html
is enabled by default forgfm
, whileraw_tex
is disabled by default.
-
Muse writer (Alexander Krotov):
- Test that inline math conversion result is normalized.
Without normalization this test produced
<em>a</em><em>b</em><em>c</em>
. - Improve inline list normalization and move to writer.
- Escape hash symbol.
- Escape
----
to avoid accidental horizontal rules. - Escape only
</code>
inside code tag. - Additional
<verbatim>
is not needed as<code>
is verbatim already.
- Test that inline math conversion result is normalized.
Without normalization this test produced
-
LaTeX writer:
- Allow specifying just width or height for image size.
Previously both needed to be specified (unless the image was
being resized to be smaller than its original size).
If height but not width is specified, we now set width to
textwidth. If width but not height is specified, we now set
height to textheight. Since we have
keepaspectratio
, this yields the desired result. - Escape
~
and_
in code with--listings
(#4111).
- Allow specifying just width or height for image size.
Previously both needed to be specified (unless the image was
being resized to be smaller than its original size).
If height but not width is specified, we now set width to
textwidth. If width but not height is specified, we now set
height to textheight. Since we have
-
HTML writer: export
tagWithAttributes
. This is a helper allowing other writers to create single HTML tags. -
Let papersizes
a0
,a1
,a2
, … be case-insensitive by converting the case as needed in LaTeX and ConTeXt writers. -
Change
fixDisplayMath
fromText.Pandoc.Writers.Shared
so that it no longer produces emptyPara
’s as an artifact. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared.blocksToInlines
: rewrote using builder. This gives us automatic normalization, so we don’t get for example two consecutive Spaces. -
Include default CSS for ‘underline’ class in HTML-based templates.
-
revealjs template: add
tex2jax
configuration for the math plugin. With the next release of reveal.js, this will fix the problem of$
s outside of math contexts being interpreted as math delimiters (#4027). -
pandoc.lua
module for use in lua filters (Albert Krewinkel):-
Add basic lua List module (#4099, #4081). The List module is automatically loaded, but not assigned to a global variable. It can be included in filters by calling
List = require 'List'
. Lists of blocks, lists of inlines, and lists of classes are now givenList
as a metatable, making working with them more convenient. E.g., it is now possible to concatenate lists of inlines using Lua’s concatenation operator..
(requires at least one of the operants to haveList
as a metatable):function Emph (emph) local s = {pandoc.Space(), pandoc.Str 'emphasized'} return pandoc.Span(emph.content .. s) end
The
List
metatable is assigned to the tables which get passed to the constructorsMetaBlocks
,MetaInline
, andMetaList
. This enables the use of the resulting objects as lists. -
Lua/StackInstances
: push Pandoc and Meta via constructor. Pandoc and Meta elements are now pushed by calling the respective constructor functions of the pandoc Lua module. This makes serialization consistent with the way blocks and inlines are pushed to lua and allows to use List methods with theblocks
value. -
Add documentation for pandoc.List in
lua-filters.md
.
-
-
Use latest tagsoup. This fixes a bug in parsing HTML tags with
&
(but not a valid entity) following them (#4094, #4088). -
Use skylighting 0.4.4.1, fixing the color of unmarked code text when
numberLines
is used (#4103). -
Make
normalizeDate
more forgiving (Mauro Bieg, #4101), not requiring a leading 0 on single-digit days. -
Fix
--help
output for--highlight-style
to includeFILE
(Mauro Bieg, #4095). -
Clearer deprecation warning for
--latexmathml, --asciimathml, -m
. Previously we only mentioned--latexmathml
, even if-m
was used. -
Changelog: fix description of lua filters in 2.0 release (Albert Krewinkel). Lua filters were initially run after conventional (JSON) filters. However, this was changed later to make it easier to deal with files in the mediabag. The changelog is updated to describe that feature of the 2.0 release correctly.
-
Change Generic JSON instances to TemplateHaskell (Jasper Van der Jeugt, #4085). This reduces compile time and memory usage significantly.
-
lua-filters.md
: Added tikz filter example. -
Create alternative zip file for macOS binaries.
-
Create alternative zip file for Windows binaries.
-
Update INSTALL.md since we now provide zips for binaries.
-
Relax
http-types
dependency (Justus Sagemüller, #4084). -
Add
epub.md
,getting-started.md
to docs. These used to live in the website repo. -
Add
packages
target to Makefile. -
Bump bounds for binary, http-types, tasty-hunit
pandoc 2.0.3 (2017-11-20)
-
Lua filters: preload text module (Albert Krewinkel, #4077). The
text
module is preloaded in lua. The module contains some UTF-8 aware string functions, implemented in Haskell. The module is loaded on request only, e.g.:text = require 'text' function Str (s) s.text = text.upper(s.text) return s end
-
Allow table-like access to attributes in lua filters (Albert Krewinkel, #4071). Attribute lists are represented as associative lists in Lua. Pure associative lists are awkward to work with. A metatable is attached to attribute lists, allowing to access and use the associative list as if the attributes were stored in as normal key-value pair in table. Note that this changes the way
pairs
works on attribute lists. Instead of producing integer keys and two-element tables, the resulting iterator function now returns the key and value of those pairs. Useipairs
to get the old behavior. Warning: the new iteration mechanism only works if pandoc has been compiled with Lua 5.2 or later (current default: 5.3). -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing.uri: allow
&
and=
as word characters (#4068). This fixes a bug where pandoc would stop parsing a URI with an empty attribute: for example,&a=&b=
wolud stop ata
. (The uri parser tries to guess which punctuation characters are part of the URI and which might be punctuation after it.) -
Introduce
HasSyntaxExtensions
typeclass (Alexander Krotov, #4074).- Added new
HasSyntaxExtensions
typeclass forReaderOptions
andWriterOptions
. - Reimplemented
isEnabled
function fromOptions.hs
to accept bothReaderOptions
andWriterOptions
. - Replaced
enabled
fromCommonMark.hs
with newisEnabled
.
- Added new
-
Add
amuse
extension (Alexander Krotov) to enable Amuse wiki behavior formuse
. NewExt_amuse
constructor forExtension
. Note: this is switched on by default; for Emacs behavior, usemuse-amuse
. -
Muse reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Count only one space as part of list item marker.
- Produce SoftBreaks on newlines. Now wrapping can be preserved
with
--wrap=preserve
. - Add Text::Amuse footnote extensions. Footnote end is indicated by indentation, so footnotes can be placed anywhere in the text, not just at the end of it.
- Accept Emacs Muse definition lists when
-amuse
. Emacs Muse does not require indentation.
-
HTML reader:
- Ensure we don’t produce level 0 headers (#4076), even for chapter sections in epubs. This causes problems because writers aren’t set up to expect these.
- Allow spaces after

MANUAL: clarify that math extensions work with HTML. Clarify that
tex_math_dollars
andtex_math_single_backslash
will work with HTML as well as Markdown. -
Creole reader: Fix performance issue for longer lists (Sascha Wilde, #4067).
-
RST reader: better support for ‘container’ directive (#4066). Create a div, incorporate name attribute and classes.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Support column specs like
*{2}{r}
(#4056). This is equivalent torr
. We now expand it like a macro. - Allow optional args for parbox (#4056).
- Allow optional arguments on
\footnote
(#4062).

EPUB writer: Fixed path for cover image (#4069). It was previously
media/media/imagename
, and should have beenmedia/imagename
. -
Markdown writer: fix bug with doubled footnotes in grid tables (#4061).
-
LaTeX template: include natbib/biblatex after polyglossia (#4073). Otherwise we seem to get an error; biblatex wants polyglossia language to be defined.
-
Added examples to lua filters documentation.
pandoc 2.0.2 (2017-11-12)
-
Deprecated ancient HTML math methods:
--latexmathml
,--gladtex
,--mimetex
,--jsmath
. -
Fixed URIs in
data/jats.csl
. They were being rendered twice, leading to invalid XML in default JATS output with pandoc-citeproc. -
lua-filters.md
: use real-world man page filter as example. -
Add lua filter functions
walk_inline
andwalk_block
in the pandoc module, to apply filters inside particular inline and block elements. -
Refactored some code from
Text.Pandoc.Lua.PandocModule
into new internal moduleText.Pandoc.Lua.Filter
. -
Markdown reader:
- Allow fenced code blocks to be indented 1-3 spaces (#4011). This brings our handling of them into alignment with CommonMark’s.
- Fix YAML metadata with “chomp” (
|-
). Previously if a YAML block under|-
contained a blank line, pandoc would not parse it as metadata.
-
Removed
etc.
from abbreviations file. Oftenetc.
ends a sentence, and we want the period to be treated as a sentence-ending period. -
Fix regression with
--metadata
(#4054). Values specified with--metadata
should replace a metadata value set in the document itself, rather than creating a list including a new value. -
EPUB writer:
- Fix EPUB OCF structure. #3720 had been improperly implemented.
- Fix modified paths for raw HTML tags (src, poster, etc.) (#4050, #4055). This had not been updated for the new EPUB container layout, with a separate text/ subdirectory.
- Fix image paths with empty
--epub-subdirectory
.
-
Miscellaneous code cleanup (Alexander Krotov).
-
Use pandoc-types 1.17.3, which adds
Walkable
instances for[Block] Block
and[Inline] Inline
. -
Remove obsolete
stack.full.yaml
(#4052). -
Change to using pandoc-citeproc 0.12.1 in binary packages.

pandoc 2.0.1.1 (2017-11-04)
-
Improved fix to #3989 (parsing of HTML tags containing
>
in an attribute or comment). The previous fix (in 2.0.1) only worked in certain cases. -
FB2 writer (Alexander Krotov):
- Add
unrecognised

CommonMark writer: fix strikethrough for
gfm
(#4038). -
Use texmath 0.10, which adds support for a wider range of symbols and fixes default column alignments in MathML and OMML.
-
Highlighting fixes, using skylighting 0.4.3.2:
- Fix invalid CSS.
- Support
lineAnchors
(orline-anchors
) in HTML code blocks. - Ensure that code lines don’t get duplicate identifiers (#4031).
The line identifiers are built using the code block’s identifier
as a prefix. If the code block has null identifier, we use
cb1
,cb2
, etc.
-
Added a few abbreviations to
data/abbreviations
, and sorted the list (#3984, Wandmalfarbe). -
Improved support for columns in HTML writer (#4028).
- Remove
width
attribute from thediv
. - Remove space between
<div class="column">
elements, since this prevents columns whose widths sum to 100% (the space takes up space). - Move as much as possible of the CSS to the template.
- Ensure that all the HTML-based templates (including epub) contain the CSS for columns.
- Columns default to 50% width unless they are given a width
attribute. So if you want two equal-width columns, you
can use a div with class
column
and nowidth
attribute.
- Remove
-
SelfContained: use
base64
for css links with media attribute (#4026). This fixes--self-contained
with S5. -
Improve
pandoc-template-mode.el
(Vaclav Haisman). -
INSTALL.md: MacOS instructions needed xar -f (adam234).
-
MANUAL.txt:
- Clarify that –setext-headers doesn’t affect gfm output (#4035).
- Clarify what is needed to open and close a div in
fenced_divs
(#4039, Tristano Ajmone). - Removed reference to
default.beamer
in docs (#4024). Also added mention of other templates affecting PDF output with different settings.
pandoc 2.0.1 (2017-10-31)
-
Fixed regression in parsing of HTML comments in markdown and other non-HTML formats (
Text.Pandoc.Readers.HTML.htmlTag
) (#4019). The parser stopped at the first>
character, even if it wasn’t the end of the comment. -
Creole reader (Sascha Wilde):
- Fix some minor typos and formatting.
- Add additional test on nowiki-block after para.
- Fix lists with trailing white space.
-
LaTeX reader: handle
%
comment right after command. For example,\emph%
. -
Markdown reader: make sure fenced div closers work in lists. Previously the following failed:
::: {.class} 1. one 2. two :::
and you needed a blank line before the closing
:::
. -
Make
fenced_divs
affect the Markdown writer. Iffenced_divs
is enabled, Divs will be rendered as fenced divs. -
LaTeX/Beamer writer: support “blocks” inside columns and other Divs (#4016).
-
HTML Writer: consistently use dashed class-names (Mauro Bieg, #3556). Note: this change may require some changes in CSS rules.
footnoteRef
has becomefootnote-ref
,titleslide
has becometitle-slide
, andfootnoteBack
has becomefootnote-back
. -
JATS writer: Properly pass through author metadata (#4020).
-
FB2 writer (Alexander Krotov):
- Write blocks outside of
<p>
in definitions. - Make bullet lists consistent with ordered lists, repeating the marker for the outer list rather than indenting sublists, since indentation does not work in readers.
- Add new style FB2 tests.
- Write blocks outside of
-
Text.Pandoc.ImageSize
: AddMillimeter
constructor toDimension
(#4012) [API change]. Now sizes given in ‘mm’ are no longer converted to ‘cm’. -
Revise documentation of small caps syntax (Andrew Dunning, #4013).
-
Fix broken reference links in manual (Andrew Dunning, #4014)
-
Fixed example of slide columns structure in changelog (#4015). Also documented this feature in MANUAL.txt.
pandoc 2.0.0.1 (2017-10-30)
-
EPUB writer:
- Fixed filepaths for nonstandard epub-subdirectory values.
- Ensure that epub2 is recognized as a non-text format, so that a template is used.
- Don’t include “prefix” attribute for ibooks for epub2. It doesn’t validate.
- Fix stylesheet paths; previously we had an incorrect stylesheet path for the cover page and nav page.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Insert space when needed in macro expansion (#4007). Sometimes we need to insert a space after a control sequence to prevent it merging with a following letter.
- Allow unbraced arguments for macros (#4007).
- Allow body of macro definition to be unbraced (#4007).
-
Linux package build: ensure that pandoc-citeproc is statically linked.
-
trypandoc: add native, ms.
pandoc 2.0 (2017-10-29)
New features
-
New output format
ms
(groff ms). Complete support, including tables, math, syntax highlighting, and PDF bookmarks. The writer uses texmath’s new eqn writer to convert math to eqn format, so a ms file produced with this writer should be processed withgroff -ms -e
if it contains math. -
New output format
jats
(Journal Article Tag Suite). This is an XML format used in archiving and publishing articles. Note that a URI-encoded CSL stylesheet (data/jats.csl
) is added automatically unless a stylesheet is specified using--css
. -
New output format
gfm
(GitHub-flavored CommonMark) (#3841). This uses bindings to GitHub’s fork of cmark, so it should parse gfm exactly as GitHub does (excepting certain postprocessing steps, involving notifications, emojis, etc.).markdown_github
has been deprecated in favor ofgfm
. -
New output format
muse
(Emacs Muse) (Alexander Krotov, #3489). -
New input format
gfm
(GitHub-flavored CommonMark) (#3841). This uses bindings to GitHub’s fork of cmark.markdown_github
has been deprecated in favor ofgfm
. -
New input format
muse
(Emacs Muse) reader (Alexander Krotov, #3620). -
New input format
tikiwiki
(TikiWiki markup) (rlpowell, #3800). -
New input format
vimwiki
(Vimwiki markup) (Yuchen Pei, #3705). Note that there is a new data file,data/vimwiki.css
, which can be used to display the HTML produced by this reader and pandoc’s HTML writer in the style of vimwiki’s own HTML export. -
New input format
creole
(Creole 1.0) (#3994, Sascha Wilde). -
New syntax for Divs, with
fenced_divs
extension enabled by default (#168). This gives an attractive, plain-text way to create containers for block-level content. -
Added new syntax for including raw content in any output format, enabled by the
raw_attribute
extension (which is on by default formarkdown
andmultimarkdown
). The syntax is the same as for fenced code blocks or code inlines, only with{=FORMAT}
for attributes, whereFORMAT
is the name of the output format (e.g.,ms
,html
). -
Implement multicolumn support for slide formats (#1710). The structure expected is:
:::::::::::::: {.columns} ::: {.column width="40%"} contents... ::: ::: {.column width="60%"} contents... ::: ::::::::::::::
Support has been added for beamer and all HTML slide formats.
-
Allows line comments in templates, beginning with
$--
(#3806). (Requires doctemplates 0.2.1.) -
Add
--eol=crlf|lf|native
flag and writer option to control line endings (Stefan Dresselhaus, #3663, #2097). -
Add
--log
option to save log messages in JSON format to a file (#3392). -
Add
--request-header
option, to set request headers when pandoc makes HTTP requests to fetch external resources. For example:--request-header User-Agent:blah
. -
Added lua filters (Albert Krewinkel, #3514). The new
--lua-filter
option works like--filter
but takes pathnames of special lua filters and uses the lua interpreter baked into pandoc, so that no external interpreter is needed. Note that lua filters are all applied after regular filters, regardless of their position on the command line. For documentation of lua filters, seedoc/lua-filters.md
. -
Set
PANDOC_READER_OPTIONS
in environment where filters are run. This contains a JSON representation ofReaderOptions
, so filters can access it. -
Support creation of pdf via groff
ms
and pdfroff.pandoc -t ms -o output.pdf input.txt
. -
Support for PDF generation via HTML and
weasyprint
orprince
(Mauro Bieg, #3909).pandoc -t html5 -o output.pdf --pdf-engine=prince
. -
Added
--epub-subdirectory
option (#3720). This specifies the subdirectory in the OCF container that holds the EPUB specific content. We now put all EPUB related content in anEPUB/
subdirectory by default (later this will be configurable).mimetype META-INF/ com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml container.xml EPUB/ <<--configurable-->> fonts/ <<--static-->> font.otf media/ <<--static-->> cover.jpg fig1.jpg styles/ <<--static-->> stylesheet.css content.opf toc.ncx text/ <<--static-->> ch001.xhtml
-
Added
--resource-path=SEARCHPATH
command line option (#852). SEARCHPATH is separated by the usual character, depending on OS (: on unix, ; on windows). Default resource path is just working directory. However, the working directory must be explicitly specified if the--resource-path
option is used. -
Added –abbreviations=FILE option for custom abbreviations file (#256). Dfault abbreviations file (
data/abbreviations
) contains a list of strings that will be recognized by pandoc’s Markdown parser as abbreviations. (A nonbreaking space will be inserted after the period, preventing a sentence space in formats like LaTeX.) Users can override the default by putting a file abbreviations in their user data directory (~/.pandoc
on *nix). -
Allow a theme file as argument to
--highlight-style
. Also include a sample,default.theme
, indata/
. -
Allow
--syntax-definition
option for dynamic loading of syntax highlighting definitions (#3334). -
Lists in
markdown
by default now use the CommonMark variable nesting rules (#3511). The indentation required for a block-level item to be included in a list item is no longer fixed, but is determined by the first line of the list item. To be included in the list item, a block must be indented to the level of the first non-space content after the list marker. Exception: if are 5 or more spaces after the list marker, then the content is interpreted as an indented code block, and continuation paragraphs must be indented two spaces beyond the end of the list marker. See the CommonMark spec for more details and examples.Documents that adhere to the four-space rule should, in most cases, be parsed the same way by the new rules. Here are some examples of texts that will be parsed differently:
- a - b
will be parsed as a list item with a sublist; under the four-space rule, it would be a list with two items.
- a code
Here we have an indented code block under the list item, even though it is only indented six spaces from the margin, because it is four spaces past the point where a continuation paragraph could begin. With the four-space rule, this would be a regular paragraph rather than a code block.
- a code
Here the code block will start with two spaces, whereas under the four-space rule, it would start with
code
. With the four-space rule, indented code under a list item always must be indented eight spaces from the margin, while the new rules require only that it be indented four spaces from the beginning of the first non-space text after the list marker (here,a
).This change was motivated by a slew of bug reports from people who expected lists to work differently (#3125, #2367, #2575, #2210, #1990, #1137, #744, #172, #137, #128) and by the growing prevalance of CommonMark (now used by GitHub, for example). Those who prefer the old behavior can use
-f markdown+four_space_rule
. -
Added
four_space_rule
extension. This triggers the old pandoc parsing rule for content nested under list items (the “four space rule”). -
Added
spaced_reference_links
extension (#2602). It allows whitespace between the two parts of a reference link: e.g.[a] [b] [b]: url
This was previously enabled by default; now it is forbidden by default.
-
Add
space_in_atx_header
extension (#3512). This is enabled by default in pandoc and GitHub markdown but not the other flavors. This requirse a space between the opening #’s and the header text in ATX headers (as CommonMark does but many other implementations do not). This is desirable to avoid falsely capturing things ilke#hashtag
or
#5
-
Add
sourcefile
andoutputfile
template variables (Roland Hieber, #3431). -
Allow ibooks-specific metadata in epubs (#2693). You can now have the following fields in your YAML metadata, and it will be treated appropriately in the generated EPUB:
ibooks: version: 1.3.4 specified-fonts: false ipad-orientation-lock: portrait-only iphone-orientation-lock: landscape-only binding: true scroll-axis: vertical
Behavior changes
-
Reader functions no longer presuppose that CRs have been stripped from the input. (They strip CRs themselves, before parsing, to simplify the parsers.)
-
Added support for translations (localization) (#3559). Currently this only affects the LaTeX reader, for things like
\figurename
. Translation data files for 46 languages can be found indata/translations
. -
Make
--ascii
work with DocBook output too. -
Rename
--latex-engine
to--pdf-engine
, and--latex-engine-opt
to--pdf-engine-opt
. -
Removed
--parse-raw
andreaderParseRaw
. These were confusing. Now we rely on the+raw_tex
or+raw_html
extension with latex or html input. Thus, instead of--parse-raw -f latex
we use-f latex+raw_tex
, and instead of--parse-raw -f html
we use-f html+raw_html
. -
With
--filter
R filters are now recognized, even if they are not executable (#3940, #3941, Andrie de Vries). -
Support SVG in PDF output, converting with
rsvg2pdf
(#1793). -
Make epub an alias for epub3, not epub2.
-
Removed
--epub-stylesheet
; use--css
instead (#3472, #847). Multiple stylesheets may be used. Stylesheets will be taken both from--css
and from thestylesheet
metadata field (which can contain either a file path or a list of them). -
--mathml
and MathML in HTMLMathMethod no longer take an argument. The argument was for a bridge JavaScript that used to be necessary in 2004. We have removed the script already. -
--katex
improvements. The latest version is used, and the autoload script is loaded by default. -
Change MathJax CDN default since old one is shutting down (#3544). Note: The new URL requires a version number, which we’ll have to update manually in subsequent pandoc releases in order to take advantage of mathjax improvements.
-
--self-contained
: don’t incorporate elements withdata-external="1"
(#2656). You can leave an external link as it is by adding the attribute data-external=“1” to the element. Pandoc will then not try to incorporate its content when--self-contained
is used. This is similar to a feature already supported by the EPUB writer. -
Allow
--extract-media
to work with non-binary input formats (#1583, #2289). If--extract-media
is supplied with a non-binary input format, pandoc will attempt to extract the contents of all linked images, whether in local files, data: uris, or external uris. They will be named based on the sha1 hash of the contents. -
Make
papersize: a4
work regardless of the case ofa4
. It is converted toa4
in LaTeX andA4
in ConTeXt. -
Make
east_asian_line_breaks
affect all readers/writers (#3703). -
Underlined elements are now treated consistently by readers (#2270, hftf); they are always put in a Span with class
underline
. This allows the user to treat them differently from other emphasis, using a filter. Docx, Org, Textile, Txt2Tags, and HTML readers have been changed. -
Improved behavior of
auto_identifiers
when there are explicit ids (#1745). Previously only autogenerated ids were added to the list of header identifiers in state, so explicit ids weren’t taken into account when generating unique identifiers. Duplicated identifiers could result. This simple fix ensures that explicitly given identifiers are also taken into account. -
Use
table-of-contents
for contents of toc, maketoc
a boolean (#2872). Changed markdown, rtf, and HTML-based templates accordingly. This allows you to settoc: true
in the metadata; this previously produced strange results in some output formats. For backwards compatibility,toc
is still set to the toc contents. But it is recommended that you update templates to usetable-of-contents
for the toc contents andtoc
for a boolean flag. -
Change behavior with binary format output to stdout. Previously, for binary formats, output to stdout was disabled unless we could detect that the output was being piped (and not sent to the terminal). Unfortunately, such detection is not possible on Windows, leaving windows users no way to pipe binary output. So we have changed the behavior in the following way:
- Output to stdout is allowed when it can be determined that the output is being piped (on non-Windows platforms).
- If the
-o
option is not used, binary output is never sent to stdout by default; instead, an error is raised. - If
-o -
is used, binary output is sent to stdout, regardless of whether it is being piped. This works on Windows too.
-
Better error behavior: uses of
error
have been replaced by raising ofPandocError
, which can be trapped and handled by the calling program. -
Removed
hard_line_breaks
extension frommarkdown_github
(#3594). GitHub has two Markdown modes, one for long-form documents like READMEs and one for short things like issue comments. In issue comments, a line break is treated as a hard line break. In README, wikis, etc., it is treated as a space as in regular Markdown. Since pandoc is more likely to be used to convert long-form documents from GitHub Markdown,-hard_line_breaks
is a better default. -
Include
backtick_code_blocks
extension inmardkown_mmd
(#3637). -
Escape
MetaString
values (as added with-M/--metadata
flag) (#3792). Previously they would be transmitted to the template without any escaping. Note that--M title='*foo*'
yields a different result from--- title: *foo* ---
In the latter case, we have emphasis; in the former case, just a string with literal asterisks (which will be escaped in formats, like Markdown, that require it).
-
Allow
em
,cm
,in
for image height/width in HTML, LaTeX (#3450). -
HTML writer: Insert
data-
in front of unsupported attributes. Thus, a span with attributefoo
gets written to HTML5 withdata-foo
, so it is valid HTML5. HTML4 is not affected. This will allow us to use custom attributes in pandoc without producing invalid HTML. (With help from Wandmalfarbe, #3817.) -
Plain writer: improved super/subscript rendering. We now handle more non-digit characters for which there are sub/superscripted unicode characters. When unicode sub/superscripted characters are not available, we use
_(..)
or^(..)
(#3518). -
Docbook, JATS, TEI writers: print INFO message when omitting interior header (#3750). This only applies to section headers inside list items, e.g., which were otherwise silently omitted.
-
Change to
--reference-links
in Markdown writer (#3701). With--reference-location
ofsection
orblock
, pandoc will now repeat references that have been used in earlier sections. The Markdown reader has also been modified, so that exactly repeated references do not generate a warning, only references with the same label but different targets. The idea is that, with references after every block, one might want to repeat references sometimes. -
ODT/OpenDocument writer:
- Support
lang
attribute (#1667). - Added support for
--toc
(#2836). Thanks to @anayrat.
- Support
-
Docx writer:
-
lang
meta, see #1667 (Mauro Bieg, #3515). -
Change
FigureWithCaption
toCaptionedFigure
(iandol, #3658). -
Use
Table
rather thanTable Normal
for table style (#3275).Table Normal
is the default table style and can’t be modified. -
Pass through comments (#2994). We assume that comments are defined as parsed by the docx reader:
I want I left a comment.some text to have a comment on it.
We assume also that the id attributes are unique and properly matched between comment-start and comment-end.
-
Bookmark improvements. Bookmark start/end now surrounds content rather than preceding it. Bookmarks generated for Div with id (jgm/pandoc-citeproc#205).
-
Add
keywords
metadata to docx document properties (Ian).
-
-
RST writer: support unknown interpreted text roles by parsing them as
Span
withrole
attributes (#3407). This way they can be manipulated in the AST. -
HTML writer:
- Line block: Use class instead of style attribute (#1623). We now
issue
<div class="line-block">
and include a default definition forline-block
in the default templates, instead of hard-coding astyle
on the div. - Add class
footnoteBack
to footnote back references (Timm Albers). This allows for easier CSS styling. - Render SmallCaps as span with smallcaps class (#1592), rather than using a style attribute directly. This gives the user more flexibility in styling small caps in CSS.
- With reveal.js we use
data-src
instead ofsrc
for images for lazy loading. - Special-case
.stretch
class for images in reveal.js (#1291). Now in reveal.js, an image with classstretch
in a paragraph by itself will stretch to fill the whole screen, with no caption or figure environment.
- Line block: Use class instead of style attribute (#1623). We now
issue
-
Added warnings for non-rendered blocks to writers.
-
Writers now raise an error on template failure.
-
When creating a PDF via LaTeX, warn if the font is missing some characters (#3742).
-
Remove initial check for PDF-creating program (#3819). Instead, just try running it and raise the exception if it isn’t found at that point. This improves things for users of Cygwin on Windows, where the executable won’t be found by
findExecutable
unless.exe
is added. The same exception is raised as before, but at a later point. -
Readers issue warning for duplicate header identifiers (#1745). Autogenerated header identifiers are given suffixes so as not to clash with previously used header identifiers. But they may still coincide with an explicit identifier that is given for a header later in the document, or with an identifier on a div, span, link, or image. We now issue a warning in this case, so users can supply an explicit identifier.
-
CommonMark reader now supports
emoji
,hard_line_breaks
,smart
, andraw_html
extensions. -
Markdown reader:
-
Don’t allow backslash + newline to affect block structure (#3730). Note that as a result of this change, the following, which formerly produced a header with two lines separated by a line break, will now produce a header followed by a paragraph:
Hi\
there
This may affect some existing documents that relied on this undocumented and unintended behavior. This change makes pandoc more consistent with other Markdown implementations, and with itself (since the two-space version of a line break doesn’t work inside ATX headers, and neither version works inside Setext headers).
-
-
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel, unless noted):
- Support
table.el
tables (#3314). - Support macros (#3401).
- Support the
#+INCLUDE:
file inclusion mechanism (#3510). Recognized include types areexample
,export
,src
, and normal org file inclusion. Advanced features like line numbers and level selection are not implemented yet. - Interpret more meta value as inlines. The values of the following
meta variables are now interpreted using org-markup instead of
treating them as pure strings:
keywords
(comma-separated list of inlines),subtitle
(inline values),nocite
(inline values, can be repeated). - Support
\n
export option (#3940). This turns all newlines in the text into hard linebreaks.
- Support
-
RST reader:
-
Improved admonition support (#223). We no longer add an
admonition
class, we just use the class for the type of admonition,note
for example. We put the word corresponding to the label in a paragraph inside aDiv
at the beginning of the admonition with classadmonition-title
. This is about as close as we can get to RST’s own output. -
Initial support of
.. table
directive. This allows adding captions to tables. -
Support
.. line-block
directive. This is deprecated but may still be in older documents. -
Support scale and align attributes of images (#2662).
-
Implemented implicit internal header links (#3475).
-
Support RST-style citations (#853). The citations appear at the end of the document as a definition list in a special div with id
citations
. Citations link to the definitions. -
Recurse into bodies of unknown directives (#3432). In most cases it’s better to preserve the content than to emit it. This isn’t guaranteed to have good results; it will fail spectacularly for unknown raw or verbatim directives.
-
Handle chained link definitions (#262). For example,
.. _hello: .. _goodbye: example.com
Here both
hello
andgoodbye
should link toexample.com
. -
Support anchors (#262). E.g.
`hello` .. _hello: paragraph
This is supported by putting “paragraph” in a
Div
with idhello
. -
Support
:widths:
attribute for table directive. -
Implement csv-table directive (#3533). Most attributes are supported, including
:file:
and:url:
. -
Support unknown interpreted text roles by parsing them as Span with “role” attributes (#3407). This way they can be manipulated in the AST.
-
-
HTML reader: parse a span with class
smallcaps
asSmallCaps
. -
LaTeX reader:
- Implemented
\graphicspath
(#736). - Properly handle column prefixes/suffixes. For example, in
\begin{tabular}{>{$}l<{$}>{$}l<{$} >{$}l<{$}}
each cell will be interpreted as if it has a$
before its content and a$
after (math mode). - Handle komascript
\dedication
(#1845). It now adds adedication
field to metadata. It is up to the user to supply a template that uses this variable. - Support all
\textXX
commands, where XX =rm
,tt
,up
,md
,sf
,bf
(#3488). Spans with a class are used when there is nothing better. - Expand
\newenvironment
macros (#987). - Add support for LaTeX subfiles package (Marc Schreiber, #3530).
- Better support for subfigure package (#3577). A figure with two subfigures turns into two pandoc figures; the subcaptions are used and the main caption ignored, unless there are no subcaptions.
- Add support for
\vdots
(Marc Schreiber, #3607). - Add basic support for hyphenat package (Marc Schreiber, #3603).
- Add basic
\textcolor
support (Marc Schreiber). - Add support for
tabularx
environment (Marc Schreiber, #3632). - Better handling of comments inside math environments (#3113).
This solves a problem with commented out
\end{eqnarray}
inside an eqnarray (among other things). - Parse tikzpicture as raw verbatim environment if
raw_tex
extension is selected (#3692). Otherwise skip with a warning. This is better than trying to parse it as text! - Add
\colorbox
support (Marc Schreiber). - Set identifiers on Spans used for
\label
. - Have
\setmainlanguage
setlang
in metadata. - Support etoolbox’s
\ifstrequal
. - Support
plainbreak
,fancybreak
et al from the memoir class (bucklereed, #3833). - Support
\let
. Also, fix regular macros so they’re expanded at the point of use, and NOT also the point of definition.\let
macros, by contrast, are expanded at the point of definition. Added anExpansionPoint
field toMacro
to track this difference. - Support simple
\def
macros. Note that we still don’t support macros with fancy parameter delimiters, like\def\foo#1..#2{...}
. - Support
\chaptername
,\partname
,\abstractname
, etc. (#3559, obsoletes #3560). - Put content of
\ref
,\label
,\eqref
commands intoSpan
with attributes, so they can be handled in filters (Marc Schreiber, #3639) - Add Support for
glossaries
andacronym
package (Marc Schreiber, #3589). Acronyms are not resolved by the reader, but acronym and glossary information is put into attributes on Spans so that they can be processed in filters. - Use
Link
instead ofSpan
for\ref
. This makes more sense semantically and avoids unnecessarySpan [Link]
nestings when references are resolved. - Rudimentary support for
\hyperlink
. - Support
\textquoteleft|right
,\textquotedblleft|right
(#3849). - Support
\lq
,\rq
. - Implement
\newtoggle
,\iftoggle
,\toggletrue|false
from etoolbox (#3853). - Support
\RN
and\Rn
, from biblatex (bucklereed, #3854). - Improved support for
\hyperlink
,\hypertarget
(#2549). - Support
\k
ogonek accent. - Improve handling of accents. Handle ogonek, and fall back correctly
with forms like
\"{}
. - Better support for ogonek accents.
- Support for
\faCheck
and\faClose
(Marc Schreiber, #3727). - Support for
xspace
(Marc Schreiber, #3797). - Support
\setmainlanguage
or\setdefaultlanguage
(polyglossia) and\figurename
. - Better handling of
\part
in LaTeX (#1905). Now we parse chapters as level 0 headers, and parts as level -1 headers. After parsing, we check for the lowest header level, and if it’s less than 1 we bump everything up so that 1 is the lowest header level. So\part
will always produce a header; no command-line options are needed. - Add block version of
\textcolor
(Marc Schreiber). \textcolor
works as inline and block command (Marc Schreiber).\textcolor
will be parse as span at the beginning of a paragraph (Marc Schreiber).- Read polyglossia/babel
\text(LANG){...}
(bucklereed) - Improved handling of include files in LaTeX reader (#3971).
Previously
\include
wouldn’t work if the included file contained, e.g., a begin without a matching end. - Support
\expandafter
(#3983). - Handle
\DeclareRobustCommand
(#3983). Currently it’s just treated as a synonym for\newcommand
. - Handle
\lettrine
(Mauro Bieg).
- Implemented
-
Math improvements due to updates in texmath:
- Improved handling of accents and upper/lower delimiters.
- Support for output in GNU eqn format (used with *roff).
- Allow
\boldsymbol
+ a token without braces, and similarly with other styling commands. - Improve parsing of
\mathop
to allow multi-character operator names. - Add thin space after math operators when “faking it with unicode.”
-
walk
is now used instead ofbottomUp
in theToJSONFilter
instance fora -> [a]
(pandoc-types). Note that behavior will be slightly different, sincebottomUp
’s treatment of a function[a] -> [a]
is to apply it to each sublist of a list, while walk applies it only to maximal sublists. Usually the latter behavior is what is wanted, and the former can be simulated when needed. But there may be existing filters that need to be rewritten in light of the new behavior. Performance should be improved. -
There are some changes to syntax highlighting due to revisions in the
skylighting
library:- Support for
powershell
has been added, and many syntax definitions have been updated. - Background colors have been added to the
kate
style. - The way highlighted code blocks are formatted in HTML has been changed (David Baynard), in ways that may require changes in hard-coded CSS affecting highlighting. (If you haven’t included hard-coded highlighting CSS in your template, you needn’t change anything.)
- Support for
API changes
-
New module
Text.Pandoc.Class
(Jesse Rosenthal, John MacFarlane). This contains definitions of thePandocMonad
typeclass, thePandocIO
andPandocPure
monads, and associated functions. -
Changed types of all writers and readers.
- We now use
Text
instead ofString
in the interface (#3731). (We have not yet changed the internals of most readers to work withText
, but making this change in the API now opens up a path to doing that.) - The result is now of form
m a
with constraintPandocMonad m
. Readers and writers can be combined to form monadic values which can be run using eitherrunIO
orrunPure
. IfrunIO
is used, then both readers and writers will be able to do IO when needed (for include files, for example); ifrunPure
is used, then the functions are pure and will not touch IO. - Where previously you used
writeRST def (readMarkdown def "[foo](url)")
, now you would userunPure $ readMarkdown def (pack "[foo](url)") >>= writeRST def
.
- We now use
-
New module
Text.Pandoc.Readers
(Albert Krewinkel). This contains reader helper functions formerly defined in the top-levelText.Pandoc
module.- Changed
StringReader
->TextReader
. getReader
now returns a pair of a reader andExtensions
, instead of building the extensions into the reader (#3659). The calling code must explicitly setreaderExtensions
using theExtensions
returned. The point of the change is to make it possible for the calling code to determine what extensions are being used.
- Changed
-
New module
Text.Pandoc.Writers
(Albert Krewinkel). This contains writer helper functions formerly defined in the top-levelText.Pandoc
module.- Changed
StringWriter
->TextWriter
. getWriter
now returns a pair of a reader andExtensions
, instead of building the extensions into the reader (#3659). The calling code must explicitly setreaderExtensions
using theExtensions
returned. The point of the change is to make it possible for the calling code to determine what extensions are being used.
- Changed
-
New module
Text.Pandoc.Lua
, exportingrunLuaFilter
(Albert Krewinkel, #3514). -
New module
Text.Pandoc.App
. This abstracts out the functionality of the command line program (convertWithOpts
), so it can be reproduced e.g. in a desktop or web application. Instead of exiting, we throw errors (#3548), which are caught (leading to exit) in pandoc.hs, but allow other users ofText.Pandoc.App
to recover.pandoc.hs
is now a 2-liner. The module also exports some utility functions for parsing options and running filters. -
New module
Text.Pandoc.Logging
(exported module) (#3392). This now contains theVerbosity
definition previously inText.Pandoc.Options
, as well as a newLogMessage
datatype that will eventually be used instead of raw strings for warnings. This will enable us, among other things, to provide machine-readable warnings if desired. Include ToJSON instance and showLogMessage. This gives us the possibility of both machine-readable and human-readable output for log messages. -
New module
Text.Pandoc.BCP47
, withgetLang
,Lang(..)
,parseBCP47

New module
Text.Pandoc.Translations

New module
Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX.Types', exporting
Macro,
Tok,
TokType,

Text.Pandoc.Error
: added many new constructors forPandocError
. -
Expose some previously private modules (#3260). These are often helpful to people writing their own reader or writer modules:
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
Text.Pandoc.Asciify
Text.Pandoc.Emoji
Text.Pandoc.ImageSize
Text.Pandoc.Highlighting
`
-
New module
Text.Pandoc.Extensions
(Albert Krewinkel): Extension parsing and processing functions were defined in the top-levelText.Pandoc
module. These functions are moved to the Extensions submodule as to enable reuse in other submodules. -
Add
Ext_raw_attribute
constructor forExtension
. -
Add
Ext_fenced_divs
constructor for `Extension’. -
Add
Ext_four_space_rule

Text.Pandoc.XML
:toEntities
: changed type toText -> Text
. -
Text.Pandoc.UTF8
:- Export
fromText
,fromTextLazy
,toText
,toTextLazy
. DefinetoString
,toStringLazy
in terms of them. - Add new functions parameterized on
Newline
:writeFileWith
,putStrWith
,putStrLnWith
,hPutStrWith
,hPutStrLnWith
.
- Export
-
Text.Pandoc.MediaBag
: removedextractMediaBag
. -
Text.Pandoc.Highlighting
:highlighting
now returns an Either rather than Maybe. This allows us to display error information returned by the skylighting library. Display a warning if the highlighting library throws an error.- Add parameter for
SyntaxMap
tohighlight
.
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Math
:- Export
defaultMathJaxURL
,defaultKaTeXURL
. This will ensure that we only need to update these in one place.
- Export
-
Text.Pandoc.SelfContained
:- Removed
WriterOptions
parameter frommakeSelfContained
. - Put
makeSelfContained
in PandocMonad instead of IO. This removes the need to pass MediaBag around and improves exceptions. It also opens up the possibility of using makeSelfContained purely. - Export
makeDataURI
.
- Removed
-
Text.Pandoc.ImageSize
:- Export
lengthToDim
, new functionscaleDimension
. - Export
inEm
from ImageSize (#3450). - Change
showFl
andshow
instance forDimension
so extra decimal places are omitted. - Added
Em
as a constructor ofDimension
. - Add
WriterOptions
parameter toimageSize
signature (Mauro Bieg).
- Export
-
Text.Pandoc.Templates
:- Change type of
renderTemplate'
. Now it runs inPandocMonad
and raises a properPandocTemplateError
if there are problems, rather than failing with uncatchableerror
. - Change signature of
getDefaultTemplate
. Now it runs in any instance ofPandocMonad
, and returns aString
rather than anEither
value. And it no longer takes adatadir
parameter, since this can be retrieved fromCommonState
.
- Change type of
-
Text.Pandoc.Options
:- Added
writerEpubSubdirectory
toWriterOptions
(#3720). The EPUB writer now takes its EPUB subdirectory from this option. - In
WriterOptions
, renamewriterLaTeXEngine
towriterPdfEngine
andwriterLaTeXArgs
towriterPdfArgs
(Mauro Bieg, #3909). - Add
writerSyntaxMap
toWriterOptions
. - Removed
writerEpubStylesheet
fromWriterOptions
. - Remove
writerUserDataDir
fromWriterOptions
. It is now carried inCommonState
inPandocMonad
instances. (And thus it can be used by readers too.) - Changed
writerEpubMetadata
to aMaybe String
. - Removed
readerApplyMacros
fromReaderOptions
. Now we just check thelatex_macros
reader extension. - FromJSON/ToJSON instances for
ReaderOptions
. - In
HTMLMathMethod
, theKaTeX
contsructor now takes only one string (for the KaTeX base URL), rather than two. - Removed
writerSourceURL
fromWriterOptions
. We now usestSourceURL
inCommonState
, which is set bysetInputFiles
.
- Added
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared
:tabFilter
now takes aText
, notString
.openURL
: Changed type from an Either. Now it will just raise an exception to be trapped later.- Remove
normalizeSpaces
(#1530). - Remove
warn
. (Usereport
fromText.Pandoc.Class
instead.) - Export a new function
crFilter
. - Add
eastAsianLineBreakFilter
(previously in Markdown reader). - Provide custom
isURI
that rejects unknown schemes. (Albert Krewinkel, #2713). We also export the set of knownschemes
. The new function replaces the function of the same name fromNetwork.URI
, as the latter did not check whether a scheme is well-known. All official IANA schemes (as of 2017-05-22) are included in the set of known schemes. The four non-official schemesdoi
,isbn
,javascript
, andpmid
are kept. - Remove
err
. - Remove
readDataFile
,readDefaultDataFile
,getReferenceDocx
,getReferenceODT
. These now live inText.Pandoc.Class
, where they are defined in terms ofPandocMonad
primitives and have different signatures. - Remove
openURL
. UseopenURL
fromText.Pandoc.Class
instead. - Add
underlineSpan
.
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.HTML
: export newNamedTag
class. -
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Markdown
: removereadDocxWithWarnings
. With the new API one can simply usegetLog
after running the reader. -
Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX
: Changed types forrawLaTeXInline
andrawLaTeXBlock
. (Both now return aString
, and they are polymorphic in state.)
Bug fixes and under-the-hood improvements
-
TEI writer: Added identifiers on
<div>
elements. -
DokuWiki reader: Better handling for code block in list item (#3824).
-
Custom writer: Remove old preprocesesor conditionals (Albert Krewinkel).
-
ZimWiki writer: Removed internal formatting from note and table cells, because ZimWiki does not support it (Alex Ivkin, #3446).
-
MediaWiki writer:
- Updated list of syntax highlighting languages (#3461).
Now
r
gets you<source>
rather than<code>
(among others). - Add display attribute on
<math>
tags (#3452). This allows display math to be rendered properly. - Remove newline before
</ref>
(#2652). - Don’t softbreak lines inside list items (#3531).
- Updated list of syntax highlighting languages (#3461).
Now
-
Org writer:
- Reduce to two spaces after bullets (#3417, Albert Krewinkel).
- Add unit tests (Alexander Krotov).
- Stop using raw HTML to wrap divs (Albert Krewinkel, #3771).
- Do not strip
#
from Org anchor links (Alexander Krotov).
-
CommonMark writer:
- Avoid excess blank lines at end of output.
- Prefer pipe tables to HTML tables even if it means losing relative column width information (#3734).
- Support table, strikethrough extensions, when enabled (as with gfm). Note that we bypass the commonmark writer from cmark and construct our own pipe tables, with better results.
- Properly support
--wrap=none
. - Use smallcaps class for
SmallCaps
(#1592). - Omit “fig:” prefix in image titles. This is used internally to indicate internal figures.
-
RST writer:
- Properly handle table captions.
- Don’t wrap lines in in definition list terms. Wrapping is not allowed.
- Implemented
+/-smart
and improved escaping with+smart
. - Add empty comments when needed to avoid including a blockquote in the indented content of a preceding block (#3675).
- Improve grid table output, fix bug with empty rows (#3516).
Uses the new
gridTable
in Writers.Shared, which is here improved to better handle 0-width cells. - Remove space at beginning/end of RST code span (#3496). Otherwise we get invalid RST. There seems to be no way to escape the space.
- Add header anchors when header has non-standard id (#3937).
- Correctly handle inline code containing backticks, using a
:literal:
role (#3974). - Don’t backslash-escape word-internal punctuation (#3978).
-
Markdown writer:
-
Don’t include variables in metadata blocks. Previously variables set on the command line were included in e.g. YAML metadata, contrary to documentation and intentions.
-
Improved escaping with
+smart
. -
Fixed grid tables embedded in grid tables (#2834).
-
Use span with class ‘smallcaps’ for SmallCaps, instead of a style attribute as before (#1592).
-
Escape initial
%
in a paragraph if thepandoc_title_blocks
extension is enabled (#3454). Otherwise in a document starting with a literal%
the first line is wrongly interpreted as a title. -
Fixed false ordered lists in YAML metadata (#3492, #1685). Now we properly escape things that would otherwise start ordered lists, such as
--- title: 1. inline ...
-
Better handling of tables with empty columns (#3337). We now calculate the number of columns based on the longest row (or the length of aligns or widths).
-
Escape unordered list markers at beginning of paragraph (#3497), to avoid false interpretation as a list.
-
Escape
|
appropriately. -
Ensure space before list at top level (#3487).
-
Avoid spurious blanklines at end of document after tables and list, for example.
-
Fixed bugs in simple/multiline list output (#3384). Previously we got overlong lists with
--wrap=none
. This is fixed. Previously a multiline list could become a simple list (and would always become one with--wrap=none
). -
Don’t emit a simple table if
simple_tables
disabled (#3529). -
Case-insensitive reference links (David A Roberts, #3616). Ensure that we do not generate reference links whose labels differ only by case. Also allow implicit reference links when the link text and label are identical up to case.
-
Put space before reference link definitions (Mauro Bieg, #3630).
-
Better escaping for links (David A. Roberts, #3619). Previously the Markdown writer would sometimes create links where there were none in the source. This is now avoided by selectively escaping bracket characters when they occur in a place where a link might be created.
-
Added missing
\n
(David A. Roberts, #3647). -
Fixed duplicated reference links with
--reference-links
and--reference-location=section
(#3674). Also ensure that there are no empty link references[]
. -
Avoid inline surround-marking with empty content (#3715). E.g. we don’t want
<strong></strong>
to become****
. Similarly for emphasis, super/subscript, strikeout. -
Don’t allow soft break in header (#3736).
-
Make sure
plain
,markdown_github
, etc. work for raw. Previously onlymarkdown
worked. Note: currently a raw block labeledmarkdown_github
will be printed for anymarkdown
format. -
Ensure that
+
and-
are escaped properly so they don’t cause spurious lists (#3773). Previously they were only if succeeded by a space, not if they were at end of line. -
Use pipe tables if
raw_html
disabled andpipe_tables
enabled, even if the table has relative width information (#3734). -
Markdown writer: don’t crash on
Str ""
. -
Make
Span
with null attribute transparent. That is, we don’t use brackets or<span>
tags to mark spans when there are no attributes; we simply output the contents. -
Escape pipe characters when
pipe_tables
enabled (#3887). -
Better escaping of
<
and>
. Ifall_symbols_escapable
is set, we backslash escape these. Otherwise we use entities as before. -
When writing plain, don’t use
to separate list and indented code. There’s no need for it in this context, since this isn’t to be interpreted using Markdown rules. -
Preserve classes in JS obfuscated links (Timm Albers, #2989). HTML links containing classes originally now preserve them when using javascript email obfuscation.
-
Render
SmallCaps
as a native span whennative_spans
are enabled. -
Always write attributes with
bracketed_spans
(d-dorazio).
-
-
Man writer:
- Fix handling of nested font commands (#3568). Previously pandoc emitted incorrect markup for bold + italic, for example, or bold + code.
- Avoid error for definition lists with no definitions (#3832).
-
DocBook writer:
- Fix internal links with
writerIdentifierPrefix opt
(#3397, Mauro Bieg).
- Fix internal links with
-
Docx writer:
- Don’t include bookmarks on headers unless non-null id (#3476).
- Support 9 levels of headers (#1642).
- Allow 9 list levels (#3519).
- Don’t take
distArchive
from datadir (#3322). The docx writer takes components from the distribution’s version ofreference.docx
when it can’t find them in a user’s customreference.docx
. Previously, we allowed areference.docx
in the data directory (e.g.~/.pandoc
) to be used as the distribution’s reference.docx. This led to a bizarre situation where pandoc would produce a good docx using--template ~/.pandoc/ref.docx
, but ifref.docx
were moved to~/.pandoc/reference.docx
, it would then produce a corrupted docx. - Fixed handling of soft hyphen (0173) (#3691).
- Better handling of keywords (#3719).
- Cleaner code for handling dir and style attributes for
Div
. - Use
Set
for dynamic styles to avoid duplicates. - Removed redundant element from data/docx/word/numbering.xml. The elements we need are generated when the document is compiled; this didn’t do anything.
- Activate
evenAndOddHeaders
from reference docx (#3901, Augustín Martín Barbero).
-
ODT/OpenDocument writer:
- Calculate aspect ratio for percentage-sized images (Mauro Bieg, #3239).
- Use more widely available bullet characters (#1400). The old characters weren’t available in some font sets. These seem to work well on Windows and Linux versions of LibreOffice.
- Wider labels for lists (#2421). This avoids overly narrow labels for
ordered lists with
()
delimiters. However, arguably it creates overly wide labels for bullets. Also, lists now start flush with the margin, rather than indented. - Fixed dropped elements in some ordered lists (#2434).
-
FB2 writer:
- Don’t render
RawBlock
as code. - Don’t fail with an error on interior headers (e.g. in list) (#3750). Instead, omit them with an INFO message.
- Add support for “lang” metadata (Alexander Krotov, #3625).
- Format
LineBlock
as poem (Alexander Krotov). Previously writer produced one paragraph with<empty-line/>
elements, which are not allowed inside<p>
according to FB2 schema. - Replace
concatMap
withcMap
(Alexander Krotov). - Write FB2 lists without nesting blocks inside
<p>
(Alexander Krotov, #4004)
- Don’t render
-
HTML writer:
- Make sure
html4
,html5
formats work for raw blocks/inlines. - Render raw inline environments when
--mathjax
used (#3816). We previously did this only with raw blocks, on the assumption that math environments would always be raw blocks. This has changed since we now parse them as inline environments. - Ensure we don’t get two style attributes for width and height.
- Report when not rendering raw inline/block.
- Issue warning if no title specified and template used (#3473).
- Info message if
lang
is unspecified (#3486). - Removed unused parameter in
dimensionsToAttributeList
. - Avoid two class attributes when adding
uri
class (#3716). - Fix internal links with
writerIdentifierPrefix opt
(#3397, Mauro Bieg). - Use revealjs’s math plugin for mathjax (#3743). This is a thin wrapper around mathjax that makes math look better on revealjs.
- Slidy: use h1 for all slides, even if they were originally level 2 headers (#3566). Otherwise the built-in table of contents in Slidy breaks.
- Make sure
-
LaTeX writer:
- Don’t render LaTeX images with data: URIs (#3636). Note that
--extract-media
can be used when the input contains data: URIs. - Make highlighted code blocks work in footnotes (Timm Albers).
- Don’t use figure inside table cell (#3836).
- Use proper code for list enumerators (#3891). This should fix problems with lists that don’t use arabic numerals.
- Always add hypertarget when there’s a non-empty identifier (#2719). Previously the hypertargets were only added when there was actually a link to that identifier.
- Use
%
after hypertarget before code block. - Add
\leavevmode
before hypertarget at start of paragraph (#2704, fixes formatting problems in beamer citations). - Don’t use
lstinline
in\item[..]
(#645). If you do, the contents of item disappear or are misplaced. Use\texttt
instead. - Fix problem with escaping in
lstinline
(#1629). Previously the LaTeX writer created invalid LaTeX when--listings
was specified and a code span occurred inside emphasis or another construction. - Fix error with line breaks after empty content (#2874). LaTeX
requires something before a line break, so we insert a
~
if no printable content has yet been emitted. - Use BCP47 parser.
- Fixed detection of otherlangs (#3770). We weren’t recursing into inline contexts.
- Handle language in inline code with
--listings
(#3422). - Write euro symbol directly in LaTeX (Andrew Dunning, #3801).
The textcomp package allows pdfLaTeX to parse
€
directly, making the\euro
command unneeded. - Fixed footnotes in table captions (#2378). Note that if the table has a first page header and a continuation page header, the notes will appear only on the first occurrence of the header.
- In
writeBeamer
output, allow hyperlinks to frames (#3220). Previously you could link to a header above or below slide level but not to slide level. This commit changes that. Hypertargets are inserted inside frame titles; technically the reference is to just after the title, but in normal use (where slides are viewed full screen in a slide show), this does not matter. - Remove
\strut
at beginning of table cells (#3436). This fixes a problem with alignment of lists in table cells. The\strut
at the end seems to be enough to avoid the too-close spacing that motivated addition of the strut in #1573. - Add partial siunitx Support (Marc Schreiber, #3588).
- Don’t render LaTeX images with data: URIs (#3636). Note that
-
ConTeXt writer:
- Refactored to use BCP47 module.
- Remove unnecessary
$
(Alexander Krotov, #3482). - Use header identifiers for chapters (#3968).
-
EPUB writer:
title_page.xhtml
is now put intext/
.- Don’t strip formatting in TOC (#1611).
-
Textile reader:
- Fix bug for certain links in table cells (#3667).
- Allow ‘pre’ code in list item (#3916).
-
HTML reader:
- Added warnings for ignored material (#3392).
- Better sanity checks to avoid parsing unintended things as raw HTML in the Markdown reader (#3257).
- Revise treatment of
li
withid
attribute (#3596). Previously we always added an empty div before the list item, but this created problems with spacing in tight lists. Now we do this: If the list item contents begin with aPlain
block, we modify thePlain
block by adding aSpan
around its contents. Otherwise, we add aDiv
around the contents of the list item (instead of adding an emptyDiv
to the beginning, as before). - Add
details
tag to list of block tags (#3694). - Removed
button
from block tag list (#3717). It is already in theeitherBlockOrInlineTag
list, and should be both places. - Use
Set
s instead of lists for block tag lookup. - Rewrote to use
Text
throughout. Effect on memory usage is modest (< 10%). - Use the lang value of
<html>
to set the lang meta value (bucklereed, #3765). - Ensure that paragraphs are closed properly when the parent block
element closes, even without
</p>
(#3794). - Parse
<figure>
and<figcaption>
(Mauro Bieg, #3813). - Parse
<main>
like<div role=main>
(bucklereed, #3791).<main>
closes<p>
and behaves like a block element generally - Support column alignments (#1881). These can be set either
with a
width
attribute or withtext-width
in astyle
attribute. - Modified state type to be an instance of
HasLogMessages
, soregisterHeader
can issue warnings. </td>
or</th>
should close any open block tag (#3991).<td>
should close an open<th>
or<td>
.htmlTag
improvements (#3989). We previously failed on cases where an attribute contained a>
character. This patch fixes the bug, which especially affects raw HTML in Markdown.
-
Txt2Tags reader:
- Newline is not indentation (Alexander Krotov).
-
MediaWiki reader:
- Allow extra hyphens after
|-
in tables (#2649). - Allow blank line after table start (#2649).
- Fixed more table issues (#2649).
- Ensure that list starts begin at left margin (#2606). Including when they’re in tables or other list items.
- Make smart double quotes depend on
smart
extension (#3585). - Don’t do curly quotes inside
<tt>
contexts (#3585). Even if+smart
. - Modified state type to be an instance of
HasLogMessages
, soregisterHeader
can issue warnings.
- Allow extra hyphens after
-
TWiki reader (Alexander Krotov):
- Remove unnecessary
$
(#3597). - Simplify
linkText
(#3605).
- Remove unnecessary
-
EPUB reader:
- Minor refactoring, avoiding explicit MediaBag handling. This all works behind the scenes in CommonState plumbing.
-
Docx reader:
- Don’t drop smartTag contents (#2242).
- Handle local namespace declarations (#3365). Previously we didn’t recognize math, for example, when the xmlns declaration occurred on the element and not the root.
- More efficient trimSps (#1530). Replacing
trimLineBreaks
. This does the work ofnormalizeSpaces
as well, so we avoid the need for that function here. - Avoid 0-level headers (Jesse Rosenthal, #3830). We used to parse paragraphs styled with “HeadingN” as “nth-level header.” But if a document has a custom style named “Heading0”, this will produce a 0-level header, which shouldn’t exist. We only parse this style if N>0. Otherwise we treat it as a normal style name, and follow its dependencies, if any.
- Add tests for avoiding zero-level header (Jesse Rosenthal).
-
ODT reader:
- Replaced
collectRights
with Rights fromData.Either
. - Remove dead code (Albert Krewinkel).
- Replaced
-
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel, unless noted).
- Don’t allow tables inside list items (John MacFarlane, #3499).
- Disallow tables on list marker lines (#3499).
- Convert markup at beginning of footnotes (John MacFarlane, #3576).
- Allow emphasized text to be followed by
[
(#3577). - Handle line numbering switch for src blocks.
The line-numbering switch that can be given to source blocks (
-n
with an start number as an optional parameter) is parsed and translated to a class/key-value combination used by highlighting and other readers and writers. - Stop adding rundoc prefix to src params. Source block parameter names
are no longer prefixed with
rundoc
. This was intended to simplify working with the rundoc project, a babel runner. However, the rundoc project is unmaintained, and adding those markers is not the reader’s job anyway. The original language that is specified for a source element is now retained as thedata-org-language
attribute and only added if it differs from the translated language. - Allow multi-word arguments to src block params (#3477). The reader now correctly parses src block parameter list even if parameter arguments contain multiple words.
- Avoid creating
nullMeta
by applyingsetMeta
directly (Alexander Krotov). - Replace
sequence . map
withmapM
. - Fix smart parsing behavior. Parsing of smart quotes and special
characters can either be enabled via the
smart
language extension or the'
and-
export options. Smart parsing is active if either the extension or export option is enabled. Only smart parsing of special characters (like ellipses and en and em dashes) is enabled by default, while smart quotes are disabled. Previously, all smart parsing was disabled unless the language extension was enabled. - Subject full doc tree to headline transformations (Albert Krewinkel, #3695). Emacs parses org documents into a tree structure, which is then post-processed during exporting. The reader is changed to do the same, turning the document into a single tree of headlines starting at level 0.
- Fix cite parsing behaviour (Herwig Stuetz). Until now,
org-ref
cite keys included special characters also at the end. This caused problems when citations occur right before colons or at the end of a sentence. With this change, all non alphanumeric characters at the end of a cite key are ignored. This also adds,
to the list of special characters that are legal in cite keys to better mirror the behaviour of org-export. - Fix module names in haddock comments. Copy-pasting had lead to haddock module descriptions containing the wrong module names.
- Recognize babel result blocks with attributes (#3706). Babel result blocks can have block attributes like captions and names. Result blocks with attributes were not recognized and were parsed as normal blocks without attributes.
- Include tags in headlines. The Emacs default is to include tags in the headline when exporting. Instead of just empty spans, which contain the tag name as attribute, tags are rendered as small caps and wrapped in those spans. Non-breaking spaces serve as separators for multiple tags.
- Respect export option for tags (#3713). Tags are appended to
headlines by default, but will be omitted when the
tags
export option is set to nil. - Use
tag-name
attribute instead ofdata-tag-name
. - Use
org-language
attribute rather thandata-org-language
. - Modified state type to be an instance of
HasLogMessages
, soregisterHeader
can issue warnings. - End footnotes after two blank lines. Footnotes can not only be terminated by the start of a new footnote or a header, but also by two consecutive blank lines.
- Update emphasis border chars (#3933). The org reader was updated to
match current org-mode behavior: the set of characters which are
acceptable to occur as the first or last character in an org emphasis
have been changed and now allows all non-whitespace chars at the
inner border of emphasized text (see
org-emphasis-regexp-components
).
-
RST reader:
-
Fixed small bug in list parsing (#3432). Previously the parser didn’t handle properly this case:
* - a - b * - c - d
-
Handle multiline cells in simple tables (#1166).
-
Parse list table directive (Keiichiro Shikano, #3432).
-
Make use of
anyLineNewline
(Alexander Krotov, #3686). -
Use
anyLineNewline
inrawListItem
(Alexander Krotov, #3702). -
Reorganize block parsers for ~20% faster parsing.
-
Fixed
..include::
directive (#3880). -
Handle blank lines correctly in line blocks (Alexander Krotov, #3881). Previously pandoc would sometimes combine two line blocks separated by blanks, and ignore trailing blank lines within the line block.
-
Fix indirect hyperlink targets (#512).
-
-
Markdown reader:
- Allow attributes in reference links to start on next line (#3674).
- Parse YAML metadata in a context that sees footnotes defined in the body of the document (#1279).
- When splitting pipe table cells, skip tex math (#3481).
You might have a
|
character inside math. (Or for that matter something that the parser might mistake for raw HTML.) - Treat span with class
smallcaps
as SmallCaps. This allows users to specify small caps in Markdown this way:[my text]{.smallcaps}
(#1592). - Fixed internal header links (#2397).
This patch also adds
shortcut_reference_links
to the list of mmd extensions. - Treat certain environments as inline when they occur without space surrounding them (#3309, #2171). E.g. equation, math. This avoids incorrect vertical space around equations.
- Optimized
nonindentSpaces
. Makes the benchmark go from 40 to 36 ms. - Allow latex macro definitions indented 1-3 spaces. Previously they only worked if nonindented.
- Improved parsing of indented raw HTML blocks (#1841).
Previously we inadvertently interpreted indented HTML as
code blocks. This was a regression. We now seek to determine the
indentation level of the contents of an HTML block, and (optionally)
skip that much indentation. As a side effect, indentation may be
stripped off of raw HTML blocks, if
markdown_in_html_blocks
is used. This is better than having things interpreted as indented code blocks. - Fixed smart quotes after emphasis (#2228). E.g. in
*foo*'s 'foo'
. - Warn for notes defined but not used (#1718).
- Use
anyLineNewline
(Alexander Krotov). - Interpret YAML metadata as Inlines when possible (#3755). If
the metadata field is all on one line, we try to interpret it as
Inlines, and only try parsing as Blocks if that fails. If it
extends over one line (including possibly the
|
or>
character signaling an indented block), then we parse as Blocks. This was motivated by some German users finding thatdate: '22. Juin 2017'
got parsed as an ordered list. - Fixed spurious parsing as citation as reference def (#3840).
We now disallow reference keys starting with
@
if thecitations
extension is enabled. - Parse
-@roe
as suppress-author citation (pandoc-citeproc#237). Previously only[-@roe]
(with brackets) was recognized as suppress-author, and-@roe
was treated the same as@roe
. - Fixed parsing of fenced code after list when there is no intervening blank line (#3733).
- Allow raw latex commands starting with
\start
(#3558). Previously these weren’t allowed because they were interpreted as starting ConTeXt environments, even without a corresponding\stop
… - Added
inlines
,inlines1
. - Require nonempty alt text for
implicit_figures
(#2844). A figure with an empty caption doesn’t make sense. - Removed texmath macro material; now all this is handled in the LaTeX reader functions.
- Fixed bug with indented code following raw LaTeX (#3947).
-
LaTeX reader:
- Rewrote LaTeX reader with proper tokenization (#1390, #2118, #3236, #3779, #934, #982). This rewrite is primarily motivated by the need to get macros working properly. A side benefit is that the reader is significantly faster. We now tokenize the input text, then parse the token stream. Macros modify the token stream, so they should now be effective in any context, including math. Thus, we no longer need the clunky macro processing capacities of texmath.
- Parse
\,
to\8198
(six-per-em space) (Henri Werth). - Allow
\newcommand\foo{blah}
without braces. - Support
\lstinputlisting
(#2116). - Issue warnings when skipping unknown latex commands (#3392).
- Include contents of
\parbox
. - Allow
\hspace
and\vspace
to count as raw block or inline. Previously we would refuse to parse anything as raw inline if it was in theblockCommands
list. Now we allow exceptions if they’re listed under ignoreInlines in inlineCommands. This should make it easier e.g. to include an\hspace
between two side-by-side raw LaTeX tables. - Don’t drop contents of
\hypertarget
. - Handle spaces before
\cite
arguments. - Allow newpage, clearpage, pagebreak in inline contexts as well as block contexts (#3494).
- Treat
{{xxx}}
the same as{xxx}
(#2115). - Use
pMacroDefinition
in macro (for more direct parsing). Note that this means thatmacro
will now parse one macro at a time, rather than parsing a whole group together. - Fixed failures on
\ref{}
,\label{}
with+raw_tex
. Now these commands are parsed as raw if+raw_tex
; otherwise, their argument is parsed as a bracketed string. - Don’t crash on empty
enumerate
environment (#3707). - Handle escaped
&
inside table cell (#3708). - Handle block structure inside table cells (#3709).
minipage
is no longer required. - Handle some width specifiers on table columns (#3709). Currently
we only handle the form
0.9\linewidth
. Anything else would have to be converted to a percentage, using some kind arbitrary assumptions about line widths. - Make sure
\write18
is parsed as raw LaTeX. The change is in the LaTeX reader’s treatment of raw commands, but it also affects the Markdown reader. - Fixed regression with starred environment names (#3803).
- Handle optional args in raw
\titleformat
(#3804). - Improved heuristic for raw block/inline. An unknown command at the
beginning of the line that could be either block or inline is
treated as block if we have a sequence of block commands followed by
a newline or a
\startXXX
command (which might start a raw ConTeXt environment). - Don’t remove macro definitions from the output, even if
Ext_latex_macros
is set, so that macros will be applied. Since they’re only applied to math in Markdown, removing the macros can have bad effects. Even for math macros, keeping them should be harmless. - Removed
macro
. It is no longer necessary, since therawLaTeXBlock
parser will parse macro definitions. This also avoids the need for a separatelatexMacro
parser in the Markdown reader. - Use
label
instead ofdata-label
for label in caption (#3639). - Fixed space after
\figurename
etc. - Resolve references to section numbers.
- Fix
\let\a=0
case, with single character token. - Allow
@
as a letter in control sequences.@
is commonly used in macros using\makeatletter
. Ideally we’d make the tokenizer sensitive to\makeatletter
and\makeatother
, but until then this seems a good change. - Track header numbers and correlate with labels.
- Allow
]
inside group in option brackets (#3857). - lstinline with braces can be used (verb cannot be used with braces) (Marc Schreiber, #3535).
- Fix keyval function: pandoc did not parse options in braces correctly (Marc Schreiber, #3642).
- When parsing raw LaTeX commands, include trailing space (#1773).
Otherwise things like
\noindent foo
break and turn into\noindentfoo
. Affects-f latex+raw_tex
and-f markdown
(and other formats that allowraw_tex
). - Don’t treat “…” as Quoted (#3958). This caused quotes to be omitted in
\texttt
contexts. - Add tests for existing
\includegraphics
behaviour (Ben Firshman). - Allow space before
=
in bracketd options (Ben Firshman). - Be more forgiving in parsing command options. This was needed, for example, to make some minted options work.
- Strip off quotes in
\include
filenames.
-
Added
Text.Pandoc.CSV
, simple (unexported) CSV parser. -
Text.Pandoc.PDF
:- Got
--resource-path
working with PDF output (#852). - Fetch images when generating PDF via context (#3380). To do this, we create the temp directory as a subdirectory of the working directory. Since context mk IV by default looks for images in the parent directory, this works.
- Use
report
instead ofwarn
, make it sensitive to verbosity settings. - Use
fillMediaBag
andextractMedia
to extract media to temp dir. This reduces code duplication. html2pdf
: use stdin instead of intermediate HTML file- Removed useless
TEXINPUTS
stuff forcontext2pdf
. mkiv context doesn’t useTEXINPUTS
.
- Got
-
Text.Pandoc.Pretty
:- Simplified definition of

. - Don’t error for blocks of size < 1. Instead, resize to 1 (see #1785).
- Simplified definition of

Text.Pandoc.MIME
:- Use
application/javascript
(notapplication/x-javascript
). - Added
emf
to mimeTypes with typeapplication/x-msmetafile
(#1713).
- Use
-
Text.Pandoc.ImageSize
:- Improve SVG image size code (Marc Schreiber, #3580).
- Make
imageSize
recognize basic SVG dimensions (Mauro Bieg, #3462).
-
Use
Control.Monad.State.Strict
throughout. This gives 20-30% speedup and reduction of memory usage in most of the writers. -
Use
foldrWithKey
instead of deprecatedfoldWithKey
. -
Text.Pandoc.SelfContained
:- Fixed problem with embedded fonts (#3629).
- Refactored getData from
getDataURI
inSelfContained
. - Don’t use data URIs for script or style (#3423). Instead, just use
script or style tags with the content inside. The old method with
data URIs prevents certain optimizations outside pandoc. Exception:
data URIs are still used when a script contains
</script>
or a style contains</
. - SelfContained: Handle URL inside material retrieved from a URL (#3629). This can happen e.g. with an @import of a google web font. (What is imported is some CSS which contains an url reference to the font itself.) Also, allow unescaped pipe (|) in URL.
- Load resources from
data-src
(needed for lazy loading in reveal.js slide shows). - Handle
data-background-image
attribute on section (#3979).
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
:- Added
indentWith
(Alexander Krotov, #3687). - Added
stateCitations
toParserState
. - Removed
stateChapters
fromParserState
. - In
ParserState
, makestateNotes'
a Map, addstateNoteRefs
. - Added
gobbleSpaces
andgobbleAtMostSpaces
. - Adjusted type of
insertIncludedFile
so it can be used with token parser. - Replace old texmath macro stuff from Parsing. Use Macro from Text.Pandoc.Readers.LaTeX.Types instead.
- Export
insertIncludedFile
. - Added
HasLogMessages
,logMessage
,reportLogMessages
(#3447). - Replace partial with total function (Albert Krewinkel).
- Introduce
HasIncludeFiles
type class (Albert Krewinkel). TheinsertIncludeFile
function is generalized to work with all parser states which are instances of that class. - Add
insertIncludedFilesF
which returns F blocks (Albert Krewinkel). TheinsertIncludeFiles
function was generalized and renamed toinsertIncludedFiles'
; the specialized versions are based on that. many1Till
: Check for the end condition before parsing (Herwig Stuetz). By not checking for the end condition before the first parse, the parser was applied too often, consuming too much of the input. This only affectsmany1Till p end
wherep
matches on a prefix ofend
.- Provide
parseFromString
(#3690). This is a version ofparseFromString
specialied to ParserState, which resetsstateLastStrPos
at the end. This is almost always what we want. This fixes a bug where_hi_
wasn’t treated as emphasis in the following, because pandoc got confused about the position of the last word:- [o] _hi_
. - Added
takeP
,takeWhileP
for efficient parsing of[Char]
. - Fix
blanklines
documentation (Alexander Krotov, #3843). - Give less misleading line information with
parseWithString
. Previously positions would be reported past the end of the chunk. We now reset the source position within the chunk and report positions “in chunk.” - Add
anyLineNewline
(Alexander Krotov). - Provide shared F monad functions for Markdown and Org readers
(Albert Krewinkel). The
F
monads used for delayed evaluation of certain values in the Markdown and Org readers are based on a shared data type capturing the common pattern of bothF
types. - Add
returnF
(Alexander Krotov). - Avoid parsing
Notes:**
as a bare URI (#3570). This avoids parsing bare URIs that start with a scheme + colon +*
,_
, or]
. - Added
readerAbbreviations
toParserState
. Markdown reader now consults this to determine what is an abbreviation. - Combine grid table parsers (Albert Krewinkel, #3638). The grid table
parsers for markdown and rst was combined into one single
parser
gridTable
, slightly changing parsing behavior of both parsers: (1) The markdown parser now compactifies block content cell-wise: pure text blocks in cells are now treated as paragraphs only if the cell contains multiple paragraphs, and as plain blocks otherwise. Before, this was true only for single-column tables. (2) The rst parser now accepts newlines and multiple blocks in header cells. - Generalize tableWith, gridTableWith (Albert Krewinkel).
The parsing functions
tableWith
andgridTableWith
are generalized to work with more parsers. The parser state only has to be an instance of theHasOptions
class instead of requiring a concrete type. Block parsers are required to return blocks wrapped into a monad, as this makes it possible to use parsers returning results wrapped inFuture
s.
- Added
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared
:- Simplify
toRomanNumeral
using guards (Alexander Krotov, #3445) stringify
: handle Quoted better (#3958). Previously we were losing the quotation marks in Quoted elements.
- Simplify
-
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared
:- Export
metaToJSON'
,addVariablesToJSON
(#3439). This allows us to add the variables AFTER using the metadata to generate a YAML header (in the Markdown writer). - Added
unsmartify
(previously in RST writer). Undo literal double curly quotes. Previously we left these. - Generalize type of
metaToJSON
so it can take a Text. Previously a String was needed as argument; now any ToJSON instance will do. - Added
gridTable
(previously in Markdown writer). gridTable
: Refactored to use widths in chars.gridTable
: remove unnecessary extra space in cells.- Fixed
addVariablesToJSON
. It was previously not allowing multiple values to become lists. - Pipe tables: impose minimum cell size (see #3526).
- Export
Default template changes
-
HTML templates (including EPUB and HTML slide show templates):
- Make default.html5 polyglot markup conformant (John Luke Bentley, #3473). Polyglot markup is HTML5 that is also valid XHTML. See https://www.w3.org/TR/html-polyglot. With this change, pandoc’s html5 writer creates HTML that is both valid HTML5 and valid XHTML.
- Regularized CSS in html/epub/html slide templates (#3485).
All templates now include
code{white-space: pre-wrap}
and CSS forq
if--html-q-tags
is used. Previously some templates hadpre
and otherspre-wrap
; theq
styles were only sometimes included. - CSS for
.smallcaps
, (Mauro Bieg, #1592) default.revealjs
: makehistory
default to true.default.revealjs
: use lazy loading (#2283).default.revealjs
: addmathjax
variable and some conditional code to use the MathJaX plugin.default.slidy
useshttps
instead ofhttp
(ickc, #3848).default.dzslides
: Load Google Font using HTTPS by default (Yoan Blanc).
-
DocBook5 template: Use
lang
andsubtitle
variables (Jens Getreu, #3855). -
LaTeX/Beamer template:
- Combine LaTeX/Beamer templates (Andrew Dunning, #3878).
default.beamer
has been removed; beamer now uses thedefault.latex
template. Beamer-specific parts are conditional on thebeamer
variable set by the writer. Note thatpandoc -D beamer
will return this (combined) template. - Use
xcolor
forcolorlinks
option (Andrew Dunning, #3877). Beamer loadsxcolor
rather thancolor
, and thus thedvipsnames
option doesn’t take effect. This also provides a wider range of colour selections with thesvgnames
option. - Use starred versions of
xcolor
names (Andrew Dunning). Prevents changes to documents defined using thedvipsnames
list (e.g.Blue
gives a different result with svgnames enabled). - Load
polyglossia
after header-includes (#3898). It needs to be loaded as late as possible. - Use
unicode-math
(Vaclav Haisman). Usemathspec
with only XeLaTeX on request. - Don’t load
fontspec
beforeunicode-math
(over there). Theunicode-math
package loadsfontspec
so explicit loading offontspec
beforeunicode-math
is not necessary. - Use
unicode-math
by default in default.latex template. mathspec will be used in xelatex if themathspec
variable is set; otherwise unicode-math will be used (Václav Haisman). - Use
dvipsnames
options whencolorlinks
specified (otherwise we get an error formaroon
) (Thomas Hodgson). - Added beamer
titlegraphic
andlogo
variables (Thomas Hodgson). - Fix typo in fix for notes in tables (#2378, zeeMonkeez).
- Fix
hyperref
options clash (Andrew Dunning, #3847) Avoids an options clash when loading a package (e.g.tufte-latex
) that useshyperref
settings different from those in the template. - Add
natbiboptions
variable (#3768). - Fix links inside captions in LaTeX output with links-as-notes
(Václav Haisman, #3651). Declare our redefined
\href
robust. - Load
parskip
beforehyperref
(Václav Haisman, #3654). - Allow setting Japanese fonts when using LuaLaTeX (Václav Haisman,
#3873). by using the
luatexja-fontspec
andluatexja-preset
packages. Use existingCJKmainfont
andCJKoptions
template variables. Addluatexjafontspecoptions
forluatexja-fontspec
andluatexjapresetoptions
forluatexja-preset
. - Added
aspectratio
variable to beamer template (Václav Haisman, #3723). - Modified template.latex to fix XeLaTex being used with tables
(lwolfsonkin, #3661). Reordered
lang
variable handling to immediately beforebidi
.
- Combine LaTeX/Beamer templates (Andrew Dunning, #3878).
-
ConTeXt template: Improved font handling:
simplefonts
is now obsolete in ConTeXt (Pablo Rodríguez).
Documentation improvements
-
MANUAL.txt:
- Add URL for Prince HTML > PDF engine (Ian, #3919).
- Document that content above slide-level will be omitted in slide shows. See #3460, #2265.
- Explain
--webtex
SVG url (Mauro Bieg, #3471) - Small clarification in YAML metadata section.
- Document that html4 is technically XHTML 1.0 transitional.
- Remove refs to highlighting-kate (#3672).
- Document ibooks specific epub metadata.
- Clarify that mathml is used for ODT math.
- Mention limitations of Literate Haskell Support (#3410, Joachim Breitner).
- Add documentation of limitations of grid tables (Stephen McDowell, #3864).
- Clarify that meta-json contains transformed values (Jakob Voß,
#3491) Make clear that template variable
meta-json
does not contain plain text values or JSON output format but field values transformed to the selected output format.
-
COPYRIGHT:
- Clarify that templates are dual-licensed.
- Clarify that pandoc-types is BSD3 licensed.
- List new files not written by jgm (Albert Krewinkel).
- Update dates in copyright notices (Albert Krewinkel). This follows the suggestions given by the FSF for GPL licensed software. https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html
-
INSTALL.md:
- Improved instructions for tests with patterns.
- Put RPM-based distros on separate point (Mauro Bieg, #3449)
-
CONTRIBUTING.md:
- Fixed typos (Wandmalfarbe, #3479).
- Add “ask on pandoc-discuss” (Mauro Bieg).
-
Add lua filter documentation in
doc/lua-filters.md
. Note that the end of this document is autogenerated fromdata/pandoc.lua
usingmake doc/lua-filters.md
, which usestools/ldoc.ltp
(Albert Krewinkel). -
Add
doc/filters.md
. This is the old scripting tutorial from the website. -
Add
doc/using-the-pandoc-api.md
(#3289). This gives an introduction to using pandoc as a Haskell library.
Build infrastructure improvements
-
Removed
data/templates
submodule. Templates are now a subtree indata/templates
. This removes the need to dogit submodule update
. -
Renamed
tests
->test
. -
Remove
https
flag. Always build with HTTPS support. -
Use
file-embed
instead ofhsb2hs
to embed data files whenembed_data_files
flag is set.file-embed
gives us better dependency tracking: if a data file changes, ghc/stack/cabal know to recompile the Data module. This also removeshsb2hs
as a build dependency. -
Add
custom-setup
stanza to pandoc, lowercase field names. -
Add
static
Cabal flag. -
Name change OSX -> MacOS. Add a -MacOS suffix to mac package rather than -OSX. Changed local names from osx to macos.
-
make_macos_package.sh - Use strip to reduce executable size.
-
Revised binary linux package. Now a completely static executable is created, using Docker and alpine. We create both a deb and a tarball. The old
deb
directory has been replaced with alinux
directory. Runningmake
in thelinux
directory should perform the build, putting the binary packages inartifacts/
. -
linux/control.in
: addReplaces:
, so existing pandoc-citeproc and pandoc-data packages will be uninstalled; this package provides both (#3822). Add latex packages as ‘suggested’, update description. -
Remove cpphs build requirement – it is no longer needed.
-
Replaced
{deb,macos,windows}/stack.yaml
withstack.pkg.yaml
. -
Name change OSX -> macOS (ickc, #3869).
-
Fix casing of Linux, UNIX, and Windows (ickc).
-
.travis.yml
: create a source dist and do cabal build and test there. That way we catch errors due to files missing from the data section of pandoc.cabal. -
Makefile:
- Split
make haddock
frommake full
. - Add BRANCH variable for winpkg.
- Add
lint
target. - Improve
make full
. Disable optimizations. Build everything, inc. trypandoc and benchmarks. Use parallel build. - Allow
make test
to takeTESTARGS
.
- Split
-
Added new command tests (
Tests.Command
), using small text files intest/command/
. Any files added in this directory will be treated as shell tests (see smart.md for an example). This makes it very easy to add regression tests etc. -
Test fixes so we can find data files. In old tests & command tests, we now set the environment variable
pandoc_datadir
. In lua tests, we set the datadir explicitly. -
Refactored
compareOutput
in docx writer test. -
Consolidated some common functions in
Tests.Helper
. -
Small change to unbalanced bracket test to speed up test suite.
-
Speed up Native writer quickcheck tests.
-
Use tasty for tests rather than test-framework.
-
Add simple Emacs mode to help with Pandoc templates editing. (Václav Haisman, #3889).

pandoc 1.19.2.4 (2017-09-10)
- Add dependencies on texmath and skylighting to the executable. This is needed for dependency version numbers to be available, with Cabal > 2.
pandoc 1.19.2.3 (2017-09-09)
- Add CPP to Setup.hs so it works with Cabal >= 2 and < 2.
pandoc 1.19.2.2 (2017-09-08)
- Fix build with GHC 8.2.1 (#3876, Peter Simons). Setup.hs does not compile with Cabal 2.x, so we require an earlier version via setup-depends. The following packages need newer versions with GHC 8.2.1 and had their constraints relaxed accordingly: executable-path, process, syb, and time.
pandoc 1.19.2.1 (2017-01-31)
- Require skylighting >= 0.1.1.4.
- Adjust test output for skylighting version.
- Relax upper bounds on blaze-html and blaze-markup.
pandoc 1.19.2 (2017-01-29)
-
Use skylighting library instead of highlighting-kate for syntax highlighting. Skylighting is faster and more accurate (#3363). Later we’ll be able to add features like warning messages, dynamic loading of xml syntax definitions, and dynamic loading of themes.
-
Added a new highlight style,
breezeDark
. -
Text.Pandoc.Highlighting: Update list of
listings
languages (#3374). This allows more languages to be used when using the--listings
option. -
OpenDocument writer:
- Small refactoring. Removed separate ‘parent’ parameter in paraStyle.
- Don’t profilerate text styles unnecessarily (#3371). This change makes the writer create only as many temporary text styles as are absolutely necessary. It also consolidates adjacent nodes with the same style.
-
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel):
- Allow short hand for single-line raw blocks (Albert Krewinkel,
#3366). Single-line raw blocks can be given via
#+FORMAT: raw line
, whereFORMAT
must be one oflatex
,beamer
,html
, ortexinfo
. - Accept org-ref citations followed by commas (Albert Krewinkel). Bugfix for an issue which, whenever the citation was immediately followed by a comma, prevented correct parsing of org-ref citations.
- Ensure emphasis markup can be nested. Nested emphasis markup (e.g.
/*strong and emphasized*/
) was interpreted incorrectly in that the inner markup was not recognized. - Remove pipe char irking the haddock coverage tool (Albert Krewinkel).
- Allow short hand for single-line raw blocks (Albert Krewinkel,
#3366). Single-line raw blocks can be given via
-
Docx reader: Empty header should be list of lists (Jesse Rosenthal). In the past, the docx reader wrote an empty header as an empty list. It should have the same width as a row (and be filled with empty cells).
-
MediaWiki reader:
- Improved handling of display math (#3362). Sometimes display math is indented with more than one colon. Previously we handled these cases badly, generating definition lists and missing the math.
- Fix quotation mark parsing (#3336, tgkokk). Change MediaWiki reader’s behavior when the smart option is parsed to match other readers’ behavior.
-
Markdown reader:
- Fixed
-f markdown_github-hard_line_breaks+escaped_line_breaks
(#3341). Previously this did not properly enable escaped line breaks. - Disallow space between inline code and attributes (#3326, #3323, Mauro Bieg).
- Fixed
-
DocBook5 writer: make id attribute xml:id, fixes #3329 (#3330, Mauro Bieg).
-
Added some test cases for ODT reader (#3306, #3308, Hubert Plociniczak).
-
LaTeX writer: allow tables with empty cells to count as “plain.” This addresses a problem of too-wide tables when empty cells are used. Thanks to Joost Kremers for reporting the issue.
-
Org writer: prefix footnote numbers with
fn:
(Albert Krewinkel). Unprefixed numbers where used by older org-mode versions, but are no longer supported. -
HTML writer: don’t process pars with empty RawInline, (#1040, #3327, Mauro Bieg).
-
Markdown writer: Fix display math with
--webtex
(#3298). -
Fix sample.lua so it properly handles raw blocks/inlines (#3358, bumper314).
-
Templates:
- default.latex: Moved geometry after hyperref (Václav Haisman). Otherwise PDF sizes can be wrong in some circumstances.
- Copied a few changes from default.latex to default.beamer (Wandmalfarbe).
- default.latex, default.beamer: Changed position of
\VerbatimNotes
andfancyvrb
. This fixes hyperlinks on footnotes in documents that contain verbatim in notes (#3361). (Note: the beamer template was updated to match the LaTeX template, but at this point verbatim in notes seems not to work in beamer.) - default.latex: Allow passing
microtypeoptions
to microtype (Václav Haisman). - default.latex: Add hyphen option to url package.
- default.docbook5: Fix namespace declarations (Mauro Bieg).
-
Moved
make_osx_package.sh
toosx/
directory. -
Travis continuous integration:
- Fix false positives with dist build.
- Speed improvements (Kolen Cheung, #3304, #3357).
-
MANUAL.txt:
- Clarify that blank space is needed around footnotes (#3352).
- Fixed typo (#3351, Alexey Rogechev).
- Note that
--wrap=auto
does not work in HTML output. - Default
--columns
width is 72, not 80. - Fixed broken links (#3316, Kolen Cheung).
- Document usage of
@*
in nocite section (#3333, John Muccigrosso).
-
INSTALL.md:
- Indent code so it’s properly formatted (#3335, Bheesham Persaud).
- Added instructions for extracting binary from OSX, Windows packages.
-
CONTRIBUTING.md: Describe labels currently used in issue tracker (Albert Krewinkel). The labels have changed over time, the list of labels is updated to reflect the current set of labels used in the issue tracker.
-
Rearrange and extend badges in README (Albert Krewinkel, #3354)
-
Bumped version bounds for dependencies.
pandoc 1.19.1 (2016-12-10)
-
Set
PANDOC_VERSION
environment variable for filters (#2640). This allows filters to check the pandoc version that produced the JSON they are receiving. -
Docx reader: Ensure one-row tables don’t have header (#3285, Jesse Rosenthal). Tables in MS Word are set by default to have special first-row formatting, which pandoc uses to determine whether or not they have a header. This means that one-row tables will, by default, have only a header – which we imagine is not what people want. This change ensures that a one-row table is not understood to be a header only. Note that this means that it is impossible to produce a header-only table from docx, even though it is legal pandoc. But we believe that in nearly all cases, it will be an accidental (and unwelcome) result
-
HTML reader:
- Fixed some bad regressions in HTML table parser (#3280). This regression leads to the introduction of empty rows in some circumstances.
- Understand
style=width:
as well aswidth
incol
(#3286).
-
RST reader:
-
Print warnings when keys, substitition, notes not found. Previously the parsers failed and we got raw text. Now we get a link with an empty URL, or empty inlines in the case of a note or substitution.
-
Fix hyperlink aliases (#3283).
-
-
Man writer: Ensure that periods are escaped at beginning of line (#3270).
-
LaTeX writer: Fix unnumbered headers when used with
--top-level
(#3272, Albert Krewinkel). Fix interaction of top-level divisionspart
orchapter
with unnumbered headers when emitting LaTeX. Headers are ensured to be written using stared commands (like\subsection*{}
). -
LaTeX template: use comma not semicolon to separate keywords for
pdfkeywords
. Thanks to Wandmalfarbe. -
Markdown writer: Fixed incorrect word wrapping (#3277). Previously pandoc would sometimes wrap lines too early due to this bug.
-
Text.Pandoc.Pretty: Added
afterBreak
[API change]. This makes it possible to insert escape codes for content that needs escaping at the beginning of a line. -
Removed old MathMLInHTML.js from 2004, which should no longer be needed for MathML with modern browsers.
-
Fixed tests with dynamic linking (#2709).
-
Makefile: Use stack instead of cabal for targets. This is just a convenience for developers.
-
Fixed bash completion of filenames with space (#2749).
-
MANUAL: improved documentation on how to create a custom
reference.docx
. -
Fix minor spelling typos in the manual (#3273, Anthony Geoghegan)
pandoc 1.19 (2016-12-01)
-
Changed resolution of filter paths.
- We now first treat the argument of
--filter
as a full (absolute or relative) path, looking for a program there. If it’s found, we run it. - If not, and if it is a simple program name or a relative path, we
try resolving it relative to
$DATADIR/filters
. - If this fails, then we treat it as a program name and look in the user’s PATH.
- Removed a hardcoded ‘/’ that may have caused problems with Windows paths.
Previously if you did
--filter foo
and you hadfoo
in your path and also an executablefoo
in your working directory, the one in the path would be used. Now the one in the working directory is used.In addition, when you do
--filter foo/bar.hs
, pandoc will now find a filter$DATADIR/filters/foo/bar.hs
– assuming there isn’t afoo/bar.hs
relative to the working directory. - We now first treat the argument of
-
Allow
file://
URIs as arguments (#3196). Also improved default reader format detection. Previously with a URI ending in .md or .markdown, pandoc would assume HTML input. Now it treats these as markdown. -
Allow to overwrite top-level division type heuristics (#3258, Albert Krewinkel). Pandoc uses heuristics to determine the most reasonable top-level division type when emitting LaTeX or Docbook markup. It is now possible to overwrite this implicitly set top-level division via the
top-level-division
command line parameter. -
Text.Pandoc.Options [API changes]:
- Removed
writerStandalone
field inWriterOptions
, madewriterTemplate
aMaybe
value. Previously settingwriterStandalone = True
did nothing unless a template was provided in writerTemplate. Now a fragment will be generated ifwriterTemplate
isNothing
; otherwise, the specified template will be used and standalone output generated. Division
has been renamedTopLevelDivision
(#3197). TheSection
,Chapter
, andPart
constructors were renamed toTopLevelSection
,TopLevelChapter
, andTopLevelPart
, respectively. An additionalTopLevelDefault
constructor was added, which is now also the new default value of thewriterTopLevelDivision
field inWriterOptions
.
- Removed
-
Improved error if they give wrong arg to
--top-level-division
. -
Use new module from texmath to lookup MS font codepoints in Docx reader. Removed unexported module Text.Pandoc.Readers.Docx.Fonts. Its code now lives in texmath (0.9).
-
DocBook reader: Fixed xref lookup (#3243). It previously only worked when the qnames lacked the docbook namespace URI.
-
HTML reader:
- Improved table parsing (#3027). We now check explicitly for non-1 rowspan or colspan attributes, and fail when we encounter them. Previously we checked that each row had the same number of cells, but that could be true even with rowspans/colspans. And there are cases where it isn’t true in tables that we can handle fine – e.g. when a tr element is empty. So now we just pad rows with empty cells when needed.
- Treat
<math>
as MathML by default unless something else is explicitly specified in xmlns. Provided it parses as MathML, of course. Also fixed default which should be to inline math if no display attribute is used. - Only treat “a” element as link if it has href (#3226). Otherwise treat as span.
-
Docx reader (Jesse Rosenthal):
- Add a placeholder value for CHART. We wrap
[CHART]
in a<span class="chart">
. Note that it maps to inlines because, in docx, anything in a drawing tag can be part of a larger paragraph. - Be more specific in parsing images We not only want
w:drawing
, because that could also include charts. Now we specifyw:drawing/pic:pic
. This shouldn’t change behavior at all, but it’s a first step toward allowing other sorts of drawing data as well. - Abstract out function to avoid code repetition.
- Update tests for img title and alt (#3204).
- Handle Alt text and titles in images. We use the “description” field as alt text and the “title” field as title. These can be accessed through the “Format Picture” dialog in Word.
- Docx reader utils: handle empty namespace in
elemName
. Previously, if given an empty namespace(elemName ns "" "foo")
elemName
would output a QName with aJust ""
namespace. This is never what we want. Now we output aNothing
. If someone does want aJust ""
in the namespace, they can enter the QName value explicitly.
- Add a placeholder value for CHART. We wrap
-
ODT reader/writer:
-
Inline code when text has a special style (Hubert Plociniczak). When a piece of text has a text
Source_Text
then we assume that this is a piece of the document that represents a code that needs to be inlined. Adapted the writer to also reflect that change. Previously it was just writing a ‘preformatted’ text using a non-distinguishable font style. Code blocks are still not recognized by the ODT reader. That’s a separate issue. -
Infer table’s caption from the paragraph (#3224, Hubert Plociniczak). ODT’s reader always put empty captions for the parsed tables. This commit
- checks paragraphs that follow the table definition
- treats specially a paragraph with a style named ‘Table’
- does some postprocessing of the paragraphs that combines tables followed immediately by captions
The ODT writer used the
TableCaption
style for the caption paragraph. This commit follows the OpenOffice approach which allows for appending captions to table but uses a built-in style namedTable
instead ofTableCaption
. Users of a customreference.odt
should change the style’s name fromTableCaption
toTable
.
-
-
ODT reader: Infer tables’ header props from rows (#3199, Hubert Plociniczak). ODT reader simply provided an empty header list which meant that the contents of the whole table, even if not empty, was simply ignored. While we still do not infer headers we at least have to provide default properties of columns.
-
Markdown reader:
-
Allow reference link labels starting with
@...
ifcitations
extension disabled (#3209). Example: in\[link text\]\[@a\]
link text
isn’t hyperlinked because[@a]
is parsed as a citation. Previously this happened whether or not thecitations
extension was enabled. Now it happens only if thecitations
extension is enabled. -
Allow alignments to be specified in Markdown grid tables. For example,
+-------+---------------+--------------------+ | Right | Left | Centered | +=========:+:=================+:=============:+ | Bananas | $1.34 | built-in wrapper | +-------+---------------+--------------------+
-
Allow Small Caps elements to be created using bracketed spans (as they already can be using HTML-syntax spans) (#3191, Kolen Cheung).
-
-
LaTeX reader:
- Don’t treat
\vspace
and\hspace
as block commands (#3256). Fixed an error which came up, for example, with\vspace
inside a caption. (Captions expect inlines.) - Improved table handling. We can now parse all of the tables emitted by pandoc in our tests. The only thing we don’t get yet are alignments and column widths in more complex tables. See #2669.
- Limited support for minipage.
- Allow for
[]
s inside LaTeX optional args. Fixes cases like: - Handle BVerbatim from fancyvrb (#3203).
- Handle hungarumlaut (#3201).
- Allow beamer-style
<...>
options in raw LaTeX (also in Markdown) (#3184). This allows use of things like\only<2,3>{my content}
in Markdown that is going to be converted to beamer.
- Don’t treat
-
Use pre-wrap for code in dzslides template (Nicolas Porcel). Otherwise overly long code will appear on every slide.
-
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel):
-
Respect column width settings (#3246). Table column properties can optionally specify a column’s width with which it is displayed in the buffer. Some exporters, notably the ODT exporter in org-mode v9.0, use these values to calculate relative column widths. The org reader now implements the same behavior. Note that the org-mode LaTeX and HTML exporters in Emacs don’t support this feature yet, which should be kept in mind by users who use the column widths parameters.
-
Allow HTML attribs on non-figure images (#3222). Images which are the only element in a paragraph can still be given HTML attributes, even if the image does not have a caption and is hence not a figure. The following will add set the
width
attribute of the image to50%
:+ATTR\_HTML: :width 50% ======================= \[\[file:image.jpg\]\]
-
Support
ATTR_HTML
for special blocks (#3182). Special blocks (i.e. blocks with unrecognized names) can be prefixed with anATTR_HTML
block attribute. The attributes defined in that meta-directive are added to theDiv
which is used to represent the special block. -
Support the
todo
export option. Thetodo
export option allows to toggle the inclusion of TODO keywords in the output. Setting this tonil
causes TODO keywords to be dropped from headlines. The default is to include the keywords. -
Add support for todo-markers. Headlines can have optional todo-markers which can be controlled via the
#+TODO
,#+SEQ_TODO
, or#+TYP_TODO
meta directive. Multiple such directives can be given, each adding a new set of recognized todo-markers. If no custom todo-markers are defined, the defaultTODO
andDONE
markers are used. Todo-markers are conceptually separate from headline text and are hence excluded when autogenerating headline IDs. The markers are rendered as spans and labelled with two classes: One class is the markers name, the other signals the todo-state of the marker (eithertodo
ordone
).
-
-
LaTeX writer:
- Use
\autocites*
when “suppress-author” citation used. - Ensure that simple tables have simple cells (#2666). If cells contain more than a single Plain or Para, then we need to set nonzero widths and put contents into minipages.
- Remove invalid inlines in sections (#3218, Hubert Plociniczak).
- Use
-
Markdown writer:
- Fix calculation of column widths for aligned multiline tables
(#1911, Björn Peemöller). This also fixes excessive CPU and memory
usage for tables when
--columns
is set in such a way that cells must be very tiny. Now cells are guaranteed to be big enough so that single words don’t need to line break, even if this pushes the line length above the column width. - Use bracketed form for native spans when
bracketed_spans
enabled (#3229). - Fixed inconsistent spacing issue (#3232). Previously a tight bullet sublist got rendered with a blank line after, while a tight ordered sublist did not. Now we don’t get the blank line in either case.
- Fix escaping of spaces in super/subscript (#3225). Previously two backslashes were inserted, which gave a literal backslash.
- Adjust widths in Markdown grid tables so that they match on round-trip.
- Fix calculation of column widths for aligned multiline tables
(#1911, Björn Peemöller). This also fixes excessive CPU and memory
usage for tables when
-
Docx writer:
- Give full detail when there are errors converting tex math.
- Handle title text in images (Jesse Rosenthal). We already handled alt text. This just puts the image “title” into the docx “title” attr.
- Fixed XML markup for empty cells (#3238). Previously the Compact style wasn’t being applied properly to empty cells.
-
HTML writer:
- Updated
renderHtml
import from blaze-html.
- Updated
-
Text.Pandoc.Pretty:
- Fixed some bugs that caused blank lines in tables (#3251). The bugs
caused spurious blank lines in grid tables when we had things like
blankline $$ blankline
. - Add exported function
minOffet
[API change] (Björn Peemöller). - Added error message for illegal call to
block
(Björn Peemöller).
- Fixed some bugs that caused blank lines in tables (#3251). The bugs
caused spurious blank lines in grid tables when we had things like
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared:
- Put
warn
in MonadIO. fetchItem
: Better handling of protocol-relative URL (#2635). If URL starts with//
and there is no “base URL” (as there would be if a URL were used on the command line), then default to http:.
- Put
-
Export Text.Pandoc.getDefaultExtensions [API change] (#3178).
-
In –version, trap error in
getAppUserDataDirectory
(#3241). This fixes a crash withpandoc --version
on unusual systems with no real user (e.g. SQL Server 2016). -
Added weigh-pandoc for memory usage diagnostics (#3169).
-
Use correct mime types for woff and woff2 (#3228).
-
Remove make_travis_yml.hs (#3235, Kolen Cheung).
-
changelog: Moved an item that was misplaced in the 1.17.2 section to the 1.18 section where it belongs.
-
CONTRIBUTING.md: minor change in wording and punctuation (#3252, Kolen Cheung).

Further revisions to manual for
--version
changes (#3244).
pandoc 1.18 (2016-10-26)
-
Added
--list-input-formats
,--list-output-formats
,--list-extensions
,--list-highlight-languages
, and--list-highlight-styles
(#3173). Removed list of highlighting languages from--version
output. Removed list of input and output formats from default--help
output. -
Added
--reference-location=block|section|document
option (Jesse Rosenthal). This determines whether Markdown link references and footnotes are placed at the end of the document, the end of the section, or the end of the top-level block. -
Added
--top-level-division=section|chapter|part
(Albert Krewinkel). This determines what a level-1 header corresponds to in LaTeX, ConTeXt, DocBook, and TEI output. The default issection
. The--chapters
option has been deprecated in favor of--top-level-division=chapter
. -
Added
LineBlock
constructor forBlock
(Albert Krewinkel). This is now used in parsing RST and Markdown line blocks, DocBooklinegroup
/line
combinations, and Org-modeVERSE
blocks. PreviouslyPara
blocks with hard linebreaks were used.LineBlock
s are handled specially in the following output formats: AsciiDoc (as[verse]
blocks), ConTeXt (\startlines
/\endlines
), HTML (div
with a style), Markdown (line blocks ifline_blocks
is enabled), Org-mode (VERSE
blocks), RST (line blocks). In other output formats, a paragraph with hard linebreaks is emitted. -
Allow binary formats to be written to stdout (but not to tty) (#2677). Only works on posix, since we use the unix library to check whether output is to tty. On Windows, pandoc works as before and always requires an output file parameter for binary formats.
-
Changed JSON output format (Jesse Rosenthal). Previously we used generically generated JSON, but this was subject to change depending on the version of aeson pandoc was compiled with. To ensure stability, we switched to using manually written ToJSON and FromJSON instances, and encoding the API version. Note: pandoc filter libraries will need to be revised to handle the format change. Here is a summary of the essential changes:
- The toplevel JSON format is now
{"pandoc-api-version" : [MAJ, MIN, REV], "meta" : META, "blocks": BLOCKS}
instead of[{"unMeta": META}, [BLOCKS]]
. Decoding fails if the major and minor version numbers don’t match. - Leaf nodes no longer have an empty array for their “c” value.
Thus, for example, a
Space
is encoded as{"t":"Space"}
rather than{"t":"Space","c":[]}
as before.
- The toplevel JSON format is now
-
Removed
tests/Tests/Arbitrary.hs
and added aText.Pandoc.Arbitrary
module to pandoc-types (Jesse Rosenthal). This makes it easier to use QuickCheck with pandoc types outside of pandoc itself. -
Add
bracketed_spans
Markdown extension, enabled by default in pandocmarkdown
. This allows you to create a native span using this syntax:[Here is my span]{#id .class key="val"}
. -
Added
angle_brackets_escapable
Markdown extension (#2846). This is needed because github flavored Markdown has a slightly different set of escapable symbols than original Markdown; it includes angle brackets. -
Export
Text.Pandoc.Error
inText.Pandoc
[API change]. -
Print highlighting-kate version in
--version
. -
Text.Pandoc.Options
:Extension
has new constructorsExt_brackted_spans
andExt_angle_brackets_escapable
[API change].- Added
ReferenceLocation
type [API change] (Jesse Rosenthal). - Added
writerReferenceLocation
field toWriterOptions
(Jesse Rosenthal).
-
--filter
: we now check$DATADIR/filters
for filters before looking in the path (#3127, Jesse Rosenthal, thanks to Jakob Voß for the idea). Filters placed in this directory need not be executable; if the extension is.hs
,.php
,.pl
,.js
, or.rb
, pandoc will run the right interpreter. -
For
--webtex
, replace deprecated Google Chart API by CodeCogs as default (Kolen Cheung). -
Removed
raw_tex
extension frommarkdown_mmd
defaults (Kolen Cheung). -
Execute .js filters with node (Jakob Voß).
-
Textile reader:
- Support
bc..
extended code blocks (#3037). Also, remove trailing newline in code blocks (consistently with Markdown reader). - Improve table parsing. We now handle cell and row attributes, mostly by skipping them. However, alignments are now handled properly. Since in pandoc alignment is per-column, not per-cell, we try to devine column alignments from cell alignments. Table captions are also now parsed, and textile indicators for thead and tfoot no longer cause parse failure. (However, a row designated as tfoot will just be a regular row in pandoc.)
- Improve definition list parsing. We now allow multiple terms (which we concatenate with linebreaks). An exponential parsing bug (#3020) is also fixed.
- Disallow empty URL in explicit link (#3036).
- Support
-
RST reader:
- Use Div instead of BlockQuote for admonitions (#3031).
The Div has class
admonition
and (if relevant) one of the following:attention
,caution
,danger
,error
,hint
,important
,note
,tip
,warning
. Note: This will change the rendering of some RST documents! The word (“Warning”, “Attention”, etc.) is no longer added; that must be done with CSS or a filter. - A Div is now used for
sidebar
as well. - Skip whitespace before note (Jesse Rosenthal, #3163). RST requires a space before a footnote marker. We discard those spaces so that footnotes will be adjacent to the text that comes before it. This is in line with what rst2latex does.
- Allow empty lines when parsing line blocks (Albert Krewinkel).
- Use Div instead of BlockQuote for admonitions (#3031).
The Div has class
-
Markdown reader:
- Allow empty lines when parsing line blocks (Albert Krewinkel).
- Allow attributes on autolinks (#3183, Daniele D’Orazio).
-
LaTeX reader:
- More robust parsing of unknown environments (#3026).
We no longer fail on things like
^
inside options for tikz. - Be more forgiving of non-standard characters, e.g.
^
outside of math. Some custom environments give these a meaning, so we should try not to fall over when we encounter them. - Drop duplicate
*
in bibtexKeyChars (Albert Krewinkel)
- More robust parsing of unknown environments (#3026).
We no longer fail on things like
-
MediaWiki reader:
- Fix for unquoted attribute values in mediawiki tables (#3053). Previously an unquoted attribute value in a table row could cause parsing problems.
- Improved treatment of verbatim constructions (#3055). Previously these yielded strings of alternating Code and Space elements; we now incorporate the spaces into the Code. Emphasis etc. is still possible inside these.
- Properly interpret XML tags in pre environments (#3042). They are meant to be interpreted as literal text.
-
EPUB reader: don’t add root path to data: URIs (#3150). Thanks to @lep for the bug report and patch.
-
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel):
- Preserve indentation of verse lines (#3064). Leading spaces in verse lines are converted to non-breaking spaces, so indentation is preserved.
- Ensure image sources are proper links. Image sources as those in plain
images, image links, or figures, must be proper URIs or relative file
paths to be recognized as images. This restriction is now enforced
for all image sources. This also fixes the reader’s usage of uncleaned
image sources, leading to
file:
prefixes not being deleted from figure images. Thanks to @bsag for noticing this bug. - Trim verse lines properly (Albert Krewinkel).
- Extract meta parsing code to module. Parsing of meta-data is well separable from other block parsing tasks. Moving into new module to get small files and clearly arranged code.
- Read markup only for special meta keys. Most meta-keys should be read as normal string values, only a few are interpreted as marked-up text.
- Allow multiple, comma-separated authors. Multiple authors can be
specified in the
#+AUTHOR
meta line if they are given as a comma-separated list. - Give precedence to later meta lines. The last meta-line of any given type is the significant line. Previously the value of the first line was kept, even if more lines of the same type were encountered.
- Read LaTeX_header as header-includes. LaTeX-specific header commands
can be defined in
#+LaTeX_header
lines. They are parsed as format-specific inlines to ensure that they will only show up in LaTeX output. - Set documentclass meta from LaTeX_class.
- Set classoption meta from LaTeX_class_options.
- Read HTML_head as header-includes. HTML-specific head content can be
defined in
#+HTML_head
lines. They are parsed as format-specific inlines to ensure that they will only show up in HTML output. - Respect
author
export option. Theauthor
option controls whether the author should be included in the final markup. Setting#+OPTIONS: author:nil
will drop the author from the final meta-data output. - Respect
email
export option. Theemail
option controls whether the email meta-field should be included in the final markup. Setting#+OPTIONS: email:nil
will drop the email field from the final meta-data output. - Respect
creator
export option. Thecreator
option controls whether the creator meta-field should be included in the final markup. Setting#+OPTIONS: creator:nil
will drop the creator field from the final meta-data output. Org-mode recognizes the special valuecomment
for this field, causing the creator to be included in a comment. This is difficult to translate to Pandoc internals and is hence interpreted the same as other truish values (i.e. the meta field is kept if it’s present). - Respect unnumbered header property (#3095). Sections the
unnumbered
property should, as the name implies, be excluded from the automatic numbering of section provided by some output formats. The Pandoc convention for this is to add an “unnumbered” class to the header. The reader treats properties as key-value pairs per default, so a special case is added to translate the above property to a class instead. - Allow figure with empty caption (Albert Krewinkel, #3161).
A
#+CAPTION
attribute before an image is enough to turn an image into a figure. This wasn’t the case because theparseFromString
function, which processes the caption value, would fail on empty values. Adding a newline character to the caption value fixes this.
-
Docx reader:
- Use XML convenience functions (Jesse Rosenthal).
The functions
isElem
andelemName
(defined in Docx/Util.hs) make the code a lot cleaner than the original XML.Light functions, but they had been used inconsistently. This puts them in wherever applicable. - Handle anchor spans with content in headers. Previously, we would only be able to figure out internal links to a header in a docx if the anchor span was empty. We change that to read the inlines out of the first anchor span in a header.
- Let headers use existing id. Previously we always generated an id for headers (since they wouldn’t bring one from Docx). Now we let it use an existing one if possible. This should allow us to recurs through anchor spans.
- Use all anchor spans for header ids. Previously we only used the first anchor span to affect header ids. This allows us to use all the anchor spans in a header, whether they’re nested or not (#3088).
- Test for nested anchor spans in header. This ensures that anchor spans in header with content (or with other anchor spans inside) will resolve to links to a header id properly.
- Use XML convenience functions (Jesse Rosenthal).
The functions
-
ODT reader (Hubert Plociniczak)
- Include list’s starting value. Previously the starting value of the lists’ items has been hardcoded to 1. In reality ODT’s list style definition can provide a new starting value in one of its attributes.
- Infer caption from the text following the image. Frame can contain other frames with the text boxes.
- Add
fig:
to title for Image with a caption (as expected by pandoc’s writers). - Basic support for images in ODT documents.
- Don’t duplicate text for anchors (#3143). When creating an anchor element we were adding its representation as well as the original content, leading to text duplication.
-
DocBook writer:
- Include an anchor element when a div or span has an id (#3102). Note that DocBook does not have a class attribute, but at least this provides an anchor for internal links.
-
LaTeX writer:
- Don’t use * for unnumbered paragraph, subparagraph. The starred
variants don’t exist. This helps with part of #3058…it gets rid of
the spurious
*
s. But we still have numbers on the 4th and 5th level headers. - Properly escape backticks in verbatim (#3121, Jesse Rosenthal).
Otherwise they can cause unintended ligatures like
?`
. - Handle NARRAOW NO-BREAK SPACE into LaTeX (Vaclav Zeman) as
\,
. - Don’t include
[htbp]
placement for figures (#3103, Václav Haisman). This allows figure placement defaults to be changed by the user in the template.
- Don’t use * for unnumbered paragraph, subparagraph. The starred
variants don’t exist. This helps with part of #3058…it gets rid of
the spurious
-
TEI writer: remove heuristic to detect book template (Albert Krewinkel). TEI doesn’t have
<book>
elements but only generic<divN>
division elements. Checking the template for a trailing</book>
is nonsensical. -
MediaWiki writer: transform filename with underscores in images (#3052).
foo bar.jpg
becomesfoo_bar.jpg
. This was already done for internal links, but it also needs to happen for images. -
ICML writer: replace partial function (!!) in table handling (#3175, Mauro Bieg).
-
Man writer: allow section numbers that are not a single digit (#3089).
-
AsciiDoc writer: avoid unnecessary use of “unconstrained” emphasis (#3068). In AsciiDoc, you must use a special form of emphasis (double
__
) for intraword emphasis. Pandoc was previously using this more than necessary. -
EPUB writer: use stringify instead of plain writer for metadata (#3066). This means that underscores won’t be used for emphasis, or CAPS for bold. The metadata fields will just have unadorned text.
-
Docx Writer:
- Implement user-defined styles (Jesse Rosenthal). Divs and Spans
with a
custom-style
key in the attributes will apply the corresponding key to the contained blocks or inlines. - Add ReaderT env to the docx writer (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Clean up and streamline RTL behavior (Jesse Rosenthal, #3140).
You can set
dir: rtl
in YAML metadata, or use-M dir=rtl
on the command line. For finer-grained control, you can set thedir
attribute in Div or Span elements.
- Implement user-defined styles (Jesse Rosenthal). Divs and Spans
with a
-
Org writer (Albert Krewinkel):
- Remove blank line after figure caption. Org-mode only treats an image as a figure if it is directly preceded by a caption.
- Ensure blank line after figure. An Org-mode figure should be surrounded by blank lines. The figure would be recognized regardless, but images in the following line would unintentionally be treated as figures as well.
- Ensure link targets are paths or URLs. Org-mode treats links as document internal searches unless the link target looks like a URL or file path, either relative or absolute. This change ensures that this is always the case.
- Translate language identifiers. Pandoc and Org-mode use different programming language identifiers. An additional translation between those identifiers is added to avoid unexpected behavior. This fixes a problem where language specific source code would sometimes be output as example code.
- Drop space before footnote markers (Albert Krewinkel, #3162). The writer no longer adds an extra space before footnote markers.
-
Markdown writer:
- Don’t emit HTML for tables unless
raw_html
extension is set (#3154). Emit[TABLE]
if no suitable table formats are enabled and raw HTML is disabled. - Check for the
raw_html
extension before emitting a raw HTML block. - Abstract out note/ref function (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Add ReaderT monad for environment variables (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Don’t emit HTML for tables unless
-
HTML, EPUB, slidy, revealjs templates: Use
<p>
instead of<h1>
for subtitle, author, date (#3119). Note that, as a result of this change, authors may need to update CSS. -
revealjs template: Added
notes-server
option (jgm/pandoc-templates#212, Yoan Blanc). -
Beamer template:
- Restore whitespace between paragraphs. This was a regression in the last release (jgm/pandoc-templates#207).
- Added
themeoptions
variable (Carsten Gips). - Added
beamerarticle
variable. This causes thebeamerarticle
package to be loaded in beamer, to produce an article from beamer slides. (Carsten Gips) - Added support for
fontfamilies
structured variable (Artem Klevtsov). - Added hypersetup options (Jake Zimmerman).
-
LaTeX template:
- Added dummy definition for
\institute
. This isn’t a standard command, and we want to avoid a crash wheninstitute
is used with the default template. - Define default figure placement (Václav Haisman), since pandoc
no longer includes
[htbp]
for figures. Users with custom templates will want to add this. See #3103. - Use footnote package to fix notes in tables (jgm/pandoc-templates#208, Václav Haisman).
- Added dummy definition for
-
Moved template compiling/rendering code to a separate library.
doctemplates
. This allows the pandoc templating system to be used independently. -
Text.Pandoc.Error: Fix out of index error in
handleError
(Matthew Pickering). The fix is to not try to show the exact line when it would cause an out-of-bounds error as a result of included files. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared: Add
linesToBlock
function (Albert Krewinkel). -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing.emailAddress: tighten up parsing of email addresses. Technically
**@user
is a valid email address, but if we allow things like this, we get bad results in markdown flavors that autolink raw email addresses (see #2940). So we exclude a few valid email addresses in order to avoid these more common bad cases. -
Text.Pandoc.PDF: Don’t crash with nonexistent image (#3100). Instead, emit the alt text, emphasized. This accords with what the ODT writer currently does. The user will still get a warning about a nonexistent image.
-
Fix example in API documentation (#3176, Thomas Weißschuh).
-
Tell where to get tarball in INSTALL (#3062).
-
Rename README to MANUAL.txt and add GitHub-friendly README.md (Albert Krewinkel, Kolen Cheung).

Replace COPYING with Markdown version COPYING.md from GNU (Kolen Cheung).
-
MANUAL.txt:
- Put note on structured vars in separate paragraph (#2148, Albert Krewinkel). Make it clearer that structured author variables require a custom template
- Note that
--katex
works best withhtml5
(#3077). - Fix the LaTeX and EPUB links in manual (Morton Fox).
- Document
biblio-title

Update KaTeX to v0.6.0 (Kolen Cheung).
-
Allow latest dependencies.
-
Use texmath 0.8.6.6 (#3040).
-
Allow http-client 0.4.30, which is the version in stackage lts. Previously we required 0.5. Remove CPP conditionals for earlier versions.

Remove support for GHC < 7.8 (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Remove Compat.Monoid.
- Remove an inline monad compatibility macro.
- Remove Text.Pandoc.Compat.Except.
- Remove directory compat.
- Change constraint on mtl.
- Remove unnecessary CPP condition in UTF8.
- Bump base lower bound to 4.7.
- Remove 7.6 build from .travis.yaml.
- Bump supported ghc version in CONTRIBUTING.md.
- Add note about GHC version support to INSTALL.
- Remove GHC 7.6 from list of tested versions (Albert Krewinkel).
- Remove TagSoup compat.
- Add EOL note to time compat module. Because time 1.4 is a boot library for GHC 7.8, we will support the compatibility module as long as we support 7.8. But we should be clear about when we will no longer need it.
- Remove blaze-html CPP conditional.
- Remove unnecessary CPP in custom Prelude.
pandoc 1.17.2 (2016-07-17)

Added Zim Wiki writer, template and tests.
zimwiki

-
Docbook writer: Declare xlink namespace in Docbook5 output (Ivo Clarysse).
-
Org writer:
- Support arbitrary raw inlines (Albert Krewinkel).
Org mode allows arbitrary raw inlines (“export snippets” in Emacs
parlance) to be included as
@@format:raw foreign format text@@
. - Improve Div handling (Albert Krewinkel). Div blocks handling is
changed to make the output look more like idiomatic org mode:
- Div-wrapped content is output as-is if the div’s attribute is the null attribute.
- Div containers with an id but neither classes nor key-value pairs are unwrapped and the id is added as an anchor.
- Divs with classes associated with greater block elements are
wrapped in a
#+BEGIN
…#+END
block. - The old behavior for Divs with more complex attributes is kept.
- Support arbitrary raw inlines (Albert Krewinkel).
Org mode allows arbitrary raw inlines (“export snippets” in Emacs
parlance) to be included as
-
HTML writer: Better support for raw LaTeX environments (#2758). Previously we just passed all raw TeX through when MathJax was used for HTML math. This passed through too much. With this patch, only raw LaTeX environments that MathJax can handle get passed through. This patch also causes raw LaTeX environments to be treated as math, when possible, with MathML and WebTeX output.
-
Markdown writer: use raw HTML for simple, pipe tables with linebreaks (#2993). Markdown line breaks involve a newline, and simple and pipe tables can’t contain one.
-
Make –webtex work with the Markdown writer (#1177). This is a convenient option for people using websites whose Markdown flavors don’t provide for math.
-
Docx writer:
- Set paragraph to FirstPara after display math (Jesse Rosenthal). We treat display math like block quotes, and apply FirstParagraph style to paragraphs that follow them. These can be styled as the user wishes. (But, when the user is using indentation, this allows for paragraphs to continue after display math without indentation.)
- Use actual creation time as doc prop (Jesse Rosenthal). Previously, we had used the user-supplied date, if available, for Word’s document creation metadata. This could lead to weird results, as in cases where the user post-dates a document (so the modification might be prior to the creation). Here we use the actual computer time to set the document creation.
-
LaTeX writer:
- Don’t URI-escape image source (#2825). Usually this is a local file,
and replacing spaces with
%20
ruins things. - Allow ‘standout’ as a beamer frame option (#3007).
## Slide title {.standout}
.
- Don’t URI-escape image source (#2825). Usually this is a local file,
and replacing spaces with
-
RST reader: Fixed links with no explicit link text. The link
`<foo>`_
should havefoo
as both its link text and its URL. See RST spec at http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#embedded-uris-and-aliases Closes Debian #828167 – reported by Christian Heller. -
Textile reader:
- Fixed attributes (#2984). Attributes can’t be followed by
a space. So,
_(class)emph_
but_(noclass) emph_
. - Fixed exponential parsing bug (#3020).
- Fix overly aggressive interpretation as images (#2998). Spaces are not allowed in the image URL in textile.
- Fixed attributes (#2984). Attributes can’t be followed by
a space. So,
-
LaTeX reader:
- Fix
\cite
so it is a NormalCitation not AuthorInText. - Strip off double quotes around image source if present (#2825). Avoids interpreting these as part of the literal filename.
- Fix
-
Org reader:
- Add semicolon to list of special chars (Albert Krewinkel)
Semicolons are used as special characters in citations syntax. This
ensures the correct parsing of Pandoc-style citations:
[prefix; @key; suffix]
. Previously, parsing would have failed unless there was a space or other special character as the last character. - Add support for “Berkeley-style” cites (Albert Krewinkel, #1978). A specification for an official Org-mode citation syntax was drafted by Richard Lawrence and enhanced with the help of others on the orgmode mailing list. Basic support for this citation style is added to the reader.
- Support arbitrary raw inlines (Albert Krewinkel).
Org mode allows arbitrary raw inlines (“export snippets” in Emacs
parlance) to be included as
@@format:raw foreign format text@@
. - Remove partial functions (Albert Krewinkel, #2991).
Partial functions like
head
lead to avoidable errors and should be avoided. They are replaced with total functions. - Support figure labels (Albert Krewinkel, #2496, #2999).
Figure labels given as
#+LABEL: thelabel
are used as the ID of the respective image. This allows e.g. the LaTeX to add proper\label
markup. - Improve tag and properties type safety (Albert Krewinkel). Specific newtype definitions are used to replace stringly typing of tags and properties. Type safety is increased while readability is improved.
- Parse as headlines, convert to blocks (Albert Krewinkel). Emacs org-mode is based on outline-mode, which treats documents as trees with headlines are nodes. The reader is refactored to parse into a similar tree structure. This simplifies transformations acting on document (sub-)trees.
- Refactor comment tree handling (Albert Krewinkel). Comment trees were handled after parsing, as pattern matching on lists is easier than matching on sequences. The new method of reading documents as trees allows for more elegant subtree removal.
- Support archived trees export options (Albert Krewinkel).
Handling of archived trees can be modified using the
arch
option. Archived trees are either dropped, exported completely, or collapsed to include just the header when thearch
option is nil, non-nil, orheadline
, respectively. - Put export setting parser into module (Albert Krewinkel). Export option parsing is distinct enough from general block parsing to justify putting it into a separate module.
- Support headline levels export setting (Albert Krewinkel).
The depths of headlines can be modified using the
H
option. Deeper headlines will be converted to lists. - Replace ugly code with view pattern (Albert Krewinkel). Some less-than-smart code required a pragma switching of overlapping pattern warnings in order to compile seamlessly. Using view patterns makes the code easier to read and also doesn’t require overlapping pattern checks to be disabled.
- Fix parsing of verbatim inlines (Albert Krewinkel, #3016).
Org rules for allowed characters before or after markup chars were not
checked for verbatim text. This resultet in wrong parsing outcomes of
if the verbatim text contained e.g. space enclosed markup characters as
part of the text (
=is_substr = True=
). Forcing the parser to update the positions of allowed/forbidden markup border characters fixes this.
- Add semicolon to list of special chars (Albert Krewinkel)
Semicolons are used as special characters in citations syntax. This
ensures the correct parsing of Pandoc-style citations:
-
LaTeX template: fix for obscure hyperref/xelatex issue. Here’s a minimal case:
\documentclass[]{article} \usepackage{hyperref} \begin{document} \section{\%á} \end{document}
Without this change, this fails on the second invocation of xelatex. This affects inputs this like
# %á
with pdf output via xelatex. -
trypandoc: call results ‘html’ instead of ‘result’. This is for better compatibility with babelmark2.
-
Document MultiMarkdown as input/output format (Albert Krewinkel, #2973). MultiMarkdown was only mentioned as a supported Markdown dialect but not as a possible input or output format. A brief mention is added everywhere the other supported markdown dialects are mentioned.
-
Document Org mode as a format containing raw HTML (Albert Krewinkel) Raw HTML is kept when the output format is Emacs Org mode.
-
Implement
RawInline
andRawBlock
in sample lua custom writer (#2985). -
Text.Pandoc.Shared:
- Introduce blocksToInlines function (Jesse Rosenthal).
This is a lossy function for converting
[Block] -> [Inline]
. Its main use, at the moment, is for docx comments, which can contain arbitrary blocks (except for footnotes), but which will be converted to spans. This is, at the moment, pretty useless for everything but the basicPara
andPlain
comments. It can be improved, but the docx reader should probably emit a warning if the comment contains more than this. - Add BlockQuote to blocksToInlines (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Add further formats for
normalizeDate
(Jesse Rosenthal). We want to avoid illegal dates – in particular years with greater than four digits. We attempt to parse series of digits first as%Y%m%d
, then%Y%m
, and finally%Y
. normalizeDate
should reject illegal years (Jesse Rosenthal). We only allow years between 1601 and 9999, inclusive. The ISO 8601 actually says that years are supposed to start with 1583, but MS Word only allows 1601-9999. This should stop corrupted word files if the date is out of that range, or is parsed incorrectly.- Improve year sanity check in normalizeDate (Jesse Rosenthal).
Previously we parsed a list of dates, took the first one, and then
tested its year range. That meant that if the first one failed, we
returned nothing, regardless of what the others did. Now we test for
sanity before running
msum
over the list of Maybe values. Anything failing the test will be Nothing, so will not be a candidate.
- Introduce blocksToInlines function (Jesse Rosenthal).
This is a lossy function for converting
-
Docx reader:
- Add simple comment functionality. (Jesse Rosenthal).
This adds simple track-changes comment parsing to the docx reader. It is
turned on with
--track-changes=all
. All comments are converted to inlines, which can list some information. In the future a warning will be added for comments with formatting that seems like it will be excessively denatured. Note that comments can extend across blocks. For that reason there are two spans:comment-start
andcomment-end
.comment-start
will contain the comment.comment-end
will always be empty. The two will be associated by a numeric id. - Enable warnings in top-level reader (Jesse Rosenthal).
Previously we had only allowed for warnings in the parser. Now we allow
for them in the
Docx.hs
as well. The warnings are simply concatenated. - Add warning for advanced comment formatting. (Jesse Rosenthal). We can’t guarantee we’ll convert every comment correctly, though we’ll do the best we can. This warns if the comment includes something other than Para or Plain.
- Add tests for warnings. (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Add tests for comments (Jesse Rosenthal).
We test for comments, using all track-changes options. Note that we
should only output comments if
--track-changes=all
. We also test for emitting warnings if there is complicated formatting.
- Add simple comment functionality. (Jesse Rosenthal).
This adds simple track-changes comment parsing to the docx reader. It is
turned on with
-
README: update to include track-changes comments. (Jesse Rosenthal)
-
Improved Windows installer - don’t ignore properties set on command-line. See #2708. Needs testing to see if this resolves the issue. Thanks to @nkalvi.
-
Process markdown extensions on command line in L->R order (#2995). Previously they were processed, very unintuitively, in R->L order, so that
markdown-tex_math_dollars+tex_math_dollars
hadtex_math_dollars
disabled. -
Added
secnumdepth
variable to LaTeX template (#2920). -
Include table of contents in README.html in Windows package.
-
Writers: treat SoftBreak as space for stripping (Jesse Rosenthal) In Writers.Shared, we strip leading and trailing spaces for display math. Since SoftBreak’s are treated as spaces, we should strip those too.
-
beamer, latex templates: pass biblatexoptions directly in package load. This allows runtime optinos to be used. Fixes jgm/pandoc-citeproc#201
-
CPP workaround for deprecation of
parseUrl
in http-client. -
Removed some redundant class constraints.
-
make_oxs_package.sh - use OSX env variable.
-
Added
winpkg
target to Makefile. This downloads the windows package from appveyor and signs it using the key. -
Document Org mode as a format containing raw TeX (Albert Krewinkel). Raw TeX is kept verbatim when the output format is Emacs Org mode.
-
Support math with haddock-library >= 1.4.
-
Removed
-rtsopts
from library stanza. It has no effect, and Hackage wouldn’t accept the package. -
Update library dependency versions.
pandoc 1.17.1 (2016-06-04)
-
New output format:
docbook5
(Ivo Clarysse). -
Text.Pandoc.Options
: AddwriterDocBook5
toWriterOptions
(API change). -
Org writer:
- Add :PROPERTIES: drawer support (Albert Krewinkel, #1962).
This allows header attributes to be added to org documents in the form
of
:PROPERTIES:
drawers. All available attributes are stored as key/value pairs. This reflects the way the org reader handles:PROPERTIES:
blocks. - Add drawer capability (Carlos Sosa). For the implementation of the
Drawer element in the Org Writer, we make use of a generic Block
container with attributes. The presence of a
drawer
class defines that theDiv
constructor is a drawer. The first class defines the drawer name to use. The key-value list in the attributes defines the keys to add inside the Drawer. Lastly, the list of Block elements contains miscellaneous blocks elements to add inside of the Drawer. - Use
CUSTOM_ID
in properties (Albert Krewinkel). TheID
property is reserved for internal use by Org-mode and should not be used. TheCUSTOM_ID
property is to be used instead, it is converted to theID
property for certain export format.
- Add :PROPERTIES: drawer support (Albert Krewinkel, #1962).
This allows header attributes to be added to org documents in the form
of
-
LaTeX writer:
- Ignore
--incremental
unless output format is beamer (#2843). - Fix polyglossia to babel env mapping (Mauro Bieg, #2728). Allow for optional argument in square brackets.
- Recognize
la-x-classic
as Classical Latin (Andrew Dunning). This allows one to access the hyphenation patterns in CTAN’s hyph-utf8. - Add missing languages from hyph-utf8 (Andrew Dunning).
- Improve use of
\strut
with\minipage
inside tables (Jose Luis Duran). This improves spacing in multiline tables. - Use
{}
around options containing special chars (#2892). - Avoid lazy
foldl
. - Don’t escape underscore in labels (#2921). Previously they were
escaped as
ux5f
. - brazilian -> brazil for polyglossia (#2953).
- Ignore

HTML writer: Ensure mathjax link is added when math appears in footnote (#2881). Previously if a document only had math in a footnote, the MathJax link would not be added.
-
EPUB writer: set
navpage
variable on nav page. This allows templates to treat it differently. -
DocBook writer:
- Use docbook5 if
writerDocbook5
is set (Ivo Clarysse). - Properly handle
ulink
/link
(Ivo Clarysse).
- Use docbook5 if
-
EPUB reader:
- Unescape URIs in spine (#2924).
- EPUB reader: normalise link id (Mauro Bieg).
-
Docx Reader:
- Parse
moveTo
andmoveFrom
(Jesse Rosenthal).moveTo
andmoveFrom
are track-changes tags that are used when a block of text is moved in the document. We now recognize these tags and treat them the same asinsert
anddelete
, respectively. So,--track-changes=accept
will show the moved version, while--track-changes=reject
will show the original version. - Tests for track-changes moving (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Parse
-
ODT, EPUB, Docx readers: throw
PandocError
on unzip failure (Jesse Rosenthal) Previously,readDocx
,readEPUB
, andreadOdt
would error out if zip-archive failed. We change the archive extraction step fromtoArchive
totoArchiveOrFail
, which returns an Either value. -
Markdown, HTML readers: be more forgiving about unescaped
&
in HTML (#2410). We are now more forgiving about parsing invalid HTML with unescaped&
as raw HTML. (Previously any unescaped&
would cause pandoc not to recognize the string as raw HTML.) -
Markdown reader:
- Fix pandoc title blocks with lines ending in 2 spaces (#2799).
- Added
-s
to markdown-reader-more test.
-
HTML reader: fixed bug in
pClose
. This caused exponential parsing behavior in documnets with unclosed tags indl
,dd
,dt
. -
MediaWiki reader: Allow spaces before
!
in MediaWiki table header (roblabla). -
RST reader: Support
:class:
option for code block in RST reader (Sidharth Kapur). -
Org reader (all Albert Krewinkel, except where noted otherwise):
- Stop padding short table rows. Emacs Org-mode doesn’t add any padding to table rows. The first row (header or first body row) is used to determine the column count, no other magic is performed.
- Refactor rows-to-table conversion. This refactors the codes conversing a list table lines to an org table ADT. The old code was simplified and is now slightly less ugly.
- Fix handling of empty table cells, rows (Albert Krewinkel, #2616).
This fixes Org mode parsing of some corner cases regarding empty cells
and rows. Empty cells weren’t parsed correctly, e.g.
|||
should be two empty cells, but would be parsed as a single cell containing a pipe character. Empty rows where parsed as alignment rows and dropped from the output. - Fix spacing after LaTeX-style symbols.
The org-reader was dropping space after unescaped LaTeX-style symbol
commands:
\ForAll \Auml
resulted in∀Ä
but should give∀ Ä
instead. This seems to be because the LaTeX-reader treats the command-terminating space as part of the command. Dropping the trailing space from the symbol-command fixes this issue. - Print empty table rows. Empty table rows should not be dropped from the output, so row-height is always set to be at least 1.
- Move parser state into separate module. The org reader code has become large and confusing. Extracting smaller parts into submodules should help to clean things up.
- Add support for sub/superscript export options.
Org-mode allows to specify export settings via
#+OPTIONS
lines. Disabling simple sub- and superscripts is one of these export options, this options is now supported. - Support special strings export option Parsing of special strings
(like
...
as ellipsis or--
as en dash) can be toggled using the-
option. - Support emphasized text export option. Parsing of emphasized text can
be toggled using the
*
option. This influences parsing of text marked as emphasized, strong, strikeout, and underline. Parsing of inline math, code, and verbatim text is not affected by this option. - Support smart quotes export option. Reading of smart quotes can be
toggled using the
'
option. - Parse but ignore export options. All known export options are parsed but ignored.
- Refactor block attribute handling. A parser state attribute was used to keep track of block attributes defined in meta-lines. Global state is undesirable, so block attributes are no longer saved as part of the parser state. Old functions and the respective part of the parser state are removed.
- Use custom
anyLine
. Additional state changes need to be made after a newline is parsed, otherwise markup may not be recognized correctly. This fixes a bug where markup after certain block-types would not be recognized. - Add support for
ATTR_HTML
attributes (#1906). Arbitrary key-value pairs can be added to some block types using a#+ATTR_HTML
line before the block. Emacs Org-mode only includes these when exporting to HTML, but since we cannot make this distinction here, the attributes are always added. The functionality is now supported for figures. - Add
:PROPERTIES:
drawer support (#1877). Headers can have optional:PROPERTIES:
drawers associated with them. These drawers contain key/value pairs like the header’sid
. The reader adds all listed pairs to the header’s attributes;id
andclass
attributes are handled specially to match the wayAttr
are defined. This also changes behavior of how drawers of unknown type are handled. Instead of including all unknown drawers, those are not read/exported, thereby matching current Emacs behavior. - Use
CUSTOM_ID
in properties. See above on Org writer changes. - Respect drawer export setting. The
d
export option can be used to control which drawers are exported and which are discarded. Basic support for this option is added here. - Ignore leading space in org code blocks (Emanuel Evans, #2862). Also fix up tab handling for leading whitespace in code blocks.
- Support new syntax for export blocks. Org-mode version 9
uses a new syntax for export blocks. Instead of
#+BEGIN_<FORMAT>
, where<FORMAT>
is the format of the block’s content, the new format uses#+BEGIN_export <FORMAT>
instead. Both types are supported. - Refactor
BEGIN...END
block parsing. - Fix handling of whitespace in blocks, allowing content to be indented less then the block header.
- Support org-ref style citations. The org-ref package is an
org-mode extension commonly used to manage citations in org
documents. Basic support for the
cite:citeKey
and[[cite:citeKey][prefix text::suffix text]]
syntax is added. - Split code into separate modules, making for cleaner code and better decoupling.
-
Added
docbook5
template. -
--mathjax
improvements:- Use new CommonHTML output for MathJax (updated default MathJax URL, #2858).
- Change default mathjax setup to use
TeX-AMS_CHTML
configuration. This is designed for cases where the input is always TeX and maximal conformity with TeX is desired. It seems to be smaller and load faster than what we used before. See #2858. - Load the full MathJax config to maximize loading speed (KolenCheung).
-
Bumped upper version bounds to allow use of latest packages and compilation with ghc 8.
-
Require texmath 0.8.6.2. Closes several texmath-related bugs (#2775, #2310, #2310, #2824). This fixes behavior of roots, e.g.
\sqrt[3]{x}
, and issues with sub/superscript positioning and matrix column alignment in docx. -
README:
- Clarified documentation of
implicit_header_references
(#2904). - Improved documentation of
--columns
option.
- Clarified documentation of
-
Added appveyor setup, with artefacts (Jan Schulz).
-
stack.yaml versions: Use proper flags used for texmath, pandoc-citeproc.
-
LaTeX template: support for custom font families (vladipus). Needed for correct polyglossia operation with Cyrillic fonts and perhaps can find some other usages. Example usage in YAML metadata:
fontfamilies: - name: \cyrillicfont font: Liberation Serif - name: \cyrillicfonttt options: Scale=MatchLowercase font: Liberation
-
Create unsigned msi as build artifact in appveyor build.
-
On travis, test with ghc 8.0.1; drop testing for ghc 7.4.1.
pandoc 1.17.0.3 (2016-03-24)
- LaTeX writer: Fixed position of label in figures (#2813).
Previously the label wasn’t in the right place, and
\ref
wouldn’t work properly. - Added .tei test files to pandoc.cabal so they’ll be included in tarball (#2811).
- Updated copyright dates.
pandoc 1.17.0.2 (2016-03-23)
- Fixed serious regression in
htmlInBalanced
, which caused newlines to be omitted in some raw HTML blocks in Markdown (#2804).
pandoc 1.17.0.1 (2016-03-21)
- File scope is no longer used when there are no input files (i.e.,
when input comes from stdin). Previously file scope was triggered
when the
json
reader was specified and input came fromstdin
, and this caused no output to be produced. (Fix due to Jesse Rosenthal; thanks to Fedor Sheremetyev for calling the bug to our attention.) - Improved documentation of templates (#2797).
pandoc 1.17 (2016-03-20)
-
Added
--file-scope
option (Jesse Rosenthal). By default pandoc operates on multiple files by first concatenating them (around extra line breaks) and then processing the joined file. So it only parses a multi-file document at the document scope. This has the benefit that footnotes and links can be in different files, but for some purposes it is useful to parse the individual files first and then combine their outputs (e.g. when the files use footnotes or links with the same labels). The--file-scope
option causes pandoc to parse the files first, and then combine the parsed output, instead of combining before parsing.--file-scope
is selected automatically for binary input files (which cannot be concatenated) and for pandoc json. -
Add TEI Writer (Chris Forster) and
tei
output format. -
Added a general
ByteStringReader
with warnings, used by the docx reader (API change, Jesse Rosenthal). -
Add
readDocxWithWarnings
(API change, Jesse Rosenthal). -
Changed type of
Shared.uniqueIdent
argument from[String]
toSet String
. This avoids performance problems in documents with many identically named headers (API change, #2671). -
Removed
tex_math_single_backslash
frommarkdown_github
options (#2707). -
Make language extensions as well as full language names trigger syntax highlighting. For example,
py
will now work as well aspython
(jgm/highlighting-kate#83). -
Added
institute
variable to latex, beamer templates (Fraser Tweedale, Josef Svenningsson). -
Docx reader (Jesse Rosenthal):
- Handle alternate content. Some word functions (especially graphics) give various choices for content so there can be backwards compatibility.
- Don’t turn numbered headers into lists.
- Docx Reader: Add state to the parser, for warnings
- Update feature checklist in source code.
- Get rid of
Modifiable
typeclass. - Add tests for adjacent hyperlinks.
- Add a “Link” modifier to
Reducible
. We want to make sure that links have their spaces removed, and are appropriately smushed together (#2689).
-
HTML reader:
- Fixed behavior of base tag (#2777).
If the base path does not end with slash, the last component
will be replaced. E.g. base =
http://example.com/foo
combines withbar.html
to givehttp://example.com/bar.html
. If the href begins with a slash, the whole path of the base is replaced. E.g. base =http://example.com/foo/
combines with/bar.html
to givehttp://example.com/bar.html
. - Rewrote
htmlInBalanced
. This version avoids an exponential performance problem with<script>
tags, and it should be faster in general (#2730). - Properly handle an empty cell in a simple table (#2718).
- Handle multiple
<meta>
tags with same name. Put them in a list in the metadata so they are all preserved, rather than (as before) throwing out all but one..
- Fixed behavior of base tag (#2777).
If the base path does not end with slash, the last component
will be replaced. E.g. base =
-
Markdown reader:
- Improved pipe table parsing (#2765).
- Allow
+
separators in pipe table cells. We already allowed them in the header, but not in the body rows, for some reason. This gives compatibility with org-mode tables. - Don’t cross line boundary parsing pipe table row. Previously an Emph element could be parsed across the newline at the end of the pipe table row.
- Use
htmlInBalanced
forrawVerbatimBlock
, for better performance (#2730). - Fixed bug with smart quotes around tex math.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Handle interior
$
characters in math (#2743). For example,$$\hbox{$i$}$$
. inlineCommand
now gobbles an empty{}
after any command (#2687). This gives better results when people write e.g.\TeX{}
in Markdown.- Properly handle LaTeX “math” environment as inline math (#2171).
- Handle interior
-
Textile reader: Support
>
,<
,=
,<>
text alignment attributes. Closes #2674. -
Org reader (Albert Krewinkel):
- Prefix even empty figure names with “fig:” (#2643). The
convention used by pandoc for figures is to mark them by prefixing
the name with
fig:
. The org reader failed to do this if a figure had no name. - Refactor link-target processing (#2684).
- Prefix even empty figure names with “fig:” (#2643). The
convention used by pandoc for figures is to mark them by prefixing
the name with
-
ConTeXt writer: Fix whitespace at line beginning in line blocks (#2744). Thanks to @c-foster.
-
HTML writer: Don’t include alignment attribute for default table columns. Previously these were given “left” alignment. Better to leave off alignment attributes altogether (#2694).
-
Markdown writer: Use hyphens for YAML metadata block bottom line, for better compatibility with other Markdown flavors (Henrik Tramberend).
-
LaTeX writer:
- Use image identifier to create a label and hypertarget for figures (Mauro Bieg).
- Avoid double toprule in headerless table with caption (#2742).
- Clean up options parser (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Treat
memoir
template witharticle
option as article, instead of treating allmemoir
templates as books. - Allow more flexible table alignment (Henrik Tramberend, #2665).
New default is not to include
[c]
option (which is the default anyway if no positioning is specified). Now LaTeX emplates can control the overall table alignment in a document by setting the longtable length variablesLTleft
andLTright
. For example,\setlength\LTleft\parindent\setlength\LTright\fill
will create left-aligned tables that respect paragraph indentation.
-
Docx writer: Handle image alt text (#2754, Mauro Bieg).
-
Org writer - pass through RawInline with format “org”.
-
DokuWiki writer: use
$$
for display math. -
Custom writer: Pass attributes parameter to CaptionedImage (#2697).
-
Make protocol-relative URIs work again (#2737).
-
make_osx_package.sh: Use env variable for developer id certs.
-
Raise
tagsoup
lower bound to 0.13.7 to fix entity-related problems (#2734). -
Allow
zip-archive
0.3. -
Allow
aeson
0.11.
pandoc 1.16.0.2 (2016-01-12)
-
Depend on deepseq rather than deepseq-generics (fpco/stackage#1096).
-
Fixed regression in latex smart quote parsing (#2645). In cases where a match was not found for a quote, everything from the open quote to the end of the paragraph was being dropped.
pandoc 1.16.0.1 (2016-01-10)
-
Fixed regression with
--latex-engine
(#2618). In 1.16--latex-engine
raises an error if a full path is given. -
Org reader: Fix function dropping subtrees tagged
:noexport
(Albert Krewinkel, #2628): -
Markdown reader: renormalize table column widths if they exceed 100% (#2626).
-
Textile reader: don’t allow block HTML tags in inline contexts. The reader previously did allow this, following redcloth, which happily parses
Html blocks can be <div>inlined</div> as well.
as
<p>Html blocks can be <div>inlined</div> as well.</p>
This is invalid HTML. The above sample now produces;
<p>Html blocks can be</p> <div> <p>inlined</p> </div> <p>as well.</p>
-
Improved default template lookup for custom lua scripts (#2625). Previously, if you tried to do
pandoc -s -t /path/to/lua/script.lua
, pandoc would look for the template in~/.pandoc/templates/default./path/to/lua/script.lua
. With this change it will look in the more reasonable~/.pandoc/templates/default.script.lua
. This makes it possible to store default templates for custom writers. -
RST, Markdown writers: Fixed rendering of grid tables with blank rows (#2615).
-
LaTeX writer: restore old treatment of Span (#2624). A Span is now rendered with surrounding
{}
, as it was before 1.16. -
Entity handling fixes: improved handling of entities like
⟨
that require a trailing semicolon. Allow uppercasex
in numerical hexadecimal character references, working around a tagsoup bug. -
stack.yaml
- use lts-4.0, but with older aeson to avoid excessive memory use on compile. With aeson 0.10 we were getting an out of memory error on a 2GB Ubuntu 64-bit VM. -
Improved deb package creation script. Made
DPKGVER
work. RenamedCOMMIT
toTREE
. You should now be able to doTREE=1.16.0.1 DPKGVER=2 make deb
.
pandoc 1.16 (2016-01-02)
-
Added
Attr
field toLink
andImage
(Mauro Bieg, #261, API change).- Added syntax for link and image attributes to pandoc’s Markdown.
- Updated readers and writers to use link and image attributes when appropriate.
- Support image attributes in Docx, Textile, RST readers.
-
Renamed link attribute extensions. The old
link_attributes
is nowmmd_link_attributes
, andlink_attributes
now enables the new pandoc-style link and image attributes (API change). Note: this change could break some existing workflows. -
Implemented
SoftBreak
and new--wrap
option (#1701, API change). Added threefold wrapping option.- Command line option: deprecated
--no-wrap
, added--wrap=[auto|none|preserve]
- Added
WrapOption
, exported fromText.Pandoc.Options
- Changed type of
writerWrapText
inWriterOptions
fromBool
toWrapOption
. - Modified
Text.Pandoc.Shared
functions to allowSoftBreak
. - Supported
SoftBreak
in readers and writers.
- Command line option: deprecated
-
Text.Pandoc.Options: Added
writerDpi
toWriterOptions
(API change, Mauro Bieg). -
Added
--dpi
command-line option (Mauro Bieg). -
Rationalized behavior of
--no-tex-ligatures
and--smart
(#2541). This change makes--no-tex-ligatures
affect the LaTeX reader as well as the LaTeX and ConTeXt writers. If it is used, the LaTeX reader will parse characters`
,'
, and-
literally, rather than parsing ligatures for quotation marks and dashes. And the LaTeX writer will print unicode quotation mark and dash characters literally, rather than converting them to the standard ASCII ligatures. Note that--smart
has no effect on the LaTeX reader.--smart
is still the default for all input formats when LaTeX or ConTeXt is the output format, unless--no-tex-ligatures
is used.Some examples to illustrate the logic:
% echo "'hi'" | pandoc -t latex `hi' % echo "'hi'" | pandoc -t latex --no-tex-ligatures 'hi' % echo "'hi'" | pandoc -t latex --no-tex-ligatures --smart ‘hi’ % echo "'hi'" | pandoc -f latex --no-tex-ligatures <p>'hi'</p> % echo "'hi'" | pandoc -f latex <p>’hi’</p>
-
Removed deprecated options
--offline
and--html5
. -
Fixed language code for Czech (
cs
notcz
) (#2597). -
Implemented
east_asian_line_breaks
extension (#2586). InText.Pandoc.Options
, addedExt_east_asian_line_breaks
constructor toExtension
(API change). This extension is likeignore_line_breaks
, but smarter – it only ignores line breaks between two East Asian wide characters. This makes it better suited for writing with a mix of East Asian and non-East Asian scripts. -
Added support for PDF creation via
wkhtmltopdf
. To use this:pandoc -t html5 -o result.pdf
(and add--mathjax
if you have math.) Margins can be set using the variablesmargin-top
,margin-bottom
,margin-left
,margin-right
. Other styling can be done through CSS. -
Fixed cite key parsing regression (jgm/pandoc-citeproc#201). We were capturing final colons as in
[@foo: bar]
; the citation id was being parsed as@foo:
. -
ICML writer:
- Fixed image syntax for local files (#2589).
- Changed type of
writeICML
(Mauro Bieg). API change: It is nowWriterOptions -> Pandoc -> IO String
. Also handle new image attributes. - Intersperse line breaks instead of appending them to
every
ParagraphStyleRange
(Mauro Bieg, #2501). - Add
Cite
style to citations (Mauro Bieg). - Added figure handling (#2590, Mauro Bieg).
- Better handling of math. Instead of just printing the raw tex, we now try to fake it with unicode characters.
-
HTML writer: Include
example
class for example lists (#2524). -
ODT/OpenDocument writer: improved image attributes (Mauro Bieg).
- Support for percentage widths/heights
- Use
Attr
instead of title to get dimensions from ODT walker towriteOpenDocument
.
-
AsciiDoc writer:
- Support anchors in spans and divs with id elements (jgm/pandoc-citeproc#143).
- Fixed code blocks (#1861).
-
Haddock writer: omit formatting inside links, which isn’t supported by Haddock (#2515).
-
MediaWiki writer: Fixed spacing issues in table cells.
- Start cell on new line unless it’s a single Para or Plain (#2606).
- For single Para or Plain, insert a space after the
|
to avoid problems when the text begins with a character like-
(#2604).
-
Beamer writer: mark frame as fragile when it contains verbatim (#1613).
-
LaTeX writer:
- Add support for GAP highlighting using listings (Raniere Silva).
- Consider
header-includes
content as well as templates when determining whether to use csquotes (Andreas Lööw). - Create defaults for geometry using
margin-left
etc. Ifgeometry
has no value, butmargin-left
,margin-right
,margin-top
, and/or-margin-bottom
are given, a default value forgeometry
is created from these. Note that these variables already affect PDF production via HTML5 withwkhtmltopdf
.
-
ConTeXt writer: set default layout based on
margin-left
, etc. This sets up\setuplayout
based on the variablesmargin-left
,margin-right
,margin-bottom
, andmargin-top
, if no layout is given. -
Docx writer: better handling of PDF images. Previously we tried to get the image size from the image even if an explicit size was specified. Since we still can’t get image size for PDFs, this made it impossible to use PDF images in docx. Now we don’t try to get the image size when a size is already explicitly specified.
-
Markdown writer: use raw HTML for link/image attributes when the
link_attributes
extension is unset andraw_html
is set (#2554). -
MediaWiki reader: interpret markup inside
<tt>
,<code>
(#2607). -
LaTeX reader:
- Improved smart quote parsing (#2555). This fixes redering of unmatched quotes.
- Use curly quotes for unmatched ` (#2555).
- Allow blank space between braced arguments of commands (#2592).
-
Markdown reader:
- Improved pipe table relative widths. Previously pipe table columns got relative widths (based on the header underscore lines) when the source of one of the rows was greater in width than the column width. This gave bad results in some cases where much of the width of the row was due to nonprinting material (e.g. link URLs). Now pandoc only looks at printable width (the width of a plain string version of the source), which should give better results. Thanks to John Muccigrosso for bringing up the issue.
- Fixed parsing bug with macros. Previously macro definitions in indented code blocks were being parsed as macro definitions, not code.
-
Textile reader: skip over attribute in image source (#2515). We don’t have a place yet for styles or sizes on images, but we can skip the attributes rather than incorrectly taking them to be part of the filename.
-
Docx reader: Handle dummy list items (Jesse Rosenthal). These come up when people create a list item and then delete the bullet. It doesn’t refer to any real list item, and we used to ignore it.
-
CommonMark reader/writer rewritten to use latest
cmark
. -
Fixed Emoji character definitions (#2523). There were many bugs in the definitions.
-
Text.Pandoc.CSS
:- Added
pickStylesToKVs
function to extract multiple properties at once (API change, Mauro Bieg). - Parse CSS that doesn’t contain the optional semicolon (Mauro Bieg).
- Added
-
trypandoc
: sort drop-down lists. -
Beamer template:
- Made
\euro
conditional on presence of character. for xelatex and lualatex, as it is for pdflatex (Andrew Dunning). - Moved
header-includes
before setting of title (Thomas Hodgson), to match the LaTeX template (jgm/pandoc-templates#168). - Added
section-titles
variable (defaults to true) to enable/suppress section title pages in beamer slide shows (Thomas Hodgson). - Moved beamer themes after fonts, so that themes can change fonts. (Previously the fonts set were being clobbered by lmodern.sty.) (Thomas Hodgson).
- Made
-
Beamer/LaTeX template changes (Thomas Hodgson):
- Added
thanks
variable - Use
parskip.sty
whenindent
isn’t set (fall back to usingsetlength
as before ifparskip.sty
isn’t available). - Use
biblio-style
with biblatex. - Added
biblatexoptions
variable.
- Added
-
LaTeX template changes:
- Added
paper
after$papersize$
variable in latex template. Thus you can saypapersize: a4
and the latex will containa4paper
. This change may break some existing workflows; if you currently specifya4paper
, you’ll geta4paperpaper
which is meaningless. However, the change seems worth it, as it will make thepapersize
variable work uniformly across ConTeXt, LaTeX, and html->pdf via wkhtmltopdf. - Only pass options to color package if
colorlinks
is set (Andrew Dunning). - Make definition of
\euro
conditional in xelatex/lualatex, as it is already for pdflatex (Andrew Dunning). - Removed setting of
subject
in PDF metadata. This used to be set to the subtitle, but really the subtitle need not give the subject. Also,subtitle
can contain formatting, so we’d need, at least, a plain text version for this. - Moved
header-includes
before setting of\title
,\author
, etc. This allows these macros to be redefined. - Use
\subtitle
command forsubtitle
, instead of tacking it on to the title as before. We give a no-op fallback definition if it is not defined. This change should produce much better results in classes that support\subtitle
. With the default article class, which does not define\subtitle
, subtitles will no longer be printed unless the user defines\subtitle
and redefines\maketitle
. - Moved redefinitions of
\paragraph
and\subparagraph
to before header-includes.
- Added
-
Context template:
- Use
simplefonts
for font loading (Paolo Rodríguez). This is needed for things to work on ConTeXt stable from TeXLive 2015. - Revert use of
\setuphead
in title block (Andrew Dunning, Rik Kabel).
- Use
-
Update LaTeX/ConTeXt link colour usage (Andrew Dunning).
-
Fixed man template so disabling hyphenation actually works. The command needs to come after .TH.
-
Added ‘navigation’ variable to beamer template (#2543). Valid values are
empty
(the default),horizontal
,vertical
, andframe
. Note that this changes the default behavior fromhorizontal
toempty
. Closes #2543. -
Added
toc
to HTML slide format templates (Andrew Dunning), so that--toc
creates a contents slide. -
Added
stack.full.yaml
to buildpandoc-citeproc
as well. -
Allow pipe tables with no body rows (#2556). Previously this raised a runtime error.
-
Shared: Improved
fetchItem
so thatC:/Blah/Blah.jpg
isn’t treated as URL. The Haskell URI parsing routines will accept “C:” as a scheme, so we rule that out manually. This helps with--self-contained
and absolute Windows paths. -
Define a
meta-json
variable for all writers (#2019). This contains a JSON version of all the metadata, in the format selected for the writer. So, for example, to get just the YAML metadata, you can run pandoc with the following custom template:$meta-json$
. The intent is to make it easier for static site generators and other tools to get at the metadata. -
Document limitations of –self-contained (#2553).
-
Improved Citations section of README (#2551). Added information about
link-citations
and a link to the pandoc-citeproc man page. -
ImageSize
: usesafeRead
instead ofreadMaybe
, which isn’t in base < 4.6. -
Allow .adoc file extension for AsciiDoc (Andrew Dunning).
-
Improved implicit pandoc-citeproc inclusion. The filter pandoc-citeproc is automatically used when
--bibliography
is specified on the command line, unless--natbib
or--biblatex
is used. However, previously this only worked if--bibliography
was spelled out in full, and not if--biblio
was used. -
reveal.js: Interpret pauses correctly for all headers (#2530). Previously, when using headers below the slide level, pauses are left uninterpreted into pauses. In my opinion, unexpected behavior but intentional looking at the code.
-
Remove redundant
center
variable for reveal.js (Andrew Dunning). -
Parsing: Add
extractIdClass
, modified type ofKeyTable
(Mauro Bieg, API change). -
ImageSize: Added functions for converting between image dimensions (Mauro Bieg).
-
Use lts-3.18 in stack.yaml. This avoids Windows build issues with the HTTP library.
-
Bump version bounds for dependencies.
pandoc 1.15.2.1 (2015-11-16)
-
Added two missing test files, and
stack.yaml
, toextra-source-files
so they’re included in the source tarball. -
reveal.js template: Fixed parallaxBackground options.
parallaxBackgroundHorizontal
andparallaxBackgroundVertical
need integer values, not strings. (Vaughn Iverson)
pandoc 1.15.2 (2015-11-15)
-
pandoc my.md -t context -o my.pdf
will now create a PDF using ConTeXt rather than LaTeX (#2463). -
Fixed omitted
url(...)
in CSS data-uri with--self-contained
(#2489). -
Added
emoji
Markdown extension, enabled by default inmarkdown_github
(#2523). AddedExt_emoji
toExtension
inText.Pandoc.Options
(API change). -
Text.Pandoc.Readers.HTML.parseTags
: Fixed over-eager raw HTML inline parsing (#2469). Tightened up the inline HTML parser so it disallows TagWarnings. -
Derive
Generic
instances for the types inText.Pandoc.Options
. -
Org reader:
- Fix paragraph/list interaction (Albert Krewinkel, #2464). Paragraphs can be followed by lists, even if there is no blank line between the two blocks. However, this should only be true if the paragraph is not within a list, were the preceding block should be parsed as a plain instead of paragraph (to allow for compact lists). Thanks to @rgaiacs for bringing this up.
- Allow toggling header args (Albert Krewinkel, #2269). Org-mode allows to skip the argument of a code block header argument if it’s toggling a value. Argument-less headers are now recognized, avoiding weird parsing errors.
- Fix markup parsing in headers (Albert Krewinkel, #2504). Markup as the very first item in a header wasn’t recognized. This was caused by an incorrect parser state: positions at which inline markup can start need to be marked explicitly by changing the parser state. This wasn’t done for headers. The proper function to update the state is now called at the beginning of the header parser, fixing this issue.
- Fix emphasis rules for smart parsing (Albert Krewinkel, #2513). Smart quotes, ellipses, and dashes should behave like normal quotes, single dashes, and dots with respect to text markup parsing.
- Require whitespace around definition list markers (#2518). This rule was not checked before, resulting in bugs with footnotes and some link types.
-
Markdown reader:
- Pipe tables with long lines now get relative cell widths (#2471).
If a pipe table contains a line longer than the column width (as set by
--columns
or 80 by default), relative widths are computed based on the widths of the separator lines relative to the column width. This should solve persistent problems with long pipe tables in LaTeX/PDF output, and give more flexibility for determining relative column widths in other formats, too. For narrower pipe tables, column widths of 0 are used, telling pandoc not to specify widths explicitly in output formats that permit this. - Improved parser for
mmd_title_block
. We now allow blank metadata fields. These were explicitly disallowed before. - Citation keys can now contain
://
, so URLs and DOIs can be used as citation keys (jgm/pandoc-citeproc#166).
- Pipe tables with long lines now get relative cell widths (#2471).
If a pipe table contains a line longer than the column width (as set by
-
Beamer template: fix incompatibility of section slides with natbib. Natbib (and presumably biblatex) bibliography commands create their own section. Since these are in frame environments, we have an incompatibility with the
\AtBeginSection
macro which creates a special frame when a new section occurs. (We can’t have a frame inside another frame.) This change disables\AtBeginSection
inside bibliography slides. Thinks to Yihui Xie for bringing the problem to my attention. This supersedes #145. See discussion there. -
Textile reader: don’t do smart punctuation unless explicitly asked (#2480). Note that although smart punctuation is part of the textile spec, it’s not always wanted when converting from textile to, say, Markdown. So it seems better to make this an option.
-
LaTeX reader: Handle
comment
environment (Arata Mizuki). Thecomment
environment is handled in a similar way to theverbatim
environment, except that its content is discarded. -
Docx reader: Follow relationships correctly in foot/endnotes (#2258, Jesse Rosenthal). This fixes a problem with links in notes.
-
LaTeX and ConTeXt writers: support
lang
attribute on divs and spans (mb21). For LaTeX, also collectlang
anddir
attributes on spans and divs to set thelang
,otherlangs
anddir
variables if they aren’t set already. See #895. -
LaTeX writer:
- Use proper command for
\textarabic
(mb21). - Added
de-CH-1901
, fixedel-polyton
intoPloyglossia
(Nick Bart). - Use
\hypertarget
and\hyperlink
for links. This works correctly to link to Div or Span elements. We now don’t bother defining\label
for Div or Span elements. Closes jgm/pandoc-citeproc#174. - Avoid footnotes in list of figures (#1506).
- Properly handle footnotes in captions (#1506).
- Add
\protect
to\hyperlink
(#2490). Thanks to Hadrien Mary. - Set
colorlinks
iflinkcolor
,urlcolor
,citecolor
, ortoccolor
is set (#2508).
- Use proper command for
-
Textile writer: support start number in ordered lists (#2465).
-
OpenDocument writer: Allow customization of opendocument automatic styles. Automatic styles can now be inserted in the template, which now provides the enclosing
<office:automatic-styles>
tags (#2520). -
Docx writer: insert space between footnote reference and note (#2527). This matches Word’s default behavior.
-
EPUB writer: don’t download linked media when
data-external
attribute set (#2473). By default pandoc downloads all linked media and includes it in the EPUB container. This can be disabled by settingdata-external
on the tags linking to media that should not be downloaded. Example:<audio controls="1"> <source src="http://www.sixbarsjail.it/tmp/bach_toccata.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"></source> </audio>
-
HTML writer: use width on whole table if col widths sum to < 100%. Otherwise some browsers display the table with the columns separated far apart.
-
AsciiDoc template: Fix
author
anddate
; addkeywords
,abstract
(Andrew Dunning). -
HTML-based templates (Andrew Dunning):
- Use en dash instead of hyphen between title prefix and title.
- Add
keywords
to metadata. - Add
lang
,dir
,quotes
where missing. - Always make author and date display conditional.
- Updated dzslides template from source.
-
Man template: make “generated by” comment conditional.
-
LaTeX, Beamer templates:
- Add
babel-otherlangs
for language divs/spans;babel-newcommands
, filled by commands that make babel understand the polyglossia-style language directives (mb21, #137). - Improved formatting of conditionals;
$for$
is always provided to allow multiple options (Andrew Dunning, #141). - Use
Ligatures=TeX
rather thanMapping=tex-text
withfontspec
to improve support for LuaTeX (Andrew Dunning, #135). - Revise
hyperref
usage (Andrew Dunning, #139, #141):- use same options for all LaTeX engines;
- add
subtitle
andkeywords
to PDF metadata; - do not override
hyperref
link coloring without user input, effectively making thehidelinks
option the default (removed as a separate variable); - link colors can be enabled (using a slightly darker version of the old
defaults) using a new
colorlinks
variable, automatically used by the LaTeX writer when custom colors are specified; pdfborder={0 0 0}
is automatically set byhyperref
withcolorlinks
, and is only applied ifcolorlinks
is disabled.
- Add
-
ConTeXt template (Andrew Dunning):
- New variables for controlling styles:
linkstyle
,linkcolor
,linkcontrastcolor
,layout
,pagenumbering
,whitespace
,indenting
,interlinespace
,headertext
,footertext
,mainfont
,sansfont
,monofont
,mathfont
,fontsize
. - Default template no longer supports MkII.
- Improve writing of title block (suppressing numbering of first page).
- Add
title
subtitle
,author
,date
,keywords
to PDF metadata. - Support
subtitle
,abstract
. - Support list of figures (
lof
), list of tables (lot
). - Disable link styling by default.
- Define styles for all section types.
- Enable microtype.
- Improved formatting of conditionals.
- New variables for controlling styles:
-
Beamer template: added code to prevent slide breaks inside paragraphs (#2422, thanks to Nick Bart). This will matter, in practice, only when
allowframebreaks
is used. It is especially helpful for bibliography slides. -
OpenDocument template: Add
<office:automatic-styles>
tag around automatic styles. The writer now longer provides this (see #2520). -
Restored Text.Pandoc.Compat.Monoid.
-
Do not export (<>) from custom Prelude. The Prelude now matches base 4.8 Prelude’s API.
-
Don’t use custom prelude with ghc 7.10. Use the custom prelude only for earlier versions. This change makes
stack ghci
andcabal repl
work (#2503), at least with ghc 7.10. -
Changed § to % in operators from Odt.Arrows.Utils (#2457). This prevents problems building haddocks with “C” locale.
-
Change default for old-locale flag to False.
-
Use stack in deb, osx, and Windows package generators.
-
Added Vagrantfile for building deb in vm. This should help in automating binary package creation. ‘make package’ will make the package. ‘make package COMMIT=blah’ will make the package from commit blah.
-
README:
- Consistent capitalization for pandoc and Markdown.
- Fixed
auto_identifiers
examples (Benoit Schweblin). - Improved documentation of template variables (Andrew Dunning).
pandoc 1.15.1 (2015-10-15)
-
pandocVersion
is now defined inText.Pandoc.Shared
and reexported fromText.Pandoc
(Alex Vong). This allows writers to access it. (Alex Vong) (API change) -
For
markdown_mmd
, add:implicit_figures
,superscripts
,subscripts
(#2401). -
Added
odt
as input format (MarLinn). Added new moduleText.Pandoc.Reader.ODT
(API change). Fully implemented features: Paragraphs, Headers, Basic styling, Unordered lists, Ordered lists, External Links, Internal Links, Footnotes, Endnotes, Blockquotes. Partly implemented features: Citations, Tables. -
Markdown Reader:
- Add basic tests for each header style (Ophir Lifshitz).
- Add implicit header ref tests for headers with spaces (Ophir Lifshitz).
- Skip spaces in headers (Ophir Lifshitz).
- Handle ‘id’ and ‘class’ in parsing key/value attributes (#2396).
# Header {id="myid" class="foo bar"}
is now equivalent to# Header {#myid .foo .bar}
. - Use ‘=’ instead of ‘#’ for atx-style headers in markdown+lhs. (Kristof Bastiaensen)
- Pipe tables: allow indented columns. Previously the left-hand column could not start with 4 or more spaces indent. This was inconvenient for right-aligned left columns. Note that the first (header column) must still have 3 or fewer spaces indentation, or the table will be treated as an indented code block.
- Fix regression: allow HTML comments containing
--
. Technically this isn’t allowed in an HTML comment, but we’ve always allowed it, and so do most other implementations. It is handy if e.g. you want to put command line arguments in HTML comments.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Don’t eat excess whitespace after macros with only optional arguments (#2446).
- Support longtable (#2411).
- Implement
\Cite
(#2335). - Support abstract environment. The abstract populates an
abstract
metadata field. - Properly handle booktabs lines. Lines aren’t part of the pandoc table model, so we just ignore them (#2307).
-
HTML reader:
- Handle type attribute on ol, e.g.
<ol type="i">
(#2313). - Updated for new automatic header attributes.
- Add auto identifiers if not present on headers. This makes TOC linking work properly.
- Detect
font-variant
withpickStyleAttrProps
(Ophir Lifshitz). - Test
<ol>
type, class, and inline list-style(-type) CSS (Ophir Lifshitz). - Better handling of “section” elements (#2438). Previously
<section>
tags were just parsed as raw HTML blocks. With this change, section elements are parsed as Div elements with the class “section”.
- Handle type attribute on ol, e.g.
-
MediaWiki reader: handle unquoted table attributes (#2355).
-
DocBook reader:
- Added proper support for DocBook
xref
elements (Frerich Raabe). AddeddbContent
field to reader state, so we can lookup cross refs. - Handle
informalexample
(#2319).
- Added proper support for DocBook
-
Docx Reader:
- Create special punctuation test (Ophir Lifshitz).
- Parse soft, no-break hyphen elements (Ophir Lifshitz).
- Updated headers test (Ophir Lifshitz). Replaced
styles.xml
inheaders.docx
with pandoc’s currentstyles.xml
, which contains styles for Heading 1 through 6. Added Heading 4 through 7 to the test document. Note that Heading 7 is not parsed as a Heading because there is no Heading 7 style.
-
RST reader: better handling of indirect roles. Previously the parser failed on this kind of case
.. role:: indirect(code) .. role:: py(indirect) :language: python :py:`hi`
Now it correctly recognizes
:py:
as a code role. -
Org reader:
- Add auto identifiers if not present on headers (#2354, Juliusz Gonera).
- Allow verse blocks to contain empty lines (#2402, Albert Krewinkel).
-
EPUB reader: stop mangling external URLs (#2284).
-
RST writer:
- Don’t insert
\
when complex expression in matched pairs. E.g.[:sup:`3`]
is okay; you don’t need[:sup:`3`\ ]
. - Ensure that
\
is inserted when needed before Cite and Span elements that begin with a “complex” element (jgm/pandoc-citeproc#157). - Normalize headers only in “standalone” mode (#2394).
- Don’t insert
-
Haddock writer: escape
*
and^
(G. Bataille). -
Markdown writer:
- In TOC, add links to headers (#829).
- Use unicode super/subscripts for digits in plain output
(when the
superscripts
andsubscripts
extensions are not enabled).
-
Docx writer:
- Moved invalid character stripping to
formattedString
. This avoids an inefficient generic traversal (#2356). - Use user data directory for
reference.docx
archive. This allows the test suite to work without installing pandoc first. It also brings the docx writer in line with the odt writer. - Tests: docx writer tests now use
../data
for data directory. This allows tests to be run without installing first. - Tests: Use real jpg (not empty) for docx tests to avoid warning.
- Moved invalid character stripping to
-
LaTeX writer:
- Fixed detection of ‘chapters’ from template.
If a documentclass isn’t specified in metadata, but the
template has a hardwired bookish documentclass, act as if
--chapters
was used. This was the default in earlier versions, but it has been broken for a little while. - Correctly recognize book documentclass in metadata (#2395).
- Set language-related variables automatically, depending
on the value of the
lang
field, which is now always assumed to be in BCP47 format (mb21, #1614, #2437). - Add
\protect
to\hyperdef
in inline context. This way we don’t get an error when this is used as a moveable argument (#2136). - Support all frame attributes in Beamer.
- Percent-encode more special characters in URLs (#1640, #2377). The special characters are ‘<’,’>’,’|’,’”’,’{’,’}’,’[’,’]’,’^’, ‘`’.
- Fixed detection of ‘chapters’ from template.
If a documentclass isn’t specified in metadata, but the
template has a hardwired bookish documentclass, act as if
-
HTML writer:
- Update KaTeX JS and CSS versions (Emily Eisenberg).
- For dzslides, add
role="note"
for speaker notes (#1693). - Percent-encode more special characters in URLs (#1640, #2377). The special characters are ‘<’,’>’,’|’,’”’,’{’,’}’,’[’,’]’,’^’, ‘`’.
- Render Div with class
section
as<section>
in HTML5.
-
EPUB writer:
- In TOC, replace literal
<br/>
with space (#2105). - With
--webtex
, include image file rather thandata:
URI (#2363).
- In TOC, replace literal
-
Native writer: format Div properly, with blocks separated.
-
Support bidirectional text output with XeLaTeX, ConTeXt and HTML (#2191, mb21).
-
Reference Docx:
- Add missing Header 6 style (steel blue) (Ophir Lifshitz).
- Correct
outlineLvl
for Header styles (Ophir Lifshitz).
-
Templates
- Beamer: Add
innertheme
,outertheme
variables (Guilhem Bonnefille, #121). Add space after colon in figure caption. Integrate recent font and language updates from LaTeX template; allow use ofmainfont
variable for changing the slide text in XeTeX and LuaTeX (Andrew Dunning, #131). - LaTeX: Add
mainfontoptions
,sansfontoptions
,monofontoptions
,mathfontoptions
,fontfamilyoptions
(Andrew Dunning, #122). Support handling of bidirectional text (mb21, #120). Improve reliability of superscripts/subscripts under XeTeX and prevent letters and numbers from appearing on a different baseline by removing use of therealscripts
package (viaxltxtra
). To restore use of OpenType characters for these features under XeTeX or LuaTeX, add\usepackage{realscripts}
toheader-includes
(Andrew Dunning, #130). Remove redundant reference toxunicode
(Andrew Dunning, #130). Addfontenc
,indent
,subparagraph
variables (Andrew Dunning). Allow use ofhidelinks
variable forhyperref
package (Hugo Roy, #113). Prevent package clash withtufte-latex
and other classes that includehyperref
orcolor
(Xavier Olive, #115). - ConTeXt: Support handling of bidirectional text (mb21, #120).
- LaTeX and ConTeXt: Use more specific language variables.
Instead of directly using
lang
, we now usebabel-lang
andpolyglossia-lang
andcontext-lang
. These variables are set by the writers to the necessary values, based on thelang
variable (which now always takes a value in BCP47 format). (mb21, #114, #129). - HTML: Support handling of bidirectional text (mb21, #120). Move HTML5 shiv after CSS and fix URL (Andrew Dunning). Add dir attribute in html5 (Andrew Dunning).
- reveal.js: Add
controls
,progress
variables (Grégoire Pineau, #127). Addwidth
,height
variables (Anrew Dunning). Update template from 3.1 source (Andrew Dunning). All configuration options are now available as variables, but are only be included if set (reveal.js uses defaults otherwise). - man: Added comment stating that the page is autogenerated by pandoc,
giving version. Added
adjusting
andhyphenate
variables (Alex Vong, #123).
- Beamer: Add
-
epub.css: added selectors for nested emphasis (Pablo Rodriguez).
-
MediaBag: ensure that
/
is always used as path separator. -
sample.lua
: defineCaptionedImage
, add newline at end (#2393). -
Added
--bash-completion
option. This generates a bash completion script. To use:eval "$(pandoc --bash-completion)"
. -
Text.Pandoc.Error: Define Typeable and Exception instances for PandocError (#2386).
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing:
toKey
: strip off outer brackets. This makes keys with extra space at the beginning and end work: e.g.[foo]: bar [ foo ]
will now be a link to bar (it wasn’t before).
-
Text.Pandoc: disable
auto_identifiers
for epub. The epub writer inserts its own auto identifiers; this is more complex due to splitting into “chapter” files. -
Renamed Text.Pandoc.Compat.Locale -> Text.Pandoc.Compat.Time. It now reexports Data.Time.
-
Use custom Prelude to avoid compiler warnings.
- The (non-exported) prelude is in prelude/Prelude.hs.
- It exports Monoid and Applicative, like base 4.8 prelude, but works with older base versions.
- It exports (<>) for mappend.
- It hides ‘catch’ on older base versions.
-
Added a
stack.ymal
and stack install instructions to INSTALL. -
Clarified what is “out of scope” in README and CONTRIBUTING.md.
-
Added note to CONTRIBUTING.md about ghc versions and travis.
-
Clarify docs on block quotes. The space after
>
is optional (#2346). -
Removed obsolete reference to default.csl (#2372).
-
List all styles in manual for
--reference-docx
(Chris Black) -
Don’t capitalize header links in man page.
-
Added section on repl to CONTRIBUTING.md.
-
README: Added space after backslash in image example (#2329).
-
Document details of citation locator terms (Nick Bart).
-
Fixed some internal links in README (#2309).
-
Improve CSL documentation, variables documentations, links, and cross-references in README. (Andrew Dunning)
-
Fix build failure with
--flags=-https
(Sergei Trofimovich). -
Use
newManager
instead ofwithManager
in recenthttp-client
. This avoids a deprecation warning. -
Allow building with latest versions of http-types, HUnit, criterion, syb, aeson.
-
Updated benchmark program for new criterion API.
-
Setup.hs: rewrite so as not to use process, directory, filepath. Using anything outside base is dangerous, since older versions of ghc may link against two different versions.
-
Added appveyor (Windows continuous integration) builds.
-
New
.travis.yml
. Autgenerated usingmake_travis_yml.hs
. This script has been modified in a few ways, e.g. to addGHCOPTS
.make .travis.yml
regenerates it based on the tested-with field of the cabal file.
pandoc 1.15.0.6 (2015-07-15)
-
--self-contained
: Fixed overaggressive CSS minimization (#2301, 2286). Previously--self-contained
wiped out all spaces in CSS, including semantically significant spaces. This was a regression from 1.14.x. -
Markdown reader: don’t allow bare URI links or autolinks in link label (#2300). Added test cases.
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
,uri
: Improved bare autolink detection (#2299). Previously we disallowed-
at the end of an autolink, and disallowed the combination=-
. This commit liberalizes the rules for allowing punctuation in a bare URI, and adds test cases. One potential drawback is that you can no longer put a bare URI in em dashes like this:this uri---http://example.com---is an example.
But in this respect we now match github’s treatment of bare URIs. -
HTML writer: support speaker notes in dzslides. With this change
<div class="notes">
and also<div class="notes" role="note">
will be output if-t dzslides
is used. So we can have speaker notes in dzslides too. Thanks to maybegeek. -
Updated dzslides template.
-
Improved documentation of options to print system default files (#2298).
--print-default-data-file
and--print-default-template
. -
DokuWiki writer: use
$..$
for Math instead of<math>..</math>
(Tiziano Müller). MathJax seems currently to be the only maintained math rendering extension for DokuWiki. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared
: Changedhierarchicalize
so it treats references div as top-level header (#2294). This fixes a bug with--section-divs
, where the final references section added by pandoc-citeproc, enclosed in its own div, got nested in the div for the section previous to it. -
Allow vector 0.11.
-
Require cmark > 0.4.
pandoc 1.15.0.5 (2015-07-10)
-
HTML writer: Fixed email javascript obfuscation with
mailto:
URLs (#2280). This fixes a potential security issue. Because single quotes weren’t being escaped in the link portion, a specially crafted email address could allow javascript code injection. -
RST reader: allow inline formatting in definition list field names (Lars-Dominik Braun).
-
PDF: Make sure
--latex-engine-opt
goes before the filename on the command line. LaTeX needs the argument to come after the options (#1779). -
CommonMark writer: fixed tags used for super/subscript.
-
ConTeXt template: activate hanging indent for definition lists (mb21).
-
Make cabal require
hsb2hs
>= 0.3.1 ifembed_data_files
specified. This is done by addinghookedPrograms
inSetup.hs
, which allows us to includehsb2hs
in Build-Tools in cabal. -
Improved Windows installer (thanks to nkalvi).
- When per-machine installation is chosen, the system path is updated instead of the user’s.
- An appropriate default is used for per-machine installation directory.
- Admin privileges are no longer required for a per-user install
-
Travis: unpack sdist for build to catch packaging bugs.
-
Improved documentation on where user templates go (#2272).
pandoc 1.15.0.4 (2015-07-03)
-
Added pandoc.1 man page to the repository. It is no longer built as part of the cabal build process. (This proved too fragile.) pandoc.1 can be regenerated (
make man/pandoc.1
) whenREADME
is changed. -
Copying of the man page now respects
--destdir
(#2262). -
Improved error messages for filters. User is now informed if the filter requires an interpreter that isn’t found in the path, or if the filter returns an error status.
pandoc 1.15.0.3 (2015-07-02)
- Ensure target directory is created when installing man page.
pandoc 1.15.0.2 (2015-07-02)
- Added files needed for building man page to Extra-Source-Files.
pandoc 1.15.0.1 (2015-07-01)
- Man page is now built and installed as part of the cabal build process. Removed Makefile target for man page.
pandoc 1.15 (2015-07-01)
-
Man page changes:
- Removed
--man1
,--man5
options (breaking change). - Removed
Text.Pandoc.ManPages
module (breaking API change). - Makefile target for
man/man1/pandoc.1
. This uses pandoc to create the man page from README using a custom template and filters. - Added
man/
directory with template and filters needed to build man page. - We no longer have two man pages:
pandoc.1
andpandoc_markdown.5
. Now there is just pandoc.1, which has all the content from README. This change was needed because of the extensive cross-references between parts of the README. - Removed old
data/pandoc.1.template
anddata/pandoc_markdown.5.template
.
- Removed
-
OpenDocument writer: Do not add a carriage return after a hard line break (Michael Chladek).
-
ConTeXt writer:
- use
\goto
for internal links. - Added a
%
at end for\reference
to avoid spurious space.
- use
-
Ignore sandbox on ‘make quick’
pandoc 1.14.1 (2015-06-30)
-
Added
--man1
and--man5
options to pandoc, allowing pandoc to generate its own man pages. Man pages are no longer automatically generated in the build process (the process for this was too complex and prone to failure, #2190). Themake-pandoc-man-pages
executable has been removed. Theman/
directory has been removed, and man page templates have been moved todata/
. NOTE TO PACKAGERS: You will no longer find pandoc’s man pages inman/
, but you can generate them usingpandoc --man1 > pandoc.1
andpandoc --man5 > pandoc_markdown.5
. -
Added new unexported module:
Text.Pandoc.ManPages
. -
README
now acts like a data file (even though it isn’t indata/
). So, for example,pandoc --print-default-data-file README
will produce the README.) This change was required for the--man1
and--man5
options, since the man pages are produced from the README, but it may be useful for other purposes as well. -
Allow
reference.docx
andreference.odt
to be used with--print-default-data-file
and to shadow defaults if placed in the user data directory. Note that as of 1.14, we no longer include these files as data files; instead, we include their components. This change causes pandoc to behave as if it has these data files; they are constructed on demand when needed usinggetDefaultReferenceDocx
andgetDefaultReferenceODT
. -
Fixed regression in CSS parsing with
--self-contained
(#2224). Pandoc 1.14.0.x used css-text to parse the CSS, but its parser silently drops big sections of CSS. This commit replaces the use of css-text with a small but principled CSS preprocessor, which removes whitespace and comments and replacesurl()
with base 64 data when possible. -
Use
https://
instead of//
for MathJax and KaTeX CDN URLs (#1920). This will allow math to work when pages are being viewed locally. -
Text.Pandoc.Options
: ExportplainExtensions
. These are the extensions used inplain
output. -
LaTeX reader: Don’t parse
_
and^
as sub/superscript outside of math mode; treat them as regular inline text. Normally these will cause an error in LaTeX, but there are contexts (e.g.alltt
environments) where they are allowed. -
HTML reader: allow
<body>
to close<head>
. -
DocBook reader: support
mediaobject
s andfigures
(#2184, mb21). -
RST reader: Fix reference names with special characters (Lars-Dominik Braun).
-
Textile writer: escape
+
and-
as entities (#2225). -
DokuWiki writer: Use proper
<code>
tags for code blocks (#2213). -
Plain writer: don’t use symbols for super/subscript (#2237). Simplified code by using
plainExtensions
. -
InDesign writer: Properly escape URLs containing more than one colon character (gohai).
-
Docx writer: Make sure we use dist version of
reference.docx
(and not the user’s version) for certain settings. Taking some settings values from a user-supplied reference.docx can lead to corruption. This fixes a regression from the last release (#2249). -
Text.Pandoc.Shared
: exportsgetDefaultReferenceDocx
andgetDefaultReferenceODT
(API change). These functions have been removed from the Docx and ODT writers. -
LaTeX template (Xavier Olive):
- Added
CJKmainfont
andCJKoptions
variables. - Allow dvipsnames (e.g.
MidnightBlue
) for colors (Xavier Olive).
- Added
-
Epub templates: use
author.role
, notauthor.type
. -
Bump cmark version to >= 0.3.4.
-
Improved Windows installer (#2205, thanks to nkalvi). Users can now select a per-user or systemwide install, and can set the installation path. At the end of installation, the install location is given. The install location is also now given in the list of installed programs in Control Panel. Cleaner WiX syntax is used for setting the path.
-
Added
download_stats
target to Makefile.
pandoc 1.14.0.4 (2015-06-02)
-
Added missing commonmark template.
-
Improved try pandoc (moved button, show raw command).
pandoc 1.14.0.3 (2015-06-01)
-
Allow compilation with syb 0.5.*.
-
Custom writer: fixed some compiler warnings for ghc < 7.10.
pandoc 1.14.0.2 (2015-05-31)
- Allow building with hslua 0.4.
pandoc 1.14.0.1 (2015-05-28)
-
Fixed problem with building of
reference.docx
andreference.odt
when theembed_data_files
flag is used. Instead of having a phase of the build wherereference.docx
andreference.odt
are created from their constituent data files, we now construct these archives from their constituents when adocx
orodt
is built. The constituent files have been moved fromextra-source-files
todata-files
, andreference.docx
andreference.odt
have been removed. Users can create their ownreference.docx
orreference.odt
by using pandoc to create a simpledocx
orodt
.make-reference-files.hs
has been removed, simplifying the build process (#2187) -
Don’t include generated man pages in extra-source-files (#2189).
-
Bumped upper bound for aeson.
-
ConTeXt writer: create internal link anchors for Div elements with identifiers. (This is needed for linked citations to work.)
pandoc 1.14 (2015-05-27)
New features
-
Added
commonmark
as input and output format. -
Added
--verbose
flag for debugging output in PDF production (#1840, #1653). -
Allow wildcards in
--epub-embed-font
arguments (#1939). -
Added
--latex-engine-opt
option (#969, #1779, Sumit Sahrawat). -
Added
shortcut_reference_links
extension (Konstantin Zudov, #1977). This is enabled by default for those markdown flavors that support reading shortcut reference links, namely:markdown
,markdown_strict
,markdown_github
,markdown_php
. If the extension is enabled, the reader parses shortcut reference links like[foo]
, and the writer creates such links unless doing so would cause problems. Users of markdown flavors that support shortcut reference links should not notice a difference in reading markdown, but the markdown pandoc produces may differ. If shortcut links are not desired, the extension can be disabled in the normal way.
Behavior changes
-
--toc
is now supported fordocx
output (#458, Nikolay Yakimov). A “dirty” TOC is created at the beginning of document. It can be regenerated after the document has been opened. -
An implicit
--filter pandoc-citeproc
is now triggered only when the--bibliography
option is used, and not when thebibliography
field in metadata is specified (#1849). -
Markdown reader:
-
Reference links with
implicit_header_references
are no longer case-sensitive (#1606). -
Definition lists no longer require indentation for first line (#2087). Previously the body of the definition (after the
:
or~
marker) needed to be in column 4. This commit relaxes that requirement, to better match the behavior of PHP Markdown Extra. So, now this is a valid definition list:foo : bar
-
Resolve a potentially ambiguity with table captions:
foo : bar ----- table -----
Is “bar” a definition, or the caption for the table? We’ll count it as a caption for the table.
-
Disallow headerless pipe tables (#1996), to conform to GFM and PHP Markdown Extra. Note: If you have been using headerless pipe tables, this change may cause existing tables to break.
-
Allow pipe tables with header but no body (#2017).
-
Allow a digit as first character of a citation key (Matthias Troffaes). See https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-citeproc/issues/97
-
-
LaTeX reader:
- Don’t limit includes to
.tex
extension (#1882). If the extension is not.tex
, it must be given explicitly in the\input
or\include
.
- Don’t limit includes to
-
Docx reader:
- Allow numbering in the style file. This allows inherited styles with numbering (lists) (Jesse Rosenthal).
-
Org reader:
- Support smart punctuation (Craig Bosma).
- Drop trees with a :noexport: tag (Albert Krewinkel). Trees having a
:noexport:
tag set are not exported. This mirrors org-mode. - Put header tags into empty spans (Albert Krewinkel, #2160).
Org mode allows headers to be tagged:
* Headline :TAG1:TAG2
. Instead of being interpreted as part of the headline, the tags are now put into the attributes of empty spans. Spans without textual content won’t be visible by default, but they are detectable by filters. They can also be styled using CSS when written as HTML. - Generalize code block result parsing (Albert Krewinkel). Previously, only code blocks were recognized as result blocks; now, any kind of block can be the result.
-
Append newline to the LineBreak in Dokuwiki, HTML, EPUB, LaTeX, MediaWiki, OpenDocument, Texinfo writers (#1924, Tim Lin).
-
HTML writer:
- Add “inline” or “display” class to math spans (#1914). This allows inline and display math to be styled differently.
- Include raw latex blocks if
--mathjax
specified (#1938). - Require highlighting-kate >= 0.5.14 (#1903).
This ensures that all code blocks will be wrapped in a
div
with classsourceCode
. Also, the default highlighting CSS now addsdiv.sourceCode { x-overflow: auto; }
, which means that code blocks (even with line numbers) will acquire a scroll bar on screens too small to display them (e.g. mobile phones). See also jgm/highlighting-kate#65.
-
LaTeX writer:
- Use a declaration for tight lists (Jose Luis Duran, Joseph Harriott). Previously, pandoc hard-coded some commands to make tight lists in LaTeX. Now we use a custom command instead, allowing the styling to be changed in a macro in the header. (Note: existing templates may need to be modified to include the definition of this macro. See the current template.)
- Beamer output: if the header introducing a slide has the
class
fragile
, add the[fragile]
option to the slide (#2119).
-
MediaWiki writer:
- Use
File:
instead of the deprecatedImage:
for images and other media files (Greg Rundlett).
- Use
-
DocBook writer:
- Render a
Div (id,_,_) [Para _]
element as apara
element with anid
attribute. This makes links to citations work in DocBook with pandoc-citeproc.
- Render a
-
RST writer:
- Normalize headings to sequential levels (Nikolay Yakimov). This is pretty much required by docutils.
- Treat headings in block quotes, etc as rubrics (Nikolay Yakimov).
- Better handling of raw latex inline (#1961). We use
:raw-latex:`...`
and add a definition for this role to the template.
-
EPUB writer:
- Remove
linear=no
from coveritemref
(#1609). - Don’t use
sup
element for epub footnotes (#1995). Instead, just use an a element with classfootnoteRef
. This allows more styling options, and provides better results in some readers (e.g. iBooks, where anything inside the a tag breaks popup footnotes). - Take TOC title from
toc-title
metadata field.
- Remove
-
Docx writer:
- Implemented
FirstParagraph
style (Jesse Rosenthal). Following the ODT writer, we add theFirstParagraph
style to the first text paragraph following an image, blockquote, table, heading, or beginning of document. This allows it to be styled differently. The default is for it to be the same asNormal
. - Added
BodyText
style (Jesse Rosenthal). We apply aBodyText
style to all unstyled paragraphs. This is, essentially, the same asNormal
, except that since not everything inherits fromBodyText
(the metadata won’t, for example, or the headers or footnote numbers), we can change the text in the body without having to make exceptions for everything. If we do want to change everything, we can still do it throughNormal
. - Altered
Blockquote
style slightly (Jesse Rosenthal). SinceBlockQuote
derives fromBodyText
, we just want to specify by default that it won’t indent, regardless of whatBodyText
does. Note that this will not produce any visible difference in the default configuration. - Take TOC title from
toc-title
metadata field (Nikolay Yakimov). - Added a style to figure images (Nikolay Yakimov).
Figures with empty captions use style
Figure
. Figures with nonempty captions use styleFigure with Caption
, which is based onFigure
, and additionally haskeepNext
set.
- Implemented
-
ODT writer:
- Added figure captions (Nikolay Yakimov). The following styles are
used for figures:
Figure
– for figure with empty caption),FigureWithCaption
(based onFigure
) – for figure with caption,FigureCaption
(based onCaption
) – for figure captions. Also,TableCaption
(based onCaption
) is used for table captions.
- Added figure captions (Nikolay Yakimov). The following styles are
used for figures:
API changes

Bug fixes
-
Markdown reader:
- Allow smart
'
after inline math (#1909, Nikolay Yakimov). - Check for tex macros after indented code (#1973).
- Rewrote
charsInBalancedBrackets
for efficiency. - Make sure a closing
</div>
doesn’t get included in a definition list item (#2127). - Don’t parse bracketed text as citation if it might be a link, image, or footnote (Nikolay Yakimov).
- Require space after key in mmd title block (#2026, Nikolay Yakimov). Require space after key-value delimiter colon in mmd title block.
- Require nonempty value in mmd title block (Nikolay Yakimov).
- Disable all metadata block extensions when parsing metadata field values (#2026, Nikolay Yakimov). Otherwise we could get a mmd title block inside YAML metadata, for example.
- Allow smart
-
HTML reader:
- Improve self-closing tag detection in
htmlInBalanced
(#2146). - Handle tables with
<th>
in body rows (#1859, mb21). - Fixed
htmlTag
(#1820). If the tag parses as a comment, we check to see if the input starts with<!--
. If not, it’s bogus comment mode and we failhtmlTag
. - Handle
base
tag; if it has anhref
value, this is added to all relative URLs in links and images.
- Improve self-closing tag detection in
-
DocBook reader:
- Look inside “info” elements for section titles (#1931).
-
Docx reader:
- Parse images in deprecated vml format (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Allow sub/superscript verbatims (Jesse Rosenthal). Verbatim usually shuts off all other run styles, but we don’t want it to shut off sub/superscript.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Handle
tabular*
environment (#1850). Note that the table width is not actually parsed or taken into account, but pandoc no longer chokes on it. - Ignore options in
\lstinline
rather than raising error (#1997). - Add some test cases for simple tables (Mathias Schenner).
- Handle valign argument in tables (Mathias Schenner) (currently we just ignore this).
- Allow non-empty colsep in tables (Mathias Schenner).
The
tabular
environment allows non-empty column separators with the “@{…}” syntax. Previously, pandoc would fail to parse tables if a non-empty colsep was present. With this commit, these separators are still ignored, but the table gets parsed. A test case is included. - Recognize
\newpage
as a block command. - Allow block content in
\title{}
(#2001). - Check for block-level newcommand aliases in blockCommand (Nikolay Yakimov).
- Guard against paragraph starting with inline macro (Nikolay Yakimov).
- Properly gobble spaces after
\\
(#2007).
- Handle
-
Textile reader:
- Handle newlines in table cells, and empty cells (#1919).
-
Org reader:
- Allow image links with non-image targets (Hans-Peter Deifel).
This matches behavior of Org-Mode for links like
[[http://example.com][https://www.haskell.org/static/img/logo.png]]
.
- Allow image links with non-image targets (Hans-Peter Deifel).
This matches behavior of Org-Mode for links like
-
Docbook writer:
- Don’t print empty id attributes (thanks to Steve Horne).
-
HTML writer:
- Fixed list-style-type for numbered example lists. Should be “decimal,” not “example” (#1902).
- Do not omit missing
alt
attribute onimg
tag (#1131, Konstantin Zudov). - Allow multiple colgroups in table (#2122).
- In revealjs, ensure that lists in speaker notes don’t add “fragment” classes, which can cause additional keypresses to be needed to advance a slide (#1394).
-
LaTeX writer:
- Don’t escape
$
in URL (#1913). - Don’t use listings in headers (Matthew Pickering, #1963).
- Recognize book documentclass if set in metadata (#1971).
This sets
--chapters
implicitly if the documentclass in metadata is a book documentclass. Previously this was done only if a book documentclass was set in a variable. - Add a
\label
in\hyperdef
for Div, Span (or links don’t work). - Make
mainlang
work whenlang
is in metadata (#2174).
- Don’t escape
-
Texinfo writer:
- Fix wrapping by using breakable spaces (Tim Lin).
-
RST writer:
- Fixed toc depth in RST writer. Previously the depth was being rendered as a floating point number with a decimal point.
-
Markdown writer:
- Improved escaping (#2086).
<
should not be escaped as\<
, for compatibility with original Markdown. We now escape<
and>
with entities. Also, we now backslash-escape square brackets. - Avoid introducing spurious list items through wrapping (#1946).
- Don’t emit span tags if plain or raw HTML disabled.
- Improved escaping (#2086).
-
MediaWiki writer:
- Convert spaces to underscores in wikilink URL (#1982), like MediaWiki.
-
AsciiDoc writer:
- Insert some needed blank lines (#1860).
- Avoid wrapping after list marker (#1858).
-
EPUB writer:
- Properly handle internal links to IDs in spans, divs (#1884).
- Use plain writer for metadata dc: fields (#2121). This gives better results when we have, e.g. multiple paragraphs. Note that tags aren’t allowed in these fields.
- Properly handle image links without an extension (#1855).
- Improved chapter splitting and internal link rewriting (#1887, #2162, #2163). This will ensure that internal links work and that the references section produced by pandoc-citeproc is in its own chapter.
- Fixed handling of svg images (#2183).
-
ICML writer:
- Better handling of raw blocks and inlines (#1951).
Previously these were always escaped and printed verbatim.
Now they are ignored unless the format is
icml
, in which case they are passed through unescaped. - Fixed image URIs in ICML output (gohai).
- Better handling of raw blocks and inlines (#1951).
Previously these were always escaped and printed verbatim.
Now they are ignored unless the format is
-
Custom writer:
- Raise error if loadstring returns an error status.
- Raise
PandocLuaException
instead of using ‘error’. Eventually we’ll change the return type so that no exception is involved, but at least this can be trapped. - Use UTF-8 aware bytestring conversion.
- Set foreign encoding to UTF-8 (Nikolay Yakimov, #2101, #1634). Also factored out ByteString, since it’s only used as an intermediate representation.
-
Docx writer:
- Copy hyphenation settings from reference.docx (Nikolay Yakimov).
- Filter out illegal XML characters (#1992, Matthew Pickering).
- Added
noProof
to docx syntax highlightingSourceCode
style. - Added footnotes id -1 and 0 (Jesse Rosenthal).
Word uses, by default, footnotes with id -1 and 0 for separators. If a
user modifies
reference.docx
, they will end up with asettings.xml
file that references these footnotes, but no such footnotes in the document. This will produce a corruption error. Here we add these to the document andsettings.xml
file, so future modifications won’t break the file. - Handle lists correctly inside table cells (Jesse Rosenthal). Previously we didn’t transform lists inside table cells.
- Set firstRow information in tables (Nikolay Yakimov).
- Don’t replace
SourceCode
style inreference.docx
if it is defined there (Nikolay Yakimov, #1872). If--no-highlight
specified, remove anySourceCode
and*Tok
styles inreference.docx
. - Attempt to match international style names (#1607, Nikolay Yakimov).
- Set these styles as custom (Nikolay Yakimov):
Author
,Abstract
,Compact
,Image Caption
,Table Caption
,Definition Term
,Definition
,First Paragraph
. - Rename these styles to correspond with Word
Normal.dotm
(Nikolay Yakimov):Block Quote -> Block Text
,Link -> Hyperlink
,Footnote Ref -> Footnote Reference
. - Added
Caption
style (Nikolay Yakimov). - Changed these styles’ inheritance (Nikolay Yakimov):
Image Caption <- Caption
,Table Caption <- Caption
. - Remove
SourceCode
style fromreference.docx
(#1872). This is added automatically by the docx writer. - Added toc heading style to
reference.docx
(Nikolay Yakimov).
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF
- Don’t suggest “Try xelatex” if xelatex already in use (mb21, #1832).
- More comprehensible errors on image conversion (#2067). EPS can’t be supported without shelling out to something like ImageMagick, but at least we can avoid mysterious error messages.
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared
:- Make safeRead safe (#1801, Matthew Pickering).
- Added
mapLeft
,hush
(Matthew Pickering).
-
Text.Pandoc.Pretty
:- Remove partial function (Matthew Pickering).
-
Text.Pandoc.SelfContained
:- Add
;charset=utf-8
to script mime type if missing (#1842). - Improved building of data URIs (#1940). Now base64 is used except
for
text/*
mime types. cssURLs
no longer tries to fetch fragment URLs (#2121).- Properly handle data URIs in css urls (#2129).
Use a proper CSS parser (adds dependency on
text-css
).
- Add
-
Text.Pandoc.UTF8
:- Better handling of bare CRs in input files (#2132). Previously we just stripped them out; now we convert other line ending styles to LF line endings.
-
Text.Pandoc.ImageSize
:- Fixed some exif header parsing bugs (#1834).
- Make imageSize return an Either, not a Maybe (#1834).
Use
runGetOrFail
(withbinary >= 0.7
) to returnLeft
on parse failure (rather thanerror
). - Improved warnings when image size can’t be determined.
- Removed error landmines (Matthew Pickering).
-
Added woff2 to MIME types (Alfred Wechselberger).
-
pandoc: When a binary input format is used, warn that file arguments past the first one are being ignored (Matthew Pickering).
Template changes
-
LaTeX template:
- Degrade gracefully if
\paragraph
not defined. - Include
grffile
together withgraphicx
(#2074). This properly handles filenames containing spaces and dots. - Redefine
\paragraph
,\subparagraph
… to behave more like section headers (#1658). - Import hyperref before polyglossia to avoid an error with xelatex, “please load package hyperref before bidi package” (Nick Bart).
- Added
toccolor
variable to control link color in toc (Kaixhin).
- Degrade gracefully if
-
LaTeX, Beamer templates:
- Provide
\tightlist
, which is now used by the LaTeX writer. - Use polyglossia in beamer (#85).
- Use
bibliography
instead ofbiblio-files
(#1661). Also use\addbibresource
instead of\bibliography
for biblatex. - Added
setotherlanguages
in polyglossia. This uses anotherlang
variable that is derived from a comma-separated list inlang
; the last language ismainlang
and the others areotherlang
.
- Provide
-
EPUB templates:
- Use
div
, notp
, for “rights” on title page. - Added header-includes, include-before, include-after (#1987).
- Use
-
OpenDocument template:
- Use
text:p
instead oftext:h
for title. Usingtext:h
causes problems with numbering. Closes #2059. Thanks to @nkalvi for diagnosing this.
- Use
-
reveal.js template:
- Link to non-minified css, js. The minified versions no longer ship with the library.
- Correctly include style CSS (#1949).
- New configurable options options:
center
,maxScale
,slideNuber
(Dmitry Smirnov, pandoc-templates#89). - Moved custom CSS after theme. This allows custom CSS to modify themes, instead of being replaced by them.
- Allow
center
to be set to false.
Under the hood improvements
-
Removed pre-built
reference.docx
andreference.odt
(Nikolay Yakimov). Instead the repository now includes the component text files, and the zipped binaries are built from these using a helper program,make-reference-files
. This should make maintenance of these components easier going forward. -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
:- Added new
<+?>
combinator (Nikolay Yakimov). - Added
stateHeaderKeys
toParserState
.
- Added new
-
make_deb.sh
fixes:- Detect architecture.
- Add Installed-Size to debian package control file (#1900).
- Use
fakeroot
to get permissions right. - Use
mkdir
andcp
instead ofinstall
. - Set permissions of directories to 755.
- Install in
/usr
rather than/usr/local
. - Compress man pages.
- Combine copyright files for
pandoc
,pandoc-citeproc
.
-
Added
Text.Pandoc.Compat.Locale
andold-locale
flag to assist with transition totime
1.5. -
Updated CONTRIBUTING.md with information about issue tags (Matthew Pickering).
-
Updated travis installs to the new sudo-less syntax (Tim Lin).
-
Updated dependency version bounds.
-
EPUB tests: don’t use
joinPath
, which varies across platforms. Instead, use a forward-slash to join paths, regardless of the platform. This matches the wayMediaBag
now works. -
Clarify JSON input and output in usage message (Caleb McDaniel).
-
Improved INSTALL instructions.
-
Always build man pages. Removed make-pandoc-man-pages flag.
-
Makefile: removed man target, now that we generate man pages by default.
-
README:
- Fixed typos (J. Lewis Muir).
- Added documentation on backtick_code_blocks (#2135, Nikolay Yakimov).
- Added note on in-field markup in biblio databases (Nick Bart).
- Fixed misleading example of raw HTML block.
- Various minor formatting and consistency fixes for the program options (Andreas Lööw).
- Made definition lists for options all “loose” for consistency.
- Added YAML biblio format to table, and note on
pandoc-citeproc
’s--bib2json
and--bib2yaml
options (Nick Bart). - Removed obsolete reference to
mods2yaml
(Nick Bart). - Added section on syntax highlighting.
- Documented
toccolor
variable.
pandoc 1.13.2.1 (2015-04-15)
-
Updated to build with ghc 7.10.1.
-
Bumped package upper bounds for filepath, blaze-html, blaze-markup.
pandoc 1.13.2 (2014-12-20)
-
TWiki Reader: add new new twiki reader (API chaneg, Alexander Sulfrian).
-
Markdown reader:
- Better handling of paragraph in div (#1591). Previously text that ended a div would be parsed as Plain unless there was a blank line before the closing div tag.
- Don’t treat a citation as a reference link label (#1763).
- Fix autolinks with following punctuation (#1811).
The price of this is that autolinked bare URIs can no longer
contain
>
characters, but this is not a big issue. - Fix
Ext_lists_without_preceding_blankline
bug (#1636, Artyom). - Allow
startnum
to work withoutfancy_lists
. Formerlypandoc -f markdown-fancy_lists+startnum
did not work properly.
-
RST reader (all Daniel Bergey):
-
Parse quoted literal blocks (#65). RST quoted literal blocks are the same as indented literal blocks (which pandoc already supports) except that the quote character is preserved in each line.
-
Parse RST class directives. The class directive accepts one or more class names, and creates a Div value with those classes. If the directive has an indented body, the body is parsed as the children of the Div. If not, the first block following the directive is made a child of the Div. This differs from the behavior of rst2xml, which does not create a Div element. Instead, the specified classes are applied to each child of the directive. However, most Pandoc Block constructors to not take an Attr argument, so we can’t duplicate this behavior.
-
Warn about skipped directives.
-
Literal role now produces Code. Code role should have “code” class.
-
Improved support for custom roles
- Added
sourceCode
to classes for:code:
role, and anything inheriting from it. - Add the name of the custom role to classes if the Inline constructor supports Attr.
- If the custom role directive does not specify a parent role,
inherit from the
:span:
role.
This differs somewhat from the
rst2xml.py
behavior. If a custom role inherits from another custom role, Pandoc will attach both roles’ names as classes.rst2xml.py
will only use the class of the directly invoked role (though in the case of inheriting from a:code:
role with a:language:
defined, it will also provide the inherited language as a class). - Added
-
Warn about ignored fields in role directives.
-
-
LaTeX reader:
- Parse label after caption into a span instead of inserting an additional paragraph of bracketed text (#1747).
- Parse math environments as inline when possible (#1821).
- Better handling of
\noindent
and\greektext
(#1783). - Handle
\texorpdfstring
more gracefully. - Handle
\cref
and\sep
(Wikiwide). - Support
\smartcite
and\Smartcite
from biblatex.
-
HTML reader:
- Retain display type of MathML output (#1719, Matthew Pickering).
- Recognise
<br>
tags inside<pre>
blocks (#1620, Matthew Pickering). - Make
embed
tag either block or inline (#1756).
-
DocBook reader:
- Handle
keycombo
,keycap
(#1815). - Get string content in inner tags for literal elements (#1816).
- Handle
menuchoice
elements better, with a>
between (#1817). - Include
id
on section headers (#1818). - Document/test “type” as implemented (Brian O’Sullivan).
- Add support for calloutlist and callout (Brian O’Sullivan). We treat a calloutlist as a bulleted list. This works well in practice.
- Add support for
classname
(Bryan O’Sullivan).
- Handle
-
Docx reader:
- Fix window path for image lookup (Jesse Rosenthal). Don’t use os-sensitive “combine”, since we always want the paths in our zip-archive to use forward-slashes.
- Single-item headers in ordered lists are headers (Jesse Rosenthal). When users number their headers, Word understands that as a single item enumerated list. We make the assumption that such a list is, in fact, a header.
- Rewrite rewriteLink to work with new headers (Jesse Rosenthal). There could be new top-level headers after making lists, so we have to rewrite links after that.
- Use polyglot header list (Jesse Rosenthal). We’re just keeping a list of header formats that different languages use as their default styles. At the moment, we have English, German, Danish, and French. We can continue to add to this. This is simpler than parsing the styles file, and perhaps less error-prone, since there seems to be some variations, even within a language, of how a style file will define headers.
- Remove header class properly in other langs (Jesse Rosenthal). When we encounter one of the polyglot header styles, we want to remove that from the par styles after we convert to a header. To do that, we have to keep track of the style name, and remove it appropriately.
- Account for external link URLs with anchors. Previously, if a URL had an anchor, the reader would incorrectly identify it as an internal link and return only the anchor as URL. (Caleb McDaniel)
- Fix for Issue #1692 (i18n styles) (Nikolay Yakimov).
-
Org reader:
-
Added state changing blanklines (Jesse Rosenthal). This allows us to emphasize at the beginning of a new paragraph (or, in general, after blank lines).
-
Fixed bug with bulleted lists:
- a
- b
- c
was being parsed as a list, even though an unindented
*
should make a heading. See http://orgmode.org/manual/Plain-lists.html#fn-1. -
Org reader: absolute, relative paths in link (#1741, Albert Krewinkel). The org reader was too restrictive when parsing links; some relative links and links to files given as absolute paths were not recognized correctly.
-
Org reader: allow empty links (jgm/gitit#471, Albert Krewinkel). This is important for use in gitit, which uses empty links for wikilinks.
-
Respect indent when parsing Org bullet lists (#1650, Timothy Humphries). Fixes issue with top-level bullet list parsing.
-
Fix indent issue for definition lists (Timothy Humphries, see #1650, #1698, #1680).
-
Parse multi-inline terms correctly in definition list (#1649, Matthew Pickering).
-
Fix rules for emphasis recognition (Albert Krewinkel). Things like
/hello,/
or/hi'/
were falsy recognized as emphasised strings. This is wrong, as,
and'
are forbidden border chars and may not occur on the inner border of emphasized text. -
Drop COMMENT document trees (Albert Krewinkel). Document trees under a header starting with the word
COMMENT
are comment trees and should not be exported. Those trees are dropped silently (#1678). -
Properly handle links to
file:target
(Albert Krewinkel). Org links like[[file:target][title]]
were not handled correctly, parsing the link target verbatim. The org reader is changed such that the leadingfile:
is dropped from the link target (see #756, #1812). -
Parse LaTeX-style MathML entities (#1657, Albert Krewinkel). Org supports special symbols which can be included using LaTeX syntax, but are actually MathML entities. Examples for this are
\nbsp
(non-breaking space),\Aacute
(the letter A with accent acute) or\copy
(the copyright sign ©)

EPUB reader:
- URI handling improvements. Now we outsource most of the work to

LaTeX writer:
- Use
\texorpdfstring
for section captions when needed (Vaclav Zeman). - Handle consecutive linebreaks (#1733).
- Protect graphics in headers (Jesse Rosenthal).
Graphics in
\section
/\subsection
etc titles need to be\protect
ed. - Put
~
before header in list item text (Jesse Rosenthal). Because of the built-in line skip, LaTeX can’t handle a section header as the first element in a list item. - Avoid using reserved characters as
\lstinline
delimiters (#1595). - Better handling of display math in simple tables (#1754). We convert display math to inline math in simple tables, since LaTeX can’t deal with display math in simple tables.
- Escape spaces in code (#1694, Bjorn Buckwalter).
- Use
-
MediaWiki writer:
- Fixed links with URL = text. Previously these were rendered as bare words, even if the URL was not an absolute URL (#1825).
-
ICML writer:
- Don’t force all citations into footnotes.
-
RTF writer:
- Add blankline at end of output (#1732, Matthew Pickering).
-
RST writer:
- Ensure blank line after figure.
- Avoid excess whitespace after last list item (#1777).
- Wrap line blocks with spaces before continuations (#1656).
- Fixed double-rendering of footnotes in RST tables (#1769).
-
DokuWiki writer:
- Better handling of block quotes. This change ensures that
multiple paragraph blockquotes are rendered using native
>
rather than as HTML (#1738). - Fix external images (#1739). Preface relative links with “:”, absolute URIs without. (Timothy Humphries)
- Better handling of block quotes. This change ensures that
multiple paragraph blockquotes are rendered using native
-
HTML writer:
- Use protocol-relative URL for mathjax.
- Put newline btw img and caption paragraph.
- MathML now outputted with tex annotation (#1635, Matthew Pickering).
- Add support for KaTeX HTML math (#1626, Matthew Pickering).
This adds
KaTeX
toHTMLMathMethod
(API change). - Don’t double render when
email-obfuscation=none
(#1625, Matthew Pickering). - Make header attributes work outside top level (#1711). Previously they only appeared on top level header elements. Now they work e.g. in blockquotes.
-
ODT writer:
- Correctly handle images without extensions (#1729).
- Strip querystring in ODT write (#1682, Todd Sifleet).
-
FB2 writer:
- Add newline to output.
-
EPUB writer:
- Don’t add
sourceURL
to absolute URIs (#1669). - Don’t use unsupported
opf:title-type
for epub2. - Include “landmarks” section in nav document for epub3 (#1757).
- Removed playOrder from navpoint elements in ncx file (#1760). These aren’t required, and they make manual modification of epubs difficult.
- Extract title even from structured title.
- Don’t include nav node in spine unless
--toc
was requested. Previously we included it in the spine withlinear="no"
, leading to odd results in some readers (#1593). - Fixed absolute URI detection (#1672).
- Correctly resolve relative URIs (#1671).
- Use regular page template for
nav.xhtml
, including doctype (#1759).
- Don’t add
-
Docx writer:
- Put docx table captions above tables (#1641, Nikolay Yakimov).
- Get the page width from the reference docx file, and use it to scale images that are too large to fit (Grégory Bataille).
- Partial fix for #1607 (Nikolay Yakimov). International heading styles
are inferred based on
<w:name val="heading #">
fallback, if there are no en-US “Heading#” styles - Look in user data dir for archive
reference.docx
. - Renumber header and footer relationships to avoid collisions (Jesse Rosenthal). We previously took the old relationship names of the headers and footer in secptr. That led to collisions. We now make a map of available names in the relationships file, and then rename in secptr.
-
ConTeXt writer:
- Add function toLabel (Mark Szepieniec). This function can be used to sanitize reference labels so that they do not contain any of the illegal characters #[]”,{}%()|= . Currently only Links have their labels sanitized, because they are the only Elements that use passed labels.

Templates:
-
LaTeX template: load polyglossia before bibtex (jgm/pandoc-templates#70). Thanks to bluebirch.
-
LaTeX template: Added
\VerbatimFootnotes
if there is verbatim in notes (#1616). -
LaTeX template: Add shorthands=off to babel options (#1648).
-
EPUB, EPUB3 templates: Added
id="cover"
to body of cover page. This aids styling, making it possible for example to set 0 margins on the title page (#1758). -
EPUB, EPUB3 templates: Handle structured metadata on titlepage. Previously we just expected ‘title’, ‘subtitle’, ‘author’, ‘date’. Now we still support those, but also support the format recommended for epub metadata in the pandoc README:

- type: subtitle text: An investigation of metadata creator:
- role: author text: John Smith
- role: editor text: Sarah Jones identifier:

pandoc 1.13.1 (2014-08-30)
-
Fixed
--self-contained
with Windows paths (#1558). PreviouslyC:\foo.js
was being wrongly interpreted as a URI. -
HTML reader: improved handling of tags that can be block or inline. Previously a section like this would be enclosed in a paragraph, with RawInline for the video tags (since video is a tag that can be either block or inline):
<video controls="controls"> <source src="../videos/test.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> <source src="../videos/test.webm" type="video/webm" /> <p> The videos can not be played back on your system.<br/> Try viewing on Youtube (requires Internet connection): <a href="http://youtu.be/etE5urBps_w">Relative Velocity on Youtube</a>. </p> </video>
This change will cause the video and source tags to be parsed as RawBlock instead, giving better output. The general change is this: when we’re parsing a “plain” sequence of inlines, we don’t parse anything that COULD be a block-level tag.
-
Docx reader:
- Be sensitive to user styles. Note that “Hyperlink” is “blacklisted,” as we don’t want the default underline styling to be inherited by all links by default (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Read single paragraph in table cell as
Plain
(Jesse Rosenthal). This makes to docx reader’s native output fit with the way the markdown reader understands its markdown output.
-
Txt2Tags reader:
- Header is now parsed only if standalone flag is set (Matthew Pickering).
- The header is now parsed as meta information. The first line is the
title
, the second is theauthor
and third line is thedate
(Matthew Pickering). - Corrected formatting of
%%mtime
macro (Matthew Pickering). - Fixed crash when reading from stdin.
-
Textile writer: Extended the range of cases where native textile tables will be used (as opposed to raw HTML): we now handle any alignment type, but only for simple tables with no captions.
-
EPUB writer: Don’t use page-progression-direction in EPUB2, which doesn’t support it. Also, if page-progression-direction not specified in metadata, don’t include the attribute even in EPUB3; not including it is the same as including it with the value “default”, as we did before. (#1550)
-
Org writer: Accept example lines with indentation at the beginning (Calvin Beck).
-
DokuWiki writer:
- Refactor to use Reader monad (Matthew Pickering).
- Avoid using raw HTML in table cells; instead, use
\\
instead of newlines (Jesse Rosenthal). - Properly handle HTML table cell alignments, and use spacing to make the tables look prettier (#1566).
-
Docx writer:
- Bibliography entries get
Bibliography
style (#1559). - Implement change tracking (Jesse Rosenthal).
- Bibliography entries get
-
LaTeX writer:
- Fixed a bug that caused a table caption to repeat across all pages (Jose Luis Duran).
- Improved vertical spacing in tables and made it customizable using standard lengths set by booktab. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/pandoc-discuss/qMu6_5lYy0o/ZAU7lzAIKw0J (Jose Luis Duran).
- Added
\strut
to fix spacing in multiline tables (Jose Luis Duran). - Use
\tabularnewline
instead of\\
in table cells (Jose Luis Duran). - Made horizontal rules more flexible (Jose Luis Duran).
-
Text.Pandoc.MIME:
- Added
MimeType
(type synonym forString
) andgetMimeTypeDef
. Code cleanups (Artyom Kazak).
- Added

Templates:
- LaTeX template: disable microtype protrusion for typewriter font (#1549, thanks lemzwerg).

fromnetwork
. -
Fix build dependencies for the
trypandoc
flag, so that they are ignored iftrypandoc
flag is set to False (Gabor Pali). -
Updated README to remove outdated claim that
--self-contained
looks in the user data directory for missing files.
pandoc 1.13.0.1 (2014-08-17)
-
Docx writer:
- Fixed regression which bungled list numbering (#1544), causing all lists to appear as basic ordered lists.
- Include row width in table rows (Christoffer Ackelman, Viktor Kronvall). Added a property to all table rows where the sum of column widths is specified in pct (fraction of 5000). This helps persuade Word to lay out the table with the widths we specify.
-
Fixed a bug in Windows 8 which caused pandoc not to find the
pandoc-citeproc
filter (#1542). -
Docx reader: miscellaneous under-the-hood improvements (Jesse Rosenthal). Most significantly, the reader now uses Builder, leading to some performance improvements.
-
HTML reader: Parse appropriately styled span as SmallCaps.
-
Markdown writer: don’t escape
$
,^
,~
whentex_math_dollars
,superscript
, andsubscript
extensions, respectively, are deactivated (#1127). -
Added
trypandoc
flag to build CGI executable used in the online demo. -
Makefile: Added ‘quick’, ‘osxpkg’ targets.
-
Updated README in templates to indicate templates license. The templates are dual-licensed, BSD3 and GPL2+.
pandoc 1.13 (15 August 2014)
New features
-
Added
docx
as an input format (Jesse Rosenthal). The docx reader includes conversion of native Word equations to pandoc LaTeXMath
elements. Metadata is taken from paragraphs at the beginning of the document with stylesAuthor
,Title
,Subtitle
,Date
, andAbstract
. -
Added
epub
as an input format (Matthew Pickering). The epub reader includes conversion of MathML to pandoc LaTeXMath
elements. -
Added
t2t
(Txt2Tags) as an input format (Matthew Pickering). Txt2tags is a lightweight markup format described at http://txt2tags.org/. -
Added
dokuwiki
as an output format (Clare Macrae). -
Added
haddock
as an output format. -
Added
--extract-media
option to extract media contained in a zip container (docx or epub) while adjusting image paths to point to the extracted images. -
Added a new markdown extension,
compact_definition_lists
, that restores the syntax for definition lists of pandoc 1.12.x, allowing tight definition lists with no blank space between items, and disallowing lazy wrapping. (See below under behavior changes.) -
Added an extension
epub_html_exts
for parsing HTML in EPUBs. -
Added extensions
native_spans
andnative_divs
to activate parsing of material in HTML span or div tags as Pandoc Span inlines or Div blocks. -
--trace
now works with the Markdown, HTML, Haddock, EPUB, Textile, and MediaWiki readers. This is an option intended for debugging parsing problems; ordinary users should not need to use it.
Behavior changes
-
Changed behavior of the
markdown_attribute
extension, to bring it in line with PHP markdown extra and multimarkdown. Settingmarkdown="1"
on an outer tag affects all contained tags, recursively, until it is reversed withmarkdown="0"
(#1378). -
Revised markdown definition list syntax (#1429). Both the reader and writer are affected. This change brings pandoc’s definition list syntax into alignment with that used in PHP markdown extra and multimarkdown (with the exception that pandoc is more flexible about the definition markers, allowing tildes as well as colons). Lazily wrapped definitions are now allowed. Blank space is required between list items. The space before a definition is used to determine whether it is a paragraph or a “plain” element. WARNING: This change may break existing documents! Either check your documents for definition lists without blank space between items, or use
markdown+compact_definition_lists
for the old behavior. -
.numberLines
now works in fenced code blocks even if no language is given (#1287, jgm/highlighting-kate#40). -
Improvements to
--filter
:- Don’t search PATH for a filter with an explicit path.
This fixed a bug wherein
--filter ./caps.py
would runcaps.py
from the system path, even if there was acaps.py
in the working directory. - Respect shebang if filter is executable (#1389).
- Don’t print misleading error message. Previously pandoc would say that a filter was not found, even in a case where the filter had a syntax error.
- Don’t search PATH for a filter with an explicit path.
This fixed a bug wherein
-
HTML reader:
- Parse
div
andspan
elements even without--parse-raw
, providednative_divs
andnative_spans
extensions are set. Motivation: these now generate native pandoc Div and Span elements, not raw HTML. - Parse EPUB-specific elements if the
epub_html_exts
extension is enabled. These includeswitch
,footnote
,rearnote
,noteref
.
- Parse
-
Org reader:
- Support for inline LaTeX. Inline LaTeX is now accepted and parsed by the
org-mode reader. Both math symbols (like
\tau
) and LaTeX commands (like\cite{Coffee}
), can be used without any further escaping (Albert Krewinkel).
- Support for inline LaTeX. Inline LaTeX is now accepted and parsed by the
org-mode reader. Both math symbols (like

Revised
plain
output, largely following the style of Project Gutenberg:- Emphasis is rendered with
_underscores_
, strong emphasis with ALL CAPS. - Headings are rendered differently, with space to set them off, not with setext style underlines. Level 1 headers are ALL CAPS.
- Math is rendered using unicode when possible, but without the distracting emphasis markers around variables.
- Footnotes use a regular
[n]
style.
- Emphasis is rendered with
-
Markdown writer:
- Horizontal rules are now a line across the whole page.
- Prettier pipe tables. Columns are now aligned (#1323).
- Respect the
raw_html
extension.pandoc -t markdown-raw_html
no longer emits any raw HTML, including span and div tags generated by Span and Div elements. - Use span with style for
SmallCaps
(#1360).
-
HTML writer:
- Autolinks now have class
uri
, and email autolinks have classemail
, so they can be styled.
- Autolinks now have class
-
Docx writer:
- Document formatting is carried over from
reference.docx
. This includes margins, page size, page orientation, header, and footer, including images in headers and footers. - Include abstract (if present) with
Abstract
style (#1451). - Include subtitle (if present) with
Subtitle
style, rather than tacking it on to the title (#1451).
- Document formatting is carried over from
-
Org writer:
- Write empty span elements with an id attribute as org anchors.
For example
Span ("uid",[],[]) []
becomes<<uid>>
.
- Write empty span elements with an id attribute as org anchors.
For example
-
LaTeX writer:
- Put table captions above tables, to match the conventional standard. (Previously they appeared below tables.)
- Use
\(..\)
instead of$..$
for inline math (#1464). - Use
\nolinkurl
in email autolinks. This allows them to be styled using\urlstyle{tt}
. Thanks to Ulrike Fischer for the solution. - Use
\textquotesingle
for'
in inline code. Otherwise we get curly quotes in the PDF output (#1364). - Use
\footnote<.>{..}
for notes in beamer, so that footnotes do not appear before the overlays in which their markers appear (#1525). - Don’t produce a
\label{..}
for a Div or Span element. Do produce a\hyperdef{..}
(#1519).
-
EPUB writer:
- If the metadata includes
page-progression-direction
(which can beltr
orrtl
, thepage-progression-direction
attribute will be set in the EPUB spine (#1455).
- If the metadata includes
-
Custom lua writers:
- Custom writers now work with
--template
. - Removed HTML header scaffolding from
sample.lua
. - Made citation information available in lua writers.
- Custom writers now work with
-
--normalize
andText.Pandoc.Shared.normalize
now consolidate adjacentRawBlock
s when possible.

Bug fixes
-
Markdown reader:
- Fixed parsing of indented code in list items. Indented code at the beginning of a list item must be indented eight spaces from the margin (or edge of the container), or four spaces from the list marker, whichever is greater.
- Fixed small bug in HTML parsing with
markdown_attribute
, which caused incorrect tag nesting for input like<aside markdown="1">*hi*</aside>
. - Fixed regression with intraword underscores (#1121).
- Improved parsing of inline links containing quote characters (#1534).
- Slight rewrite of
enclosure
/emphOrStrong
code. - Revamped raw HTML block parsing in markdown (#1330).
We no longer include trailing spaces and newlines in the
raw blocks. We look for closing tags for elements (but without
backtracking). Each block-level tag is its own
RawBlock
; we no longer try to consolidate them (though--normalize
will do so). - Combine consecutive latex environments. This helps when you have two minipages which can’t have blank lines between them (#690, #1196).
- Support smallcaps through span.
<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">foo</span>
will be parsed as aSmallCaps
inline, and will work in all output formats that support small caps (#1360). - Prevent spurious line breaks after list items (#1137). When the
hard_line_breaks
option was specified, pandoc would formerly produce a spurious line break after a tight list item. - Fixed table parsing bug (#1333).
- Handle
c++
andobjective-c
as language identifiers in github-style fenced blocks (#1318). - Inline math must have nonspace before final
$
(#1313).
-
LaTeX reader:
- Handle comments at the end of tables. This resolves the issue illustrated in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24009489.
- Correctly handle table rows with too few cells. LaTeX seems to treat them as if they have empty cells at the end (#241).
- Handle leading/trailing spaces in
\emph
better.\emph{ hi }
gets parsed as[Space, Emph [Str "hi"], Space]
so that we don’t get things like* hi *
in markdown output. Also applies totextbf
and some other constructions (#1146). - Don’t assume preamble doesn’t contain environments (#1338).
- Allow (and discard) optional argument for
\caption
(James Aspnes).
-
HTML reader:
- Fixed major parsing problem with HTML tables. Table cells were being combined into one cell (#1341).
- Fixed performance issue with malformed HTML tables.
We let a
</table>
tag close an open<tr>
or<td>
(#1167). - Allow space between
<col>
and</col>
. - Added
audio
andsource
ineitherBlockOrInline
. - Moved

,script
,noscript
,svg
fromblockTags
toeitherBlockOrInline
. map
andobject
were mistakenly in both lists; they have been removed fromblockTags
.- Ignore
DOCTYPE
andxml
declarations.
-
MediaWiki reader:
- Don’t parse backslash escapes inside
<source>
(#1445). - Tightened up template parsing.
The opening
{{
must be followed by an alphanumeric or:
. This prevents the exponential slowdown in #1033. - Support “Bild” for images.
- Don’t parse backslash escapes inside
-
DocBook reader:
- Better handle elements inside code environments. Pandoc’s document model does not allow structure inside code blocks, but at least this way we preserve the text (#1449).
- Support
<?asciidoc-br?>
(#1236).
-
Textile reader:
- Fixed list parsing. Lists can now start without an intervening blank line (#1513).
- HTML block-level tags that do not start a line are parsed as inline HTML and do not interrupt paragraphs (as in RedCloth).
-
Org reader:
- Make tildes create inline code (#1345). Also relabeled
code
andverbatim
parsers to accord with the org-mode manual. - Respect
:exports
header argument in code blocks (Craig Bosma). - Fixed tight lists with sublists (#1437).
- Make tildes create inline code (#1345). Also relabeled
-
EPUB writer:
- Avoid excess whitespace in
nav.xhtml
. This should improve TOC view in iBooks (#1392). - Fixed regression on cover image. In 1.12.4 and 1.12.4.2, the cover image would not appear properly, because the metadata id was not correct. Now we derive the id from the actual cover image filename, which we preserve rather than using “cover-image.”
- Keep newlines between block elements. This allows easier diff-ability (#1424).
- Use
stringify
instead of customplainify
. - Use
renderTags'
for all tag rendering. This properly handles tags that should be self-closing. Previously<hr/>
would appear in EPUB output as<hr></hr>
(#1420). - Better handle HTML media tags.
- Handle multiple dates with OPF
event
attributes. Note: in EPUB3 we can have only one dc:date, so only the first one is used.
- Avoid excess whitespace in
-
LaTeX writer:
- Correctly handle figures in notes. Notes can’t contain figures in LaTeX, so we fake it to avoid an error (#1053).
- Fixed strikeout + highlighted code (#1294). Previously strikeout highlighted code caused an error.
-
ConTeXt writer:
- Improved detection of autolinks with URLs containing escapes.
-
RTF writer:
- Improved image embedding:
fetchItem'
is now used to get the images, and calculated image sizes are indicated in the RTF. - Avoid extra paragraph tags in metadata (#1421).
- Improved image embedding:
-
HTML writer:
- Deactivate “incremental” inside slide speaker notes (#1394).
- Don’t include empty items in the table of contents for slide shows. (These would result from creating a slide using a horizontal rule.)
-
MediaWiki writer:
- Minor renaming of
st
prefixed names.
- Minor renaming of
-
AsciiDoc writer:
- Double up emphasis and strong emphasis markers in intraword contexts, as required by asciidoc (#1441).
-
Markdown writer:
- Avoid wrapping that might start a list, blockquote, or header (#1013).
- Use Span instead of (hackish)
SmallCaps
inplainify
. - Don’t use braced attributes for fenced code (#1416).
If
Ext_fenced_code_attributes
is not set, the first class attribute will be printed after the opening fence as a bare word. - Separate adjacent lists of the same kind with an HTML comment (#1458).
-
PDF writer:
- Fixed treatment of data uris for images (#1062).
-
Docx writer:
- Use Compact style for empty table cells (#1353). Otherwise we get overly tall lines when there are empty table cells and the other cells are compact.
- Create overrides per-image for
media/
in reference docx. This should be somewhat more robust and cover more types of images. - Improved
entryFromArchive
to avoid an unneeded parse. - Section numbering carries over from reference.docx (#1305).
- Simplified
abstractNumId
numbering. Instead of sequential numbering, we assign numbers based on the list marker styles.
-
Text.Pandoc.Options
:- Removed
Ext_fenced_code_attributes
frommarkdown_github
extensions.
- Removed
-
Text.Pandoc.ImageSize
:- Use default instead of failing if image size not found in exif header (#1358).
- ignore unknown exif header tag rather than crashing. Some images seem to have tag type of 256, which was causing a runtime error.
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared
:fetchItem
: unescape URI encoding before reading local file (#1427).fetchItem
: strip a fragment like?#iefix
from the extension before doing mime lookup, to improve mime type guessing.- Improved logic of
fetchItem
: absolute URIs are fetched from the net; other things are treated as relative URIs ifsourceURL
isJust _
, otherwise as file paths on the local file system. fetchItem
now properly handles links without a protocol (#1477).fetchItem
now escapes characters not allowed in URIs before trying to parse the URIs.- Fixed runtime error with
compactify'DL
on certain lists (#1452).
-
pandoc.hs
: Don’t strip path off ofwriterSourceURL
: the path is needed to resolve relative URLs when we fetch resources (#750). -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
- Simplified
dash
andellipsis
(#1419). - Removed
(>>~)
in favor of the equivalent(<*)
(Matthew Pickering). - Generalized functions to use
ParsecT
(Matthew Pickering). - Added
isbn
andpmid
to list of recognized schemes (Matthew Pickering).
- Simplified
Template changes
- Added haddock template.
- EPUB3: Added
type
attribute tolink
tags. They are supposed to be “advisory” in HTML5, but kindlegen seems to require them. - EPUB3: Put title page in section with
epub:type="titlepage"
. - LaTeX: Made
\subtitle
work properly (#1327). - LaTeX/Beamer: remove conditional around date (#1321).
- LaTeX: Added
lot
andlof
variables, which can be set to get\listoftables
and\listoffigures
(#1407). Note that these variables can be set at the command line with-Vlot -Vlof
or in YAML metadata.
Under the hood improvements
-
Rewrote normalize for efficiency (#1385).
-
Rewrote Haddock reader to use
haddock-library
(#1346).- This brings pandoc’s rendering of haddock markup in line with the new haddock.
- Fixed line breaks in
@
code blocks. - alex and happy are no longer build-depends.
-
Added
Text.Pandoc.Compat.Directory
to allow building against different versions of thedirectory
library.
- Added
Text.Pandoc.Compat.Except
to allow building against different versions ofmtl
.
-
Code cleanup in some writers, using Reader monad to avoid passing options parameter around (Matej Kollar).
-
Improved readability in
pandoc.hs
. -
Miscellaneous code cleanups (Artyom Kazak).
-
Avoid
import Prelude hiding (catch)
(#1309, thanks to Michael Thompson). -
Changed
http-conduit
flag tohttps
. Depend onhttp-client
andhttp-client-tls
instead ofhttp-conduit
. (Note: pandoc still depends onconduit
viayaml
.) -
Require
highlighting-kate >= 0.5.8.5
(#1271, #1317, Debian #753299). This change to highlighting-kate means that PHP fragments no longer need to start with<?php
. It also fixes a serious bug causing failures with ocaml and fsharp. -
Require latest
texmath
. This fixes\tilde{E}
and allows\left
to be used with]
,)
etc. (#1319), among many other improvements. -
Require latest
zip-archive
. This has fixes for unicode path names. -
Added tests for plain writer.
-
Text.Pandoc.Templates
:- Fail informatively on template syntax errors. With the move from parsec to attoparsec, we lost good error reporting. In fact, since we weren’t testing for end of input, malformed templates would fail silently. Here we revert back to Parsec for better error messages.
- Use
ordNub
(#1022).
-
Benchmarks:
- Made benchmarks compile again (Artyom Kazak).
- Fixed so that the failure of one benchmark does not prevent others from running (Artyom Kazak).
- Use
nfIO
instead of thegetLength
trick to force full evaluation. - Changed benchmark to use only the test suite, so that benchmarks run more quickly.
-
Windows build script:
- Add
-windows
to file name. - Use one install command for pandoc, pandoc-citeproc.
- Force install of pandoc-citeproc.
- Add
-
make_osx_package
: Call zip filepandoc-VERSION-osx.zip
. The zip should not be namedSOMETHING.pkg.zip
, or OSX finder will extract it into a folder namedSOMETHING.pkg
, which it will interpret as a defective package (#1308). -
README
:- Made headers for all extensions so they have IDs and can be linked to (Beni Cherniavsky-Paskin).
- Fixed typos (Phillip Alday).
- Fixed documentation of attributes (#1315).
- Clarified documentation on small caps (#1360).
- Better documentation for
fenced_code_attributes
extension (Caleb McDaniel). - Documented fact that you can put YAML metadata in a separate file (#1412).
pandoc 1.12.4.2 (2014-05-14)
-
Require highlighting-kate >= 0.5.8. Fixes a performance regression.
-
Shared:
addMetaValue
now behaves slightly differently: if both the new and old values are lists, it concatenates their contents to form a new list. -
LaTeX reader:
- Set
bibliography
in metadata from\bibliography
or\addbibresource
command. - Don’t error on
%foo
with no trailing newline.
- Set
-
Org reader:
- Support code block headers (
#+BEGIN_SRC ...
) (Albert Krewinkel). - Fix parsing of blank lines within blocks (Albert Krewinkel).
- Support pandoc citation extension (Albert Krewinkel). This can
be turned off by specifying
org-citation
as the input format.
- Support code block headers (
-
Markdown reader:
citeKey
moved toText.Pandoc.Parsing
so it can be used by other readers (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
:- Added
citeKey
(see above). - Added
HasLastStrPosition
type class andupdateLastStrPos
andnotAfterString
functions.
- Added
-
Updated copyright notices (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Added default.icml to data files so it installs with the package.
-
OSX package:
- The binary is now built with options to ensure that it can be used with OSX 10.6+.
- Moved OSX package materials to osx directory.
- Added OSX package uninstall script, included in the zip container (thanks to Daniel T. Staal).
pandoc 1.12.4 (2014-05-07)
-
Made it possible to run filters that aren’t executable (#1096). Pandoc first tries to find the executable (searching the path if path isn’t given). If it fails, but the file exists and has a
.py
,.pl
,.rb
,.hs
, or.php
extension, pandoc runs the filter using the appropriate interpreter. This should make it easier to use filters on Windows, and make it more convenient for everyone. -
Added Emacs org-mode reader (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Added InDesign ICML Writer (mb21).
-
MediaWiki reader:
- Accept image links in more languages (Jaime Marquínez Ferrándiz).
- Fixed bug in certain nested lists (#1213). If a level 2 list was followed by a level 1 list, the first item of the level 1 list would be lost.
- Handle table rows containing just an HTML comment (#1230).
-
LaTeX reader:
- Give better location information on errors, pointing to line numbers within included files (#1274).
- LaTeX reader: Better handling of
table
environment (#1204). Positioning options no longer rendered verbatim. - Better handling of figure and table with caption (#1204).
- Handle
@{}
andp{length}
in tabular. The length is not actually recorded, but at least we get a table (#1180). - Properly handle
\nocite
. It now adds anocite
metadata field. Citations there will appear in the bibliography but not in the text (unless you explicitly put a$nocite$
variable in your template).
-
Markdown reader:
- Ensure that whole numbers in YAML metadata are rendered without decimal points. (This became necessary with changes to aeson and yaml libraries. aeson >= 0.7 and yaml >= 0.8.8.2 are now required.)
- Fixed regression on line breaks in strict mode (#1203).
- Small efficiency improvements.
- Improved parsing of nested
div
s. Formerly a closingdiv
tag would be missed if it came right after other block-level tags. - Avoid backtracking when closing
</div>
not found. - Fixed bug in reference link parsing in
markdown_mmd
. - Fixed a bug in list parsing (#1154). When reading a raw list item, we now strip off up to 4 spaces.
- Fixed parsing of empty reference link definitions (#1186).
- Made one-column pipe tables work (#1218).
-
Textile reader:
- Better support for attributes. Instead of being ignored, attributes
are now parsed and included in Span inlines. The output will be a bit
different from stock textile: e.g. for
*(foo)hi*
, we’ll get<em><span class="foo">hi</span></em>
instead of<em class="foo">hi</em>
. But at least the data is not lost. - Improved treatment of HTML spans (%) (#1115).
- Improved link parsing. In particular we now pick up on attributes. Since pandoc links can’t have attributes, we enclose the whole link in a span if there are attributes (#1008).
- Implemented correct parsing rules for inline markup (#1175, Matthew Pickering).
- Use Builder (Matthew Pickering).
- Better support for attributes. Instead of being ignored, attributes
are now parsed and included in Span inlines. The output will be a bit
different from stock textile: e.g. for
-
DocBook reader:
- Better treatment of
formalpara
. We now emit the title (if present) as a separate paragraph with boldface text (#1215). - Set metadata
author
notauthors
. - Added recognition of
authorgroup
andreleaseinfo
elements (#1214, Matthew Pickering). - Converted current meta information parsing in DocBook to a more extensible version which is aware of the more recent meta representation (Matthew Pickering).
- Better treatment of
-
HTML reader:
- Require tagsoup 0.13.1, to fix a bug with parsing of script tags (#1248).
- Treat processing instructions & declarations as block. Previously these were treated as inline, and included in paragraph tags in HTML or DocBook output, which is generally not what is wanted (#1233).
- Updated
closes
with rules from HTML5 spec. - Use Builder (Matthew Pickering, #1162).
-
RST reader:
- Remove duplicate
http
in PEP links (Albert Krewinkel). - Make rst figures true figures (#1168, CasperVector)
- Enhanced Pandoc’s support for rST roles (Merijn Verstaaten). rST parser now supports: all built-in rST roles, new role definition, role inheritance, though with some limitations.
- Use
author
rather thanauthors
in metadata. - Better handling of directives. We now correctly handle field
lists that are indented more than three spaces. We treat an
aafig
directive as a code block with attributes, so it can be processed in a filter (#1212).
- Remove duplicate
-
LaTeX writer:
- Mark span contents with label if span has an ID (Albert Krewinkel).
- Made
--toc-depth
work well with books in latex/pdf output (#1210). - Handle line breaks in simple table cells (#1217).
- Workaround for level 4-5 headers in quotes. These previously produced
invalid LaTeX:
\paragraph
or\subparagraph
in aquote
environment. This adds anmbox{}
in these contexts to work around the problem. See http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/169833/22451 (#1221). - Use
\/
to avoid en-dash ligature instead of-{}-
(Vaclav Zeman). This is to fix LuaLaTeX output. The-{}-
sequence does not avoid the ligature with LuaLaTeX but\/
does. - Fixed string escaping in
hyperref
andhyperdef
(#1130).
-
ConTeXt writer: Improved autolinks (#1270).
-
DocBook writer:
- Improve handling of hard line breaks in Docbook writer
(Neil Mayhew). Use a
<literallayout>
for the entire paragraph, not just for the newline character. - Don’t let line breaks inside footnotes influence the enclosing paragraph (Neil Mayhew).
- Distinguish tight and loose lists in DocBook output, using
spacing="compact"
(Neil Mayhew, #1250).
- Improve handling of hard line breaks in Docbook writer
(Neil Mayhew). Use a
-
Docx writer: When needed files are not present in the user’s
reference.docx
, fall back on the versions in thereference.docx
in pandoc’s data files. This fixes a bug that occurs when areference.docx
saved by LibreOffice is used. (#1185) -
EPUB writer:
- Include extension in epub ids. This fixes a problem with duplicate extensions for fonts and images with the same base name but different extensions (#1254).
- Handle files linked in raw
img
tags (#1170). - Handle media in
audio
source tags (#1170). Note that we now use amedia
directory rather thanimages
. - Incorporate files linked in
video
tags (#1170).src
andposter
will both be incorporated intocontent.opf
and the epub container.
-
HTML writer:
- Add colgroup around col tags (#877). Also affects EPUB writer.
- Fixed bug with unnumbered section headings. Unnumbered section
headings (with class
unnumbered
) were getting numbers. - Improved detection of image links. Previously image links with
queries were not recognized, causing
<embed>
to be used instead of<img>
.
-
Man writer: Ensure that terms in definition lists aren’t line wrapped (#1195).
-
Markdown writer:
- Use proper escapes to avoid unwanted lists (#980). Previously we used 0-width spaces, an ugly hack.
- Use longer backtick fences if needed (#1206). If the content contains a backtick fence and there are attributes, make sure longer fences are used to delimit the code. Note: This works well in pandoc, but github markdown is more limited, and will interpret the first string of three or more backticks as ending the code block.
-
RST writer: Avoid stack overflow with certain tables (#1197).
-
RTF writer: Fixed table cells containing paragraphs.
-
Custom writer:
- Correctly handle UTF-8 in custom lua scripts (#1189).
- Fix bugs with lua scripts with mixed-case filenames and
paths containing
+
or-
(#1267). Note thatgetWriter
inText.Pandoc
no longer returns a custom writer on inputfoo.lua
.
-
AsciiDoc writer: Handle multiblock and empty table cells (#1245, #1246). Added tests.
-

: numbers ending with ‘9’ would be rendered as Roman numerals ending with ‘IXIV’ (#1249). Thanks to Jesse Rosenthal. openURL
: set proxy with value of http_proxy env variable (#1211). Note: proxies with non-root paths are not supported, due to limitations inhttp-conduit
.
- Added
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF
:- Ensure that temp directories deleted on Windows (#1192). The PDF is now read as a strict bytestring, ensuring that process ownership will be terminated, so the temp directory can be deleted.
- Use
/
as path separators in a few places, even on Windows. This seems to be necessary for texlive (#1151, thanks to Tim Lin). - Use
;
forTEXINPUTS
separator on Windows (#1151). - Changes to error reporting, to handle non-UTF8 error output.
-
Text.Pandoc.Templates
:-
Removed unneeded datatype context (Merijn Verstraaten).
-
YAML objects resolve to “true” in conditionals (#1133). Note: If
address
is a YAML object and you just have$address$
in your template, the wordtrue
will appear, which may be unexpected. (Previously nothing would appear.)

Template changes:
- LaTeX template: Use
fontenc
package only withpdflatex
(#1164). - LaTeX template: Add
linestretch
andfontfamily
variables. - LaTeX template: Conditionalize author and date commands.
- Beamer template: Consistent styles for figure and table captions (aaronwolen).
- LaTeX and beamer template: Adjust widths correctly for oversized
images. Use
\setkeys{Gin}{}
to set appropriate defaults for\includegraphics
(Yihui Xie, Garrick Aden-Buie). Loadupquote
only afterfontenc
(Yihui Xie). - Beamer template: Added caption package (#1200).
- Beamer template: changes for better unicode handling (KarolS).
- DocBook template: use
authorgroup
if there are authors. - revealjs template: Move
include-after
to end (certainlyakey). - revealjs template: Fixed PDF print function (#1220, kevinkenan).
- LaTeX template: Use

Bumped version bounds of dependencies.
-
Added a
--trace
command line option, for debugging backtracking bugs. So far this only works with the markdown reader. -
MathMLinHTML: Fixed deprecation warning (#362, gwern, Albert Krewinkel).
-
Updated travis script to test with multiple GHC versions.
-
Force failure of a Travis build if GHC produces warnings (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Add
.editorconfig
(Albert Krewinkel). See http://editorconfig.org/ for details. -
Give more useful error message if ‘-t pdf’ is specified (#1155).
-
Added
Cite
,SmallCaps
toArbitrary

Allow
html4
as a synonym ofhtml
as a reader (it already works as a writer). -
README:
- Added an explanation of how to use YAML metadata to
force items to appear in the bibliography without citations in
the text (like LaTeX
\nocite
). - Added note to
--bibtex/--natbib
: not for use in making PDF (#1194, thanks to nahoj). - Added explanatory notes about
--natbib
and--biblatex
. - Added specification of legal syntax for citation keys.
- Fixed variable defaults documentation (Albert Krewinkel).
- Added an explanation of how to use YAML metadata to
force items to appear in the bibliography without citations in
the text (like LaTeX
-
Removed copyright statements for files that have been removed (Albert Krewinkel).
-
Moved some doc files from
data-files
toextra-source-files
(#1123). They aren’t needed at runtime. We keep README and COPYRIGHT in data to ensure that they’ll be available on all systems on which pandoc is installed. -
Use cabal sandboxes in Windows build script.
pandoc 1.12.3.3 (2014-02-03)
- To changes to source; recompiled tarball with latest alex and happy, so they will work with GHC 7.8.
pandoc 1.12.3.2 (2014-02-03)
-
Bumped version bounds for blaze-html, blaze-markup.
-
ImageSize: Avoid use of lookAhead, which is not in binary >= 0.6 (#1124).
-
Fixed mediawiki ordered list parsing (#1122).
-
HTML reader: Fixed bug reading inline math with
$$
(#225). -
Added support for LaTeX style literate Haskell code blocks in rST (Merijn Verstraaten).
pandoc 1.12.3.1 (2014-01-14)
- Relaxed version constraint on binary, allowing the use of binary 0.5.
pandoc 1.12.3 (2014-01-10)
-
The
--bibliography
option now sets thebiblio-files
variable. So, if you’re using--natbib
or--biblatex
, you can just use--bibliography=foo.bib
instead of-V bibliofiles=foo
. -
Don’t run pandoc-citeproc filter if
--bibliography
is used together with--natbib
or--biblatex
(Florian Eitel). -
Template changes:
- Updated beamer template to include booktabs.
- Added
abstract
variable to LaTeX template. - Put
header-includes
aftertitle
in LaTeX template (#908). - Allow use of
\includegraphics[size]
in beamer. This just required porting a macro definition from the default LaTeX template to the default beamer template.
-
reference.docx
: IncludeFootnoteText
style. Otherwise Word ignores the style, even when specified in thepPr
. (#901) -
reference.odt

Markdown reader:
- Fixed regression in title blocks (#1089). If author field was empty, date was being ignored.
- Allow backslash-newline hard line breaks in grid and multiline table cells.
- Citation keys may now start with underscores, and may contain underscores adjacent to internal punctuation.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Add support for
Verb
macro (jrnold) (#1090). - Support babel-style quoting:
"`..."'
.
- Add support for
-
Properly handle script blocks in strict mode. (That is,
markdown-markdown_in_html_blocks
.) Previously a spurious<p>
tag was being added (#1093). -
Docbook reader: Avoid failure if
tbody
contains notr
orrow
elements. -
LaTeX writer:
- Factored out function for table cell creation.
- Better treatment of footnotes in tables. Notes now appear in the regular sequence, rather than in the table cell. (This was a regression in 1.10.)
-
HTML reader: Parse name/content pairs from meta tags as metadata. Closes #1106.
-
Moved
fixDisplayMath
from Docx writer toWriter.Shared
. -
OpenDocument writer: Fixed
RawInline
,RawBlock
so they don’t escape. -
ODT writer: Use mathml for proper rendering of formulas. Note: LibreOffice’s support for this seems a bit buggy. But it should be better than what we had before.
-
RST writer: Ensure no blank line after def in definition list (#992).
-
Markdown writer: Don’t use tilde code blocks with braced attributes in
markdown_github
output. A consequence of this change is that the backtick form will be preferred in general if both are enabled. That is good, as it is much more widespread than the tilde form. (#1084) -
Docx writer: Fixed problem with some modified reference docx files. Include
word/_rels/settings.xml.rels
if it exists, as well as otherrels
files besides the ones pandoc generates explicitly. -
HTML writer:
- With
--toc
, headers no longer link to themselves (#1081). - Omit footnotes from TOC entries. Otherwise we get doubled footnotes when headers have notes!
- With
-
EPUB writer:
- Avoid duplicate notes when headings contain notes. This arose because the headings are copied into the metadata “title” field, and the note gets rendered twice. We strip the note now before putting the heading in “title”.
- Strip out footnotes from toc entries.
- Fixed bug with
--epub-stylesheet
. Now the contents ofwriterEpubStylesheet
(set by--epub-stylesheet
) should again work, and take precedence over a stylesheet specified in the metadata.
-
Text.Pandoc.Pretty

. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared
:fetchItem

Text.Pandoc.ImageSize
: Parse EXIF format JPEGs. Previously we could only get size information for JFIF format, which led to squished images in Word documents. Closes #976. -
Removed old
MarkdownTest_1.0.3
directory (#1104).
pandoc 1.12.2.1 (2013-12-08)
- Markdown reader: Fixed regression in list parser, involving continuation lines containing raw HTML (or even verbatim raw HTML).
pandoc 1.12.2 (2013-12-07)
-
Metadata may now be included in YAML blocks in a markdown document. For example,
--- title: - type: main text: My Book - type: subtitle text: An investigation of metadata creator: - role: author text: John Smith - role: editor text: Sarah Jones identifier: - scheme: DOI text: doi:10.234234.234/33 publisher: My Press rights: (c) 2007 John Smith, CC BY-NC cover-image: img/mypic.jpg stylesheet: style.css ...
Metadata may still be provided using
--epub-metadata
; it will be merged with the metadata in YAML blocks. -
EPUB writer:
meta
tags are now used instead ofopf
attributes for EPUB3.- Insert “svg” property as needed in opf (EPUB 3).
- Simplify
imageTypeOf
usinggetMimeType
. - Add properties attribute to
cover-image
item for EPUB 3. - Don’t include node for
cover.xhtml
if no cover! - Ensure that same identifier is used throughout (#1044). If an identifier is given in metadata, we use that; otherwise we generate a random uuid.
- Add cover reference to guide element (EPUB 2) (Shaun Attfield).
Fixes an issue with Calibre putting the cover at the end of the book
if the spine has
linear="no"
. Apparently this is best practice for other converters as well: http://www.idpf.org/epub/20/spec/OPF_2.0.1_draft.htm#Section2.6. - Allow
stylesheet
in metadata. The value is a path to the stylesheet. - Allow partial dates:
YYYY
,YYYY-MM
.
-
Markdown writer: Fix rendering of tight sublists (#1050). Previously a spurious blank line was included after a tight sublist.
-
ODT writer: Add
draw:name
attribute todraw:frame
elements (#1069). This is reported to be necessary to avoid an error from recent versions of Libre Office when files contain more than one image Thanks to wmanley for reporting and diagnosing the problem. -
ConTeXt writer: Don’t hardcode figure/table placement and numbering. Instead, let this be set in the template, using
\setupfloat
. Thanks to on4aa and Aditya Mahajan for the suggestion (#1067). -
Implemented CSL flipflopping spans in DOCX, LaTeX, and HTML writers.
-
Fixed bug with markdown intraword emphasis. Closes #1066.
-
Docbook writer: Hierarchicalize block content in metadata. Previously headers just disappeared from block-level metadata when it was used in templates. Now we apply the ‘hierarchicalize’ transformation. Note that a block headed by a level-2 header will turn into a
<sect1>
element. -
OpenDocument writer: Skip raw HTML (#1035). Previously it was erroneously included as verbatim text.
-
HTML/EPUB writer, footnotes: Put
<sup>
tag inside<a>
tags. This allows better control of formatting, since the<a>
tags have a distinguishing class (#1049). -
Docx writer:
- Use mime type info returned by fetchItem.
- Fixed core metadata (#1046).
Don’t create empty date nodes if no date given.
Don’t create multiple
dc:creator
nodes; instead separate by semicolons. - Fix URL for core-properties in
_rels/.rels
(#1046).
-
Plain writer: don’t print
<span>
tags. -
LaTeX writer:
- Fix definition lists with internal links in terms (#1032). This fix puts braces around a term that contains an internal link, to avoid problems with square brackets.
- Properly escape pdftitle, pdfauthor (#1059).
- Use booktabs package for tables (thanks to Jose Luis Duran).
-
Updated beamer template. Now references should work properly (in a slide) when
--biblatex
or--natbib
is used. -
LaTeX reader:
- Parse contents of curly quotes or matched
"
as quotes. - Support
\textnormal
as span with classnodecor
. This is needed for pandoc-citeproc. - Improved citation parsing. This fixes a run-time error that occurred
with
\citet{}
(empty list of keys). It also ensures that empty keys don’t get produced.
- Parse contents of curly quotes or matched
-
MediaWiki reader: Add automatic header identifiers.
-
HTML reader:
- Use pandoc
Div

for raw<div>
,<span>
when--parse-raw
. - Recognize
svg
tags as block level content (thanks to MinRK). - Parse LaTeX math if appropriate options are set.
- Use pandoc
-
Markdown reader:
- Yaml block must start immediately after
---
. If there’s a blank line after---
, we interpreted it as a horizontal rule. - Correctly handle empty bullet list items.
- Stop parsing “list lines” when we hit a block tag.
This fixes exponential slowdown in certain input, e.g.
a series of lists followed by
</div>
.
- Yaml block must start immediately after

Text.Pandoc.Writer.Shared
:- Fixed bug in
tagWithAttrs
. A space was omitted before key-value attributes, leading to invalid HTML. normalizeDate
: Allow dates with year only (thanks to Shaun Attfield).- Fixed bug in
openURL
withdata:
URIs. Previously the base-64 encoded bytestring was returned. We now decode it so it’s a proper image!
- Fixed bug in
-
DocBook reader: Handle numerical attributes starting with decimal. Also use
safeRead
instead ofread
. -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
:- Generalized type of
registerHeader
, using new type classesHasReadeOptions
,HasIdentifierList
,HasHeaderMap
. These allow certain common functions to be reused even in parsers that use custom state (instead ofParserState
), such as the MediaWiki reader. - Moved inlineMath, displayMath from Markdown reader to Parsing. Generalize their types and export them from Parsing. (API change.)
- Generalized type of
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.TexMath
: ExportreadTeXMath'
, which attends to display/inline. DeprecatereadTeXMath
, and usereadTeXMath'
in all the writers. Requiretexmath >= 0.6.5.2
. -
Text.Pandoc.MIME
:- Add entry for
jfif
. - In looking up extensions, drop the encoding info. E.g. for ‘image/jpg;base64’ we should lookup ‘image/jpg’.
- Add entry for
-
Templates: Changed how array variables are resolved. Previously if
foo
is an array (which might be because multiple values were set on the command line),$foo$
would resolve to the concatenation of the elements of foo. This is rarely useful behavior. It has been changed so that the first value is rendered. Of course, you can still iterate over the values using$for(foo)$
. This has the result that you can override earlier settings using-V
by putting new values later on the command line, which is useful for many purposes. -
Text.Pandoc
: Don’t default topandocExtensions
for all writers. -
Allow “epub2” as synonym for “epub”, “html4” for “html”.
-
Don’t look for slidy files in data files with

Fixed
make_osx_package.sh
so data files embedded inpandoc-citeproc

pandoc 1.12.1 (2013-10-20)
-
Text.Pandoc.Definition
: Changed default JSON serialization format. Instead of{"Str": "foo"}
, for example, we now have{"t": "Str", "c": "foo"}
. This new format is easier to work with outside of Haskell. Incidentally, “t” stands for “tag”, “c” for “contents”. -
MediaWiki reader: Trim contents of
<math>
tags, to avoid problems when converting to markdown (#1027). -
LaTeX reader:
- Ensure that preamble doesn’t contribute to the text of the document.
- Fixed character escaping in
\url{}
. Previously\~
wasn’t handled properly, among others. - Parse
{groups}
asSpan
. This is needed for accurate conversion of bibtex titles, since we need to know what was protected from titlecase conversions.
-
LaTeX writer:
- Specially escape non-ascii characters in labels. Otherwise we can get compile errors and other bugs when compiled with pdflatex (#1007). Thanks to begemotv2718 for the fix.
- Add link anchors for code blocks with identifiers (#1025).
-
Throughout the code, use
isURI
instead ofisAbsoluteURI
. It allows fragments identifiers. -
Slide formats:
- A Div element with class “notes” is treated as speaker
notes. Currently beamer goes to
\note{}
, revealjs to<aside class="notes">
, and the notes are simply suppressed in other formats (#925). - Fixed
. . .
(pause) on HTML slide formats. Closes #1029. The old version caused a pause to be inserted before the first material on a slide. This has been fixed. - Removed data files for s5, slideous, slidy. Users of s5 and slideous will have to download the needed files, as has been documented for some time in the README. By default, slidy code will be sought on the web, as before.
- A Div element with class “notes” is treated as speaker
notes. Currently beamer goes to
-
HTML writer: Insert command to typeset mathjax only in slideous output (#966, #1012).
-
RST writer: Skip spaces after display math. Otherwise we get indentation problems, and part of the next paragraph may be rendered as part of the math.
-
OpenDocument writer: Fix formatting of strikeout code (#995), thanks to wilx. don’t use
font-face-decls
variable. -
Fixed test suite so it works with cabal sandboxes.
pandoc 1.12.0.2 (2013-09-20)
- Removed an unused dependency (
stringable
) from pandoc.cabal. This will help packagers, but users should not need to upgrade.
pandoc 1.12.0.1 (2013-09-20)
-
Allow
--metadata
to be repeated for the same key to form a list. This also has the effect that--bibliography
can be repeated, as before. -
Handle boolean values in
--metadata
. Note that anything not parseable as a YAML boolean or string is treated as a literal string. You can get a string value with “yes”, or any of the strings interpretable as booleans, by quoting it:-M boolvalue=yes -M stringvalue='"yes"'
-
LaTeX writer: Don’t print references if
--natbib
or--biblatex
option used. -
DOCX writer: Add
settings.xml
to the zip container. Fixes a bug in which docx files could not be read by some versions of Word and LibreOffice (#990). -
Fixed a regression involving slide shows with bibliographies. The Div container around references messed up the procedure for carving a document into slides. So we now remove the surrounding Div in
prepSlides
. -
More informative error message when a filter is not found in path.
-
Depend on pandoc-types 1.12.1. This provide
ToJSONFilter
instances forData a => a -> [a]
andData a => a -> IO [a]
. -
Don’t use unicode_collation in building OSX package: it adds something like 50MB of dependencies to the package.
-
Declare alex and happy as build-tools (#986).
pandoc 1.12 (2013-09-15)
New features
-
Much more flexible metadata, including arbitrary fields and structured values. Metadata can be specified flexibly in pandoc markdown using YAML metadata blocks, which may occur anywhere in the document:
--- title: Here is my title. abstract: | This is the abstract. 1. It can contain 2. block content and *inline markup* tags: [cat, dog, animal] ...
Metadata fields automatically populate template variables.
-
Added
opml
(OPML) as input and output format. The_note
attribute, used in OmniOutliner and supported by multimarkdown, is supported. We treat the contents as markdown blocks under a section header. -
Added
haddock
(Haddock markup) as input format (David Lazar). -
Added
revealjs
output format, for reveal.js HTML 5 slide shows. (Thanks to Jamie F. Olson for the initial patch.) Nested vertical stacks are used for hierarchical structure. Results for more than one level of nesting may be odd. -
Custom writers can now be written in lua.
pandoc -t data/sample.lua
will load the script sample.lua and use it as a custom writer. (For a sample, do
pandoc --print-default-data-file sample.lua
.) Note that pandoc embeds a lua interpreter, so lua need not be installed separately. -
New
--filter/-F
option to make it easier to run “filters” (Pandoc AST transformations that operate on JSON serializations). Filters are always passed the name of the output format, so their behavior can be tailored to it. The repository https://github.com/jgm/pandocfilters contains a python module for writing pandoc filters in python, with a number of examples. -
Added
--metadata/-M
option. This is like--variable/-V
, but actually adds to metadata, not just variables. -
Added
--print-default-data-file
option, which allows printing of any of pandoc’s data files. (For example,pandoc --print-default-data-file reference.odt
will printreference.odt
.) -
Added syntax for “pauses” in slide shows:
This gives . . . me pause.
-
New markdown extensions:
ignore_line_breaks
: causes intra-paragraph line breaks to be ignored, rather than being treated as hard line breaks or spaces. This is useful for some East Asian languages, where spaces aren’t used between words, but text is separated into lines for readability.yaml_metadata_block
: Parse YAML metadata blocks. (Default.)ascii_identifiers
: This will forceauto_identifiers
to use ASCII only. (Default formarkdown_github
.) (#807)lists_without_preceding_blankline
: Allow lists to start without preceding blank space. (Default formarkdown_github
.) (#972)
Behavior changes
-
--toc-level
no longer implies--toc
. Reason: EPUB users who don’t want a visible TOC may still want to set the TOC level for in the book navigation. -
--help
now prints in and out formats in alphabetical order, and says something about PDF output (#720). -
--self-contained
now returns less verbose output (telling you which URLs it is fetching, but not giving the full header). In addition, there are better error messages when fetching a URL fails. -
Citation support is no longer baked in to core pandoc. Users who need citations will need to install and use a separate filter (
--filter pandoc-citeproc
). This filter will takebibliography
,csl
, andcitation-abbreviations
from the metadata, though it may still be specified on the command line as before. -
A
Cite
element is now created in parsing markdown whether or not there is a matching reference. -
The
pandoc-citeproc
script will put the bibliography at the end of the document, as before. However, it will be put inside aDiv
element with class “references”, allowing users some control over the styling of references. A final header, if any, will be included in theDiv
. -
The markdown writer will not print a bibliography if the
citations
extension is enabled. (If the citations are formatted as markdown citations, it is redundant to have a bibliography, since one will be generated automatically.) -
Previously we used to store the directory of the first input file, even if it was local, and used this as a base directory for finding images in ODT, EPUB, Docx, and PDF. This has been confusing to many users. So we now look for images relative to the current working directory, even if the first file argument is in another directory. Note that this change may break some existing workflows. If you have been assuming that relative links will be interpreted relative to the directory of the first file argument, you’ll need to make that the current directory before running pandoc. (#942)
-
Better error reporting in some readers, due to changes in
readWith
: the line in which the error occurred is printed, with a caret pointing to the column. -
All slide formats now support incremental slide view for definition lists.
-
Parse
\(..\)
and\[..\]
as math in MediaWiki reader. Parse:<math>...</math>
as display math. These notations are used with the MathJax MediaWiki extension. -
All writers: template variables are set automatically from metadata fields. However, variables specified on the command line with
--variable
will completely shadow metadata fields. -
If
--variable
is used to set many variables with the same name, a list is created. -
Man writer: The
title
,section
,header
, andfooter
can now all be set individually in metadata. Thedescription
variable has been removed. Quotes have been added so that spaces are allowed in the title. If you have a title that beginsCOMMAND(1) footer here | header here
pandoc will still parse it into a title, section, header, and footer. But you can also specify these elements explicitly (#885).
-
Markdown reader
- Added support for YAML metadata blocks, which can come anywhere in the document (not just at the beginning). A document can contain multiple YAML metadata blocks.
- HTML span and div tags are parsed as pandoc Span and Div elements.
-
Markdown writer
- Allow simple tables to be printed as grid tables,
if other table options are disabled. This means you can do
pandoc -t markdown-pipe_tables-simple_tables-multiline_tables
and all tables will render as grid tables. - Support YAML title block (render fields in alphabetical order to make output predictable).
- Allow simple tables to be printed as grid tables,
if other table options are disabled. This means you can do
API changes
-
Meta
inText.Pandoc.Definition
has been changed to allow structured metadata. (Note: existing code that pattern-matches onMeta
will have to be revised.) Metadata can now contain indefinitely many fields, with content that can be a string, a Boolean, a list ofInline
elements, a list ofBlock
elements, or a map or list of these. -
A new generic block container (
Div
) has been added toBlock
, and a generic inline container (Span
) has been added toInline
. These can take attributes. They will render in HTML, Textile, MediaWiki, Org, RST and Markdown (withmarkdown_in_html
extension) as HTML<div>
and<span>
elements; in other formats they will simply pass through their contents. But they can be targeted by scripts. -
Format
is now a newtype, not an alias for String. Equality comparisons are case-insensitive. -
Added
Text.Pandoc.Walk
, which exports hand-written tree-walking functions that are much faster than the SYB functions fromText.Pandoc.Generic
. These functions are now used where possible in pandoc’s code. (Tests.Walk
verifies thatwalk
andquery
match the generic traversalsbottomUp
andqueryWith
.) -
Added
Text.Pandoc.JSON
, which providesToJSON
andFromJSON
instances for the basic pandoc types. They use GHC generics and should be faster than the old JSON serialization usingData.Aeson.Generic
. -
Added
Text.Pandoc.Process
, exportingpipeProcess
. This is a souped-up version ofreadProcessWithErrorcode
that uses lazy bytestrings instead of strings and allows setting environment variables. (Used inText.Pandoc.PDF
.) -
New module
Text.Pandoc.Readers.OPML
. -
New module
Text.Pandoc.Writers.OPML
. -
New module
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Haddock
(David Lazar). This is based on Haddock’s own lexer/parser. -
New module
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Custom
. -
In
Text.Pandoc.Shared
,openURL
andfetchItem
now return an Either, for better error handling. -
Made
stringify
polymorphic inText.Pandoc.Shared
. -
Removed
stripTags
fromText.Pandoc.XML
. -
Text.Pandoc.Templates
:- Simplified
Template
type to a newtype. - Removed
Empty
. - Changed type of
renderTemplate
: it now takes a JSON context and a compiled template. - Export
compileTemplate
. - Export
renderTemplate'
that takes a string instead of a compiled template. - Export
varListToJSON
.
- Simplified
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF
exportsmakePDF
instead oftex2pdf
. -
Text.Pandoc
:- Made
toJsonFilter
an alias fortoJSONFilter
fromText.Pandoc.JSON
. - Removed
ToJsonFilter
typeclass.ToJSONFilter
fromText.Pandoc.JSON
should be used instead. (Compiling against pandoc-types instead of pandoc will also produce smaller executables.)
- Removed the deprecated
jsonFilter
function.
- Added
readJSON
,writeJSON
to the API (#817).
- Made
-
Text.Pandoc.Options
:- Added
Ext_lists_without_preceding_blankline
,Ext_ascii_identifiers
,Ext_ignore_line_breaks
,Ext_yaml_metadataBlock
toExtension
. - Changed
writerSourceDirectory
towriterSourceURL
and changed the type to aMaybe
.writerSourceURL
is set to ‘Just url’ when the first command-line argument is an absolute URL. (So, relative links will be resolved in relation to the first page.) Otherwise, ‘Nothing’. - All bibliography-related fields have been removed from
ReaderOptions
andWriterOptions
:writerBiblioFiles
,readerReferences
,readerCitationStyle
.
- Added
-
The
Text.Pandoc.Biblio
module has been removed. Users of the pandoc library who want citation support will need to useText.CSL.Pandoc
frompandoc-citeproc
.
Bug fixes
-
In markdown, don’t autolink a bare URI that is followed by
</a>
(#937). -
Text.Pandoc.Shared
openURL
now follows redirects (#701), properly handlesdata:
URIs, and prints diagnostic output to stderr rather than stdout.readDefaultDataFile
: normalize the paths. This fixes bugs in--self-contained
on pandoc compiled withembed_data_files
(#833).- Fixed
readDefaultDataFile
so it works on Windows. - Better error messages for
readDefaultDataFile
. Instead of listing the last path tried, which can confuse people who are using--self-contained
, so now we just list the data file name. - URL-escape pipe characters. Even though these are legal,
Network.URI
doesn’t regard them as legal in URLs. So we escape them first (#535).
-
Mathjax in HTML slide shows: include explicit “Typeset” call. This seems to be needed for some formats (e.g. slideous) and won’t hurt in others (#966).
-
Text.Pandoc.PDF
- On Windows, create temdir in working directory, since the system temp directory path may contain tildes, which can cause problems in LaTeX (#777).
- Put temporary output directory in
TEXINPUTS
(see #917). makePDF
tries to download images that are not found locally, if the first argument is a URL (#917).- If compiling with
pdflatex
yields an encoding error, offer the suggestion to use--latex-engine=xelatex
.
-
Produce automatic header identifiers in parsing textile, RST, and LaTeX, unless
auto_identifiers
extension is disabled (#967). -
Text.Pandoc.SelfContained
: Strip off fragment, query of relative URL before treating as a filename. This fixes--self-contained
when used with CSS files that include web fonts using the method described here: http://paulirish.com/2009/bulletproof-font-face-implementation-syntax/ (#739). Handlesrc
inembed
,audio
,source
,input
tags. -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
:uri
parser no longer treats punctuation before percent-encoding, or a+
character, as final punctuation. -
Text.Pandoc.ImageSize
: Handle EPS (#903). This change will make EPS images properly sized on conversion to Word. -
Slidy: Use slidy.js rather than slidy.js.gz. Reason: some browsers have trouble with the gzipped js file, at least on the local file system (#795).
-
Markdown reader
- Properly handle blank line at beginning of input (#882).
- Fixed bug in unmatched reference links. The input
[*infile*] [*outfile*]
was getting improperly parsed: “infile” was emphasized, but “outfile” was literal (#883). - Allow internal
+
in citation identifiers (#856). - Allow
.
or)
after#
in ATX headers if nofancy_lists
. - Do not generate blank title, author, or date metadata elements. Leave these out entirely if they aren’t present.
- Allow backtick code blocks not to be preceded by blank line (#975).
-
Textile reader:
- Correctly handle entities.
- Improved handling of
<pre>
blocks (#927). Remove internal HTML tags in code blocks, rather than printing them verbatim. Parse attributes on<pre>
tag for code blocks.
-
HTML reader: Handle non-simple tables (#893). Column widths are read from
col
tags if present, otherwise divided equally. -
LaTeX reader
- Support alltt environment (#892).
- Support
\textasciitilde
,\textasciicircum
(#810). - Treat
\textsl
as emphasized text reader (#850). - Skip positional options after
\begin{figure}
. - Support
\v{}
for hacek (#926). - Don’t add spurious “, “ to citation suffixes. This is added when needed in pandoc-citeproc.
- Allow spaces in alignment spec in tables, e.g.
{ l r c }
. - Improved support for accented characters (thanks to Scott Morrison).
- Parse label after section command and set id (#951).
-
RST reader:
- Don’t insert paragraphs where docutils doesn’t.
rst2html
doesn’t add<p>
tags to list items (even when they are separated by blank lines) unless there are multiple paragraphs in the list. This commit changes the RST reader to conform more closely to what docutils does (#880). - Improved metadata. Treat initial field list as metadata when
standalone specified. Previously ALL fields “title”, “author”,
“date” in field lists were treated as metadata, even if not at
the beginning. Use
subtitle
metadata field for subtitle. - Fixed ‘authors’ metadata parsing in reST. Semicolons separate different authors.
- Don’t insert paragraphs where docutils doesn’t.
-
MediaWiki reader
- Allow space before table rows.
- Fixed regression for
<ref>URL</ref>
.<
is no longer allowed in URLs, according to the uri parser inText.Pandoc.Parsing
. Added a test case. - Correctly handle indented preformatted text without preceding or following blank line.
- Fixed
|
links inside table cells. Improved attribute parsing. - Skip attributes on table rows. Previously we just crashed if rows had attributes, now we ignore them.
- Ignore attributes on headers.
- Allow
Image:
for images (#971). - Parse an image with caption in a paragraph by itself as a figure.
-
LaTeX writer
- Don’t use ligatures in escaping inline code.
- Fixed footnote numbers in LaTeX/PDF tables. This fixes a bug wherein notes were numbered incorrectly in tables (#827).
- Always create labels for sections. Previously the labels were only created when there were links to the section in the document (#871).
- Stop escaping
|
in LaTeX math. This caused problems with array environments (#891). - Change
\
to/
in paths./
works even on Windows in LaTeX.\
will cause major problems if unescaped. - Write id for code block to label attribute in LaTeX when listings is used (thanks to Florian Eitel).
- Scale LaTeX tables so they don’t exceed columnwidth.
- Avoid problem with footnotes in unnumbered headers (#940).
-
Beamer writer: when creating beamer slides, add
allowframebreaks
option to the slide if it is one of the header classes. It is recommended that your bibliography slide have this attribute:# References {.allowframebreaks}
This causes multiple slides to be created if necessary, depending on the length of the bibliography.
-
ConTeXt writer: Properly handle tables without captions. The old output only worked in MkII. This should work in MkIV as well (#837).
-
MediaWiki writer: Use native mediawiki tables instead of HTML (#720).
-
HTML writer:
- Fixed
--no-highlight
(Alexander Kondratskiy). - Don’t convert to lowercase in email obfuscation (#839).
- Ensure proper escaping in
<title>
and<meta>
fields.
- Fixed
-
AsciiDoc writer:
- Support
--atx-headers
(Max Rydahl Andersen). - Don’t print empty identifier blocks
([[]])
on headers (Max Rydahl Andersen).
- Support
-
ODT writer:
- Fixing wrong numbered-list indentation in open document format (Alexander Kondratskiy) (#369).
reference.odt
: Added pandoc as “generator” inmeta.xml
.- Minor changes for ODF 1.2 conformance (#939). We leave the
nonconforming
contextual-spacing
attribute, which is provided by LibreOffice itself and seems well supported.
-
Docx writer:
- Fixed rendering of display math in lists. In 1.11 and 1.11.1, display math in lists rendered as a new list item. Now it always appears centered, just as outside of lists, and in proper display math style, no matter how far indented the containing list item is (#784).
- Use
w:br
withw:type
textWrapping
for linebreaks. Previously we usedw:cr
(#873). - Use Compact style for Plain block elements, to differentiate between tight and loose lists (#775).
- Ignore most components of
reference.docx
. We take theword/styles.xml
,docProps/app.xml
,word/theme/theme1.xml
, andword/fontTable.xml
fromreference.docx
, ignoring everything else. This should help with the corruption problems caused when different versions of Word resave the reference.docx and reorganize things. - Made
--no-highlight
work properly.
-
EPUB writer
- Don’t add
dc:creator
tags if present in EPUB metadata. - Add
id="toc-title"
toh1
innav.xhtml
(#799). - Don’t put blank title page in reading sequence.
Set
linear="no"
if no title block. Addresses #797. - Download webtex images and include as data URLs.
This allows you to use
--webtex
in creating EPUBs. Math with--webtex
is automatically made self-contained. - In
data/epub.css
, removed highlighting styles (which are no longer needed, since styles are added by the HTML writer according to--highlighting-style
). Simplified margin fields. - If resource not found, skip it, as in Docx writer (#916).
- Don’t add
-
RTF writer:
- Properly handle characters above the 0000-FFFF range. Uses surrogate pairs. Thanks to Hiromi Ishii for the patch.
- Fixed regression with RTF table of contents.
- Only autolink absolute URIs. This fixes a regression, #830.
-
Markdown writer:
- Only autolink absolute URIs. This fixes a regression, #830.
- Don’t wrap attributes in fenced code blocks.
- Write full metadata in MMD style title blocks.
- Put multiple authors on separate lines in pandoc titleblock. Also, don’t wrap long author entries, as new lines get treated as new authors.
-
Text.Pandoc.Templates
:- Fixed bug retrieving default template for markdown variants.
- Templates can now contain “record lookups” in variables;
for example,
author.institution
will retrieve theinstitution
field of theauthor
variable. - More consistent behavior of
$for$
. Whenfoo
is not a list,$for(foo)$...$endfor$
should behave like $if(foo)$…$endif$. So iffoo
resolves to “”, no output should be produced. See pandoc-templates#39.
-
Citation processing improvements (now part of pandoc-citeproc):
- Fixed
endWithPunct
The new version correctly sees a sentence ending in ‘.)’ as ending with punctuation. This fixes a bug which led such sentences to receive an extra period at the end: ‘.).’. Thanks to Steve Petersen for reporting. - Don’t interfere with Notes that aren’t citation notes. This fixes a bug in which notes not generated from citations were being altered (e.g. first letter capitalized) (#898).
- Only capitalize footnote citations when they have a prefix.
- Changes in suffix parsing. A suffix beginning with a digit gets ‘p’
inserted before it before passing to citeproc-hs, so that bare numbers
are treated as page numbers by default. A suffix not beginning with
punctuation has a space added at the beginning (rather than a comma and
space, as was done before for not-author-in-text citations).
The result is that
\citep[23]{item1}
in LaTeX will be interpreted properly, with ‘23’ treated as a locator of type ‘page’. - Many improvements to citation rendering, due to fixes in citeproc-hs (thanks to Andrea Rossato).
- Warnings are issued for undefined citations, which are rendered
as
???
. - Fixed hanging behavior when locale files cannot be found.
- Fixed
Template changes
-
DocBook: Use DocBook 4.5 doctype.
-
Org: ‘#+TITLE:’ is inserted before the title. Previously the writer did this.
-
LaTeX: Changes to make mathfont work with xelatex. We need the mathspec library, not just fontspec, for this. We also need to set options for setmathfont (#734).
-
LaTeX: Use
tex-ansi
mapping formonofont
. This ensures that straight quotes appear as straight, rather than being treated as curly. See #889. -
Made
\includegraphics
more flexible in LaTeX template. Now it can be used with options, if needed. Thanks to Bernhard Weichel. -
LaTeX/Beamer: Added
classoption
variable. This is intended for class options likeoneside
; it may be repeated with different options. (Thanks to Oliver Matthews.) -
Beamer: Added
fonttheme
variable. (Thanks to Luis Osa.) -
LaTeX: Added
biblio-style
variable (#920). -
DZSlides: title attribute on title section.
-
HTML5: add meta tag to allow scaling by user (Erik Evenson)
Under-the-hood improvements
-
Markdown reader:Improved strong/emph parsing, using the strategy of https://github.com/jgm/Markdown. The new parsing algorithm requires no backtracking, and no keeping track of nesting levels. It will give different results in some edge cases, but these should not affect normal uses.
-
Added
Text.Pandoc.Compat.Monoid
. This allows pandoc to compile withbase
< 4.5, whereData.Monoid
doesn’t export<>
. Thanks to Dirk Ullirch for the patch. -
Added
Text.Pandoc.Compat.TagSoupEntity
. This allows pandoc to compile withtagsoup
0.13.x. Thanks to Dirk Ullrich for the patch. -
Most of
Text.Pandoc.Readers.TeXMath
has been moved to thetexmath
module (0.6.4). (This allowspandoc-citeproc
to handle simple math in bibliography fields.) -
Added
Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared
for shared functions used only in writers.metaToJSON
is used in writers to create a JSON object for use in the templates from the pandoc metadata and variables.getField
,setField
, anddefField
are for working with JSON template contexts. -
Added
Text.Pandoc.Asciify
utility module. This exports functions to create ASCII-only versions of identifiers. -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
- Generalized state type on
readWith
(API change). - Specialize readWith to
String
input. (API change). - In
ParserState
, replacestateTitle
,stateAuthors
,stateDate
withstateMeta
andstateMeta'
.
- Generalized state type on
-
Text.Pandoc.UTF8
: use strict bytestrings in reading. The use of lazy bytestrings seemed to cause problems using pandoc on 64-bit Windows 7/8 (#874). -
Factored out
registerHeader
from markdown reader, added toText.Pandoc.Parsing
. -
Removed
blaze_html_0_5
flag, requireblaze-html
>= 0.5. Reason: < 0.5 does not provide a monoid instance for Attribute, which is now needed by the HTML writer (#803). -
Added
http-conduit
flag, which allows fetching https resources. It also brings in a large number of dependencies (http-conduit
and its dependencies), which is why for now it is an optional flag (#820). -
Added CONTRIBUTING.md.
-
Improved INSTALL instructions.
-
make-windows-installer.bat
: Removed explicit paths for executables. -
aeson
is now used instead ofjson
for JSON. -
Set default stack size to 16M. This is needed for some large conversions, esp. if pandoc is compiled with 64-bit ghc.
-
Various small documentation improvements. Thanks to achalddave and drothlis for patches.
-
Removed comment that chokes recent versions of CPP (#933).
-
Removed support for GHC version < 7.2, since pandoc-types now requires at least GHC 7.2 for GHC generics.
pandoc 1.11.1 (2013-03-17)
-
Markdown reader:
- Fixed regression in which parentheses were lost in link URLs. Added tests. Closes #786.
- Better handling of unmatched double quotes in
--smart
mode. These occur frequently in fiction, since it is customary not to close quotes in dialogue if the speaker does not change between paragraphs. The unmatched quotes now get turned into literal left double quotes. (NoQuoted
inline is generated, however.) Closes #99 (again).
-
HTML writer: Fixed numbering mismatch between TOC and sections.
--number-offset
now affects TOC numbering as well as section numbering, as it should have all along. Closes #789. -
Markdown writer: Reverted 1.11 change that caused citations to be rendered as markdown citations, even if
--bibliography
was specified, unlesscitation
extension is disabled. Now, formatted citations are always printed if--bibliography
was specified. If you want to reformat markdown keeping pandoc markdown citations intact, don’t use--bibliography
. Note that citations parsed from LaTeX documents will be rendered as pandoc markdown citations when--bibliography
is not specified. -
ODT writer: Fixed regression leading to corrupt ODTs. This was due to a change in the
Show
instance forText.Pandoc.Pretty.Doc
. Closes #780. -
Fixed spacing bugs involving code block attributes in RST reader and Markdown writer. Closes #763.
-
Windows package: Various improvements due to Fyodor Sheremetyev.
- Automatically set installation path (Program Files or Local App Data).
- Set system PATH environment variable when installing for all users.
- Pandoc can installed for all users using the following command.
msiexec /i pandoc-1.11.msi ALLUSERS=1
.
-
Bumped QuickCheck version bound.
pandoc 1.11 (2013-03-09)
-
Added
--number-offset
option. (See README for description.) -
Added
--default-image-extension
option. (See README for description.) -
--number-sections
behavior change: headers with classunnumbered
will not be numbered. -
--version
now reports the default data directory. -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
is no longer exposed. (API change.) -
Text.Pandoc.Highlighting
is no longer exposed. (API change.) -
Text.Pandoc.Shared
: Changed type ofElement
.Sec
now includes a field forAttr
rather than justString
. (API change.) -
Added
markdown_github
as input format. This was an accidental omission in 1.10. -
Added
readerDefaultImageExtension
field toReaderOptions
. (API change.) -
Added
writerNumberOffset
field inWriterOptions
. (API change.) -
Beamer template:
- Fixed captions with longtable. Thanks to Joost Kremers.
- Provide
\Oldincludegraphics
as in LaTeX template (Benjamin Bannier).
-
LaTeX template:
- Load microtype after fonts. Microtype needs to know what fonts are being used. Thanks to dfc for the patch.
- Set
secnumdepth
to 5 if--number-sections
specified. This yields behavior equivalent to the other writers, numbering level 4 and 5 headers too. Closes #753.
-
HTML reader:
- Handle
<colgroup>
tag. - Preserve all header attributes.
- Handle
-
LaTeX reader:
- Parse
\hrule
asHorizontalRule
. Closes #746. - Parse starred variants of
\section
etc. as headers with attributeunnumbered
. - Read optional attributes in
lstlisting
andVerbatim
environments. We convert these to pandoc standard names, e.g.numberLines
fornumbers=left
,startFrom=100
fromfirstnumber=100
. - Handle language attribute for lstlistings.
- Better support for Verbatim and minted environments. Closes #763.
- Parse
-
Markdown reader:
-
in an attribute context =.unnumbered
. The point of this is to provide a way to specify unnumbered headers in non-English documents.- Fixed bug parsing key/value attributes. Parsing failed if you had an unquoted attribute immediately before the final ‘}’.
- Make backslash escape work in attributes.
- Fix title block parsing. Now if
mmd_title_blocks
is specified, pandoc will parse a MMD title block if it sees one, even ifpandoc_title_blocks
is enabled. - Refactoring:
litChar
now includes entities, so we don’t need to usefromEntities
e.g. on titles. - Allow spaces around borders in pipe tables. Closes #772.
- Allow all punctuation in angle-bracket autolinks. Previously
things like
----
were disallowed, because the uri parser treated them as trailing punctuation. Closes #768. - Make
implicit_header_references
work properly when headers are given explicit identifiers. - Check for tables before line blocks. Otherwise some pipe tables get treated as line blocks.
- Allow
&
in emails (for entities). - Properly handle entities in titles and links. A markdown link
<http://göogle.com>
should be a link tohttp://göogle.com
. Closes #723.
-
Textile reader:
- Handle attributes on headers.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Add
fig:
as title for images with captions. This is needed for them to be rendered as figures. Closes #766. - Never emit an empty paragraph. See #761.
- Handle
\caption
for images in figures. Closes #766. - Parse
\section*
, etc. as unnumbered sections.
- Add
-
HTML writer:
- Support header attributes. The attributes go on
the enclosing
section
ordiv
tag if--section-divs
is specified. - Fixed a regression (only now noticed) in html+lhs output. Previously the bird tracks were being omitted.
- Support header attributes. The attributes go on
the enclosing
-
LaTeX writer:
- Omit lists with no items to avoid LaTeX errors.
- Support line numbering with
--listings
. IfnumberLines
class is present, we addnumbers=left
; ifstartFrom
is present, we addfirstnumber=
. (#763)
-
ConTeXt writer:
- Removed
\placecontent
. This produced a duplicate toc, in conjunction with\placelist
. - Use
\title
,\subject
etc. for headers withunnumbered
class.
- Removed
-
Textile writer:
- Support header attributes.
-
Markdown writer:
- Use grid tables when needed, and if enabled. Closes #740.
- Render citations as pandoc-markdown citations.
Previously citations were rendered as citeproc-formatted citations
by default. Now we render them as pandoc citations, e.g.
[@item1]
, unless thecitations
extension is disabled. If you still want formatted citations in your markdown output, usepandoc -t markdown-citations
.
-
RST writer:
- Support
:number-lines:
in code blocks.
- Support
-
Docx writer:
- Better treatment of display math. Display math inside a paragraph is now put in a separate paragraph, so it will render properly (centered and without extra blank lines around it). Partially addresses #742.
- Content types and document rels xml files are now created from
scratch, rather than being taken over from
reference.docx
. This fixes problems that arise when you edit thereference.docx
with Word. - We also now encode mime types for each individual image rather than using defaults. This should allow us to handle a wider range of image types (including PDF). Closes #414.
- Changed style names in
reference docx
.FootnoteReference
->FootnoteRef
,Hyperlink
->Link
. The old names got changed by Word when thereference.docx
was edited. Closes #414.
-
EPUB writer:
- Fix section numbering. Previously the numbering restarted from 1
in each chapter (with
--number-sections
), though the numbers in the table of contents were correct. - Headers with “unnumbered” attribute are not numbered. (Nor do they cause an increment in running numbering.) Section numbers now work properly, even when there is material before the first numbered section.
- Include HTML TOC, even in epub2. The TOC is included in
<spine>
, butlinear
is set tono
unless the--toc
option is specified. Include<guide>
element in OPF. This should allow the TOC to be usable in Kindles when converted with kindlegen. Closes #773.
- Fix section numbering. Previously the numbering restarted from 1
in each chapter (with
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
: OptimizedoneOfStringsCI
. This dramatically reduces the speed penalty that comes from enabling theautolink_bare_uris
extension. The penalty is still substantial (in one test, from 0.33s to 0.44s), but nowhere near what it used to be. The RST reader is also much faster now, as it autodetects URIs. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared
:hierarchicalize
will not number section with class “unnumbered”. Unnumbered sections get[]
for their section number. -
Text.Pandoc.Pretty
:- Fixed
chomp
so it works insidePrefixed
elements. - Changed
Show
instance so it is better for debugging.
- Fixed
-
Text.Pandoc.ImageSize
: AddedPdf
toImageType
. -
Text.Pandoc.UTF8
: Strip off BOM if present. Closes #743. -
Windows installer improvements:
- The installer is now signed with a certificate (thanks to Fyodor Sheremetyev).
- WiX is used instead of InnoSetup. The installer is now a standard msi file.
- The version number is now auto-detected, and need not be updated separately.
-
OSX installer improvements:
- The package and pandoc executable are now signed with a certificate (thanks to Fyodor Sheremetyev).
- RTF version of license is used.
- Use full path for sysctl in
InstallationCheck
script (jonahbull). Closes #580.
-
Converted COPYING to markdown.
-
pandoc.cabal: Require latest versions of highlighting-kate, texmath, citeproc-hs, zip-archive.
pandoc 1.10.1 (2013-01-23)
-
Markdown reader: various optimizations, leading to a significant performance boost.
-
RST reader: Allow anonymous form of inline links:
`hello <url>`__
Closes #724. -
Mediawiki reader: Don’t require newlines after tables. Thanks to jrunningen for the patch. Closes #733.
-
Fixed LaTeX macro parsing. Now LaTeX macro definitions are preserved when output is LaTeX, and applied when it is another format. Partially addresses #730.
-
Markdown and RST readers: Added parser to
block
that skips blank lines. This fixes a subtle regression involving grid tables with empty cells. Also added test for grid table with empty cells. Closes #732. -
RST writer: Use
.. code:: language
for code blocks with language. Closes #721. -
DocBook writer: Fixed output for hard line breaks, adding a newline between
<literallayout>
tags. -
Markdown writer: Use an autolink when link text matches url. Previously we also checked for a null title, but this test fails for links produced by citeproc-hs in bibliographies. So, if the link has a title, it will be lost on conversion to an autolink, but that seems okay.
-
Markdown writer: Set title, author, date variables as before. These are no longer used in the default template, since we use titleblock, but we set them anyway for those who use custom templates.
-
LaTeX writer: Avoid extra space at start/end of table cell. Thanks to Nick Bart for the suggestion of using @{}.
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
:- More efficient version of
anyLine
. - Type of
macro
has changed; the parser now returnsBlocks
instead ofBlock
.
- More efficient version of
-
Relaxed old-time version bound, allowing 1.0.*.
-
Removed obsolete
hsmarkdown
script. Those who needhsmarkdown
should create a symlink as described in the README.
pandoc 1.10.0.5 (2013-01-23)
-
Markdown reader: Try
lhsCodeBlock
beforerawTeXBlock
. Otherwise\begin{code}...\end{code}
isn’t handled properly in markdown+lhs. Thanks to Daniel Miot for noticing the bug and suggesting the fix. -
Markdown reader: Fixed bug with headerless grid tables. The 1.10 code assumed that each table header cell contains exactly one block. That failed for headerless tables (0) and also for tables with multiple blocks in a header cell. The code is fixed and tests provided. Thanks to Andrew Lee for pointing out the bug.
-
Markdown reader: Fixed regressions in fenced code blocks. Closes #722.
- Tilde code fences can again take a bare language string
(
~~~ haskell
), not just curly-bracketed attributes (~~~ {.haskell}
). - Backtick code blocks can take the curly-bracketed attributes.
- Backtick code blocks don’t require a language.
- Consolidated code for the two kinds of fenced code blocks.
- Tilde code fences can again take a bare language string
(
-
LaTeX template: Use
\urlstyle{same}
to avoid monospace URLs. -
Markdown writer: Use proportional font for email autolinks with obfuscation. Closes #714.
-
Corrected name of
blank_before_blockquote
in README. Closes #718. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared
: Fixed bug inuri
parser. The bug prevented an autolink at the end of a string (e.g. at the end of a line block line) from counting as a link. Closes #711. -
Use the
hsb2hs
preprocessor instead of TH for embed_data_files. This should work on Windows, unlike the TH solution with file-embed. -
Eliminated use of TH in test suite.
-
Added
Text.Pandoc.Data
(non-exported) to hold the association list of embedded data files, if theembed_data_files
flag is selected. This isolates the code that needs special treatment with file-embed orhsb2hs
. -
Changes to
make-windows-installer.bat
.- Exit batch file if any of the cabal-dev installs fail.
- There’s no longer any need to reinstall
highlighting-kate
. - Don’t start with a
cabal update
; leave that to the user. - Force reinstall of pandoc.
-
Fixed EPUB writer so it builds with blaze-html 0.4.x. Thanks to Jens Petersen.
pandoc 1.10.0.4 (2013-01-20)
- Fixed bug with escaped % in LaTeX reader. Closes #710.
pandoc 1.10.0.3 (2013-01-20)
- Added further missing fb2 tests to cabal file.
pandoc 1.10.0.2 (2013-01-20)
- Added fb2 tests to cabal file’s extra-source-files.
pandoc 1.10.0.1 (2013-01-20)
- Bump version bounds on test-framework packages.
pandoc 1.10 (2013-01-19)
New features
-
New input formats:
mediawiki
(MediaWiki markup). -
New output formats:
epub3
(EPUB v3 with MathML),fb2
(FictionBook2 ebooks). -
New
--toc-depth
option, specifying how many levels of headers to include in a table of contents. -
New
--epub-chapter-level
option, specifying the header level at which to divide EPUBs into separate files. Note that this normally affects only performance, not the visual presentation of the EPUB in a reader. -
Removed the
--strict
option. Instead of using--strict
, one can now use the format namemarkdown_strict
for either input or output. This gives more fine-grained control that--strict
did, allowing one to convert from pandoc’s markdown to strict markdown or vice versa. -
It is now possible to enable or disable specific syntax extensions by appending them (with
+
or-
) to the writer or reader name. For example,pandoc -f markdown-footnotes+hard_line_breaks
disables footnotes and enables treating newlines as hard line breaks. The literate Haskell extensions are now implemented this way as well, using either
+lhs
or+literate_haskell
. For a list of extension names, see the README under “Pandoc’s Markdown.” -
The following aliases have been introduced for specific combinations of markdown extensions:
markdown_phpextra
,markdown_github
,markdown_mmd
,markdown_strict
. These aliases work just like regular reader and writer names, and can be modified with extension modifiers as described above. (Note that conversion from one markdown dialect to another does not work perfectly, because there are differences in markdown parsers besides just the extensions, and because pandoc’s internal document model is not rich enough to capture all of the extensions.) -
New
--html-q-tags
option. The previous default was to use<q>
tags for smart quotes in HTML5. But<q>
tags are also valid HTML4. Moreover, they are not a robust way of typesetting quotes, since some user agents don’t support them, and some CSS resets (e.g. bootstrap) prevent pandoc’s quotes CSS from working properly. We now just insert literal quote characters by default in bothhtml
andhtml5
output, but this option is provided for those who still want<q>
tags. -
The markdown reader now prints warnings (to stderr) about duplicate link and note references. Closes #375.
-
Markdown syntax extensions:
-
Added pipe tables. Thanks to François Gannaz for the initial patch. These conform to PHP Markdown Extra’s pipe table syntax. A subset of org-mode table syntax is also supported, which means that you can use org-mode’s nice table editor to create tables.
-
Added support for RST-style line blocks. These are useful for verse and addresses.
-
Attributes can now be specified for headers, using the same syntax as in code blocks. (However, currently only the identifier has any effect in most writers.) For example,
# My header {#foo} See [the header above](#foo).
-
Pandoc will now act as if link references have been defined for all headers without explicit identifiers. So, you can do this:
# My header Link to [My header]. Another link to [it][My header].
Closes #691.
-
-
LaTeX reader:
- Command macros now work everywhere, including non-math. Environment macros still not supported.
\input
now works, as well as\include
. TEXINPUTS is used. Pandoc looks recursively into included files for more included files.
Behavior changes
-
The Markdown reader no longer puts the text of autolinks in a
Code
inline. This means that autolinks will no longer appear in a monospace font. -
The character
/
can now appear in markdown citation keys. -
HTML blocks in strict_markdown are no longer required to begin at the left margin. Technically this is required, according to the markdown syntax document, but
Markdown.pl
and other markdown processors are more liberal. -
The
-V
option has been changed so that if there are duplicate variables, those specified later on the command line take precedence. -
Tight lists now work in LaTeX and ConTeXt output.
-
The LaTeX writer no longer relien on the
enumerate
package. Instead, it uses standard LaTeX commands to change the list numbering style. -
The LaTeX writer now uses
longtable
instead ofctable
. This allows tables to be split over page boundaries. -
The RST writer now uses a line block to render paragraphs containing linebreaks (which previously weren’t supported at all).
-
The markdown writer now applies the
--id-prefix
to footnote IDs. Closes #614. -
The plain writer no longer uses backslash-escaped line breaks (which are not very “plain”).
-
Text.Pandoc.UTF8
: Better error message for invalid UTF8. Read bytestring and useText
’s decodeUtf8 instead of usingSystem.IO.hGetContents
. This way you get a message saying “invalid UTF-8 stream” instead of “invalid byte sequence.” You are also told which byte caused the problem. -
Docx, ODT, and EPUB writers now download images specified by a URL instead of skipping them or raising an error.
-
EPUB writer:
- The default CSS now left-aligns headers by default, instead of centering. This is more consistent with the rest of the writers.
- A proper multi-level table of contents is now used in
toc.ncx
. There is no longer a subsidiary table of contents at the beginning of each chapter. - Code highlighting now works by default.
- Section divs are used by default for better semantic markup.
- The title is used instead of “Title Page” in the table of contents. Otherwise we have a hard-coded English string, which looks strange in ebooks written in other languages. Closes #572.
-
HTML writer:
- Put mathjax in span with class “math”. Closes #562.
- Put citations in a span with class “citation.” In HTML5, also include
a
data-cite
attribute with a space-separated list of citation keys.
-
Text.Pandoc.UTF8
: use universalNewlineMode in reading. This treats both\r\n
and\n
as\n
on input, no matter what platform we’re running on. -
Citation processing is now done in the Markdown and LaTeX readers, not in
pandoc.hs
. This makes it easier for library users to use citations.
Template changes
-
HTML: Added css to template to preserve spaces in
<code>
tags. Thanks to Dirk Laurie. -
Beamer: Remove English-centric strings in section pages. Section pages used to have “Section” and a number as well as the section title. Now they just have the title. Similarly for part and subsection. Closes #566.
-
LaTeX, ConTeXt: Added papersize variable.
-
LaTeX, Beamer templates: Use longtable instead of ctable.
-
LaTeX, Beamer templates: Don’t require ‘float’ package for tables. We don’t actually seem to use the ‘[H]’ option.
-
Markdown, plain: Fixed titleblock so it is just a single string. Previously separate title, author, and date variables were used, but this didn’t allow different kinds of title blocks.
-
EPUB:
- Rationalized templates. Previously there were three different
templates involved in epub production. There is now just one
template,
default.epub
ordefault.epub3
. It can now be overridden using--template
, just like other templates. The titlepage is now folded into the default template. Atitlepage
variable selects it. - UTF-8, lang tag, meta tags, title element.
- Rationalized templates. Previously there were three different
templates involved in epub production. There is now just one
template,
-
Added scale-to-width feature to beamer template
API changes
-
Text.Pandoc.Definition
: AddedAttr
field toHeader
. Previously header identifiers were autogenerated by the writers. Now they are added in the readers (either automatically or explicitly). -
Text.Pandoc.Builder
:Inlines
andBlocks
are now synonyms forMany Inline
andMany Block
.Many
is a newtype wrapper aroundSeq
, with custom Monoid instances forMany Inline
andMany Block. This allows
Manyto be made an instance of
Foldableand
Traversable`.- The old
Listable
class has been removed. - The module now exports
isNull
,toList
,fromList
. - The old
Read
andShow
instances have been removed; derived instances are now used. - Added
headerWith
.
-
The readers now take a
ReaderOptions
rather than aParserState
as a parameter. Indeed, not all parsers use theParserState
type; some have a custom state. The motivation for this change was to separate user-specifiable options from the accounting functions of parser state. -
New module
Text.Pandoc.Options
. This includes theWriterOptions
formerly inText.Pandoc.Shared
, and its associated data types. It also includes a new typeReaderOptions
, which contains many options formerly inParserState
, and its associated data types:ParserState.stateParseRaw
->ReaderOptions.readerParseRaw
.ParserState.stateColumns
->ReaderOptions.readerColumns
.ParserState.stateTabStop
->ReaderOptions.readerTabStop
.ParserState.stateOldDashes

.writerEPUBMetadata
has been renamedwriterEpubMetadata
for consistency. -
Changed signatures of
writeODT
,writeDocx
,writeEPUB
, since they no longer stylesheet, fonts, reference files as separate parameters. -
Removed
writerLiterateHaskell
fromWriterOptions
, andreaderLiterateHaskell
fromReaderOptions
. LHS is now handled by an extension (Ext_literate_haskell
). -
Removed deprecated

Text.Pandoc.Options
exportspandocExtensions

New
Text.Pandoc.Readers.MediaWiki
module, exportingreadMediaWiki
. -
New
Text.Pandoc.Writers.FB2
module, exportingwriteFB2
(thanks to Sergey Astanin). -
Text.Pandoc
:- Added
getReader
,getWriter
toText.Pandoc
. writers
is now an association list(String, Writer)
. AWriter
can be aPureStringWriter
, anIOStringWriter
, or anIOByteStringWriter
. ALL writers are now in the ‘writers’ list, including the binary writers and FB2 writer. This allows code inpandoc.hs
to be simplified.- Changed type of
readers
, so all readers are in IO. Users who want pure readers can still get them form the reader modules; this just affects the functiongetReader
that looks up a reader based on the format name. The point of this change is to make it possible to print warnings from the parser.
- Added
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
:Text.Parsec
now exports all Parsec functions used in pandoc code. No other module directly imports Parsec. This will make it easier to change the parsing backend in the future, if we want to.Text.Parsec
is used instead ofText.ParserCombinators.Parsec
.- Export the type synonym
Parser
. - Export
widthsFromIndices
,NoteTable'
,KeyTable'

.Text.Pandoc
re-exportsdef
. Now you can usedef

Bug fixes
-
Make
--ascii
work properly with--self-contained
. Closes #568. -
Markdown reader:
-
Fixed link parser to avoid exponential slowdowns. Closes #620. Previously the parser would hang on input like this:
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[hi
We fixed this by making the link parser parser characters between balanced brackets (skipping brackets in inline code spans), then parsing the result as an inline list. One change is that
[hi *there]* bud](/url)
is now no longer parsed as a link. But in this respect pandoc behaved differently from most other implementations anyway, so that seems okay.
-
Look for raw html/latex blocks before tables. Otherwise the following gets parsed as a table:
\begin{code} -------------- -- My comment. \end{code}
Closes #578.
-
-
RST reader:
-
Added support for
:target:
on.. image::
blocks and substitutions. -
Field list fixes:
- Fixed field lists items with body beginning after a new line (Denis Laxalde).
- Allow any char but ‘:’ in names of field lists in RST reader (Denis Laxalde).
- Don’t allow line breaks in field names.
- Require whitespace after field list field names.
- Don’t create empty definition list for metadata field lists. Previously a field list consisting only of metadata fields (author, title, date) would be parsed as an empty DefinitionList, which is not legal in LaTeX and not needed in any format.
-
Don’t recognize inline-markup starts inside words. For example,
2*2 = 4*1
should not contain an emphasized section. Added test case for “Literal symbols”. Closes #569. -
Allow dashes as separator in simple tables. Closes #555.
-
Added support for
container
,compound
,epigraph
,rubric
,highlights
,pull-quote
. -
Added support for
.. code::
. -
Made directive labels case-insensitive.
-
Removed requirement that directives begin at left margin. This was (correctly) not in earlier releases; docutils doesn’t make the requirement.
-
Added support for
replace::
andunicode::
substitutions. -
Ignore unknown interpreted roles.
-
Renamed image parser to
subst
, since it now handles all substitution references.
-
-
Textile reader:
-
Allow newlines before pipes in table. Closes #654.
-
Fixed bug with list items containing line breaks. Now pandoc correctly handles hard line breaks inside list items. Previously they broke list parsing.
-
Implemented comment blocks.
-
Fixed bug affected words ending in hyphen.
-
Properly handle links with surrounding brackets. Square brackets need to be used when the link isn’t surrounded by spaces or punctuation, or when the URL ending may be ambiguous. Closes #564.
-
Removed nullBlock. Better to know about parsing problems than to skip stuff when we get stuck.
-
Allow ID attributes on headers.
-
Textile reader: Avoid parsing dashes as strikeout. Previously the input
text-- text-- text-- text--
would be parsed with strikeouts rather than dashes. This fixes the problem by requiring that a strikeout delimiting - not be followed by a -. Closes #631.
-
Expanded list of
stringBreakers
. This fixes a bug on input like “(hello)” which should be a parenthesized emphasized “hello”. The new list is taken from the PHP source of textile 2.4. -
Fixed autolinks. Previously the textile reader and writer incorrectly implemented RST-style autolinks for URLs and email addresses. This has been fixed. Now an autolink is done this way:
"$":http://myurl.com
. -
Fixed footnotes bug in textile. This affected notes occurring before punctuation, e.g.
foo[1].
. Closes #518.
-
-
LaTeX reader:
- Better handling of citation commands.
- Better handling of
\noindent
. - Added a ‘try’ in rawLaTeXBlock, so we can handle
\begin
without{
. Closes #622. - Made
rawLaTeXInline
try to parse block commands as well. This is usually what we want, given howrawLaTeXInline
is used in the markdown and textile readers. If a block-level LaTeX command is used in the middle of a paragraph (e.g.\subtitle
inside a title), we can treat it as raw inline LaTeX. - Handle
\slash
command. Closes #605. - Basic
\enquote
support. - Fixed parsing of paragraphs beginning with a group. Closes #606.
- Use curly quotes for bare straight quotes.
- Support obeylines environment. Closes #604.
- Guard against “begin”, “end” in inlineCommand and blockCommand.
- Better error messages for environments. Now it should tell you that it was looking for \end{env}, instead of giving “unknown parse error.”
-
HTML reader:
- Added HTML 5 tags to list of block-level tags.
- HTML reader: Fixed bug in
htmlBalanced
, which caused hangs in parsing certain markdown input using strict mode. - Parse
<q>
asQuoted DoubleQuote
. - Handle nested
<q>
tags properly. - Modified
htmlTag
for fewer false positives. A tag must start with<
followed by!
,?
,/
, or a letter. This makes it more useful in the wikimedia and markdown parsers.
-
DocBook reader: Support title in “figure” element. Closes #650.
-
MediaWiki writer:
- Remove newline after
<br/>
in translation ofLineBreak
There’s no particular need for a newline (other than making the generated MediaWiki source look nice to a human), and in fact sometimes it is incorrect: in particular, inside an enumeration, list items cannot have embedded newline characters. (Brent Yorgey) - Use
<code>
not<tt>
for Code.
- Remove newline after
-
Man writer: Escape
-
as\-
. Unescaped-
’s become hyphens, while\-
’s are left as ascii minus signs. That is preferable for use with command-line options. See http://lintian.debian.org/tags/hyphen-used-as-minus-sign.html. Thanks to Andrea Bolognani for bringing the issue to our attention. -
RST writer:
- Improved line block output. Use nonbreaking spaces for initial indent (otherwise lost in HTML and LaTeX). Allow multiple paragraphs in a single line block. Allow soft breaks w continuations in line blocks.
- Properly handle images with no alt text. Closes #678.
- Fixed bug with links with duplicate text. We now (a) use anonymous links for links with inline URLs, and (b) use an inline link instead of a reference link if the reference link would require a label that has already been used for a different link. Closes #511.
- Fixed hyperlinked images. Closes #611. Use
:target:
field when you have a simple linked image. - Don’t add
:align: center
to figures.
-
Texinfo writer: Fixed internal cross-references. Now we insert anchors after each header, and use
@ref
instead of@uref
for links. Commas are now escaped as@comma{}
only when needed; previously all commas were escaped. (This change is needed, in part, because@ref
commands must be followed by a real comma or period.) Also insert a blank line in from of@verbatim
environments. -
DocBook writer:
- Made –id-prefix work in DocBook as well as HTML. Closes #607.
- Don’t include empty captions in figures. Closes #581.
-
LaTeX writer:
- Use
\hspace*
for nonbreaking space after line break, since~
spaces after a line break are just ignored. Closes #687. - Don’t escape
_
in URLs or hyperref identifiers. - Properly escape strings inside
\url{}
. Closes #576. - Use
[fragile]
only for slides containing code rendered using listings. Closes #649. - Escape
|
as\vert
in LaTeX math. This avoids a clash with highlighting-kate’s macros, which redefine|
as a short verbatim delimiter. Thanks to Björn Peemöller for raising this issue. - Use minipage rather than parbox for block containers in tables. This allows verbatim code to be included in grid tables. Closes #663.
- Prevent paragraphs containing only linebreaks or spaces.
- Use
-
HTML writer:
- Included
highlighting-css
for code spans, too. Previously it was only included if used in a code block. Closes #653. - Improved line breaks with
<dd>
tags. We now put a newline between</dd>
and<dd>
when there are multiple definitions. - Changed mathjax cdn url so it doesn’t use https. (This caused
problems when used with
--self-contained
.) See #609.
- Included
-
EPUB writer:
--number-sections
now works properly.- Don’t strip meta and link elements in epub metadata. Patch from aberrancy. Closes #589.
- Fixed a couple validation bugs.
- Use ch001, ch002, etc. for chapter filenames. This improves sorting of chapters in some readers, which apparently sort ch2 after ch10. Closes #610.
-
ODT writer: properly set title property (Arlo O’Keeffe).
-
Docx writer:
-
Fixed bug with nested lists. Previously a list like
1. one - a - b 2. two
would come out with a bullet instead of “2.” Thanks to Russell Allen for reporting the bug.
-
Use
w:cr
inw:r
instead ofw:br
for linebreaks. This seems to fix a problem viewing pandoc-generated docx files in LibreOffice. -
Use integer ids for bookmarks. Closes #626.
-
Added nsid to abstractNum elements. This helps when merging word documents with numbered or bulleted lists. Closes #627.
-
Use separate footnotes.xml for notes. This seems to help LibreOffice convert the file, even though it was valid docx before. Closes #637.
-
Use rIdNN identifiers for r:embed in images.
-
Avoid reading image files again when we’ve already processed them.
-
Fixed typo in
referenc.docx
that prevented image captions from working. Thanks to Huashan Chen.
-
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
:- Fixed bug in
withRaw
, which didn’t correctly handle the case where nothing is parsed. - Made
emailAddress
parser more correct. Now it is based on RFC 822, though it still doesn’t implement quoted strings in email addresses. - Revised URI parser. It now allows many more schemes, allows uppercase URIs, and better handles trailing punctuation and trailing slashes in bare URIs. Added many tests.
- Simplified and improved singleQuoteStart. This makes
's'
,'l'
, etc. parse properly. Formerly we had some English-centric heuristics, but they are no longer needed. Closes #698.
- Fixed bug in
-
Text.Pandoc.Pretty
: Added wide punctuation range tocharWidth
. This fixes bug with Chinese commas in markdown and reST tables, and a bug that caused combining characters to be dropped. -
Text.Pandoc.MIME
: Added MIME types for .wof and .eot. Closes #640. -
Text.Pandoc.Biblio
:- Run
mvPunc
anddeNote
on metadata too. This fixed a bug with notes on titles using footnote styles. - Fixed bug in fetching CSL files from CSL data directory.
- Run
-
pandoc.hs
: Give correct value towriterSourceDirectory
when a URL is provided. It should be the URL up to the path. -
Fixed/simplified diff output for tests. Biblio: Make sure mvPunc and deNote run on metadata too. This fixed a bug with notes on titles using footnote styles.
Under the hood improvements
-
We no longer depend on
utf8-string
. Instead we use functions defined inText.Pandoc.UTF8
that useData.Text
’s conversions. -
Use
safeRead
instead of usingreads
directly (various modules). -
“Implicit figures” (images alone in a paragraph) are now handled differently. The markdown reader gives their titles the prefix
fig:
; the writers look for this before treating the image as a figure. Though this is a bit of a hack, it has two advantages: (i) implicit figures can be limited to the markdown reader, and (ii) they can be deactivated by turning off theimplicit_figures
extension. -
catch
fromControl.Exception
is now used instead of the old Prefacecatch
. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared
: Improved algorithm fornormalizeSpaces
andoneOfStrings
(which is now non-backtracking). -
Text.Pandoc.Biblio
: Remove workaround fortoCapital
. Now citeproc-hs is fixed upstream, so this is no longer needed. Closes #531. -
Textile reader: Improved speed of
hyphenedWords
. This speeds up the textile reader by about a factor of 4. -
Use
Text.Pandoc.Builder
in RST reader, for more flexibility, better performance, and automatic normalization. -
Major rewrite of markdown reader:
- Use
Text.Pandoc.Builder
instead of lists. This also means that everything is normalized automatically. - Move to a one-pass parsing strategy, returning values in the reader monad, which are then run (at the end of parsing) against the final parser state.
- Use
-
In HTML writer, we now use
toHtml
instead of pre-escaping. We work around the problem that blaze-html unnecessarily escapes'
by pre-escaping just the'
characters, instead of the whole string. If blaze-html later stops escaping'
characters, we can simplifystrToHtml
totoHtml
. Closes #629. -
Moved code for embedding images in RTFs from
pandoc.hs
to the RTF writer (which now exportswriteRTFWithEmbeddedImages
). -
Moved citation processing from
pandoc.hs
into the readers. This makes things more convenient for library users. -
The man pages are now built by an executable
make-pandoc-man-pages
, which has its own stanza in the cabal file so that dependencies can be handled by Cabal. Special treatment inSetup.hs
ensures that this executable never gets installed; it is only used to create the man pages. -
The cabal file has been modified so that the pandoc library is used in building the pandoc executable. (This required moving
pandoc.hs
fromsrc
to.
.) This cuts compile time in half. -
The
executable
andlibrary
flags have been removed. -
-threaded
has been removed from ghc-options. -
Version bounds of dependencies have been raised, and the
blaze_html_0_5
flag now defaults to True. Pandoc now compiles on GHC 7.6. -
We now require base >= 4.2.
-
Integrated the benchmark program into cabal. One can now do:
cabal configure --enable-benchmarks && cabal build cabal bench --benchmark-option='markdown' --benchmark-option='-s 20'
The benchmark now uses README + testsuite, so benchmark results from older versions aren’t comparable.
-
Integrated test suite with cabal. To run tests, configure with
--enable-tests
, thencabal test
. You can specify particular tests using--test-options='-t markdown'
. No output is shown unless tests fail. The Haskell test modules have been moved fromsrc/
totests/
. -
Moved all data files and templates to the
data/
subdirectory. -
Added an
embed_data_files
cabal flag. This causes all data files to be embedded in the binary, so that the binary is self-sufficient and can be relocated anywhere, copied on a USB key, etc. The Windows installer now uses this. (Since we no longer have the option to build the executable without the library, this is the only way to get a relocatable binary on Windows.) -
Removed pcre3.dll from windows package. It isn’t needed unless highlighting-kate is compiled with the
pcre-light
flag. By default, regex-prce-builtin is used.
pandoc 1.9.4.5 (2012-10-21)
- Raised version bounds on network, base64-bytestring, json, and template-haskell.
pandoc 1.9.4.4 (2012-10-20)
-
Removed
tests
flag and made test suite into a proper cabal test suite, which can now be enabled using--enable-tests
and run withcabal test
. -
Moved man page creation out of
Setup.hs
and into an executable built by Cabal, but never installed. This allows dependencies to be specified, and solves a problem with 1.9.4.3, which could only be installed ifdata-default
had already been installed. -
Updated
lhs-latex.tex
test for latest highlighting-kate representation of backticks.
pandoc 1.9.4.3 (2012-10-20)
-
Removed
-threaded
from default compile flags. -
Modified modules to compile with GHC 7.6 and latest version of time package.
pandoc 1.9.4.2 (2012-06-29)
-
Don’t encode/decode file paths if base >= 4.4. Prior to base 4.4, filepaths and command line arguments were treated as unencoded lists of bytes, not unicode strings, so we had to work around that by encoding and decoding them. This commit adds CPP checks for the base version that intelligibly enable encoding/decoding when needed. Fixes a bug with multilingual filenames when pandoc was compiled with ghc 7.4 (#540).
-
Don’t generate an empty H1 after hrule slide breaks. We now use a slide-level header with contents
[Str "\0"]
to mark an hrule break. This avoids creation of an empty H1 in these contexts. Closes #484. -
Docbook reader: Added support for “bold” emphasis. Thanks to mb21.
-
In make_osx_package.sh, ensure citeproc-hs is built with the embed_data_files flag.
-
MediaWiki writer: Avoid extra blank lines after sublists (Gavin Beatty).
-
ConTeXt writer: Don’t escape
&
,^
,<
,>
,_
, simplified escapes for}
and{
to\{
and\}
(Aditya Mahajan). -
Fixed handling of absolute URLs in CSS imports with
--self-contained
. Closes #535. -
Added webm to mime types. Closes #543.
-
Added some missing exports and tests to the cabal file (Alexander V Vershilov).
-
Compile with
-rtsopts
and-threaded
by default.
pandoc 1.9.4.1 (2012-06-08)
-
Markdown reader: Added
cf.
andcp.
to list of likely abbreviations. -
LaTeX template: Added
linkcolor
,urlcolor
andlinks-as-notes
variables. Make TOC links black. -
LaTeX template improvements.
- Don’t print date unless one is given explicitly in the document.
- Simplified templates.
- Use fontenc [T1] by default, and lmodern.
- Use microtype if available.
-
Biblio:
- Add comma to beginning of bare suffix, e.g.
@item1 [50]
. Motivation:@item1 [50]
should be as close as possible to[@item1, 50]
. - Added workaround for a bug in citeproc-hs 0.3.4 that causes footnotes beginning with a citation to be empty. Closes #531.
- Add comma to beginning of bare suffix, e.g.
-
Fixed documentation on mixed lists. Closes #533.
pandoc 1.9.4 (2012-06-03)
-
Simplified
Text.Pandoc.Biblio
and fixed bugs with citations inside footnotes and captions. We now handle note citations by inserting footnotes during initial citation processing, and doing a separate pass later to remove notes inside notes. -
Added ‘zenburn’ highlight style from highlighting-kate.
-
Added Slideous writer. Slideous is an HTML + javascript slide show format, similar to Slidy, but works with IE 7. (Jonas Smedegaard)
-
LaTeX writer:
- Ensure we don’t have extra blank lines at ends of cells. This can cause LaTeX errors, as they are interpreted as new paragraphs.
- More consistent interblock spacing.
- Require highlighting-kate >= 0.5.1, for proper highlighted inline code in LaTeX. Closes #527.
- Ensure that a Verbatim at the end of a footnote is followed by a newline. (Fixes a regression in the previous version.)
- In default template, use black for internal links and TOC. Added commented-out code to use footnotes for links, as would be suitable in print output.
-
Beamer writer: When
--incremental
is used, lists inside a block quote should appear all at once. (This makes Beamer output consistent with the HTML slide show formats.) -
ConTeXt writer:
- Escape
%
as\letterpercent{}
not\letterpercent
, to avoid gobbling spaces after the%
sign. - Ensure space after
\stopformula
.
- Escape
-
Markdown writer:
- Use
:
form instead of~
in definition lists, for better compatibility with other markdown implementations. - Don’t wrap the term, because it breaks definition lists.
- Use a nonzero space to prevent false recognition of list marker in ordered lists. Closes #516.
- Use
-
Org writer: Add space before language name. Closes #523.
-
Docx writer: Simplified bullet characters so they work properly with Word 2007. Closes #520.
-
LaTeX reader: Support
\centerline
. -
RST reader: handle figures. Closes #522.
-
Textile reader: fix for
<notextile>
and==
. Closes #517. (Paul Rivier)
pandoc 1.9.3 (2012-05-12)
-
Added docbook reader (with contributions from Mauro Bieg).
-
Fixed bug in
fromEntities
. The previous version would turnhi & low you know;
intohi &
. -
HTML reader:
- Don’t skip nonbreaking spaces.
Previously a paragraph containing just
would be rendered as an empty paragraph. Thanks to Paul Vorbach for pointing out the bug. - Support
<col>
and<caption>
in tables. Closes #486.
- Don’t skip nonbreaking spaces.
Previously a paragraph containing just
-
Markdown reader:
- Don’t recognize references inside delimited code blocks.
- Allow list items to begin with lists.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Handle
\bgroup
,\egroup
,\begingroup
,\endgroup
. - Control sequences can’t be followed by a letter.
This fixes a bug where
\begingroup
was parsed as\begin
followed bygroup
. - Parse ‘dimension’ arguments to unknown commands. e.g.
\parindent0pt
- Make
\label
and\ref
sensitive to--parse-raw
. If--parse-raw
is selected, these will be parsed as raw latex inlines, rather than bracketed text. - Don’t crash on unknown block commands (like
\vspace{10pt}
) inside\author
; just skip them. Closes #505.
- Handle
-
Textile reader:
- Implemented literal escapes with
==
and<notextile>
. Closes #473. - Added support for LaTeX blocks and inlines (Paul Rivier).
- Better conformance to RedCloth inline parsing (Paul Rivier).
- Parse ‘+text+’ as emphasized (should be underlined, but this is better than leaving literal plus characters in the output.
- Implemented literal escapes with
-
Docx writer: Fixed multi-paragraph list items. Previously they each got a list marker. Closes #457.
-
LaTeX writer:
- Added
--no-tex-ligatures
option to avoid replacing quotation marks and dashes with TeX ligatures. - Use
fixltx2e
package to provide\textsubscript
. - Improve spacing around LaTeX block environments: quote, verbatim, itemize, description, enumerate. Closes #502.
- Use blue instead of pink for URL links in latex/pdf output.
- Added
-
ConTeXt writer: Fixed escaping of
%
. In text,%
needs to be escaped as\letterpercent
, not\%
Inside URLs,%
needs to be escaped as\%
Thanks to jmarca and adityam for the fix. Closes #492. -
Texinfo writer: Escape special characters in node titles. This fixes a problem pointed out by Joost Kremers. Pandoc used to escape an ‘@’ in a chapter title, but not in the corresponding node title, leading to invalid texinfo.
-
Fixed document encoding in texinfo template. Resolves Debian Bug #667816.
-
Markdown writer:
- Don’t force delimited code blocks to be flush left. Fixes bug with delimited code blocks inside lists etc.
- Escape
<
and$
.
-
LaTeX writer: Use
\hyperref[ident]{text}
for internal links. Previously we used\href{\#ident}{text}
, which didn’t work on all systems. Thanks to Dirk Laurie. -
RST writer: Don’t wrap link references. Closes #487.
-
Updated to use latest versions of blaze-html, mtl.
pandoc 1.9.2 (2012-04-05)
-
LaTeX reader:
- Made
lstlisting
work as a proper verbatim environment. - Fixed bug parsing LaTeX tables with one column.
- Made
-
LaTeX writer:
- Use
{}
aroundctable
caption, so that formatting can be used. - Don’t require eurosym package unless document has a €.
- Use
-
LaTeX template: Added variables for
geometry
,romanfont
,sansfont
,mathfont
,mainfont
so users can more easily customize fonts. -
PDF writer:
- Run latex engine at least two times, to ensure that PDFs will have hyperlinked bookmarks.
- Added PDF metadata (title,author) in LaTeX standalone + PDF output.
-
Texinfo writer: retain directories in image paths. (Peter Wang)
-
RST writer: Better handling of inline formatting, in accord with docutils’ “inline markup recognition rules” (though we don’t implement the unicode rules fully). Now
hi*there*hi
gets rendered properly ashi\ *there*\ hi
, and unnecessary\
are avoided around:math:
,:sub:
,:sup:
. -
RST reader:
- Parse
\
as null, not escaped space. - Allow
:math:`...`
even when not followed by blank or\
. This does not implement the complex rule docutils follows, but it should be good enough for most purposes. - Add support for the rST default-role directive. (Greg Maslov)
- Parse
-
Text.Pandoc.Parsing: Added
stateRstDefaultRole
field toParserState
. (Greg Maslov) -
Markdown reader: Properly handle citations nested in other inline elements.
-
Markdown writer: don’t replace empty alt in image with “image”.
-
DZSlides: Updated template.html and styles in default template. Removed bizarre CSS for
q
in dzslides template. -
Avoid repeated
id
attribute in section and header in HTML slides. -
README improvements: new instructions on internal links, removed misleading note on reST math.
-
Build system:
- Fixed Windows installer so that dzslides works.
- Removed stripansi.sh.
- Added .travis.yml for Travis continuous integration support..
- Fixed upper bound for zlib (Sergei Trofimovich).
- Fixed upper bound for test-framework.
- Updated haddocks for haddock-2.10 (Sergei Trofimovich).
pandoc 1.9.1.2 (2012-03-09)
-
Added
beamer+lhs
as output format. -
Don’t escape
<
in<style>
tags with--self-contained
. This fixes a bug which prevented highlighting from working when using--self-contained
. -
PDF: run latex engine three times if
--toc
specified. This fixes page numbers in the table of contents. -
Docx writer: Added TableNormal style to tables.
-
LaTeX math environment fixes.
aligned
is now used instead of the nonexistentaligned*
.multline
instead of the nonexistentmultiline
. -
LaTeX writer: Use
\textasciitilde
for literal~
. -
HTML writer: Don’t escape contents of EQ tags with –gladtex. This fixes a regression from 1.8.
-
Use
<q>
tags for Quoted items for HTML5 output. The quote style can be changed by modifying the template or including a css file. A default quote style is included. -
LaTeX reader: Fixed accents (~{a},
\c{c}
). Correctly handle ^{}. Support “minted” as a LaTeX verbatim block. -
Updated LaTeX template for better language support. Use
polyglossia
instead ofbabel
with xetex. Setlang
as documentclass option.\setmainlanguage
will use the last of a comma-separated list of languages. Thanks to François Gannaz. -
Fixed default LaTeX template so
\euro
and€
work. Theeurosym
package is needed if you are using pdflatex. -
Fixed escaping of period in man writer (thanks to Michael Thompson).
-
Fixed list label positions in beamer.
-
Set
mainlang
variable in context writer. This parallels behavior of latex writer.mainlang
is the last of a comma-separated list of languages in lang. -
EPUB language metadat: convert e.g.
en_US
from locale toen-US
. -
Changed
-V
so that you can specify a key without a value. Such keys get the valuetrue
. -
Fixed permissions on installed man pages - thanks Magnus Therning.
-
Windows installer: require XP or higher. The installer is now compiled on a Windows 7 machine, which fixes a problem using citation functions on Windows 7.
-
OSX package: Check for 64-bit Intel CPU before installing.
pandoc 1.9.1.1 (2012-02-11)
-
Better handling of raw latex environments in markdown. Now
\begin{equation} a_1 \end{equation}
turns into a raw latex block as expected.
-
Improvements to LaTeX reader:
- Skip options after block commands.
- Correctly handle
{\\}
in braced. - Added a needed ‘try’.
- Citations: add
,
to suffix if it doesn’t start with space or punctuation. Otherwise we get no space between the year and the suffix in author-date styles.
-
Added two needed data files for S5. This fixes a problem with
pandoc -t s5 --self-contained
. Also removedslides.min.js
, which was no longer being used. -
Fixed some minor problems in
reference.docx
: name on “Date” style,xCs
instead ofxIs
. -
Fixed a problem creating docx files using a reference docx modified using Word. The problem seems to be that Word modifies
_rels/.rels
, changing the Type of the Relationship todocProps/core.xml
. Pandoc now changes this back to the correct value if it has been altered, fixing the problem. -
Fixed html5 template so it works properly with highlighting.
pandoc 1.9.1 (2012-02-09)
-
LaTeX reader:
- Fixed regression in 1.9; properly handle escaped $ in latex math.
- Put LaTeX verse environments in blockquotes.
-
Markdown reader:
- Limit nesting of strong/emph. This avoids exponential lookahead
in parasitic cases, like
a**a*a**a*a**a*a**a*a**a*a**a*a**a*a**
. - Improved attributes syntax (in code blocks/spans): (1) Attributes can contain line breaks. (2) Values in key-value attributes can be surrounded by either double or single quotes, or left unquoted if they contain no spaces.
- Limit nesting of strong/emph. This avoids exponential lookahead
in parasitic cases, like
-
Headers no longer wrap in markdown or RST writers.
-
Added
stateMaxNestingLevel
toParserState
. We set this to 6, so you can still haveEmph
insideEmph
, just not indefinitely. -
More efficient implementation of
nowrap
inText.Pandoc.Pretty
. -
Text.Pandoc.PDF
: Only run latex twice if\tableofcontents
is present. -
Require highlighting-kate >= 0.5.0.2, texmath >= 0.6.0.2.
pandoc 1.9.0.5 (2012-02-06)
-
Changed cabal file so that build-depends for the test program are not required unless the tests flag is used.
-
LaTeX writer: insert
{}
between adjacent hyphens so they don’t form ligatures (dashes) in code spans.
pandoc 1.9.0.4 (2012-02-06)
-
Raised version bound on test-framework to avoid problems compiling tests on GHC 7.4.1.
-
LaTeX reader: Use raw LaTeX as fallback inline text for Cites, so citations don’t just disappear unless you process with citeproc. Ignore
\bibliographystyle
,\nocite
. -
Simplified tex2pdf; it will always run latex twice to resolve table of contents and hyperrefs.
pandoc 1.9.0.3 (2012-02-06)
-
Require Cabal >= 1.10.
-
Tweaked cabal file to meet Cabal 1.10 requirements.
pandoc 1.9.0.2 (2012-02-05)
- Allow build with json 0.4 or 0.5. Otherwise we can’t build with ghc 6.12.
pandoc 1.9 (2012-02-05)
New features
-
Added a Microsoft Word
docx
writer. The writer includes support for highlighted code and for math (which is converted from TeX to OMML, Office’s native math markup language, using texmath’s new OMML module). A new option--reference-docx
allows the user to customize the styles. -
Added an
asciidoc
writer (http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/). -
Better support for slide shows:
-
Added a
dzslides
writer. DZSlides is a lightweight HTML5/javascript slide show format due to Paul Rouget (http://paulrouget.com/dzslides/). -
Added a LaTeX
beamer
writer. Beamer is a LaTeX package for creating slide presentations. -
New, flexible rules for dividing documents into sections and slides (see the “Structuring the slide show” in the User’s Guide). These are backward-compatible with the old rules, but they allow slide shows to be organized into sections and subsections containing multiple slides.
-
A new
--slide-level
option allows users to override defaults and select a slide level below the first header level with content.
-
-
A new
--self-contained
option produces HTML output that does not depend on an internet connection or the presence of any external files. Linked images, CSS, and javascript is downloaded (or fetched locally) and encoded indata:
URIs. This is useful for making portableHTML slide shows. The --offline
option has been deprecated and is nowtreated as a synonym or --self-contained
. -
Support for PDF output:
- Removed the old
markdown2pdf
. pandoc
can now create PDFs (assuming you have latex and a set of appropriate packages installed): just specify an output file with the.pdf
extension.- A new option
--latex-engine
allows you to specifypdflatex
,xelatex
, orlualatex
as the processor.
- Removed the old
-
Highlighting changes:
- Syntax highlighting is now a standard feature; the
highlighting
flag is no longer needed when compiling. - A new
--no-highlight
option allows highlighting to be disabled. - Highlighting now works in
docx
,latex
, andepub
, as well ashtml
,html5
,dzslides
,s5
, andslidy
. - A new
--highlight-style
option selects between various highlighting color themes.
- Syntax highlighting is now a standard feature; the
-
Internal links to sections now work in ConTeXt and LaTeX as well as HTML.
-
LaTeX
\include
and\usepackage
commands are now processed, provided the files are in the working directory. -
EPUB improvements:
- Internal and external links now work in EPUB.
- Raw HTML is allowed.
- New
--epub-embed-font
option. - Customizable templates for EPUB pages offer more control over
formatting:
epub-page.html
,epub-coverimage.html
,epub-titlepage.html
.
-
--mathml
now works with DocBook. -
Added support for math in RST reader and writer. Inline math uses the
:math:`...`
construct. Display math uses.. math:: ...
or if the math is multiline,
.. math:: ...
These constructions are now supported now by
rst2latex.py
. -
Github syntax for fenced code blocks is supported in pandoc’s markdown. You can now write
```ruby x = 2 ```
instead of
~~~ {.ruby} x = 2 ~~~~
-
Easier scripting: a new
toJsonFilter
function makes it easier to write Haskell scripts to manipulate the Pandoc AST. See Scripting with pandoc.
Behavior changes
-
Fixed parsing of consecutive lists in markdown. Pandoc previously behaved like Markdown.pl for consecutive lists of different styles. Thus, the following would be parsed as a single ordered list, rather than an ordered list followed by an unordered list:
1. one 2. two - one - two
This change makes pandoc behave more sensibly, parsing this as two lists. Any change in list type (ordered/unordered) or in list number style will trigger a new list. Thus, the following will also be parsed as two lists:
1. one 2. two a. one b. two
Since we regard this as a bug in Markdown.pl, and not something anyone would ever rely on, we do not preserve the old behavior even when
--strict
is selected. -
Dashes work differently with
--smart
:---
is always em-dash, and--
is always en-dash. Pandoc no longer tries to guess when-
should be en-dash. Note: This may change how existing documents look when processed with pandoc. A new option,--old-dashes
, is provided for legacy documents. -
The markdown writer now uses setext headers for levels 1-2. The old behavior (ATX headers for all levels) can be restored using the new
--atx-headers
option. -
Links are now allowed in markdown image captions. They are also allowed in links, but will appear there as regular text. So,
[link with [link](/url)](/url)
will turn into
<p><a href="/url">link with link</a></p>
-
Improved handling of citations using
citeproc-hs-0.3.4
. Added--citation-abbreviations
option. -
Citation keys can no longer end with a punctuation character. This means that
@item1.
will be parsed as a citation with key ‘item1’, followed by a period, instead of a citation with key ‘item1.’, as was the case previously. -
In HTML output, citations are now put in a span with class
citation
. -
The markdown reader now recognizes DocBook block and inline 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. -
The LaTeX parser has been completely rewritten; it is now much more accurate, robust, and extensible. However, there are two important changes in how it treats unknown LaTeX. (1) Previously, unknown environments became BlockQuote elements; now, they are treated as “transparent”, so
\begin{unknown}xyz\end{unknown}
is the same asxyz
. (2) Previously, arguments of unknown commands were passed through with their braces; now the braces are stripped off. -
--smart
is no longer selected automatically withman
output. -
The deprecated
--xetex
option has been removed. -
The
--html5
/-5
option has been deprecated. Use-t html5
instead.html5
andhtml5+lhs
are now separate output formats. -
Single quotes are no longer escaped in HTML output. They do not need to be escaped outside of attributes.
-
Pandoc will no longer transform leading newlines in code blocks to
<br/>
tags. -
The ODT writer now sizes images appropriately, using the image size and DPI information embedded in the image.
-
--standalone
is once again implicitly for a non-text output format (ODT, EPUB). You can again dopandoc test.txt -o test.odt
and get a standalone ODT file. -
The Docbook writer now uses
<sect1>
,<sect2>
, etc. instead of<section>
. -
The HTML writer now uses
<del>
for strikeout. -
In HTML output with
--section-divs
, the classessection
andlevel[1,2,..6]
are put on thediv
tags so they can be styled. In HTML 5 output with--section-divs
, the classeslevel[1,2,...6]
are put onsection
tags. -
EPUB writer changes:
- The
lang
variable now sets the language in the metadata (if it is not set, we default to the locale). - EPUB: UTF-8 is used rather than decimal entities.
- The
-
Added
titleslide
class to title slide in S5 template. -
In HTML, EPUB, and docx metadata, the date is normalized into YYYY-MM-DD format if possible. (This is required for validation.)
-
Attributes in highlighted code blocks are now preserved in HTML. The container element will have the classes, id, and key-value attributes you specified in the delimited code block. Previously these were stripped off.
-
The reference backlink in the HTML writer no longer has a special
footnoteBacklink
class. -
The HTML template has been split into
html
andhtml5
templates. -
Author and date are treated more consistently in HTML templates. Authors are now
<h2>
, date<h3>
. -
URLs are hyphenated in the ConTeXt writer (B. Scott Michel).
-
In
Text.Pandoc.Builder
,+++
has been replaced by<>
.
Bug fixes
-
Better support for combining characters and East Asian wide characters in markdown and reST.
-
Better handling of single quotes with
--smart
. PreviouslyD'oh l'*aide*
would be parsed with left and right single quotes instead of apostrophes. This kind of error is now fixed. -
Highlighting: Use
reads
instead ofread
for better error handling. Fixes crash onstartNum="abc"
. -
Added blank comment after directives in rst template.
-
Unescape entities in citation
refId
. TherefId
s coming from citeproc contain XML numeric entities, and these don’t match with the citation keys parsed by pandoc. Solution is to unescape them. -
HTML reader: Fixed bug parsing tables with both thead and tbody.
-
Markdown reader:
- Better handling of escapes in link URLs and titles.
- Fixed backslash escapes in reference links.
- Fixed bug in table/hrule parsing, by checking that the top line of a table is not followed by a blank line. This bug caused slowdowns on some files with hrules and tables, as pandoc tried to interpret the hrules as the tops of multiline tables.
- Fixed bug in code block attribute parser. Previously the ID attribute got lost if it didn’t come first. Now attributes can come in any order.
-
RST reader: allow footnotes followed by newline without space characters.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Ignore empty groups {}, { }.
- LaTeX reader: Handle
\@
. - LaTeX reader: Don’t crash on commands like
\itemsep
. - LaTeX reader: Better handling of letter environments.
-
RST writer: Fixed bug involving empty table cells. isSimple was being calculated in a way that assumed there were no non-empty cells.
-
ConTeXt writer:
- Made
--toc
work even without--number-sections
. - Escape # in link URLs.
- Use buffering for footnotes containing code blocks.
- Changed ‘descr’ to ‘description’, fixed alignment.
- Made
-
LaTeX writer:
- Escape euro character.
- Don’t escape
~
inside\href{...}
. - Escape
#
in href URLs. - Improved detection of book classes. We now check the
documentclass
variable, and if that is not set, we look through the template itself. Also, we have added the KOMA classes scrreprt and scrbook. You can now make a book usingpandoc -V documentclass:book mybook.txt -o mybook.pdf
- LHS files now set the “listings” variable, so that the definition
of the
code
environment will be included in the template. - Links are colored blue by default (this can be changed by
modifying
hyperref
settings in the template). - Added
lang
variable to LaTeX template.
-
HTML writer:
- Fixed bug in HTML template with html5 and mathml.
- Don’t use self-closing img, br, hr tags for HTML5.
- Use
<section>
for footnotes if HTML5. - Update HTML templates to use Content-Style-Type meta tag.
- Use separate variables for meta-date, meta-author. This makes footnotes work in author and date fields.
- Use ‘vertical-align:middle’ in WebTeX math for better alignment.
-
S5/slidy writer: Make footnotes appear on separate slide at end.
-
MIME: Added ‘layout-cache’ to getMimeType. This ensures that the META-INF/manifest.xml for ODT files will have everything it needs, so that ODT files modified by LibreOffice can be used as
--reference-odt
. -
Text.Pandoc.Templates
: Return empty string for json template. -
Text.Pandoc.Biblio
:- Expand citations recursively inside nested inlines.
- Treat
\160
as space when parsing locator and suffix. This fixes a bug with “p. 33” when--smart
is used. Previously the whole “p. 33” would be included in the suffix, with no locator. - Put whole author-in-text citation in a Cite. Previously just the date and other info went in the Cite.
- Don’t add comma+space to prefix if it ends in punctuation.
-
Updated chicago-author-date.csl. The old version did not work properly for edited volumes with no author.
-
EPUB writer:
- Add date to EPUB titlepage and metadata.
- Added TOC identifier in EPUB page template.
- Don’t generate superfluous file
cover-image.jpg
.
Under the hood improvements
-
Modified
make_osx_package.sh
to use cabal-dev. Items are no longer installed as root. Man pages are zipped and given proper permissions. -
Modified windows installer generator to use cabal-dev.
-
Setup: Making man pages now works with cabal-dev (at least on OSX). In Setup.hs we now invoke ‘runghc’ in a way that points it to the correct package databases, instead of always falling back to the default user package db.
-
Updated to work with GHC 7.4.1.
-
Removed dependency on old-time.
-
Removed dependency on dlist.
-
New slidy directory for “self-contained.”
-
TeXMath writer: Use unicode thin spaces for thin spaces.
-
Markdown citations: don’t strip off initial space in locator.
API changes
-
Removed
Apostrophe
,EmDash
,EnDash
, andEllipses
from the nativeInline
type in pandoc-types. Now we useStr
elements with unicode. -
Improvements to
Text.Pandoc.Builder
:Inlines
andBlocks
are now newtypes (not synonyms for sequences).- Instances are defined for
IsString
,Show
,Read
,Monoid
, and a newListable
class, which allows these to be manipulated to some extent like lists. Monoid append includes automatic normalization. +++
has been replaced by<>
(mappend).
-
Use blaze-html instead of xhtml for HTML generation. This changes the type of
writeHtml
. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared
:- Added
warn
anderr
. - Removed
unescapeURI
, modifiedescapeURI
. (See under [behavior changes], above.)
- Added
-
Changes in URI escaping: Previously the readers escaped URIs by converting unicode characters to octets and then percent encoding. Now unicode characters are left as they are, and
escapeURI
only percent-encodes space characters. This gives more readable URIs, and works well with modern user agents. URIs are no longer unescaped at all on conversion tomarkdown

-
Adjusted Arbitrary instance to help avoid timeouts in tests.
-
Added
Tests.Writers.Markdown
to cabal file. -
Relaxed version bounds on pandoc-types, test-framework.
pandoc 1.8.2 (2011-07-30)
-
Added script to produce OS X package.
-
Made
templates
directory a git submodule. This should make it easier for people to revise their custom templates when the default templates change. -
Changed template naming scheme:
FORMAT.template
->default.FORMAT
. Note: If you have existing templates in~/.pandoc/templates
, you must rename them to conform to the new scheme! -
Default template improvements:
- HTML: Display author and date after title.
- HTML: Made table of contents more customizable. The container for the TOC is now in the template, so users can insert a header or other styling. (Thanks to Bruce D’Arcus for the suggestion.)
- HTML, Slidy, S5: Enclose scripts in CDATA tags.
- Slidy, S5: Added
s5-url
andslidy-url
variables, instead of hard-coding. If you want to put your slidy files in the slidy subdirectory, for example, you can dopandoc -t slidy -V slidy-url=slidy -s
. - LaTeX: Use
\and
to separate authors in LaTeX documents (reader & writer). Closes #279. - LaTeX: Set
\emergencystretch
to prevent overfull lines. - LaTeX: Use different
hyperref
options forxetex
, fixing problems with unicode bookmarks (thanks to CircleCode). - LaTeX: Removed
ucs
package, useutf8
rather thanutf8x
withinputenc
. This covers fewer characters but is more robust with other packages, anducs
is unmaintained. Users who need better unicode support should use xelatex or lualatex.
-
If a template specified with
--template
is not found, look for it indatadir
. Also, if no extension is provided, supply one based on the writer. So now you can put yourspecial.latex
template in~/.pandoc/templates
, and use it from any directory viapandoc -t latex --template special
. -
Added

. -
Fixed smart quotes bug, now handling
'...hi'
properly. -
RST reader:
- Partial support for labeled footnotes.
- Improved accuracy of
simpleReferenceName
parser.
-
HTML reader:
- Substitute correct unicode characters for characters in the 128..159 range, which are often found even in HTML that purports to be UTF-8.
-
LaTeX reader: Handle
\subtitle
command (a subtitle is added to the title, after a colon and linebreak). Closes #280. -
Leaner
reference.odt
. -
Added unexported module
Text.Pandoc.MIME
for use in the ODT writer. -
ODT writer: Construct
manifest.xml
based on archive contents. This fixes a bug in ODTs containing images. Recent versions of LibreOffice would reject these as corrupt, becausemanifest.xml
did not contain a reference to the image files. -
LaTeX writer:
- Make verbatim environments flush to avoid spurious blank lines. Closes #277.
- Use
\texttt
and escapes insntead of\verb!...!
, which is too fragile (doesn’t work in command arguments). - Use
\enquote{}
for quotes if the template includes thecsquotes
package. This provides better support for local quoting styles. (Thanks to Andreas Wagner for the idea.)
-
ConTeXt writer: Make
\starttyping
/\stoptyping
flush with margin, preventing spurious blank lines. -
Slidy writer:
- Use non-minimized version of
slidy.css
with--offline
option, so users can more easily edit it. - Also fixed a bug in the CSS that prevented proper centering of title (now reported and fixed upstream).
- Use non-minimized version of
-
S5 writer:
- Replaced
s5/default/slides.js.{comment,packed}
with new compresseds5/default/slides.min.js
. - Use

protocol to embed S5 CSS in<link>
tags, when--offline
is specified. Using inline CSS didn’t work with Chrome or Safari. This fixes offline S5 on those browsers.
- Replaced
-
HTML writer: Removed English title on footnote backlinks. This is incongrous in non-English documents.
-
Docbook writer:
- Use CALS tables. (Some older docbook software does not work well with XHTML tables.) Closes #77.
- Use
programlisting
tags (instead ofscreen
) for code blocks.
-
markdown2pdf
:- Calls latex with
-halt-on-error -interaction nonstopmode
instead of-interaction=batchmode
, which essentially just ignored errors, leading to bad results. Better to know when something is wrong. - Fixed issues with non-UTF-8 output of
pdflatex
. - Better error reporting.
- Calls latex with
-
--mathjax
now takes an optional URL argument. If it is not provided, pandoc links directly to the (secure) mathjax CDN, as now recommended (thanks to dsanson). -
Deprecated
--xetex
option inpandoc
. It is no longer needed, since the LaTeX writer now produces a file that can be processed bylatex
,pdflatex
,lualatex
, orxelatex
. -
Introduced
--luatex
option tomarkdown2pdf
. This causeslualatex
to be used to create the PDF.
pandoc 1.8.1.2 (2011-07-16)
-
Added
--epub-cover-image
option. -
Documented
--biblatex
and--natbib
options. -
Allow
--section-divs
with slidy output. Resolves Issue #296. -
Disallow notes within notes in reST and markdown. These previously caused infinite looping and stack overflows. For example:
[^1] [^1]: See [^1]
Note references are allowed in reST notes, so this isn’t a full implementation of reST. That can come later. For now we need to prevent the stack overflows. Partially resolves Issue #297.
-
EPUB writer: Allow non-plain math methods.
-
Forbid ()s in citation item keys. Resolves Issue #304: problems with
(@item1; @item2)
because the final paren was being parsed as part of the item key. -
Changed URI parser so it doesn’t include trailing punctuation. So, in RST,
http://google.com.
should be parsed as a link followed by a period. The parser is smart enough to recognize balanced parentheses, as often occur in wikipedia links:http://foo.bar/baz_(bam)
. -
Markdown+lhs reader: Require space after inverse bird tracks, so that HTML tags can be used freely at the left margin of a markdown+lhs document. Thanks to Conal Elliot for the suggestion.
-
Markdown reader: Fixed bug in footnote order (reported by CircleCode).
-
RST reader:
- Fixed bug in in field lists with multi-line items at the end of the list.
- Added parentheses to RST
specialChars
, so(http://google.com)
will be parsed as a link in parens. Resolves Issue #291. - Allow
|
followed by newline in RST line block.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Support
\dots
. - Gobble option & space after linebreak

- Implicit
Para
s instead ofPlains
in some contexts.
- Skip spaces after
-
OpenDocument writer: Use special
First paragraph
style for first paragraph after most non-paragraph blocks. This allows users to specify e.g. that only paragraphs after the first paragraph of a block are to be indented. Thanks to Andrea Rossato for the patch. Closes #20. -
LaTeX writer: use
deVerb
on table and picture captions. Otherwise LaTeX complains about\verb
inside command argument. Thanks to bbanier for reporting the bug. -
Markdown writer: Insert HTML comment btw list and indented code block. This prevents the code block from being interpreted as part of the list.
-
EPUB writer: Add a meta element specify the cover. Some EPUB e-readers, such as the Nook, require a meta element inside the OPF metadata block to ensure the cover image is properly displayed. (Kelsey Hightower)
-
HTML writer: Use embed tag for images with non-image extensions. (e.g. PDFs). Closes #264.
-
LaTeX writer: Improved tables.
- More space between lines, top-align cells.
- Use ctable package, which allows footnotes and provides additional options.
- Made cell alignments work in multiline tables.
- Closes #271, #272.
-
Un-URI-escape image filenames in LaTeX, ConTeXt, RTF, Texinfo. Also do this when copying image files into EPUBs and ODTs. Closes #263.
-
Changed to github issue tracker.
-
Added failing emph/strong markdown test case due to Perry Wagle.
-
Slidy improvements:
- Updated to use Slidy2.
- Fixed bug, unclosed div tag.
- Added
duration
variable in template. Setting this activates the timer. - Use ‘titlepage’ instead of ‘cover’ for title div.
pandoc 1.8.1.1 (2011-02-13)
markdown2pdf
: Removed some debugging lines accidentally included in the 1.8.1 release. With those lines, the temp directory is created in the working directory, and it is not deleted. This fix restores the original behavior.
pandoc 1.8.1 (2011-02-13)
-
Added
--ascii
option. Currently supported only in HTML writer, which it causes to use numerical entities instead of UTF-8. -
EPUB writer:
--toc
now works to provide a table of contents at the beginning of each chapter. -
LaTeX writer: Change figure defaults to
htbp
. This prevents “too many unprocessed floats.” Resolves Issue #285. -
Text.Pandoc.UTF8
: Encode filenames even when using recent base. -
markdown2pdf
: Fixed filename encoding issues. With help from Paulo Tanimoto. Resolves Issue #286. -
HTML writer: Put line breaks in section divs.
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared
: MakewriterSectionDivs
default to False.
pandoc 1.8.0.3 (2011-02-05)
- Fixed Source-repository stanza in cabal file.
pandoc 1.8.0.2 (2011-02-05)
-
HTML writer:
- Stringify alt text instead of converting to HTML.
- Break lines after block elements, not inside tags. HTML output now closely resembles that of tidy. Resolves Issue #134.
-
Markdown reader: Fixed bug in footnote block parser (pointed out by Jesse Rosenthal). The problem arose when the blank line at the end of a footnote block contained indenting spaces.
-
Shared: Improved ‘normalize’ function so it normalizes Spaces too. In normal form, Space elements only occur to separate two non-Space elements. So, we never have [Space], or [, …, Space].
-
Tests:
- Improved Arbitrary instance.
- Added timeout for test instances.
-
README:
- Added section on four-space rule for lists. Resolves Issue #283.
- Clarified optional arguments on math options.
-
markdown2pdf: Fixed bug with output file extensions. Previously
markdown2pdf test.txt -o test.en.pdf
would producetest.pdf
, nottest.en.pdf
. Thanks to Paolo Tanimoto for the fix.
pandoc 1.8.0.1 (2011-01-31)
-
Revised Interact.hs so that it works with the CPP macros in the UTF8 module.
-
Revised Setup.hs so that we don’t call MakeManPage.hs unless the man pages are out of date.
pandoc 1.8 (2011-01-30)
New features
-
Support for citations using Andrea Rossato’s
citeproc-hs
0.3. You can now write, for example,Water is wet [see @doe99, pp. 33-35; also @smith04, ch. 1].
and, when you process your document using
pandoc
, specifying a citation style using--csl
and a bibliography using--bibliography
, the citation will be replaced by an appropriately formatted citation, and a list of works cited will be added to the end of the document.This means that you can switch effortlessly between different citation and bibliography styles, including footnote, numerical, and author-date formats. The bibliography can be in any of the following formats: MODS, BibTeX, BibLaTeX, RIS, EndNote, EndNote XML, ISI, MEDLINE, Copac, or JSON. See the README for further details.
Citations are supported in the markdown reader, using a special syntax, and in the LaTeX reader, using natbib or biblatex syntax. (Thanks to Nathan Gass for the natbib and biblatex support.)
-
New
textile
reader and writer. Thanks to Paul Rivier for contributing thetextile
reader, an almost complete implementation of the textile syntax used by the ruby RedCloth library. Resolves Issue #51. -
New
org
writer, for Emacs Org-mode, contributed by Puneeth Chaganti. -
New
json
reader and writer, for reading and writing a JSON representation of the native Pandoc AST. These are much faster than thenative
reader and writer, and should be used for serializing Pandoc to text. To convert between the JSON representation and native Pandoc, useencodeJSON
anddecodeJSON
fromText.JSON.Generic
. -
A new
jsonFilter
function inText.Pandoc
makes it easy to write scripts that transform a JSON-encoded pandoc document. For example:-- removelinks.hs - removes links from document import Text.Pandoc main = interact $ jsonFilter $ bottomUp removeLink where removeLink (Link xs _) = Emph xs removeLink x = x
To use this to remove links while translating markdown to LaTeX:
pandoc -t json | runghc removelinks.hs | pandoc -f json -t latex
-
Attributes are now allowed in inline
Code
elements, for example:In this code, `ulist ! [theclass "special"] << elts`{.haskell} is...
The attribute syntax is the same as for delimited code blocks.
Code
inline has an extra argument place for attributes, just likeCodeBlock
. Inline code will be highlighted in HTML output, if pandoc is compiled with highlighting support. Resolves Issue #119. -
New
RawBlock
andRawInline
elements (replacingRawHtml
,HtmlInline
, andTeX
) provide lots of flexibility in writing scripts to transform Pandoc documents. Scripts can now change how each element is rendered in each output format. -
You can now define LaTeX macros in markdown documents, and pandoc will apply them to TeX math. For example,
\newcommand{\plus}[2]{#1 + #2} $\plus{3}{4}$
yields
3+4
. Since the macros are applied in the reader, they will work in every output format, not just LaTeX. -
LaTeX macros can also be used in LaTeX documents (both in math and in non-math contexts).
-
A new
--mathjax
option has been added for displaying math in HTML using MathJax. Resolves issue #259. -
Footnotes are now supported in the RST reader. (Note, however, that unlike docutils, pandoc ignores the numeral or symbol used in the note; footnotes are put in an auto-numbered ordered list.) Resolves Issue #258.
-
A new
--normalize
option causes pandoc to normalize the AST before writing the document. This means that, for example,*hi**there*
will be rendered as<em>hithere</em>
instead of<em>hi</em><em>there</em>
. This is not the default, because there is a significant performance penalty. -
A new
--chapters
command-line option causes headers in DocBook, LaTeX, and ConTeXt to start with “chapter” (level one). Resolves Issue #265. -
In DocBook output,
<chapter>
is now used for top-level headers if the template contains<book>
. Resolves Issue #265. -
A new
--listings
option inpandoc
andmarkdown2pdf
causes the LaTeX writer to use the listings package for code blocks. (Thanks to Josef Svennigsson for the pandoc patch, and Etienne Millon for the markdown2pdf patch.) -
markdown2pdf
now supports--data-dir
. -
URLs in autolinks now have class “url” so they can be styled.
-
Improved prettyprinting in most formats. Lines will be wrapped more evenly and duplicate blank lines avoided.
-
New
--columns
command-line option sets the column width for line wrapping and relative width calculations for tables. -
Made
--smart
work in HTML, RST, and Textile readers, as well as markdown. -
Added
--html5
option for HTML5 output. -
Added support for listings package in LaTeX reader (Puneeth Chaganti).
-
Added support for simple tables in the LaTeX reader.
-
Added support for simple tables in the HTML reader.
-
Significant performance improvements in many readers and writers.
API and program changes
-
Moved
Text.Pandoc.Definition
from thepandoc
package to a new auxiliary package,pandoc-types
. This will make it possible for other programs to supply output in Pandoc format, without depending on the whole pandoc package. -
Added
Attr
field toCode
. -
Removed
RawHtml
,HtmlInline
, andTeX
elements; added genericRawBlock
andRawInline
. -
Moved generic functions to
Text.Pandoc.Generic
. DeprecatedprocessWith
, replacing it with two functions,bottomUp
andtopDown
. Removed previously deprecated functionsprocessPandoc
andqueryPandoc
. -
Added
Text.Pandoc.Builder
, for buildingPandoc
structures. -
Text.Pandoc
now exports association listsreaders
andwriters
. -
Added
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Native
, which exportsreadNative
.readNative
can now read full pandoc documents, block lists, blocks, inline lists, or inlines. It will interpretStr "hi"
as if it werePandoc (Meta [] [] []) [Plain [Str "hi"]]
. This should make testing easier. -
Removed deprecated
-C/--custom-header
option. Use--template
instead. -
--biblio-file
has been replaced by--bibliography
.--biblio-format
has been removed; pandoc now guesses the format from the file extension (see README). -
pandoc will treat an argument as a URI only if it has an
http(s)
scheme. Previously pandoc would treat some Windows pathnames beginning withC:/
as URIs. -
The
--sanitize-html
option and thestateSanitize
field inParserState
have been removed. Sanitization is better done in the resulting HTML usingxss-sanitize
, which is based on pandoc’s sanitization, but improved. -
pandoc now adds a newline to the end of its output in fragment mode (= not
--standalone
). -
Added support for
lang
inhtml
tag in the HTML template, so you can dopandoc -s -V lang=es
, for example. -
highlightHtml
inText.Pandoc.Highlighting
now takes a boolean argument that selects between “inline” and “block” HTML. -
Text.Pandoc.Writers.RTF
now exportsrtfEmbedImage
. Images are embedded in RTF output when possible (png, jpeg). Resolves Issue #275. -
Added
Text.Pandoc.Pretty
. This is better suited for pandoc than thepretty
package. Changed all writers that usedText.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ
to useText.Pandoc.Pretty
instead. -
Rewrote
writeNative
using the new prettyprinting module. It is now much faster. The output has been made more consistent and compressed.writeNative
is also now sensitive to writerStandalone, and will simply
print a block list if writerStandalone` is False. -
Removed
Text.Pandoc.Blocks
.Text.Pandoc.Pretty
allows you to define blocks and concatenate them, so a separate module is no longer needed. -
Text.Pandoc.Shared
:- Added
writerColumns
,writerChapters
, andwriterHtml5
toWriterOptions
. - Added
normalize
. - Removed unneeded prettyprinting functions:
wrapped
,wrapIfNeeded
,wrappedTeX
,wrapTeXIfNeeded
,hang'
,BlockWrapper
,wrappedBlocksToDoc
. - Made
splitBy
take a test instead of an element. - Added
findDataFile
, refactoredreadDataFile
. - Added
stringify
. RewroteinlineListToIdentifier
usingstringify
. - Fixed
inlineListToIdentifier
to treat\160
as ’ ’.
- Added
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.HTML
:- Removed
rawHtmlBlock
,anyHtmlBlockTag
,anyHtmlInlineTag
,anyHtmlTag
,anyHtmlEndTag
,htmlEndTag
,extractTagType
,htmlBlockElement
,htmlComment
- Added
htmlTag
,htmlInBalanced
,isInlineTag
,isBlockTag
,isTextTag
- Removed
-
Moved
smartPunctuation
fromText.Pandoc.Readers.Markdown
toText.Pandoc.Readers.Parsing
, and parameterized it with an inline parser. -
Ellipses are no longer allowed to contain spaces. Previously we allowed ‘. . .’, ’ . . . ‘, etc. This caused too many complications, and removed author’s flexibility in combining ellipses with spaces and periods.
-
Allow linebreaks in URLs (treat as spaces). Also, a string of consecutive spaces or tabs is now parsed as a single space. If you have multiple spaces in your URL, use
%20%20
. -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing
:- Removed
refsMatch
. - Hid
Key
constructor. - Removed custom
Ord
andEq
instances forKey
. - Added
toKey
andfromKey
to convert betweenKey
and[Inline]
. - Generalized type on
readWith
.
- Removed
-
Small change in calculation of relative widths of table columns. If the size of the header > the specified column width, use the header size as 100% for purposes of calculating relative widths of columns.
-
Markdown writer now uses some pandoc-specific features when
--strict
is not specified:\
newline is used for a hard linebreak instead of two spaces then a newline. And delimited code blocks are used when there are attributes. -
HTML writer: improved gladTeX output by setting ENV appropriately for display or inline math (Jonathan Daugherty).
-
LaTeX writer: Use
\paragraph
,\subparagraph
for level 4,5 headers. -
LaTeX reader:
\label{foo}
and\ref{foo}
now become{foo}
instead of(foo)
.\index{}
commands are skipped.
-
Added
fontsize
variable to default LaTeX template. This makes it easy to set the font size usingmarkdown2pdf
:markdown2pdf -V fontsize=12pt input.txt
. -
Fixed problem with strikeout in LaTeX headers when using hyperref, by adding a command to the default LaTeX template that disables
\sout
inside pdf strings. Thanks to Joost Kremers for the fix. -
The
COLUMNS
environment variable no longer has any effect.
Under-the-hood improvements
-
Pandoc now compiles with GHC 7. (This alone leads to a significant performance improvement, 15-20%.)
-
Completely rewrote HTML reader using tagsoup as a lexer. The new reader is faster and more accurate. Unlike the old reader, it does not get bogged down on some input (Issues #277, 255). And it handles namespaces in tags (Issue #274).
-
Replaced
escapeStringAsXML
with a faster version. -
Rewrote
spaceChar
and some other parsers in Text.Pandoc.Parsing for a significant performance boost. -
Improved performance of all readers by rewriting parsers.
-
Simplified Text.Pandoc.CharacterReferences by using entity lookup functions from TagSoup.
-
Text.Pandoc.UTF8
now uses the unicode-aware IO functions fromSystem.IO
if base >= 4.2. This gives support for windows line endings on windows. -
Remove duplications in documentation by generating the pandoc man page from README, using
MakeManPage.hs
. -
README now includes a full description of markdown syntax, including non-pandoc-specific parts. A new
pandoc_markdown
man page is extracted from this, so you can look up markdown syntax by doingman pandoc_markdown
. -
Completely revised test framework (with help from Nathan Gass). The new test framework is built when the
tests
Cabal flag is set. It includes the old integration tests, but also some new unit and quickcheck tests. Test output has been much improved, and you can now specify a glob pattern aftercabal test
to indicate which tests should be run; for examplecabal test citations
will run all the citation tests. -
Added a shell script,
stripansi.sh
, for filtering ANSI control sequences from test output:cabal test | ./stripansi.sh > test.log
. -
Added
Interact.hs
to make it easier to use ghci while developing.Interact.hs
loadsghci
from thesrc
directory, specifying all the options needed to load pandoc modules (including specific package dependencies, which it gets by parsing dist/setup-config). -
Added
Benchmark.hs
, testing all readers + writers using criterion. -
Added
stats.sh
, to make it easier to collect and archive benchmark and lines-of-code stats. -
Added upper bounds to all cabal dependencies.
-
Include man pages in extra-source-files. This allows users to install pandoc from the tarball without needing to build the man pages.
Bug fixes
-
Filenames are encoded as UTF8. Resolves Issue #252.
-
Handle curly quotes better in
--smart
mode. Previously, curly quotes were just parsed literally, leading to problems in some output formats. Now they are parsed asQuoted
inlines, if--smart
is specified. Resolves Issue #270. -
Text.Pandoc.Parsing: Fixed bug in grid table parser. Spaces at end of line were not being stripped properly, resulting in unintended LineBreaks.
-
Markdown reader:
- Allow HTML comments as inline elements in markdown.
So,
aaa <!-- comment --> bbb
can be a single paragraph. - Fixed superscripts with links:
^[link](/foo)^
gets recognized as a superscripted link, not an inline note followed by garbage. - Fixed regression, making markdown reference keys case-insensitive again. Resolves Issue #272.
- Properly handle abbreviations (like
Mr.
) at the end of a line. - Better handling of intraword underscores, avoiding exponential slowdowns in some cases. Resolves Issue #182.
- Fixed bug in alignments in tables with blank rows in the header.
- Allow HTML comments as inline elements in markdown.
So,
-
RST reader:
- Field lists now allow spaces in field names, and block content in field values. (Thanks to Lachlan Musicman for pointing out the bug.)
- Definition list items are now always
Para
instead ofPlain
, matching behavior ofrst2xml.py
. - In image blocks, the description is parsed properly and used for the alt attribute, not also the title.
- Skip blank lines at beginning of file. Resolves Debian #611328.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Improved parsing of preamble.
Previously you’d get unexpected behavior on a document that
contained
\begin{document}
in, say, a verbatim block. - Allow spaces between
\begin
or\end
and{
. - Support
\L
and\l
. - Skip comments inside paragraphs.
- Improved parsing of preamble.
Previously you’d get unexpected behavior on a document that
contained
-
LaTeX writer:
- Escape strings in
\href{..}
. - In nonsimple tables, put cells in
\parbox
.
- Escape strings in
-
OpenDocument writer: don’t print raw TeX.
-
Markdown writer:
- Fixed bug in
Image
. URI was getting unescaped twice! - Avoid printing extra blank lines at the end if there are no notes or references.
- Fixed bug in
-
LaTeX and ConTeXt: Escape
[
and]
as{[}
and{]}
. This avoids unwanted interpretation as an optional argument. -
ConTeXt writer: Fixed problem with inline code. Previously
}
would be rendered\type{}}
. Now we check the string for ‘}’ and ‘{’. If it contains neither, use\type{}
; otherwise use\mono{}
with an escaped version of the string. -
:
now allowed in HTML tags. Resolves Issue #274.
pandoc 1.6 (2010-07-24)
-
New EPUB and HTML Slidy writers. (Issue #122)
- EPUB is a standard ebook format, used in Apple’s iBooks for the iPad and iPhone, Barnes and Noble’s nook reader, the Sony reader, and many other devices, and by online ebook readers like bookworm. (Amazon’s Kindle uses a different format, MobiPocket, but EPUB books can easily be converted to Kindle format.) Now you can write your book in markdown and produce an ebook with a single command! I’ve put up a short tutorial here.
- Slidy, like S5, is a system for producing HTML+javascript slide shows.
-
All input is assumed to be UTF-8, no matter what the locale and ghc version, and all output is UTF-8. This reverts to pre-1.5 behavior. Also, a BOM, if present, is stripped from the input.
-
Markdown now supports grid tables, whose cells can contain arbitrary block elements. (Issue #43)
-
Sequentially numbered example lists in markdown with
@
marker. -
Markdown table captions can begin with a bare colon and no longer need to include the English word “table.” Also, a caption can now occur either before or after the table. (Issue #227)
-
New command-line options:
--epub-stylesheet
allows you to specify a CSS file that will be used to style your ebook.--epub-metadata
allows you to specify metadata for the ebook.--offline
causes the generated HTML slideshow to include all needed scripts and stylesheets.--webtex
causes TeX math to be converted to images using the Google Charts API (unless a different URL is specified).--section-divs
causes div tags to be added around each section in an HTML document. (Issue #230, 239)
-
Default behavior of S5 writer in standalone mode has changed: previously, it would include all needed scripts and stylesheets in the generated HTML; now, only links are included unless the
--offline
option is used. -
Default behavior of HTML writer has changed. Between 1.2 and 1.5, pandoc would enclose sections in div tags with identifiers on the div tags, so that the sections can be manipulated in javascript. This caused undesirable interactions with raw HTML div tags. So, starting with 1.6, the default is to put the identifiers directly on the header tags, and not to include the divs. The
--section-divs
option selects the 1.2-1.5 behavior. -
API changes:
HTMLMathMethod
: AddedWebTeX
, removedMimeTeX

function. Moveds5Includes
to a new module,Text.Pandoc.S5
. To write S5, you now usewriteHtml
withwriterSlideVariant
set toS5Slides
orSlidySlides
.
-
Template changes. If you use custom templates, please update them, particularly if you use syntax highlighting with pandoc. The old HTML templates hardcoded highlighting CSS that will no longer work with the most recent version of highlighting-kate.
- HTML template: avoid empty meta tag if no date.
- HTML template: Use default highlighting CSS from highlighting-kate instead of hard-coding the CSS into the template.
- HTML template: insert-before text goes before the title, and
immediately after the
<body>
tag, as documented. (Issue #241) - Added slidy and s5 templates.
- Added amssymb to preamble of latex template. (github Issue 1)
-
Removed excess newlines at the end of output. Note: because output will not contain an extra newline, you may need to make adjustments if you are inserting pandoc’s output into a template.
-
In S5 and slidy, horizontal rules now cause a new slide, so you are no longer limited to one slide per section.
-
Improved handling of code in man writer. Inline code is now monospace, not bold, and code blocks now use .nf (no fill) and .IP (indented para).
-
HTML reader parses
<tt>
as Code. (Issue #247) -
html+lhs output now contains bird tracks, even when compiled without highlighting support. (Issue #242)
-
Colons are now no longer allowed in autogenerated XML/HTML identifiers, since they have a special meaning in XML.
-
Code improvements in ODT writer. Remote images are now replaced with their alt text rather than a broken link.
-
LaTeX reader improvements:
- Made latex
\section
,\chapter
parsers more forgiving of whitespace. - Parse
\chapter{}
in latex. - Changed
rawLaTeXInline
to accept\section
,\begin
, etc. - Use new
rawLaTeXInline'
in LaTeX reader, and exportrawLaTeXInline
for use in markdown reader. - Fixes bug wherein
\section{foo}
was not recognized as raw TeX in markdown document.
- Made latex
-
LaTeX writer: images are automatically shrunk if they would extend beyond the page margin.
-
Plain, markdown, RST writers now use unicode for smart punctuation.
-
Man writer converts math to unicode when possible, as in other writers.
-
markdown2pdf
can now recognize citeproc options. -
Command-line arguments are converted to UTF-8. (Issue #234)
-
Text.Pandoc.TeXMath
has been rewritten to use texmath’s parser. This allows it to handle a wider range of formulas. Also, if a formula cannot be converted, it is left in raw TeX; formulas are no longer partially converted. -
Unicode curly quotes are left alone when parsing smart quotes. (Issue #143)
-
Cabal file changes:
- Removed parsec < 3 restriction.
- Added ‘threaded’ flag for architectures where GHC lacks a threaded runtime.
- Use ‘threaded’ only for markdown2pdf; it is not needed for pandoc.
- Require highlighting-kate 0.2.7.
-
Use explicit imports from
Data.Generics
. Otherwise we have a conflict with the ‘empty’ symbol, introduced in syb >= 0.2. (Issue #237) -
New data files: slidy/slidy.min.js, slidy/slidy.min.css, epub.css.
pandoc 1.5.1.1 (2010-03-29)
- Fixed header identifiers (uniqueIdent in Shared) so they work as advertized in README and are guaranteed to be valid XHTML names. Thanks to Xyne for reporting the bug.
pandoc 1.5.1 (2010-03-23)
- Fixed treatment of unicode characters in URIs.
- Revised Setup.hs so it works with debian’s build process.
- Fixed bug in OpenDocument writer that led to invalid XML for some input.
pandoc 1.5.0.1 (2010-03-21)
- HTML writer: Fixed error in math writer (with MathML option) that caused an infinite loop for unparsable MathML.
pandoc 1.5 (2010-03-20)
- Moved repository to github.
- New
--mathml
option, for display of TeX math as MathML. - New
--data-dir
option, allowing users to specify a data directory other than~/.pandoc
. Files placed in this directory will be used instead of system defaults. - New
--base-header-level
option. For example,--base-header-level=2
changes level 1 headers to level 2, level 2 to level 3, etc. - New ‘plain’ output format: plain text without pictures, hyperlinks, inline formatting, or anything else that looks even vaguely markupish.
- Titles and authors in title blocks can now span multiple lines, as long as the continuation lines begin with a space character.
- When given an absolute URI as a parameter, pandoc will fetch the content via HTTP.
- The HTML reader has been made much more forgiving. It no longer requires well-formed xhtml as input.
html2markdown
has been removed; it is no longer necessary, given the last two changes.pandoc
can be used by itself to convert web pages to markdown or other formats.hsmarkdown
has also been removed. Usepandoc --strict
instead. Or symlink pandoc’s executable tohsmarkdown
;pandoc
will then behave likehsmarkdown
used to.- An image in a paragraph by itself is now rendered as a figure in most writers, with the alt text as the caption.
- Incomplete support for reST tables (simple and grid). Thanks to Eric Kow. Colspans and rowspans not yet supported.
- In mediawiki, links with relative URLs are now formatted as wikilinks.
Also, headers have been promoted:
= head =
is now level 1 instead of level 2. - The markdown reader now handles “inverse bird tracks” when parsing literate haskell. These are used for haskell example code that is not part of the literate program.
- The
-B
and-A
options now imply-s
and no longer work in fragment mode. - Headerless tables are now printed properly in all writers. In addition, tbody, thead, and cols are used in HTML and Docbook tables.
- Improved build system; removed obsolete Makefile.
- In LaTeX writer,
\chapter
is now used instead of\section
. when the documentclass is book, report, or memoir. - Many small bug fixes. See [changelog] for details.
pandoc 1.4 (2010-01-02)
- New template system replaces old headers, giving users much
more control over pandoc’s output in
--standalone
mode. Added--template
and--variable
options. The--print-default-header
option is now--print-default-template
. See README under “Templates” for details. - The old
--custom-header
option should still work, but it has been deprecated. - New
--reference-odt
option allows users to customize styles in ODT output. - Users may now put custom templates, s5 styles, and a reference
ODT in the
~/.pandoc
directory, where they will override system defaults. See README for details. - Unicode is now used whenever possible in HTML and XML output. Entities
are used only where necessary (
>
,<
,"
,&
). - Authors and dates may now include formatting and notes.
- Added
--xetex
option forpandoc
andmarkdown2pdf
. - Windows installer now includes highlighting support and
markdown2pdf
andhsmarkdown
wrappers. - Pandoc no longer requires Template Haskell, which should make it more portable.
- Pandoc can now be built on GHC 6.12, as well as earlier versions.
- See README for other small improvements and bug fixes.
pandoc 1.3 (2009-12-10)
- Added
--id-prefix
option to help prevent duplicate identifiers when you’re generating HTML fragments. - Added
--indented-code-classes
option, which specifies default highlighting syntax for indented code blocks. --number-sections
now affects HTML output.- Improved syntax for markdown definition lists.
- Better looking simple tables.
- Markdown tables without headers are now possible.
- New hard line break syntax: backslash followed by newline.
- Improved performance of markdown reader by ~10% by eliminating the need for a separate parsing pass for notes.
- Improved syntax highlighting for literate Haskell.
- Support for “..code-block” directive in RST reader.
- Windows binary now includes highlighting support.
- Many bug fixes and small improvements. See [changelog] for details.
pandoc 1.2.1 (2009-07-18)
- Improved the efficiency of the markdown reader’s
abbreviation parsing (should give a big performance
boost with
--smart
). - HTML writer now wraps sections in divs with unique identifiers, for easier manipulation.
- Improved LaTeX reader’s coverage of math modes.
- Added a portable Haskell version of markdown2pdf (thanks to Paolo Tanimoto).
- Made
--strict
compatible with--standalone
and--toc.
- Many other small improvements and bug fixes. See [changelog] for details.
pandoc 1.2 (2009-03-01)
- Added support for literate Haskell. lhs support is triggered by ‘+lhs’ suffixes in formats. For example, ‘latex+lhs’ is literate Haskell LaTeX. ‘.lhs’ files are treated by default as literate markdown.
- Added
--email-obfuscation
option. - Brought citeproc support up to date for citeproc-hs-0.2.
- Many bugs fixed. See [changelog] for details.
pandoc 1.1 (2008-11-06)
- New
--jsmath
option supporting use of pandoc with [jsMath]. - Classes on HTML table output for better CSS styling.
- Windows installer no longer requires admin privileges.
- Many bugs fixed. See [changelog] for details.
pandoc 1.0 (2008-09-13)
- New writers for MediaWiki, GNU Texinfo (thanks to Peter Wang), OpenDocument XML (thanks to Andrea Rossato), and ODT (OpenOffice document).
- New delimited code blocks, with optional syntax highlighting.
- Reorganized build system: pandoc can now be built using standard Cabal tools. It can be compiled on Windows without Cygwin. The tests can also be run without perl or unix tools.
- LaTeXMathML replaces ASCIIMathML for rendering math in HTML.
- Support for “displayed” math.
- Common abbreviations are now handled more intelligently, with a non-breaking space (and not a sentence-ending space) after the period.
- Code is -Wall clean.
- Many bug fixes and small improvements. See [changelog] for full details.
pandoc 0.46 (2008-01-08)
- Added a
--sanitize-html
option (and a corresponding parameter inParserState
for those using the pandoc libraries in programs). This option causes pandoc to sanitize HTML (in HTML or Markdown input) using a whitelist method. Possibly harmful HTML elements are replaced with HTML comments. This should be useful in the context of web applications, where pandoc may be used to convert user input into HTML. - Made -H, -A, and -B options cumulative: if they are specified multiple times, multiple files will be included.
- Many bug fixes and small improvements. See [changelog] for full details.
pandoc 0.45 (2007-12-09)
- Many bug fixes and structural improvements. See [changelog] for full details.
- Improved treatment of math. Math is now rendered using unicode
by default in HTML, RTF, and DocBook output. For more accurate
display of math in HTML,
--gladtex
,--mimetex
, and--asciimathml
options are provided. See the User’s Guide for details. - Removed support for box-style block quotes in markdown.
- More idiomatic ConTeXt output.
- Text wrapping in ConTeXt and LaTeX output.
- Pandoc now correctly handles all standard line endings (CR, LF, CRLF).
- New
--no-wrap
option that disables line wrapping and minimizes whitespace in HTML output. - Build process is now compatible with both GHC 6.8 and GHC 6.6. GHC and GHC_PKG environment variables may be used to specify which version of the compiler to use, when multiple versions are installed.
pandoc 0.44 (2007-09-03)
[ John MacFarlane ]
-
Fixed bug in HTML writer: when –toc was used, anchors were put around headers, which is invalid XHTML (block content within inline element). Now the anchors are put inside the header tags. Resolves Issue #23.
-
Added xmlns attribute to html element in html writer tests. This attribute is added by more recent versions of the xhtml library (>= 3000), and is required for valid XHTML.
[ Recai Oktaş ]
-
On configure, compile ‘Setup.hs’ to ‘setup’ and use ‘setup’ as the build command instead of ‘runhaskell’, which, on some platforms (such as s390, alpha, m68k), throws the following error:
runhaskell Setup.hs configure --prefix=/usr ghc-6.6.1: not built for interactive use
This causes a serious FTBFS bug. Closes: #440668.
pandoc 0.43 (2007-09-02)
[ John MacFarlane ]
-
The focus of this release is performance. The markdown parser is about five times faster than in 0.42, based on benchmarks with the TextMate manual.
-
Main.hs: Replaced CRFilter and tabFilter with single function tabFilter, which operates on the whole string rather than breaking it into lines, and handles dos-style line-endings as well as tabs.
-
Added separate LaTeX reader and native reader tests; removed round-trip tests.
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared:
- Removed tabsToSpaces and tabsInLine (they were used only in Main.hs.)
- General code cleanup (to elimante warnings when compiling with -Wall.)
- Added ‘wrapped’ function, which helps wrap text into paragraphs, using the prettyprinting library.
- Rewrote charsInBalanced and charsInBalanced’.
- Documented restriction: open and close must be distinct characters.
- Rearranged options for greater efficiency.
- Bug fix: Changed inner call to charsInBalanced inside charsInBalanced’ to charsInBalanced’.
- anyLine now requires that the line end with a newline (not eof). This is a harmless assumption, since we always add newlines to the end of a block before parsing with anyLine, and it yields a 10% speed boost.
- Removed unnecessary ‘try’ in anyLine.
- Removed unneeded ‘try’ from romanNumeral parser.
- Use notFollowedBy instead of notFollowedBy’ in charsInBalanced.
- Removed unneeded ‘try’ in parseFromString.
- Removed unneeded ‘try’ from stringAnyCase. (Now it behaves like ‘string’.)
- Changed definition of ‘enclosed’ in Text.Pandoc.Shared so that ‘try’ is not automatically applied to the ‘end’ parser. Added ‘try’ in calls to ‘enclosed’ where needed. Slight speed increase.
-
Writers:
- Replaced individual wrapping routines in RST, Man, and Markdown writers with ‘wrapped’ from Text.Pandoc.Shared.
- Rewrote LaTeX writer to use the prettyprinting library, so we get word wrapping, etc.
- Modified latex writer tests for new latex writer using prettyprinter.
- Fixed bug in LaTeX writer: autolinks would not cause
\usepackage{url}
to be put in the document header. Also, changes to state in enumerated list items would be overwritten. - In Markdown writer, escape paragraphs that begin with ordered list markers, so they don’t get interpreted as ordered lists.
-
Text.Pandoc.Reades.LaTeX:
- Fixed bug in LaTeX reader, which wrongly assumed that the roman numeral after “enum” in “setcounter” would consist entirely of “i”s. ‘enumiv’ is legitimate.
- LaTeX command and environment names can’t contain numbers.
- Rearranged order of parsers in inline for slight speed improvement.
- Added ‘`’ to special characters and ‘unescapedChar’.
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.RST:
- Removed unneeded try’s in RST reader; also minor code cleanup.
- Removed tabchar.
- Rearranged parsers in inline (doubled speed).
-
Text.Pandoc.Readers.Markdown:
- Skip notes parsing if running in strict mode. (This yields a nice speed improvement in strict mode.)
- Simplify autolink parsing code, using Network.URI to test for URIs. Added dependency on network library to debian/control and pandoc.cabal.
- More perspicuous definition of nonindentSpaces.
- Removed unneeded ‘try’ in ‘rawLine’.
- Combined linebreak and whitespace into a new whitespace parser, to avoid unnecessary reparsing of space characters.
- Removed unnecessary ‘try’ in ‘codeBlock’, ‘ellipses’, ‘noteMarker’, ‘multilineRow’, ‘dashedLine’, ‘rawHtmlBlocks’.
- Use lookAhead in parsers for setext headers and definition lists to see if the next line begins appropriately; if not, don’t waste any more time parsing.
- Don’t require blank lines after code block. (It’s sufficient to end code block with a nonindented line.)
- Changed definition of ‘emph’: italics with ‘_’ must not
be followed by an alphanumeric character. This is to help
prevent interpretation of e.g.
[LC_TYPE]: my_type
as[LC<em>TYPE]:my</em>type
. - Improved Markdown.pl-compatibility in referenceLink: the two parts of a reference-style link may be separated by one space, but not more… [a] [link], [not] [a link].
- Fixed markdown inline code parsing so it better accords with
Markdown.pl: the marker for the end of the code section is a clump
of the same number of
's with which the section began, followed by a non-
character. So, for example,h ``` i
-><code>h ``` i</code>
. - Split ‘title’ into ‘linkTitle’ and ‘referenceTitle’, since the rules are slightly different.
- Rewrote ‘para’ for greater efficiency.
- Rewrote link parsers for greater efficiency.
- Removed redundant ‘referenceLink’ in definition of inline (it’s already in ‘link’).
- Refactored escapeChar so it doesn’t need ‘try’.
- Refactored hrule for performance in Markdown reader.
- More intelligent rearranging of ‘inline’ so that most frequently used parsers are tried first.
- Removed tabchar parser, as whitespace handles tabs anyway.
-
Text.Pandoc.CharacterReferences:
- Refactored.
- Removed unnecessary ‘try’s for a speed improvement.
- Removed unnecessary ‘&’ and ‘;’ from the entity table.
-
Build process:
- Makefile: Get VERSION from cabal file, not Main.hs.
- Modified MacPorts Portfile:
- Depend on haddock
- Build and install libraries and library documentation in addition to pandoc executable
- Added template item for md5 sum in Portfile.in.
- Incorporated changes from MacPorts repository (r28278).
- FreeBSD port: Don’t try to generate distinfo in Makefile. It can be made using ‘make makesum’ in FreeBSD.
- Make both freebsd and macports targets depend on tarball.
-
Website and documentation:
- Updated INSTALL instructions.
- Added pandocwiki demo to website.
- Removed local references to Portfile, since pandoc is now in the MacPorts repository.
pandoc 0.42 (2007-08-26)
[ John MacFarlane ]
-
Main.hs: Use utf8 conversion on the extra files loaded with the -H, -C, -B, and -A options. This fixes problems with unicode characters in these files.
-
Exposed Text.Pandoc.ASCIIMathML, since it is imported in Text.Pandoc.Readers.HTML and without it we get a linking error when using the library.
-
Markdown reader:
- Added new rule for enhanced markdown ordered lists: if the list marker is a capital letter followed by a period (including a single-letter capital roman numeral), then it must be followed by at least two spaces. The point of this is to avoid accidentally treating people’s initials as list markers: a paragraph might begin, “B. Russell was an English philosopher,” and this shouldn’t be treated as a list. Documented change in README.
- Blocks that start with “p. “ and a digit are no longer treated as ordered lists (it’s a page number).
- Added a needed ‘try’ to listItem.
- Removed check for a following setext header in endline. A full test is too inefficient (doubles benchmark time), and the substitute we had before is not 100% accurate.
- Don’t use Code elements for autolinks if –strict specified.
-
LaTeX writer: When a footnote ends with a Verbatim environment, the close } of the footnote cannot occur on the same line or an error occurs. Fixed this by adding a newline before the closing } of every footnote.
-
HTML writer:
- Removed incorrect “{}” around style information in HTML tables. Column widths now work properly in HTML.
- If –strict option is specified (and –toc is not), don’t include identifiers in headers, for better Markdown compatibility.
-
Build process:
- Separated $(web_dest) and website targets.
- In website, index.txt is now constructed from template index.txt.in.
- Added freebsd target to Markefile. This creates the freebsd Makefile from Makefile.in, and creates distinfo. Removed Makefile and distinfo from the repository.
- Added macport target to Makefile. Portfile is built from template Portfile.in.
- Removed OSX package targets. (Too many difficulties involving dependencies on dynamic libraries.)
- More complete INSTALL instructions for all architectures.
-
Website:
- Added a programming demo, pandocwiki.
[ Recai Oktaş ]
- Do not forget to close pandoc’s ITP. Closes: #391666
pandoc 0.41 (2007-08-19)
[ John MacFarlane ]
-
Fixed bugs in HTML reader:
- Skip material at end only if
</html>
is present (previously, only part of the document would be parsed if an error was found; now a proper error message is given). - Added new constant eitherBlockOrInline with elements that may count either as block-level or as inline. Modified isInline and isBlock to take this into account.
- Modified rawHtmlBlock to accept any tag (even an inline tag): this is innocuous, because rawHtmlBlock is tried only if a regular inline element can’t be parsed.
- Added a necessary ‘try’ in definition of ‘para’.
- Skip material at end only if
-
Fixed bug in markdown ordered list parsing. The problem was that anyOrderedListStart did not check for a space following the ordered list marker. So in ‘A.B. 2007’ the parser would be expecting a list item, but would not find one, causing an error. Fixed a similar bug in the RST reader. Resolves Issue #22.
-
Refactored RST and Markdown readers using parseFromString.
-
LaTeX reader will now skip anything after \end{document}.
-
Fixed blockquote output in markdown writer: previously, block quotes in indented contexts would be indented only in the first line.
-
Added note to INSTALL about variations in versions of the xhtml library that can lead to failed tests (thanks to Leif LeBaron).
pandoc 0.4 (2007-01-16)
[ John MacFarlane ]
-
Added two new output formats: groff man pages and ConTeXt. By default, output files with extensions “.ctx” and “.context” are assumed to be ConTeXt, and output files with single-digit extensions are assumed to be man pages.
-
Enhanced ordered lists (documented in README, under Lists):
- The OrderedList block element now stores information about list number style, list number delimiter, and starting number.
- The readers parse this information when possible.
- The writers use this information to style ordered lists.
- The enhancement can be disabled using the –strict option.
-
Added support for tables (with a new Table block element). Two kinds of tables are supported: a simple table with one-line rows, and a more complex variety with multiline rows. All output formats are supported, but only markdown tables are parsed at the moment. The syntax is documented in README.
-
Added support for definition lists (with a new DefinitionList block element). All output and input formats are supported. The syntax is documented in README.
-
Added support for superscripts and subscripts (with new Superscript and Subscript inline elements). All input and output formats. The syntax is documented in README.
-
Added support for strikeout (with a new Strikeout inline element). All input and output formats are supported. Thanks to Bradley Kuhn, who contributed a patch. The syntax is documented in README. Resolves Issue #18.
-
Added a –toc|–table-of-contents option. This causes an automatically generated table of contents (or an instruction that creates one) to be inserted at the beginning of the document. Not supported in S5, DocBook, or man page writers.
-
Modified the -m|–asciimathml option:
- If an optional URL argument is provided, a link is inserted instead of the contents of the ASCIIMathML.js script.
- Nothing is inserted unless the document actually contains LaTeX math.
-
Removed Blank block element as unnecessary.
-
Removed Key and Note blocks from the Pandoc data structure. All links are now stored as explicit links, and note contents are stored with the (inline) notes.
- All link Targets are now explicit (URL, title) pairs; there is no longer a ‘Ref’ target.
- Markdown and RST parsers now need to extract data from key and note blocks and insert them into the relevant inline elements. Other parsers have been simplified, since there is no longer any need to construct separate key and note blocks.
- Markdown, RST, and HTML writers need to construct lists of notes; Markdown and RST writers need to construct lists of link references (when the –reference-links option is specified); and the RST writer needs to construct a list of image substitution references. All writers have been rewritten to use the State monad when state is required.
- Several functions (generateReference, keyTable, replaceReferenceLinks, replaceRefLinksBlockList, and some auxiliaries used by them) have been removed from Text.Pandoc.Shared, since they are no longer needed. New functions and data structures (Reference, isNoteBlock, isKeyBlock, isLineClump) have been added. The functions inTags, selfClosingTag, inTagsSimple, and inTagsIndented have been moved to the DocBook writer, since that is now the only module that uses them. NoteTable is now exported in Text.Pandoc.Shared.
- Added stateKeys and stateNotes to ParserState; removed stateKeyBlocks, stateKeysUsed, stateNoteBlocks, stateNoteIdentifiers, stateInlineLinks.
- Added writerNotes and writerReferenceLinks to WriterOptions.
-
Added Text.Pandoc module that exports basic readers, writers, definitions, and utility functions. This should export everything needed for most uses of Pandoc libraries. The haddock documentation includes a short example program.
-
Text.Pandoc.ASCIIMathML is no longer an exported module.
-
Added Text.Pandoc.Blocks module to help in printing markdown and RST tables. This module provides functions for working with fixed-width blocks of text–e.g., placing them side by side, as in a table row.
-
Refactored to avoid reliance on Haskell’s Text.Regex library, which (a) is slow, and (b) does not properly handle unicode. This fixed some strange bugs, e.g. in parsing S-cedilla, and improved performance.
- Replaced ‘gsub’ with a general list function ‘substitute’ that does not rely on Text.Regex.
- Rewrote extractTagType in HTML reader so that it doesn’t use regexs.
- In Markdown reader, replaced email regex test with a custom email autolink parser (autoLinkEmail). Also replaced selfClosingTag regex with a custom function isSelfClosingTag.
- Modified Docbook writer so that it doesn’t rely on Text.Regex for detecting ‘mailto’ links.
- Removed escapePreservingRegex and reamped entity-handling functions in Text.Pandoc.Shared and Text.Pandoc.CharacterReferences to avoid reliance on Text.Regex (see below on character reference handling changes).
-
Renamed Text.Pandoc.Entities as Text.Pandoc.CharacterReferences.
-
Changed handling of XML entities. Entities are now parsed (and unicode characters returned) in the Markdown and HTML readers, rather than being handled in the writers. In HTML and Docbook writers, UTF-8 is now used instead of entities for characters above 128. This makes the HTML and DocBook output much more readable and more easily editable.
- Removed sgmlHexEntity, sgmlDecimalEntity, sgmlNamedEntity, and sgmlCharacterEntity regexes from Text.Pandoc.Shared.
- Renamed escapeSGMLChar to escapeCharForXML. Added escapeStringForXML. Moved both functions to Text.Pandoc.Writers.Docbook.
- Added characterReference parser to Text.Pandoc.CharacterReferences. This parses a string and return a unicode character.
- Rewrote decodeCharacterReferences to use the new parser instead of Text.Regex.
- Added new charRef parser for Markdown and HTML, which replaces the old ‘entity’ parser. Added ‘&’ as a special character in Markdown reader.
- Modified HTML and Markdown readers to call decodeEntities on all raw strings (e.g. authors, dates, link titles), to ensure that no unprocessed entities are included in the native representation of the document. (In the HTML reader, most of this work is done by a change in extractAttributeName.)
- In XML and Markdown output, escape unicode nonbreaking space as ‘ ’, since a unicode non-breaking space is impossible to distinguish visually from a regular space. (Resolves Issue #3.)
- Removed encodeEntitiesNumerical.
- Use Data.Map for entityTable and (new) reverseEntityTable, for a slight performance boost over the old association list.
- Removed unneeded decodeEntities from ‘str’ parser in HTML and Markdown readers.
-
Text.Pandoc.UTF8: Renamed encodeUTF8 to toUTF8, decodeUTF8 to fromUTF8, for clarity.
-
Replaced old haskell98 module names replaced by hierarchical module names, e.g. List by Data.List. Removed haskell98 from dependencies in pandoc.cabal, and added mtl (needed for state monad). Substituted xhtml for html.
-
Refactored and cleaned up character escaping in writers, using backslashEscapes and escapeStringUsing functions.
-
Instead of adding
\n\n
to the end of an input string in Main.hs, this is now done in the readers. This makes the libraries behave the way you’d expect from the pandoc program. Resolves Issue #10. -
URLs and email addresses in autolinks are now typeset as Code.
-
In Main.hs, changed putStr to putStrLn – mainly because MacOS X doesn’t display the whole output unless there’s a line ending.
-
Major code cleanup in all modules, for greater consistency, concision, and readability.
-
HTML reader:
- Fixed several bugs (extractTagType, attribute parsing).
- Remove Null blocks in lists of blocks when possible.
- Allow HTML comments as raw HTML inline.
-
Markdown reader:
- Ordered list items may no longer begin with uppercase letters, or letters greater than ‘n’. (This prevents first initials and page reference, e.g. ‘p. 400’, from being parsed as beginning lists.) Also, numbers beginning list items may no longer end with ‘)’, which is now allowed only after letters. Note: These changes may cause documents to be parsed differently. Users should take care in upgrading.
- Changed autoLink parsing to conform better to Markdown.pl’s
behavior.
<google.com>
is not treated as a link, but<http://google.com>
,<ftp://google.com>
, and<mailto:[email protected]>
are. - Cleaned up handling of embedded quotes in link titles. Now these are stored as a ‘”’ character, not as ‘"’.
- Use lookAhead parser for the ‘first pass’ (looking for reference keys), instead of parsing normally, then using setInput to reset input. This yields a slight performance boost.
- Fixed several bugs in smart quote recognition.
- Fixed bug in indentSpaces (which didn’t properly handle cases with mixed spaces and tabs).
- Consolidated ‘text’, ‘special’, and ‘inline’ into ‘inline’.
- Fixed bug which allowed URL and title to be separated by multiple blank lines in links and reference keys. They can be on separate lines but can’t have blank lines between them.
- Correctly handle bracketed text inside inline footnotes and links,using new function inlinesInBalanced. Resolves Issue #14.
- Fixed bug in footnotes: links in footnotes were not being processed. Solution: three-stage parse. First, get all the reference keys and add information to state. Next, get all the notes and add information to state. (Reference keys may be needed at this stage.) Finally, parse everything else.
- Replaced named constants like ‘emphStart’ with literals.
- Removed an extra occurrence of escapedChar in definition of inline.
-
RST reader:
- Allow the URI in a RST hyperlink target to start on the line after the reference key.
- Added ‘try’ in front of ‘string’, where needed, or used a different parser. This fixes a bug where ````` would not be correctly parsed as a verbatim `.
- Fixed slow performance in parsing inline literals in RST reader. The
problem was that
#
was seen by ‘inline’ as a potential link or image. Fix: inserted ‘notFollowedBy (char ‘`’)’ in link parsers. Resolves Issue #8. - Use lookAhead instead of getInput/setInput in RST reader. Removed unneeded getState call, since lookAhead automatically saves and restores the parser state.
- Allow hyperlink target URIs to be split over multiple lines, and to start on the line after the reference. Resolves Issue #7.
- Fixed handling of autolinks.
-
LaTeX reader:
- Replaced
choice [(try (string ...), ...]
idiom withoneOfStrings
, for clarity. - Added clauses for tilde and caret. Tilde is
\ensuremath{\sim}
, and caret is\^{}
, not\^
as before. - Added parsing for
\url
. - Parse
\texttt{}
as code, provided there’s nothing fancy inside.
- Replaced
-
HTML writer:
- Modified HTML writer to use the Text.XHtml library. This results in cleaner, faster code, and it makes it easier to use Pandoc in other projects, like wikis, which use Text.XHtml. Two functions are now provided, writeHtml and writeHtmlString: the former outputs an Html structure, the latter a rendered string. The S5 writer is also changed, in parallel ways (writeS5, writeS5String).
- The Html header is now written programmatically, so it has been removed from the ‘headers’ directory. The S5 header is still needed, but the doctype and some of the meta declarations have been removed, since they are written programmatically. This change introduces a new dependency on the xhtml package.
- Fixed two bugs in email obfuscation involving improper escaping
of ‘&’ in the
<noscript>
section and in--strict
mode. Resolves Issue #9. - Fixed another bug in email obfuscation: If the text to be obfuscated contains an entity, this needs to be decoded before obfuscation. Thanks to thsutton for the patch. Resolves Issue #15.
- Changed the way the backlink is displayed in HTML footnotes. Instead of appearing on a line by itself, it now generally appears on the last line of the note. (Exception: when the note does not end with a Plain or Para block.) This saves space and looks better.
- Added automatic unique identifiers to headers:
- The identifier is derived from the header via a scheme documented in README.
- WriterState now includes a list of header identifiers and a table of contents in addition to notes.
- The function uniqueIdentifiers creates a list of unique identifiers from a list of inline lists (e.g. headers).
- This list is part of WriterState and gets consumed by blockToHtml each time a header is encountered.
- Include CSS for .strikethrough class in header only if strikethrough text appears in the document.
- If the ‘strict’ option is specified, elements that do not appear in standard markdown (like definition lists) are passed through as raw HTML.
- Simplified treatment of autolinks, using pattern matching instead of conditionals.
-
Markdown writer:
- Links in markdown output are now printed as inline links by default, rather than reference links. A –reference-links option has been added that forces links to be printed as reference links. Resolves Issue #4.
- Use autolinks when possible. Instead of
[site.com](site.com)
, use<site.com>
.
-
LaTeX writer:
- Rewrote to use the State monad. The preamble now includes only those packages that are actually required, given the document’s content. Thus, for example, if strikeout is not used, ulem is not required. Modified LaTeXHeader accordingly.
- Modified LaTeX writer to insert
\,
between consecutive quotes. - Removed unused function tableRowColumnWidths.
- Simplified code for escaping special characters.
- Leave extra blank line after
\maketitle
. - Include empty
\author{}
when no author specified to avoid LaTeX errors. - Include fancyvrb code in header only if needed – that is, only if there is actually code in a footnote.
- Use
\url{}
for autolinks. - Include [mathletters] option in ucs package, so that basic unicode Greek letters will work correctly.
-
RST writer: Force blank line before lists, so that sublists will be handled correctly.
-
Docbook writer: Fixed a bug: email links with text, like foo, were being incorrectly treated as autolinks.
-
Removed Text.ParserCombinators.Pandoc and moved all its functions to Text.Pandoc.Shared.
-
Text.Pandoc.Shared:
- Added defaultWriterOptions.
- Added writerTableOfContents to WriterOptions.
- Added writerIgnoreNotes option to WriterOptions. This is needed for processing header blocks for a table of contents, since notes on headers should not appear in the TOC.
- Added prettyprinting for native Table format.
- Removed some unneeded imports.
- Moved escape and nullBlock parsers from Text.ParserCombinators.Pandoc, since the latter is for general-purpose parsers that don’t depend on Text.Pandoc.Definition.
- Moved isHeaderBlock from Text.Pandoc.Writers.HTML.
- Moved Element, headerAtLeast, and hierarchicalize from Docbook writer, because HTML writer now uses these in constructing a table of contents.
- Added clauses for new inline elements (Strikeout, Superscript, Subscript) to refsMatch.
- Removed backslashEscape; added new functions escapeStringUsing and backslashEscapes.
- Moved failIfStrict from markdown reader, since it is now used also by the HTML reader.
- Added a ‘try’ to the definition of indentSpaces.
- In definition of ‘reference’, added check to make sure it’s not a note reference.
- Added functions: camelCaseToHyphenated, toRomanNumeral, anyOrderedListMarker, orderedListmarker, orderedListMarkers, charsInBalanced’, withHorizDisplacement, romanNumeral
- Fixed a bug in the anyLine parser. Previously it would parse an empty string “”, but it should fail on an empty string, or we get an error when it is used inside “many” combinators.
- Removed followedBy’ parser, replacing it with the lookAhead parser from Parsec.
- Added some needed ‘try’s before multicharacter parsers, especially in ‘option’ contexts.
- Removed the ‘try’ from the ‘end’ parser in ‘enclosed’, so that ‘enclosed’ behaves like ‘option’, ‘manyTill’, etc.
- Added lineClump parser, which parses a raw line block up to and including any following blank lines.
- Renamed parseFromStr to parseFromString.
- Added a ‘try’ to the ‘end’ parser in ‘enclosed’. This makes errors in the use of ‘enclosed’ less likely. Removed some now-unnecessary ‘try’s in calling code.
- Removed unneeded ‘try’ in blanklines.
- Removed endsWith function and rewrote calling functions to use isSuffixOf instead.
- Added >>~ combinator.
- Fixed bug in normalizeSpaces: Space:Str “”:Space should compress to Space.
-
Refactored runtests.pl; added separate tests for tables.
-
Shell scripts:
- Added -asxhtml flag to tidy in html2markdown. This will perhaps help the parser, which expects closing tags.
- Modified markdown2pdf to run pdflatex a second time if –toc or –table-of-contents was specified; otherwise the table of contents won’t appear.
- Modified markdown2pdf to print a helpful message if the ‘ulem’ LaTeX package is required and not found.
-
Changes to build process:
- Dropped support for compilation with GHC 6.4. GHC 6.6 or higher is now required.
- Removed cabalize and Pandoc.cabal.in. The repository now contains pandoc.cabal itself.
- Pandoc.cabal has been changed to pandoc.cabal, because HackageDB likes the cabal file to have the same name as the tarball.
- Expanded and revised the package description in pandoc.cabal. Revised the package synopsis.
- The tarball built by ‘make tarball’ now contains files built from templates (including man pages and shell scripts), so pandoc can be built directly using Cabal tools, without preprocessing.
- Executable binaries are now stripped before installing.
- Man pages are now generated from markdown sources, using pandoc’s man page writer.
- Use HTML version of README (instead of RTF) in Mac OS X installer.
- Instead of testing for the existence of a pandoc symlink in build-exec, use ln -f.
-
Documentation:
- Updated README and man pages with information on new features.
- Updated INSTALL instructions with some useful clarifications and links.
- Updated web content.
-
Added FreeBSD port.
[ Recai Oktaş ]
-
debian/control:
- Changed pandoc’s Build-Depends to include libghc6-mtl-dev and libghc6-xhtml-dev. Removed libghc6-html-dev.
- Suggest texlive-latex-recommended | tetex-extra instead of tetex-bin. This brings in fancyvrb and unicode support.
pandoc 0.3 (2007-01-05)
[ John MacFarlane ]
-
Changes in pandoc options:
- Allow options to follow or precede arguments.
- Changed ‘–smartypants’ to ‘–smart’ and adjusted symbols accordingly.
- Added ‘–strict’ option.
- Added ‘-o/–output’ option.
- Added ‘–dump-args’ and ‘–ignore-args’ options (for use in wrappers).
- Modified ‘-v’ and ‘-h’ output to go to STDERR, not STDOUT, and return error conditions. This is helpful for writing wrappers.
- Added copyright message to ‘-v’ output, modeled after FSF messages.
- Reformatted usage message so that it doesn’t wrap illegibly.
- Removed extra blanks after ‘-h’ and ‘-D’ output.
-
Added docbook writer.
-
Added implicit setting of default input and output format based on input and output filename extensions. These defaults are overridden if explicit input and output formats are specified using ‘-t’, ‘-f’, ‘-r’, or ‘-w’ options. Documented in pandoc(1) man page and README.
-
Allow ordered list items to begin with (single) letters, as well as numbers. The list item marker may now be terminated either by ‘.’ or by ‘)’. This extension to standard markdown is documented in README.
-
Revised footnote syntax. (See README for full details.) The ‘[^1]’ format now standard in markdown extensions is supported, as are inline footnotes with this syntax:
^[My note.]
. The earlier footnote syntax^(1)
is no longer supported. -
Improved HTML representation of footnotes. All footnotes are now auto-numbered and appear in an ordered list at the end of the HTML document. Since the default appearance is now acceptable, the old footnote styles have been removed from the HTML header.
-
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a serious bug in the markdown, LaTeX, and RST readers. These readers ran ‘runParser’ on processed chunks of text to handle embedded block lists in lists and quotation blocks. But then any changes made to the parser state in these chunks was lost, as the state is local to the parser. So, for example, footnotes didn’t work in quotes or list items. The fix: instead of calling runParser on some raw text, use setInput to make it the input, then parse it, then use setInput to restore the input to what it was before. This is shorter and more elegant, and it fixes the problem.
- Fixed bug in notFollowedBy’ combinator (adding ‘try’ before ‘parser’). Adjusted code that uses this combinator accordingly.
- Fixed bug in RTF writer that caused improper indentation on footnotes occurring in indented blocks like lists.
- Fixed parsing of metadata in LaTeX reader. Now the title, author, and date are parsed correctly. Everything else in the preamble is skipped.
- Modified escapedChar in LaTeX reader to allow a
\
at the end of a line to count as escaped whitespace. - Modified LaTeX reader to produce inline links rather than reference links. Otherwise, links in footnotes aren’t handled properly.
- Fixed handling of titles in links in Markdown reader, so that embedded quotation marks are now handled properly.
- Fixed Markdown reader’s handling of embedded brackets in links.
- Fixed Markdown reader so that it only parses bracketed material as a reference link if there is actually a corresponding key.
- Revised inline code parsing in Markdown reader to conform to
markdown standard. Now any number of
s can begin inline code, which will end with the same number of
s. For example, to have two backticks as code, write``
. Modified Markdown writer accordingly. - Fixed bug in text-wrapping routine in Markdown and RST writers. Now LineBreaks no longer cause wrapping problems.
- Supported hexadecimal numerical entity references as well as decimal ones.
- Fixed bug in Markdown reader’s handling of underscores and other inline formatting markers inside reference labels: for example, in ‘[A_B]: /url/a_b’, the material between underscores was being parsed as emphasized inlines.
- Changed Markdown reader’s handling of backslash escapes so that only non-alphanumeric characters can be escaped. Strict mode follows Markdown.pl in only allowing a select group of punctuation characters to be escaped.
- Modified HTML reader to skip a newline following a
<br>
tag. Otherwise the newline will be treated as a space at the beginning of the next line.
-
Made handling of code blocks more consistent. Previously, some readers allowed trailing newlines, while others stripped them. Now, all readers strip trailing newlines in code blocks. Writers insert a newline at the end of code blocks as needed.
-
Modified readers to make spacing at the end of output more consistent.
-
Minor improvements to LaTeX reader:
\thanks
now treated like a footnote.- Simplified parsing of LaTeX command arguments and options. commandArgs now returns a list of arguments OR options (in whatever order they appear). The brackets are included, and a new stripFirstAndLast function is provided to strip them off when needed. This fixes a problem in dealing with \newcommand and \newenvironment.
-
Revised RTF writer:
- Default font is now Helvetica.
- An
\f0
is added to each\pard
, so that font resizing works correctly.
-
Moved handling of “smart typography” from the writers to the Markdown and LaTeX readers. This allows great simplification of the writers and more accurate smart quotes, dashes, and ellipses. DocBook can now use
<quote>
. The ‘–smart’ option now toggles an option in the parser state rather than a writer option. Several new kinds of inline elements have been added: Quoted, Ellipses, Apostrophe, EmDash, EnDash. -
Changes in HTML writer:
- Include title block in header even when title is null.
- Made javascript obfuscation of emails even more obfuscatory, by combining it with entity obfuscation.
-
Changed default ASCIIMathML text color to black.
-
Test suite:
- Added –strip-trailing-cr option to diff in runtests.pl, for compatibility with Windows.
- Added regression tests with footnotes in quote blocks and lists.
-
Makefile changes:
- osx-pkg target creates a Mac OS X package (directory). New osx directory contains files needed for construction of the package.
- osx-dmg target creates a compressed disk image containing the package.
- win-pkg target creates Windows binary package.
- tarball target creates distribution source tarball.
- website target generates pandoc’s website automatically, including demos. New ‘web’ directory contains files needed for construction of the website (which will be created as the ‘pandoc’ subdirectory of ‘web’).
- Makefile checks to see if we’re running Windows/Cygwin; if so, a ‘.exe’ extension is added to each executable in EXECS.
-
Removed all wrappers except markdown2pdf and html2markdown.
-
Added new wrapper hsmarkdown, to be used as a drop-in replacement for Markdown.pl. hsmarkdown calls pandoc with the ‘–strict’ option and disables other options.
-
Added code to html2markdown that tries to determine the character encoding of an HTML file, by parsing the “Content-type” meta tag.
- If the encoding can’t be determined, then if the content is local, the local encoding is used; if it comes from a URL, UTF-8 is used by default.
- If input is from STDIN, don’t try to determine character encoding.
- Encoding can be specified explicitly using ‘-e’ option.
-
Improved warning messages in wrappers:
- Print warning if iconv not available
- More user-friendly error messages in markdown2pdf, when pdflatex fails.
-
Code cleanup:
- Renamed ‘Text/Pandoc/HtmlEntities’ module to ‘Text/Pandoc/Entities’. Also changed function names so as not to be HTML-specific.
- Refactored SGML string escaping functions from HTML and Docbook writers into Text/Pandoc/Shared. (escapeSGML, stringToSGML)
- Removed ‘BlockQuoteContext’ from ParserContext, as it isn’t used anywhere.
- Removed splitBySpace and replaced it with a general, polymorphic splitBy function.
- Refactored LaTeX reader for clarity (added isArg function).
- Converted some CR’s to LF’s in src/ui/default/print.css.
- Added license text to top of source files.
- Added module data for haddock to source files.
- Reformatted code for consistency.
-
Rewrote documentation and man pages. Split README into INSTALL and README.
-
Split LICENSE into COPYING and COPYRIGHT.
-
Removed TODO, since we now maintain ToDo on the wiki.
-
Made COPYRIGHT in top level a symlink to debian/copyright, to avoid duplication.
[ Recai Oktaş ]
-
Revamped build process to conform to debian standards and created a proper debian package. Closes: #391666.
-
Modified build process to support GHC 6.6.
- The package can still be compiled using GHC 6.4.2, though because of dependencies the “make deb” target works only with GHC 6.6+.
- The script ‘cabalize’ is used to create an appropriate ‘Pandoc.cabal’ from ‘Pandoc.cabal.in’, depending on the GHC and Cabal versions.
-
Refactored template processing (fillTemplates.pl).
-
Modified wrapper scripts to make them more robust and portable. To avoid code duplication and ensure consistency, wrappers are generated via a templating system from templates in src/wrappers.
- Wrappers now accept multiple filenames, when appropriate.
- Spaces and tabs allowed in filenames.
- getopts shell builtin is used for portable option parsing.
- Improved html2markdown’s web grabber code, making it more robust, configurable and verbose. Added ‘-e’, ‘-g’ options.
