pandoc v2.7.1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-03-14 // about 5 years ago

    ➕ 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 class underline, as with other readers.

    - Ensure that \Footcite and \Footcites get put in a note.

    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).

    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 of raw_attribute can be forced by disabling raw_html and raw_tex.

    🚚 LaTeX writer: Add classes for frontmatter support (#5353, Andrew Dunning) and remove frontmatter from scrreprt.

    LaTeX template:

    - 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 the book-class variable, we use two variables, has-chapters and has-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 old pandoc_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.
