Summary description: Converting and rendering markdown documents inside TeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Development:
- Remove dependency on `UnicodeData.txt`. (#400, #458 #486, #492, #499)
This change improves the speed of parsing markdown input by up to 25%
for a cold conversion run and makes life easier for users of TeX
distributions other than TeX Live, such as MikTeX and ConTeXt Standalone,
where `UnicodeData.txt` may not be as easily available. This change also
adds a new file `markdown-unicode-data.lua`, which must be properly
installed with the rest of the Markdown package.
- Add renderers `warning` and `error` that represent warnings and errors
produced by the markdown parser. (#452, #473, #496)
Fixes:
- Properly load LaTeX themes when `theme` or `import` is used in
`\usepackage[...]{markdown}`. (#471, #498)
- Prevent endless loop when setting deprecated `jekyllDataString` (renderer)
prototype. (#500)
- Correctly handle backslashes in `\markdownOptionOutputDir` on Windows.
(#492, #500, reported by @l0th3r)
- Fix hard line breaks in blockquotes.
(#494, #495, reported by @l0th3r, #496, contributed by @lostenderman)
Deprecation:
- Soft-deprecate the `hybrid` option. (#470, #504, 546faa87)
Soft-deprecated features will never be removed but using them prints a
warning and is discouraged. Instead of the `hybrid` option, consider one of
the following better alternatives for mixing TeX and markdown:
- With the `contentBlocks` option, authors can move large blocks of TeX
code to separate files and include them in their markdown documents as
external resources.
- With the `rawAttribute` option, authors can denote raw text spans and
code blocks that will be interpreted as TeX code.
- With options `texMathDollars`, `texMathSingleBackslash`, and
`texMathDoubleBackslash`, authors can freely type TeX commands between
dollar signs or backslash-escaped brackets.
