markdown
package.

Summary description: Converting and rendering markdown documents inside TeX
Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixes:
- Support Unicode in attributes. (reported by @andreiborisov in #605,
fixed by @witiko in #608)
Development:
- Add `\mmdcCommand` macro for configuring the command used to render Mermaid
diagrams. (suggested by @TheManchineel in #613, added by @witiko in #614)
For example, you can use different icon packs as follows:
```` tex
\documentclass{article}
\def\mmdcCommand{mmdc --iconPacks '@iconify-json/logos'}
\usepackage[import=witiko/diagrams@v2]{markdown}
\begin{document}
\begin{markdown}
``` mermaid
architecture-beta
group api(logos:aws-lambda)[API]
service db(logos:aws-aurora)[Database] in api
service disk1(logos:aws-glacier)[Storage] in api
service disk2(logos:aws-s3)[Storage] in api
service server(logos:aws-ec2)[Server] in api
db:L -- R:server
disk1:T -- B:server
disk2:T -- B:db
```
\end{markdown}
\end{document}
````
- Add a new Lua option `htmlOverLinks` that causes HTML tags to be recognized
as tags rather than hyperlinks when the Lua option `relativeReferences` has
been enabled. (discussed with @u-fischer in #597, added by @witiko and
@lostenderman in #607)
The option `htmlOverLinks` is an experimental option: Whenever the option
`experimental` is enabled and `htmlOverLinks` is unspecified, it will also be
enabled. Like other experimental options, `htmlOverLinks` will be enabled by
default in the next major release of the Markdown package and soft-deprecated.
- Add a new Lua option `blankBeforeHtmlBlock` that causes the parser to require
a blank line between a paragraph and the following CommonMark HTML block.
(discussed with @u-fischer in #598, added by @witiko and @lostenderman in
#608)
Enabling this option breaks CommonMark compliance but makes it easier to write
raw HTML such as inline HTML comments without producing HTML blocks by
accident.
- In theme `witiko/diagrams`, add parameter `format` for GraphViz diagrams.
(reported by @witiko in #611, fixed by @witiko in #612)
Here is an example LaTeX document using the new parameter:
```` tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[import=witiko/diagrams@v2, relativeReferences]{markdown}
\begin{document}
\begin{markdown}
``` dot {caption="An example directed graph" format=svg width=12cm #dot}
digraph tree {
margin = 0;
rankdir = "LR";
latex -> pmml;
latex -> cmml;
pmml -> slt;
cmml -> opt;
cmml -> prefix;
cmml -> infix;
pmml -> mterms [style=dashed];
cmml -> mterms;
latex [label = "LaTeX"];
pmml [label = "Presentation MathML"];
cmml [label = "Content MathML"];
slt [label = "Symbol Layout Tree"];
opt [label = "Operator Tree"];
prefix [label = "Prefix"];
infix [label = "Infix"];
mterms [label = "M-Terms"];
}
```
See the diagram in Figure <#dot>.
\end{markdown}
\end{document}

This can be used to circumvent missing support for PDF output in some
distributions of GraphViz, [notably Debian Forky][bugs-debian-1123051],
which the `texlive/texlive` Docker images are currently based on.
[bugs-debian-1123051]:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1123051
Defaults:
- In LaTeX, fix header attribute `{-}` for chapters and parts. (reported by
@MacLotsen in #602, fixed by @witiko in e588d205)
- In LaTeX, reset category codes before using `\maketitle`. (reported by
@MacLotsen in #603, fixed by @witiko in 00068c87)
Continuous integration:
- Bump `actions/checkout` from 5 to 6. (added by @dependabot in #604)
