CTAN update: markdown

[CTAN Announcements]

Vít Novotný submitted an update to the

markdown

package.

Version number: 2.1.0
License type: lppl1.3

Summary description: A package for converting and rendering markdown documents inside TeX

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
New features:
- Added Pandoc-style citations and CommonMark fenced code blocks syntax extensions.
- Added the following renderers:
- `interblockSeparator`,
- `ulItemEnd`, `olItemEnd`, `dlItemEnd`,
- `nbsp`, `cite`, `textCite`, and
- `inputFencedCode`.
- Added the following Lua options:
- `citations`, `citationNbsps`,
- `fencedCode`, and `blankBeforeCodeFence`.

Changes in behavior:
- Replaced the `-` character in the default `\markdownOptionCacheDir` with `_`.
- The cache filenames are now different based on the version of the package.
- Code spans may now be empty.

Fixes:
- The conversion from Markdown should now produce consistent behavior no matter
if the input of the conversion function ends with `\n\n`, `\n`, or nothing.
- LaTeX interface `rendererPrototypes` keys for the `pipe`, `link`, and `image`
renderers no longer incorrectly set the `\markdownRenderers<Renderer>` macros
rather than the `\markdownRenderers<Renderer>Prototype` macros.
- Made the programming more defensive, so that the package works correctly
under TeXLive 2012.
- Fixed nested `keyval` handling inside `\markdownSetup` et al.

Development:
- Added the package to a continuous integration service.
