ANN: pandoc 1.0.0.1
John MacFarlane
Some highlights of this release:
+ New GNU Texinfo writer (contributed by Peter Wang)
+ New OpenDocument XML writer (contributed by Andrea Rossato)
+ New ODT (OpenOffice document) writer
+ New MediaWiki markup writer
+ New delimited code block syntax
+ Handy generic functions for querying and transforming documents without
lots of boilerplate (thanks to Andrea Rossato)
+ Cleaner build system: pandoc can now be built as a regular Cabal package
+ New dependencies: utf8-string and zip-archive
+ Code is -Wall clean
+ New Windows installer
+ Better support for math, including display math
+ Better HTML sanitizing for use in web applications
+ Many minor improvements and bug fixes (see changelog for details)
Pandoc can optionally be compiled with support for
+ syntax highlighting of delimited code blocks, using the
highlighting-kate library (over 50 languages are supported)
(specify -fhighlighting)
+ automatically generated citations and bibliography, using
Andrea Rossato's hs-citeproc library (specify -fciteproc)
I am particularly excited about Rossato's experimental citation support.
It's basically a BibTeX-like system that one can use in any of pandoc's
output formats. So you can have automatically generated citations in a
blog post, a wiki page, or even a man page! It's not yet complete, but
it's far enough along for those with an adventurous spirit to use.
I am very grateful to everyone who contributed bug reports and code,
and especially to Andrea Rossato and Peter Wang for their major
contributions.
