by CTAN Announcements 31 Aug '24

31 Aug '24

Vít Starý Novotný submitted an update to the markdown package. Version: 3.7.0-0-g98dece19 2024-08-30 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Converting and rendering markdown documents inside TeX Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Development: - Add renderer `jekyllDataProgrammaticString` for processing YAML string scalars that do not contain markdown markup and are not intended for typesetting. (istqborg/istqb_product_base#46, #440, #451, sponsored by @istqborg) - Add option `ensureJekyllData` for processing standalone YAML files. - Add renderers `warning` and `error` that represent warnings and errors produced by the markdown parser. (#452, #473) - Support user-defined LaTeX environments with LaTeX markup. (#20, #477, suggested by @cdupont) Fixes: - Produce more meaningful error message when KPathSea fails to locate a file. (#458, #472, 33e6eef2, reported by @Yggdrasil128) - Fix soft line breaks in citation prenotes and postnotes. (#483, #484, contributed by @lostenderman) Speed improvements: - Precompile snippets to improve the speed of setting them. (#467, #479, inspired by the TUG 2024 talk by @josephwright) - Use an optimized parser to determine Unicode punctuation. (#458, #474, #482, 4c1a7de2, co-authored by @Yggdrasil128, sponsored by @istqborg) This improves the speed of parsing markdown input by up to 500%. - Enable option `eagerCache` by default. (#468, #490, sponsored by @istqborg) This improves the speed by up to 25% for large documents with many markdown fragments that require multiple compilation runs. - Prevent loading the full Markdown package when converting cached markdown fragments. (#487, #491, 40f0803f, 6609d43d, sponsored by @istqborg) This significantly improves the speed for large documents with many markdown fragments that require multiple compilation runs in pdfTeX. Deprecation: - Deprecate `jekyllDataString` renderer and renderer prototype. Users should use `jekyllDataTypographicString` instead. (istqborg/istqb_product_base#46, #440, #451, sponsored by @istqborg) Continuous Integration: - Ensure that all code lines are shorter than 72 characters. (#478, e7160d60, 3ac95efe) Experiments: - Measure the speed of the Markdown package across recent versions.
