CTAN update: markdown - ctan-ann

30 Aug 2016


      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 `
`, `
`, 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.
