2023-11-02T.P.RoffChar: escape `-` as `\-`.John MacFarlane
The groff_man (7)` man page indicates that `-` characters will be treated as typographic hyphens and are not appropriate for cases where the output should be copy-pasteable as an ASCII hyphen-minus character. (E.g. in command line options.) However, until a recent update groff man did not actually do this; it treated `-` and `\-` the same. With the new update (1.23.0) the two are distinguished (see https://lwn.net/Articles/947941/ for background), so now it is important that pandoc escape `-`. This reverts ee60ba5252360d2efbf9cf30197236a21a15a924. That change was motivated by a problem with backslash-escaping `-` in a filename for .PSPIC. That's simply a separate issue; we shouldn't do the normal escapes in such a context. It has been addressed in the previous commit.
2023-10-05Man writer: Fix some spacing issues around links.John MacFarlane
See #9120. We need to use `\c` before a `.UR` or `.MT`, to avoid an extra space, and also after. To ensure that a space at the beginning of the following line doesn't get swallowed up, we escape it with `\`.
2023-10-05T.P.Shared.splitSentences: don't split after initials.John MacFarlane
This improves the man and ms writer output, preventing sentence breaks after initials.
2023-10-04Man writer: use UR, MT macros for URLs, emails.John MacFarlane
Closes #9120.
2023-08-25Man writer: avoid a .PP right after a section heading.John MacFarlane
This is at best a no-op (in groff man and mandoc) and at worst (in some formatters) may create extra whitespace. See #9020.
2023-08-25Man writer: improvements to code and code blocks.John MacFarlane
The aim here (see #9020) is to produce more standard and more portable man pages. To that end: - We revert the fanciness introduced in #7506, which employs a custom font name V and a macro that makes this act like boldface in a terminal and monospace in other formats. Unfortunately, this code uses a mechanism that is not portable (and does not work in mandoc). - Instead of using V for inline code, we simply use CR. Note that `\f[CR]` is emitted instead of plain `\f[C]`, because there is no C font in man. (This produces warnings in recent versions of groff.) - For code blocks, we now use the `.EX` and `.EE` macros, together with `.IP` for spacing and indentation. This gives more standard code that can be better interpreted e.g. by mandoc.
2023-08-24Man writer: don't emit `.hy`...John MacFarlane
regardless of setting of `hyphenate` variable. See #9020.
2023-01-25Ensure that automatically set variables ...John MacFarlane
`pandoc-version`, `outputfile`, `title-prefix`, `epub-cover-image`, `curdir`, `dzslides-core` can be overridden by `--variable` on the command line. Previously they would create lists in the template Context, which is not desirable.
2023-01-13Support complex figures. [API change]Albert Krewinkel
Thanks and credit go to Aner Lucero, who laid the groundwork for this feature in the 2021 GSoC project. He contributed many changes, including modifications to the readers for HTML, JATS, and LaTeX, and to the HTML and JATS writers. Shared (Albert Krewinkel): - The new function `figureDiv`, exported from `Text.Pandoc.Shared`, offers a standardized way to convert a figure into a Div element. Readers (Aner Lucero): - HTML reader: `<figure>` elements are parsed as figures, with the caption taken from the respective `<figcaption>` elements. - JATS reader: The `<fig>` and `<caption>` elements are parsed into figure elements, even if the contents is more complex. - LaTeX reader: support for figures with non-image contents and for subfigures. - Markdown reader: paragraphs containing just an image are treated as figures if the `implicit_figures` extension is enabled. The identifier is used as the figure's identifier and the image description is also used as figure caption; all other attributes are treated as belonging to the image. Writers (Aner Lucero, Albert Krewinkel): - DokuWiki, Haddock, Jira, Man, MediaWiki, Ms, Muse, PPTX, RTF, TEI, ZimWiki writers: Figures are rendered like Div elements. - Asciidoc writer: The figure contents is unwrapped; each image in the the figure becomes a separate figure. - Classic custom writers: Figures are passed to the global function `Figure(caption, contents, attr)`, where `caption` and `contents` are strings and `attr` is a table of key-value pairs. - ConTeXt writer: Figures are wrapped in a "placefigure" environment with `\startplacefigure`/`\endplacefigure`, adding the features caption and listing title as properties. Subfigures are place in a single row with the `\startfloatcombination` environment. - DocBook writer: Uses `mediaobject` elements, unless the figure contains subfigures or tables, in which case the figure content is unwrapped. - Docx writer: figures with multiple content blocks are rendered as tables with style `FigureTable`; like before, single-image figures are still output as paragraphs with style `Figure` or `Captioned Figure`, depending on whether a caption is attached. - DokuWiki writer: Caption and "alt-text" are no longer combined. The alt text of a figure will now be lost in the conversion. - FB2 writer: The figure caption is added as alt text to the images in the figure; pre-existing alt texts are kept. - ICML writer: Only single-image figures are supported. The contents of figures with additional elements gets unwrapped. - HTML writer: the alt text is no longer constructed from the caption, as was the case with implicit figures. This reduces duplication, but comes at the risk of images that are missing alt texts. Authors should take care to provide alt texts for all images. Some readers, most notably the Markdown reader with the `implicit_figures` extension, add a caption that's identical to the image description. The writer checks for this and adds an `aria-hidden` attribute to the `<figcaption>` element in that case. - JATS writer: The `<fig>` and `<caption>` elements are used write figures. - LaTeX writer: complex figures, e.g. with non-image contents and subfigures, are supported. The `subfigure` template variable is set if the document contains subfigures, triggering the conditional loading of the *subcaption* package. Contants of figures that contain tables are become unwrapped, as longtable environments are not allowed within figures. - Markdown writer: figures are output as implicit figures if possible, via HTML if the `raw_html` extension is enabled, and as Div elements otherwise. - OpenDocument writer: A separate paragraph is generated for each block element in a figure, each with style `FigureWithCaption`. Behavior for single-image figures therefore remains unchanged. - Org writer: Only the first element in a figure is given a caption; additional block elements in the figure are appended without any caption being added. - RST writer: Single-image figures are supported as before; the contents of more complex images become nested in a container of type `float`. - Texinfo writer: Figures are rendered as float with type `figure`. - Textile writer: Figures are rendered with the help of HTML elements. - XWiki: Figures are placed in a group.

2022-12-28Man writer: use UTF-8 by default for non-ascii characters.John MacFarlane
Only use groff escapes if `--ascii` has been specified on the command line (`writerPreferAscii`). Closes #8507.
2022-10-19Split Text.Pandoc.Version from Text.Pandoc.Shared.John MacFarlane
This new module exports `pandocVersion` and `pandocVersionText`, which are no longer exported from Text.Pandoc.Shared. [API change] Also, we now set the `pandoc-version` variable centrally rather than in the writers. One effect is the man writer now emits a comment with the pandoc version (this was intended before, judging from the template, but it didn't happen because the vairable wasn't set).
2022-01-15Improve on fix to #7506.John MacFarlane
Don't boldface code in output formats that can represent it as monospace. Define aliases for VI, VB, VBI as well.
2022-01-15Man writer: use custom font V for inline code.John MacFarlane
The V font is defined conditionally, so that it renders like CB in output formats that support that, and like B in those that don't (e.g. the terminal). We could just redefine C, but this would affect code blocks, too, and putting them all in boldface looks ugly, I think. Possible drawback: fragments created by pandoc's man writer will presuppose a nonstandard V font. Closes #7506. Supersedes 253467a549dcc22384be96041fd6f886c4a7a935.
2022-01-15Man writer: Use boldface for inline code.John MacFarlane
Closes #7506. This also allows us to get rid of some special casing on definition lists that ensured that options in code spans would be boldface. (If this change is ever reverted, we'll need that again.)
2021-09-21Use pretty-simple to format native output.John MacFarlane
Previously we used our own homespun formatting. But this produces over-long lines that aren't ideal for diffs in tests. Easier to use something off-the-shelf and standard. Closes #7580. Performance is slower by about a factor of 10, but this isn't really a problem because native isn't suitable as a serialization format. (For serialization you should use json, because the reader is so much faster than native.)
2019-09-23Man writer: suppress non-absolute link URLs.John MacFarlane
Motivation: in a man page there's not much use for relative URLs, which you can't follow. Absolute URLs are still useful. We previously suppressed relative URLs starting with '#' (purely internal links), but it makes sense to go a bit farther. Closes #5770.
2019-07-13Man writer: Improved definition list term output.John MacFarlane
Now we boldface code but not other things. This matches the most common style in man pages (particularly option lists). Also, remove a regression in the last commit in which 'nowrap' was removed.
2019-07-13Man writer: fixed boldfacing of definition terms.John MacFarlane
Previously the bold-facing would be interrupted by other formatting, because we used `.B`. Closes #5620.
2018-12-13Man/Ms writers: don't escape `-` as `\-`.John MacFarlane
For discussion see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/pandoc-discuss/B-oiCXcQOVo/WO-BXVpICAAJ The `\-` gets rendered in HTML and PDF as a unicode minus sign.
2018-10-23Groff writer character escaping changes.John MacFarlane
T.P.GroffChar: replaced `essentialEscapes` with `manEscapes`, which includes all the escapes mentioned in the groff_man manual. T.P.Writers.Groff: removed escapeCode; changed parameter on escapeString from Bool to new type `EscapeMode`. Rewrote `escapeString`.
2018-10-22Groff writers escaping changes.John MacFarlane
- Improve escaping of accented characters with `--ascii`. Combining accents are now handled properly. - Don't escape spaces and tabs in code blocks. This doesn't seem to be necessary.
2018-10-19Man writer: avoid unnecessary `.RS`/`.RE` pair in defn lists.John MacFarlane
When the definition is just one paragraph, we don't need the `.RS\n.RE`.
2018-10-18GroffChar: fixed interpretation of `\-`.John MacFarlane
It is the ascii - sign, not the unicode hyphen.
2018-10-18Groff escaping changes.John MacFarlane
- `--ascii` is now turned on automatically for man output, for portability. All man output will be escaped to ASCII. - In T.P.Writers.Groff, `escapeChar`, `escapeString`, and `escapeCode` now take a boolean parameter that selects ascii-only output. This is used by the Ms writer for `--ascii`, instead of doing an extra pass after writing the document. - In ms output without `--ascii`, unicode is used whenever possible (e.g. for double quotes). - A few escapes are changed: e.g. `\[rs]` instead of `\\` for backslash, and `\ga]` instead of `` \` `` for backtick.
2018-10-17Move common groff functions to Text.Pandoc.Writers.GroffJohn MacFarlane
(unexported module). These are used in both the man and ms writers. Moved groffEscape out of Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared [cancels earlier API change from adding it, which was after last release]. This fixes strong/code combination on man (should be `\f[CB]` not `\f[BC]`), mentioned in #4973. Updated tests. Closes #4975.
2018-10-17Man writer: use \f[R] instead of \f[] to reset fontAlexander Krotov
Fixes #4973
2017-05-25Added `spaced_reference_links` extension.John MacFarlane
This is now the default for pandoc's Markdown. It allows whitespace between the two parts of a reference link: e.g. [a] [b] [b]: url This is now forbidden by default. Closes #2602.
2017-04-12Man writer: Fix handling of nested font commands.John MacFarlane
Previously pandoc emitted incorrect markup for bold + italic, for example, or bold + code. Closes #3568.
