Md2man Versions Save

Version 0.0.1 (2011-10-13)

First release! Happy birthday! Woohoo! :-)

Version 1.0.1 (2011-12-06)

Major:

• Renamed the project from "redcarpet-manpage" to "md2man".

  • RedcarpetManpage::Renderer is now Md2Man::Engine.

  • RedcarpetManpage::RENDERER is now Md2Man::ENGINE.

• Tagged paragraphs no longer require the first line to begin with italic or bold styling. All that matters is that the subsequent lines are indented.

Minor:

• Added md2man(1) executable for command-line usage.

• Added support for all HTML 4.0 and XHTML 1.0 entities.

• Added support for tables, horizontal rules, and more.

• Added Md2Man::Roff mixin for advanced Redcarpet2 usage.

• Improved README with some new and revised documentation.

Other:

• Rewrote entire Markdown to Roff conversion from scratch while doing TDD.

Version 1.0.2 (2012-01-09)

Patch:

• Blockquote's leading paragraph regexp was not anchored.

• Freezing internal constants prevents monkey patching.

Other:

• Upgraded to Binman 3 for better interoperability with Bundler.

• Added example input file from the Linux Man Page Howto.

• Forgot to change project slogan in the gem package.

Version 1.1.0 (2012-02-02)

Minor:

• Add Md2Man::Document module for programmatic processing of cross-references to other UNIX manual pages within Redcarpet.

Other:

• README: not all systems support man -l option.

• gemspec: upgrade to redcarpet 2.1.0.

• bundler suggests moving all dev deps into gemspec.

• README: fix installation commands for development.

• README: simplify project slogan to be more memorable.

Version 1.2.0 (2012-02-06)

Minor:

• The Md2Man::Document module now handles paragraph() nodes and dispatches their content accordingly to hook methods for indented, tagged, and normal paragraphs. A Redcarpet markdown parser need only include that module and implement those hook methods in order to benefit from md2man's extensions to markdown syntax programmatically.

Other:

• README: mention features; revise markdown; cleanup.

• LICENSE: @tanoku created initial Manpage renderer.

Version 1.2.1 (2012-07-05)

Patch:

• GH-4: ruby 1.8.7 lacks negative lookbehind regexps. Thanks to Postmodern for reporting this issue.

Other:

• GH-1: use ~> for gem version constraints. See http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/16 Thanks to Postmodern for this contribution.

Version 1.3.0 (2012-09-27)

Minor:

• Intra-word emphasis is now enabled by default in Md2Man::ENGINE. To not be affected by this change, you may still construct your own Redcarpet::Markdown engine with your own set of processing options.

Version 1.3.1 (2012-10-09)

Patch:

• roff: do not render references inside code blocks.

• roff: do not render references inside code spans.

• roff: fix single-line indented paragraph detection.

• roff: also indent block_code just like block_quote.

• roff: add paragraph above block_quote for spacing.

• roff: render code blocks as paragraphs for spacing.

  Otherwise there's not enough space between the previous paragraph and the code block: it appears on the next line and appears ugly in man(1).

• document: make reference regexp match more manpages.

Other:

• document: stronger digest encoding using NUL bytes.

• document: super() can't reach Redcarpet's renderer classes. See https://github.com/vmg/redcarpet/issues/51 for details.

Version 1.3.2 (2012-10-13)

Patch:

• roff: escape backslashes inside codespan nodes too

• roff: escape backslashes inside block_code nodes

Version 1.4.0 (2012-10-14)

Minor:

• roff: emit non-first H1 headings as H2 headings

• html: add Md2Man::HTML::Engine class for HTML manual page generation

• html: add md2man-html(1) bin script for command line access to the above

• html: add ID attributes on all headings for easy permalinking

• rake: add md2man/rakefile to process markdown files in man/

  This library provides a rake md2man task that builds UNIX and HTML manual pages from Markdown files (with ".markdown", ".mkd", or ".md" extension) inside your man/man*/ directories. It also provides sub-tasks to build only UNIX or HTML manual pages separately.

  It also hooks into Bundler's gem packaging tasks to automatically build your manual pages for packaging into a gem. See the README for details.
