Pandoc Scholar Versions Save

Released 2020-12-01

• Turned example dir into standalone example. The example is now clearer about how pandoc-scholar can be used when it was installed in a central location.

• Provide Docker images. Each new release is now accompanied by Docker images bundling all basic requirements into a single container. See the README for more info.

• Updated the LaTeX template. The template incorporates improvements from the latest pandoc version and will now also work with pandoc 2.11.

• Renamed class given to the <div> wrapper around author affiliations. The class was named author_affiliations, but the CSS styles assumed author-affiliations. The HTML markup has been updated to match the CSS.

• Removed unneeded files from lua-filters. Files for testing have been dropped; only the filter files and docs are kept. The next major version will also change the directory structure below lua-filters and get rid of the separate subdirectories for each filter.

Released 2020-06-17

• Update Lua filters to their most recent versions. This includes a fix to the abstract-to-meta filter, which would sometimes produce wrong results when used with pandoc 2.8 or newer.

Released 2020-04-25

• Fixed incorrect path in JATS target: a file in the dependency list of the JATS target was missing was missing a path prefix, causing make to fail the Makefile was included in a different directory.

• Fixed bibliography and citation handling in JATS: citations were formatted incorrectly if no CSL file was given. We also make sure that PANDOC_READER_OPTIONS are respected for JATS.

• Simplify bibliography handling for JSON-LD: it is now sufficient to define a bibliography field in the article metadata. Previously, JSON-LD generation failed unless the BIBLIOGRAPHY_FILE variable was set; the requirement for this variable has been removed.

Released 2020-04-21

• Running make clean is now ensured to only remove generated files (Sam Hiatt).

• JATS support has been improved and produces valid JATS 1.2 documents using the Journal Archiving and Interchange tag set. Bibliography entries in the documents are formatted with the given CSL style.

• The default LaTeX template has been updated to work with pandoc 2.9.

  • The options for the natbib package can be passed via the natbiboptions variable.

  • A new environment cslreferences is defined. It is used to contain pandoc-citeproc generated bibliographies.

• New make target default has been introduced. It is run instead of target all when make is called a specific target.

• The example is now generated with links between examples and references. Furthermore, the CSL file is explicitly defined to make it clearer how an alternative style can be used.

• The pandoc and pandoc-citeproc executables can now be set via the PANDOC and PANDOC_CITEPROC variables, respectively. The default is to use the binaries in the user's PATH.

Lua filters

• Fix a bug which caused separators to be inserted even for single authors. (#33)

Released 2019-01-16.

Templates

• Removed a newline in the HTML template which caused an extra space be inserted before institute addresses (Benjamin Lee).

• Include subtitle in PDF output (solution taken from pandoc, contributed by Andrew Dunning).

Released 2018-12-26.

Makefile

• Fix option for docx reference documents. (Mitchell Paulus)

• Fix option for odt reference documents.

Lua filters

• Fix filters for pandoc 2.3 and later; older versions should continue to work.

• author-info-blocks:

  • Fix LaTeX output, surround \dagger with dollars.

  • Keep authors as a list instead of joining them into a single entry when the output is LaTeX. This fixes LaTeX layout issues when many authors are given.

• pagebreak: New filter to convert \newpage commands into target-format appropriate page breaks. Not enabled by default.

• multiple-bibliographies: a filter which allows the creation of multiple bibliographies using pandoc-citeproc. Not enabled by default.

• Update to pandoc 2. Pandoc scholar now requires pandoc 2.1 or later.
• The internal document transformation system has been mostly rewritten. Instead of custom writers based on panlunatic, the new version now uses pandoc Lua filters. This builds on a well-tested system and removes some bugs due caused by panlunatic. Lua filters are also easier to use separately. E.g., using Lua filters allows to integrate desired functionality into a RMarkdown workflow.
• Added support for CiTO property cites_as_recommended_reading.
• Add missing author affiliations in HTML output (Thomas Sibley).
• JATS support no longer relies on a custom writer; output is generated directly via pandoc.
• Fixed sub/sup styling in HTML output
