Org reader:
Don’t parse alphabetical lists unless the fancy_lists extension is enabled (#9042).
Allow escaping commas in macro arguments (Amneesh Singh).
JATS reader:
Support for <permissions> metadata (#9037, Julia Diaz). metadata objects with multiple fields are created, matching the structure in JATS.
Correct name of JATS element attrib.
Markdown reader:
Support images with wikilink syntax, e.g. ![[foo|bar]], when one of the wikilinks extension is enabled (#8853).
Allow a citation or reference link to be parsed after a ! (#8254).
Fix dropped ! before nonexistent reference (#9038).
LaTeX writer:
Fix regression in escaping URLs (#9043).
Use cite and bibitem to link up citations, even with citeproc. (#9031). This will give us better accessibility; when tagging is enabled, the citation can be linked to the bibliography entry. This changes some of the details of the layout and the default template. We now make CSLReferences a special enumitem list that will contain bibitems. Internal links inside citations to ids beginning in ref- are creating using cite instead of hyperref.
Use phantomsection and label instead of hypertarget (#9022).
Use hyperref for LaTeX internal links, hyperlink for beamer (since hyperref doesn’t seem to work) (#9022).
Backslash-escape % and # in URLs (#9014).
JATS writer:
Fix placement of ref-list when no title is specified for the reference section (#9017). (In this case we place it in back with an empty title.)
Man writer:
Avoid a .PP right after a section heading (#9020). This is at best a no-op (in groff man and mandoc) and at worst (in some formatters) may create extra whitespace.
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) (#9020).
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, #9020.)
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 (#9020).
Man template: don’t emit .hy, regardless of setting of hyphenate variable (#9020).
LaTeX template: special redefinition of st for CJK (#9019). soul’s version raises on error on CJK text.
Use latest skylighting-format-blaze-html (#7248). This works around a longstanding iOS Safari bug that caused long lines to be displayed in a different font size in highlighted code.
Allow skylighting 0.14 (and require it in pandoc core).
Allow text 2.1.
