` element inside a ``, and
`` elements have both `class` and `lang` attributes set
to the specified language.
Example:
Example
{:lang=ruby}
{:lang=markdown}
produces:
Example
{:lang=xml}
#### Changes in 0.5.0 ####
* Syntax changes:
* Compatibility with newest Markdown.pl: `[text]` as a synonim of `[text][]`.
* Meta data: the first IAL in a span environment now refers to the parent.
This makes it possible to set attributes for cells:
Head | Head |
---------------+-------+--
{:r} Hello + ...
{:r: scope='row'}
The first cell will have the `scope` attribute set to `row`.
* New settings:
* Disable the Maruku signature by setting `maruku signature: false`
* Stricter doctype. By the way -- did I mention it? --
**Maruku HTML has always been proper validating XHTML strict**
(if a page does not validate, please report it as a bug).
Of course, this only matters when using `maruku` as a standalone
program.
* I have updated the XHTML DTD used to support MathML:
currently using XHTML+MathML+SVG.
* Content-type set to `application/xhtml+xml`
* All entities are written as numeric entities.
* Bug fixes
* Many fixes in the code handling the sanitizing of inline HTML.
* `markdown=1` did not propagate to children.
* LaTeX: An exception was raised if an unknown entity was used.
#### Changes in 0.4.2 ####
* Adapted syntax to the [new meta-data proposal][proposal].
* Changes in LaTeX export:
* Links to external URLs are blue by default.
* New attributes: `latex_preamble` to add a custom preamble,
and `latex_cjk` to add packages for UTF-8 Japanese characters.
(**support for this is still shaky**). Example:
Title: my document
LaTeX CJK: true
LaTeX preamble: preamble.tex
Content
* Bug fixes
+ Images were not given `id` or `class` attributes.
+ Fixed bug in LaTeX export with handling of `<`,`>` enclosed URLs: ``.
#### Changes in 0.4.1 aka "Typographer" ####
* Implemented SmartyPants support:
'Twas a "test" to 'remember' -- in the '90s
--- while I was <>. She was 6\"12\'.
> 'Twas a "test" to 'remember' -- in the '90s --- while I was <>.
> She was 6\"12\'.
I adapted the code from RubyPants.
* Server directives between `` are properly preserved.
* Changes in LaTeX export:
* Now Japanese text rendering sort of works, using the following packages:
\usepackage[C40]{fontenc}
\usepackage[cjkjis]{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
Nevertheless, I could only get bitmap fonts working -- probably it's a problem
with my setup.
A quick test: 日本、中国、ひらがな、カタカナ。
* Fixed bugs in rendering of immediate links.
* External packages are `require`d only if needed.
* More symbols supported.
See the symbol list
[in HTML](http://maruku.rubyforge.org/entity_test.html) and
[in PDF](http://maruku.rubyforge.org/entity_test.pdf).
#### Changes in 0.4 ####
* First implementation of [the new meta-data syntax][meta].
* General refactorization of the code and much cleaner error reporting.
* Created [the RDOC documentation][rdoc].
* The `add_whitespace` method took too much time -- it was O(n^2).
* Added unit-tests for block-level elements.

#### Changes in 0.3 ####
* A real parser is used instead of a regexp-based system, also for span-level
elements.
Now Maruku is almost 2x faster than Bluecloth, while having more features.
Here are some benchmarks:
BlueCloth (to_html): parsing 0.00 sec + rendering 1.54 sec = 1.55 sec
Maruku (to_html): parsing 0.47 sec + rendering 0.38 sec = 0.85 sec
Maruku (to_latex): parsing 0.49 sec + rendering 0.25 sec = 0.73 sec
This is the result of running `lib/maruku/tests/benchmark.rb` on the Markdown
specification.
* Prettier HTML output by adding whitespace.
* Added a full suite of unit-tests for the span-level parser.
* Error management: Having a real parser, Maruku warns you about syntax issues.
The default action is to warn and try to continue. If you do this:
Maruku.new(string, {:on_error => :raise})
then syntax errors will cause an exception to be raised (you can catch this
and retry).
* Fixed a series of bugs in handling inline HTML code.
Immediate TODO-list:
* UTF-8 input/output works OK for HTML, however I am having pain trying to export
to LaTeX. I want at least Japanese characters support, so if you know how to
do this you are very welcome to give me an hand.
For example: in the HTML version, you should see accented characters in this
parenthesis:
> (àèìòù)
and Japanese text in these other parentheses:
> (カタカナで 私の 名前は アンドレア チェンシ です).
>
> (日本のガルは 大好き、でも、日本語は難しですから、そうぞ 英語話すガルを おしえてください).
In the LaTeX version, these do not appear. I know how to do LaTeX with
ISO-8859-1 encoding (European characters), but I'm struggling with half-baked
solutions for UTF-8 encoded documents.
* Implement the [new meta-data proposal][proposal].
* Exporting to Markdown (pretty printing).
* Exporting to HTML splitting in multiple files.
* RubyPants.
* Support for images in PDF.
