pandoc 3.8.2

[jgm]

I'm pleased to announce the release of pandoc 3.8.2,
available in the usual places:

Binary packages & changelog:

Source & API documentation:

This release fixes a regression in the typst template (since 3.8), which caused links to be omitted.

It also adds a new default Markdown extension, `table_attributes`, which allows attributes to be added to tables by putting them after the caption.

API change: Add `Ext_table_attributes` constructor to Extension.

Thanks to all who contributed.

• Markdown reader/writer: implement new table_attributes extension (retrieve markdown table class from attributes #10884). When table_attributes is enabled (as it is by default for pandoc’s Markdown), attributes can be attached to a table by including them at the end of the caption. Previously the writer would emit an identifier in this position, but the reader didn’t handle it. Now arbitrary attributes are allowed, and they work in both the reader and writer.

• Typst writer: don’t add superfluous semicolons (Extra semicolons in mid-word nested Typst emph/strong formatting #11196). Previously we added semicolons after inline commands not followed by spaces, but mainly this was to deal with one issue: the presence of a semicolon after an inline command, which would be swallowed as a command separator (Semicolon swallowed after link with org mode input and typst as pdf engine #9252). This commits adopts an approach that should avoid so many superfluous semicolons: it escapes semicolons that might come right after a command.

• Typst template: fix 3.8 regression in which links disappear (Typst writer regression: Link with label isn't rendered in PDF #11194). A template change in 3.8 added a show rule for links which causes them to disappear except in special cases.

• Text.Pandoc.Parsing: rewrite oneOfStrings more efficiently.

• LaTeX writer: Fix strikeout in links (LaTeX writer: Fix strikeout in links #11192, Tuong Nguyen Manh). As in LaTeX writer produces erroneous output for striked out code with highlighting #1294 \url and \href need to be protected inside an mbox for soul commands.

• Text.Pandoc.Extensions: Add Ext_table_attributes constructor for Extension [API change].

• Use released texmath 0.13.0.1.

• Update FSF contact information in COPYING (Update contact information #11183, Bensun Muite).

• MANUAL.txt: remove some redundancy (Minor documentation improvement #11178, Reuben Thomas).
