From b62ddeda02fadcd09def9354eb2ef46a7562a106 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waylan Limberg Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2017 23:18:29 -0500 Subject: Switch docs to MKDocs (#602) Fixes #601. Merged in 6f87b32 from the md3 branch and did a lot of cleanup. Changes include: * Removed old docs build tool, templates, etc. * Added MkDocs config file, etc. * filename.txt => filename.md * pythonhost.org/Markdown => Python-Markdown.github.io * Markdown lint and other cleanup. * Automate pages deployment in makefile with `mkdocs gh-deploy` Assumes a git remote is set up named "pages". Do git remote add pages https://github.com/Python-Markdown/Python-Markdown.github.io.git ... before running `make deploy` the first time. --- docs/release-2.1.0.txt | 122 ------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 122 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 docs/release-2.1.0.txt (limited to 'docs/release-2.1.0.txt') diff --git a/docs/release-2.1.0.txt b/docs/release-2.1.0.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 43230dc..0000000 --- a/docs/release-2.1.0.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,122 +0,0 @@ -title: Release Notes for v2.1.0 -prev_title: Release Notes for v2.1.1 -prev_url: release-2.1.1.html -next_title: Release Notes for v2.0.2 -next_url: release-2.0.2.html - -Python-Markdown 2.1.0 Release Notes -=================================== - -We are pleased to release Python-Markdown 2.1 which makes many -improvements on 2.0. In fact, we consider 2.1 to be what 2.0 should have been. -While 2.1 consists mostly of bug fixes, bringing Python-Markdown more inline -with other implementations, some internal improvements were made to the parser, -a few new built-in extensions were added, and HTML5 support was added. - -Python-Markdown supports Python versions 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, and 3.2 out -of the box. In fact, the same code base installs on Python 3.1 and 3.2 with no -extra work by the end user. - -Backwards-incompatible Changes ------------------------------- - -While Python-Markdown has received only minor internal changes since the last -release, there are a few backward-incompatible changes to note: - -* Support had been dropped for Python 2.3. No guarantees are made that the -library will work in any version of Python lower than 2.4. Additionally, while -the library had been tested with Python 2.4, consider Python 2.4 support to be -depreciated. It is not likely that any future versions will continue to support -any version of Python less than 2.5. Note that Python 3.0 is not supported due -to a bug in its 2to3 tool. If you must use Python-Markdown with Python 3.0, it -is suggested you manually use Python 3.1's 2to3 tool to do a conversion. - -* Python-Markdown previously accepted positional arguments on its class and -wrapper methods. It now expects keyword arguments. Currently, the positional -arguments should continue to work, but the solution feels hacky and may be -removed in a future version. All users are encouraged to use keyword arguments -as documented in the [Library Reference](reference.html). - -* Past versions of Python-Markdown provided module level Global variables which -controlled the behavior of a few different aspects of the parser. Those global -variables have been replaced with attributes on the Markdown class. -Additionally, those attributes are settable as keyword arguments when -initializing a class instance. Therefore, if you were editing the global -variables (either by editing the source or by overriding them in your code), -you should now set them on the class. See the -[Library Reference](reference.html) for the options available. - -* If you have been using the [HeaderId](extensions/header_id.html) extension -to define custom ids on headers, you will want to switch to using the new -[Attribute List](extensions/attr_list.html) extension. The HeaderId extension -now only auto-generates ids on headers which have not already had ids defined. -Note that the [Extra](extensions/extra.html) extension has been switched to use -Attribute Lists instead of HeaderId as it did previously. - -* Some code was moved into the `markdown.util` namespace which was previously -in the `markdown` namespace. Extension authors may need to adjust a few -import statements in their extensions to work with the changes. - -* The command line script name was changed to `markdown_py`. The previous name -(`markdown`) was conflicting with people (and Linux package systems) who also -had markdown.pl installed on there system as markdown.pl's command line script -was also named `markdown`. Be aware that installing Python-Markdown 2.1 -will not remove the old versions of the script with different names. You -may want to remove them yourself as they are unlikely to work properly. - -What's New in Python-Markdown 2.1 ---------------------------------- - -Three new extensions were added. [Attribute Lists](extensions/attr_list.html), -which was inspired by Maruku's feature of the same name, -[Newline to Break](extensions/nl2br.html), which was inspired by GitHub -Flavored Markdown, and [Smart Strong](extensions/smart_strong.html), which -fills a hole in the Extra extension. - -HTML5 is now supported. All this really means is that new block level elements -introduced in the HTML5 spec are now properly recognized as raw HTML. As -valid HTML5 can consist of either HTML4 or XHTML1, there is no need to add a -new HTML5 serializers. That said, `html5` and `xhtml5` have been added as -aliases of the `html4` and `xhtml1` serializers respectively. - -An XHTML serializer has been added. Previously, ElementTree's XML serializer -was being used for XHTML output. With the new serializer we are able to avoid -more invalid output like empty elements (i.e., `

`) which can choke -browsers. - -Improved support for Python 3.x. Now when running `setupy.py install` in -Python 3.1 or greater the 2to3 tool is run automatically. Note that Python 3.0 -is not supported due to a bug in its 2to3 tool. If you must use Python-Markdown -with Python 3.0, it is suggested you manually use Python 3.1's 2to3 tool to -do a conversion. - -Methods on instances of the Markdown class that do not return results can now -be changed allowing one to do `md.reset().convert(moretext)`. - -The Markdown class was refactored so that a subclass could define it's own -`build_parser` method which would build a completely different parser. In -other words, one could use the basic machinery in the markdown library to -build a parser of a different markup language without the overhead of building -the markdown parser and throwing it away. - -Import statements within markdown have been improved so that third party -libraries can embed the markdown library if they desire (licensing permitting). - -Added support for Python's `-m` command line option. You can run the markdown -package as a command line script. Do `python -m markdown [options] [args]`. -Note that this is only fully supported in Python 2.7+. Python 2.5 & 2.6 -require you to call the module directly (`markdown.__main__`) rather than -the package (`markdown`). This does not work in Python 2.4. - -The command line script has been renamed to `markdown_py` which avoids all the -various problems we had with previous names. Also improved the command line -script to accept input on `stdin`. - -The testing framework has been completely rebuilt using the Nose testing -framework. This provides a number of benefits including the ability to better -test the built-in extensions and other options available to change the parsing -behavior. See the [Test Suite](test_suite.html) documentation for details. - -Various bug fixes have been made, which are too numerous to list here. See the -[commit log](https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/commits/master) for a -complete history of the changes. -- cgit v1.2.3
