changelog for details.

Thanks to all who contributed, especially new contributor GHyman83.

• RST writer:

  • Don’t emit alignment markers in grid tables (RST grid tables should not include alignment markers #10857).

• Asciidoc writer:

  • Add support for sidebars (GHyman83).

• LaTeX writer:

  • Include alt option in \includegraphics (Alternative text for images from LaTeX #6095).

• Markdown writer:

  • Preserve figure attributes (Nikolay Yakimov, Markdown writer eats figure attributes #10867). Fixes a regression introduced by 0d2114e, which caused the Markdown writer to ignore attributes on the figure if it has class or key-value attributes set.

• HTML writer:

  • Use the ID prefix in the ID for the footnotes section (Benjamin Esham).

• Text.Pandoc.Writers.Shared:

  • gridTable: fix (3.7) regression with missing cell alignments (grid_table: alignments missing #10853).
  • gridTable: fix headings with colspans (grid_table: alignments lost when near cell colspan #10855). If the heading contains a colspan, we still need to include information in the header line about the colspecs.
  • gridTable: fix headerless tables. The top line should encode colspan information.

• Text.Pandoc.SelfContained:

  • Fix handling of empty script element (--embed-resources produced invalid HTML if the script tag doesn't have src="" or code #10862). Previously in this case the closing tag was dropped.
  • Do not drop data- attributes in script tags (--embed-resource drops data- attributes from the script tag #10861).

• Lua subsystem (Albert Krewinkel):

  • Add function pandoc.mediabag.make_data_uri (Expose makeDataUri via Lua #10876). The function takes a MIME type and raw data from which it creates an RFC 2397 data URI.

• tools/update-lua-module-docs: fix handling of wikilinks (Albert Krewinkel).

• doc/lua-filters.md: add missing docs for pandoc.Caption (Albert Krewinkel).

• Require texmath 0.12.10.3, typst 0.8.0.1
