v2.18.0 - 2024-04-17

Added

v2.17.0 - 2024-04-14

Added

  • Literate can now output Quarto notebooks (markdown documents with the .qmd file extension) by passing flavor = Literate.QuartoFlavor() to Literate.markdown. This feature is marked as experimental since it has not been widely tested and the Quarto-specific syntax may change before Literate version 3 depending on what the community wants or needs. (#199, #200)

v2.16.1 - 2024-01-04

Fixed

  • Fix removal of Documenter-style @ref links spanning multiple lines. (#224, #233)

v2.16.0 - 2023-11-08

Added

  • "Soft" scoping rules (see e.g. https://github.com/JuliaLang/SoftGlobalScope.jl) are now available for code execution (markdown and notebook output). This is enabled by default for Jupyter notebook output (to mimic how the IJulia kernel works), and disabled otherwise. Soft scope rules can be enabled/disabled with the softscope :: Bool configuration variable. (#227, #230)

Changed

  • The minimum Julia version requirement for Literate >= 2.16.0 is now 1.6.0 (from 1.0.0). (#230)

v2.15.1 - 2023-11-08

Fixed

  • Fix a bug where Literate.markdown with execute=true would (try to) output images in the wrong directory. This only occured when passing a relative output directory. (#228, #229)

v2.15.0 - 2023-09-05

Added

  • Documenter style @raw html blocks are automatically handled in Jupyter notebook output (similar to how Documenter style `math blocks are rewritten to $$ blocks). (#222, #223)

v2.14.2 - 2023-08-28

Fixed

  • Remove double newline in Literate.script output. (#221)

v2.14.1 - 2023-08-04

Fixed

  • Update generated EditURL to use a relative path instead and let Documenter figure out the remote repository. This is required for Documenter version 1, but works also on Documenter 0.27. (#219)

v2.14.0 - 2022-09-22

Changed

  • Image filenames resulting from executing markdown files (Literate.markdown(...; execute=true)) have changed from a number based on the hash of the source block to the format {name}-{blocknumber}.(svg|png|...). (#204, #205)

v2.13.4 - 2022-06-03

Fixed

  • Automatic head branch detection (introduced in version 2.11.0) caused a performance regression since the git remote show command takes ~1 second. For documentation builds with many literate files this caused significant slowdowns, which is particularly annoying when doing iterative buils with eg. LiveServer.jl. Literate now caches the remote head branch on a per-repo basis, so the 1 second delay should only be noticed on the first run of the first file in a repo. As noted in the changelog entry for 2.11.0 it is also possible to specify the head branch by passing the edit_commit keyword argument. Doing so will now completely skip the slow git command. (8054d26)

v2.13.3 - 2022-05-21

Fixed

  • Update remote HEAD branch detection to use addenv instead of setenv such that e.g. ssh-agent variables are available to the git command. Also set GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -o "BatchMode yes"' to supress prompts when using ssh. (#197)

v2.13.2 - 2022-04-22

Fixed

  • Set current working directory for markdown execution to the output directory, just like notebook execution. (#195)
  • Set the apparent source file to the output file for markdown and notebook execution. (#195)

v2.13.1 - 2022-04-12

Fixed

  • Disable git terminal prompt when detecting remote HEAD branch. (#194)

v2.13.0 - 2022-02-18

Changed

  • "Markdown stdlib-style" inline math (e.g. ``f(x) = x^2``) is now replaced with "notebook style" math ($f(x) = x^2$) for notebook output. This is already the case for display math ($```math$). (#116, #190)

Fixed

  • Lines with trailing #hide are not shown in output of Markdown execution with Documenter flavor. (#166, #188)

v2.12.1 - 2022-02-10

Fixed

  • Make sure Markdown execution picks up new definitions of display methods (by running in the latest "world age"). (#187)

v2.12.0 - 2022-02-01

Changed

  • User input configurations can now be AbstractDicts instead of just Dicts. (#185, #186)

v2.11.0 - 2022-01-25

Added

  • Literate now tries to figure out the branch/commit that EditURL should point to automatically instead of always defaulting to "master". For typical setups the auto-detection should be sufficient, but you can also set it explicitly by passing edit_commit, for example edit_commit = "main". (#179, #184)

v2.10.0 - 2022-01-24

Added

  • Markdown execution now also support image/svg+xml. (#182, #183)

v2.9.4 - 2021-10-18

Fixed

  • Fix multiline comment support for \r\n line endings. (#171, #172)

v2.9.3 - 2021-09-01

Fixed

  • Fix named @examples from Literate.markdown to not contain spaces even if the source filename does. (#168, #169)

v2.9.2 - 2021-08-16

Fixed

  • Fix multiline comment support for \r\n line endings. (#165, #167)

v2.9.1 - 2021-07-30

Fixed

  • Automatic URLs from @__NBVIEWER_ROOT_URL__ and @__BINDER_ROOT_URL__ now follow the convention used in Documenter.jl to ignore build version information. (#162, #163)

v2.9.0 - 2021-07-09

Added

  • Added "Franklin flavored" markdown output for usage with Franklin. Enable by passing the flavor keyword argument:
    Literate.markdown(...; flavor = Literate.FranklinFlavor())
    (#146, #147, #156)
  • Added "Documenter flavored" markdown output as a replacement for documenter=true, and "CommonMark flavored" markdown output as a replacement for documenter=false. Enable by passing the flavor keyword argument:
    Literate.markdown(...; flavor = Literate.DocumenterFlavor())
    Literate.markdown(...; flavor = Literate.CommonMarkFlavor())
    (#159)
  • Added option to use multiline markdown strings (md""" ... """) as markdown sections. To enable, pass mdstrings=true. (#152, #149)

Changed

  • The default code fence for markdown output have been changed to 4 (instead of 3) backticks to allow input files with 3 backticks, which is common in e.g. docstrings or multiline Cmd. (#144, #145)
  • Replacement of Documenter-style @ref and @id elements are now removed unconditionally instead of conditionally based on the (now deprecated) documenter keyword argument. (#159)

Deprecated

  • The documenter keyword argument has been deprecated. For Literate.markdown the the replacement is to use flavor = Literate.DocumenterFlavor() or flavor = Literate.CommonMarkFlavor() as appropriate (see above). For Literate.notebook and Literate.script the option is now unused (see above regarding @ref and @id), and no replacement is necessary. (#159)

v2.8 - 2021-01-19

Added

  • Execution of notebooks now capture output of display(x) and display(mime, x) (ceff7a3).

v2.7 - 2021-09-12

Added

  • Multiline-style Julia comments (#= ... =#) can now be used for markdown input (dc409d0).

v2.6 - 2020-08-15

Added

  • New end-of-line token #hide which filters out the line after execution in Literate.markdown(...; execute=true) (6d1aec9).
  • Markdown execution now captures the text/markdown MIME (e08ca0a).

v2.5 - 2020-05-14

Changed

  • The output directory now defaults to pwd() (2ba316a).

v2.4 - 2020-04-23
