doctemplates

0.4

• Split into three modules. Main module only exports an opaque version of the Template type. Import Internal if you need to manipulate a Template.

• Add Context type, parameterized on the underlying content's type.

• Add Val type.

• Add valueToContext for converting an Aeson Value to a Context.

• Make renderTemplate and applyTemplate polymorphic in both context and target. Context parameter is now any instance of ToContext (instead of ToJSON). Result is now any instance of TemplateTarget.

• Change type of getPartial in TemplateMonad so it runs in the TemplateMonad instance, not the Parser. Return a simple value rather than an Either; error handling can vary with the monad.

• Remove TemplatePart. Template is now an algebraci data type, not a list of TemplateParts.

• Add an Indented type to indicate indentation for interpolated variables.

• Improve architecture, doing more at compile time.

• Depend on doclayout. Context can be parameterized on a doclayout Doc type, allowing intelligent reflowing of content.

• Remove single final newline in interpolated variable.

• Remove final newline from partial.

• Don't iterate when the variable evaluates to NullVal.

• Only indented interpolated variables if by themselves on line.

• Add Indented parameter to Interpolate constructor.

• Update documentation and haddocks.

• Add benchmark.

0.3.0.1

• Bump lower bound on base to 4.9, drop support for ghc 7.10.

• Add needed import for older base versions.

• Add test.hs to repository.

0.3

• Note that all of the changes to template syntax described below are backwards compatible, and all old pandoc templates should continue to work as before.

• Allow ${...} style delimiters around variables and directives, in addition to $...$. Allow space around the delimiters.

• Support $it$ as a variable for the current value in an iteration. (The old method, where the containing variable name is used, still works.)

• Support partials (subtemplates defined in different files).

• Interpolated array variables now have all elements rendered, concatenated, with an optional separator that can be specified using a new bracketed syntax.

• Remove TemplateTarget class. It was pointless; the calling program can just do these trivial transformations. Avoids dependencies on bytestring, blaze-html, blaze-markup.

• Change type of renderTemplate and applyTemplate to produce a Text, instead of being polymorphic.

• Changed type of compileTemplate: it now takes a template path and the template contents, and returns either a template or an error. It runs in an instance of TemplateMonad, which is an abstraction around different ways of getting partials. (For example, in IO we can get partials by reading them from a file system, but in a web application one might want to obtain them from the database or have a set of them baked in.)

• Remove varListToJSON.

• Changed the architecture: Template is no longer just a newtype around a function, but a list of TemplateParts.

• Added a newtype for Variable.

• Improved documentation in README.md.

• Added a new test framework and much more extensive tests.
