List of projects

[jgm]

Here is a list of larger projects that could be done in pandoc. For smaller projects, see good first issues.

• Modify readers and writers to handle the new table features (col/rowspan etc). (See Support for table column spans, table attributes in AST #1024) (For individual readers and writers see LaTeX reader - support new table features #6311, HTML reader - support new table features #6312, LaTeX writer - support new table features #6313, HTML writer - support new table features #6314, Docx writer - support new table features #6315, Docx reader - support new table features #6316, RST reader - support new table features #6991, Handle col/rowspans in mediawiki tables #6992)

• Improve handling of figures with a new Block-level element. (See Explicit Figure element in Block #3177)

• Explore allowing attributes on all elements. (Permit adding attributes to all Markdown elements #684)

• Create a flexible system for labeling objects (images, tables, code) and referring back by number and/or link. Or, more minimally: handle \label and \ref better when parsing LaTeX. (See New Feature: internal links to tables and figures and headers #813, Doing something of LaTeX commands when generating HTML #165)

• Automatic identifiers for images and tables in HTML output. (automatic id for images and tables for html output #208) Must take care not to break existing documents relying on automatic identifiers for headers. (See also Image attributes #1806.)

• Syntax and (block or inline?) element for anchors (see Support for anchors #1299, Warning on broken internal links #1621, also http://talk.commonmark.org/t/turning-empty-link-definitions-into-anchors/893).

• Add a ConTeXt reader (Add a ConTeXt reader #1423) -- should be possible to modify the LaTeX reader.

• Add a plain TeX writer (Plain TeX writer #1541).

• Make Format an enumerated type (Make Format an enumerated type #547).

It would be great to have number 5 standardized. There are several workarounds out there making things complicated.

Maybe pin this issue?

Instead of creating numbers and striking them through, you can use a checklist ;)

There is now a "projects" tab where issues can be organized. They are moved automatically from "todo" to "done" as they are closed by default.

Closing this in favor of Projects tab.

I guess it makes no sense then to keep this as a pinned issue, so I'm unpinning it. Do we want to pin a different one?
