Changes for version 1.0.17 - 2008-03-17

  • Add Markdown.pl and MultiMarkdown.pl, which work the same way as the original Markdown.pl. These scripts *are not* installed by default, but you will be prompted to install them when you run Makefile.PL
  • Make _DeTab significantly quicker. Text::Balanced is still the main performance sore point however. :(
  • Re-organise the module code so that Text::Markdown is a standalone module which does not require Text::MultiMarkdown. Text::MultiMarkdown now inherits from Text::Markdown and adds the additional MultiMarkdown functionality. This is a *large* change to the module's internals, but is much more in the spirit of the original Markdown project (and should silence most complaints about how the code works, and possible even stop John Gruber hating my guts).
    • If you were using Text::Markdown previously, but relying on an implicit MultiMarkdown feature, this *could be a breaking change*.
    • Detailed description of any possible user visible changes below:
    • Text::Markdown will no longer supports the additional attribute specification for images and links feature, which was not in original Markdown, but were previously supported after the code merge of Text::Markdown and Text::MultiMarkdown.
      • If you are relying on this features, it is recommended that you use Text::MultiMarkdown (configured as you prefer), as this is not a supported feature in the original Markdown.
    • Text::MultiMarkdown has changed the order of attributes in image tags, the id attribute is moved from the first to the last attribute (barring user supplied attributes). An example of the expected change is included below:
      • Old output: <img id="image" src="http://path.to/image" alt="image" title="Image title" width="40px" height="400px" />
      • New output: <img src="http://path.to/image" alt="image" title="Image title" id="image" width="40px" height="400px" />
      • This is due to the code re-organisation, moving the id attribute around shouldn't affect anything that isn't relying on the attribute ordering (which is meant to be unimportant in HTML), and allows for simplification of the unified code.
