232 # Markdown Mode 2.4
234 *May 30, 2020*
236 * **Breaking changes:**
238 - GNU Emacs 25.1 or later is required. And xemacs support has been dropped
239 - Face variables, such as `markdown-italic-face` are now
240 obsolete. Use face names directly in code and customizations.
241 The face names themselves are unaffected, so this shouldn't

245 `gfm-font-lock-keywords` are now obsolete.

247 should use `font-lock-add-keywords` instead of modifying this
248 variable.
249 - `markdown-mode` now adds entries to the beginning of
250 `auto-mode-alist` rather than the end. If you were relying on
251 the previous behavior in order to override these entries, you
252 should fix the problem by following best practice and ensuring
253 that your user configuration is loaded after the autoloads for
254 `markdown-mode` are evaluated. ([GH-331][], [GH-335][])

273 `markdown-html-attr-value-face`. ([GH-249][])
274 - Font lock for HTML entities, with a new face
275 `markdown-html-entity-face`.

277 a cons cell of the form `(max-width . max-height)`.
278 - Added read-only viewing modes `markdown-view-mode` and
279 `gfm-view-mode` with keymaps similar to `view-mode` and
280 `help-mode`. ([GH-296][])

282 index using `markdown-add-footnotes-to-imenu`. ([GH-235][])

285 tags around the output. ([GH-280][], [GH-281][])
286 - Add `markdown-unused-refs` command to list and clean up unused
287 references (available via `C-c C-c u`). ([GH-322][])
288 - Add `markdown-insert-table` (`C-c C-s t`) for interactive
289 table insertion. ([GH-369][])
290 - Add `markdown-kill-outline` and `markdown-kill-block`
291 functions.
292 - Added `markdown-display-remote-images` for viewing remote
293 images. Thanks to Sean Allread for the patch. ([GH-378][])
294 - `markdown-back-to-heading` can be used as command ([GH-415][])
296 * Improvements:
298 - Insert references before local variables. Thanks to Philipp
299 Stephani for a patch. ([GH-216][], [GH-262][])

311 and `markdown-fontify-code-block-default-mode` to specify default
312 modes for indirect editing and fontification of code blocks.
313 ([GH-251][], [GH-303][])
314 - Insert-and-indirect-edit GFM code blocks simultaneously by
315 giving a prefix argument to `C-c C-s C`. ([GH-251][])
316 - Improve package load time by deferring calls to
317 `char-displayable-p`. ([GH-264][])
318 - Only raise footnotes when markup hiding is on.
319 Footnote display properties may now be customized via
320 `markdown-footnote-display`. ([GH-247][])
321 - Customizable subscript and superscript display properties
322 via `markdown-sub-superscript-display`.
323 - Several font-lock performance improvements.

487 # Markdown Mode 2.3
489 *August 31, 2017*
491 * **Breaking changes:**
493 - `markdown-mode` now requires Emacs 24.3 or later.
494 - Markup insertion and replacement keybindings under <kbd>C-c
495 C-s</kbd> (_s_ for style) have been revised to make them
496 easier to remember. Now, when the prefix <kbd>C-c C-s</kbd>
497 is pressed, a short minibuffer help prompt is presented as a
498 reminder of a few of the most frequently used keys. The major
499 changes are that bold is now inserted with <kbd>b</kbd>
500 (previously <kbd>s</kbd>) and italic is now <kbd>i</kbd>
501 (previously <kbd>e</kbd>). As a result, blockquote is now
502 <kbd>q</kbd> (previously <kbd>b</kbd>) and strikethrough
503 markup is inserted with <kbd>s</kbd> (previously
504 <kbd>d</kbd>). Press <kbd>C-c C-s C-h</kbd> for a complete
505 list of markup insertion keybindings. Heading insertion
506 commands are also now under <kbd>C-c C-s</kbd>.
507 - Link insertion and editing has been consolidated into one
508 command, `markdown-insert-link`, bound to <kbd>C-c C-l</kbd>.
509 As such, the previous separate link insertion keybindings have
510 been removed: <kbd>C-c C-a l</kbd>, <kbd>C-c C-a L</kbd>,
511 <kbd>C-c C-a r</kbd>, and <kbd>C-c C-a u</kbd>.
512 - Image insertion and editing has been consolidated into one
513 command, `markdown-insert-image`, bound to <kbd>C-c C-i</kbd>.
514 As such, the previous separate image insertion keybindings have
515 been removed: <kbd>C-c C-i i</kbd> and <kbd>C-c C-i I</kbd>.
516 - Footnote and wiki link insertion have been moved to the
517 markup insertion prefix, as <kbd>C-c C-s f</kbd> and
518 <kbd>C-c C-s w</kbd>.
519 - The list and outline editing commands have been removed from
520 the top-level positions (previously <kbd>M-LEFT</kbd>,
521 <kbd>M-RIGHT</kbd>, <kbd>M-UP</kbd>, <kbd>M-DOWN</kbd>)
522 and moved to major mode keybindings under <kbd>C-c</kbd> to
523 <kbd>C-c LEFT</kbd>, <kbd>C-c RIGHT</kbd>,
524 <kbd>C-c UP</kbd>, and <kbd>C-c DOWN</kbd>, respectively.
525 ([GH-164][])
526 - The list and outline editing commands have also been unified
527 so that they all operate on entire subtrees of list items and
528 subtrees of atx headings, symmetrically. Previously there were
529 separate commands for editing heading subtrees, but promoting
530 a single section is easy enough by directly inserting or
531 removing a hash mark or using the markup replacement commands.
532 - Jumping between references and reference definitions via
533 `markdown-jump`, previously bound to <kbd>C-c C-l</kbd>, has
534 been moved to <kbd>C-c C-d</kbd> and rebranded as
535 `markdown-do`, which attempts to do something sensible with
536 the object at the point.
537 - Rename internal `markdown-link-link` to `markdown-link-url`
538 for clarity.
539 - The old inline image toggling command <kbd>C-c C-i C-t</kbd>
540 has been removed and replaced <kbd>C-c C-x C-i</kbd> in order
541 to allow for the new interactive image insertion command at
542 <kbd>C-c C-i</kbd>. Toggling keybindings are currently being
543 grouped under <kbd>C-c C-x</kbd>.
544 - `markdown-blockquote-face` is now applied to the entire
545 blockquote, including the leading `>`, so it can be used to
546 apply a background if desired.
547 - In `markdown-regex-header`, groups 4 and 6 now include
548 whitespace surrounding hash marks in atx headings.
549 - Font lock for `~~strikethrough~~` is now supported in
550 `markdown-mode` in addition to `gfm-mode`.
551 - Introduced a new face for horizontal rules: `markdown-hr-face`.
552 Previously, `markdown-header-delimiter-face` was used.
553 - Markdown Mode is now distributed under the GNU GPL version 3
554 or later.
555 - Rename `markdown-fill-forward-paragraph-function` to
556 `markdown-fill-forward-paragraph`.
557 - Rename `markdown-footnote-face` to `markdown-footnote-marker-face`.
558 - Functions `markdown-insert-inline-link-dwim` and
559 `markdown-insert-reference-link-dwim` have been combined and
560 replaced with `markdown-insert-link`.
561 - Functions `markdown-exdent-region` and `markdown-exdent-or-delete`
562 are now named `markdown-outdent-region` and
563 `markdown-outdent-or-delete`, respectively.
564 - The non-interactive image insertion commands have been
565 refactored to mirror the corresponding link insertion
566 commands. `markdown-insert-image` (for inline images) has
567 been renamed `markdown-insert-inline-image` and it now takes
568 three arguments (previously one optional argument).
569 `markdown-insert-reference-image` now takes four arguments
570 (previously none).
572 * New features:
574 - Markup hiding: Add a custom variable `markdown-hide-markup`,
575 which determines whether to hide or otherwise beautify
576 Markdown markup. For example, for inline links the brackets,
577 URL, and title will be hidden and only the (clickable) link
578 text will remain. The URL can be seen by hovering with the
579 mouse pointer and edited by deleting one of the invisible
580 brackets or parentheses. This can be toggled interactively
581 using <kbd>C-c C-x C-m</kbd> (`markdown-toggle-markup-hiding`).
582 This setting supersedes URL hiding (below). ([GH-130][])
583 - Unicode bullets are used to replace ASCII list item markers
584 for unordered lists when markup hiding is enabled. The list
585 of characters used, in order of list level, can be specified
586 by setting the variable `markdown-list-item-bullets`.
587 ([GH-130][])
588 - When markup hiding is enabled, the characters used for
589 replacing certain markup can be changed by customizing the
590 corresponding variables:
591 `markdown-blockquote-display-char`,
592 `markdown-hr-display-char`, and
593 `markdown-definition-display-char`.
594 - URL and reference label hiding: URLs for inline links and
595 labels for reference links can now be hidden if desired. This is
596 configurable via `markdown-hide-urls`. URLs will appear as
597 `[link](∞)` instead of
598 `[link](http://perhaps.a/very/long/url/)`. To change the
599 placeholder character used, set `markdown-url-compose-char`.
600 This feature can be toggled using <kbd>C-c C-x C-l</kbd>
601 (`markdown-toggle-url-hiding`). If full markup hiding (above)
602 is enabled, then URL hiding has no additional effect.
603 - Native code block font-lock: Add a custom variable
604 `markdown-fontify-code-blocks-natively`, which determines
605 whether to fontify code in code blocks using the native major
606 mode. This only works for fenced code blocks where the
607 language is specified where we can automatically determine the
608 appropriate mode to use. The language to mode mapping may be
609 customized by setting the variable `markdown-code-lang-modes`.
610 ([GH-123][], [GH-185][])
611 - When the [`edit-indirect`](https://github.com/Fanael/edit-indirect/)
612 package is installed, <kbd>C-c '</kbd> (`markdown-edit-code-block`)
613 can be used to edit a code block in an indirect buffer in the native
614 major mode. Press <kbd>C-c C-c</kbd> to commit changes and return
615 or <kbd>C-c C-k</kbd> to cancel.
616 - Add command <kbd>C-c C-x C-f</kbd> for toggling native font lock
617 for code blocks (`markdown-toggle-fontify-code-blocks-natively`).
618 - Add "page" movement, marking, and narrowing commands, where a
619 "page" in Markdown is defined to be a top-level subtree:
620 `markdown-forward-page` (<kbd>C-x ]</kbd>),
621 `markdown-backward-page` (<kbd>C-x [</kbd>),
622 `markdown-mark-page` (<kbd>C-x C-p</kbd>), and
623 `markdown-narrow-to-page` (<kbd>C-x n p</kbd>). ([GH-191][])
624 - Add subtree marking and narrowing functions:
625 `markdown-mark-subtree` (<kbd>C-c C-M-h</kbd>) and
626 `markdown-narrow-to-subtree` (<kbd>C-x n s</kbd>).
627 ([GH-191][])
628 - Add syntax-aware Markdown paragraph movement commands:
629 <kbd>M-{</kbd> (`markdown-backward-paragraph`) and
630 <kbd>M-}</kbd> (`markdown-forward-paragraph`). To mark a
631 paragraph, use <kbd>M-h</kbd> (`markdown-mark-paragraph`).
632 These move at a more granular level than the block movement
633 commands. ([GH-191][])
634 - The previous block movement and marking commands are now at
635 <kbd>C-M-{</kbd>, <kbd>C-M-}</kbd>, and <kbd>C-c M-h</kbd>.
636 In terms of lists, paragraph movement commands now stop at
637 each list item while block commands move over entire lists.
638 ([GH-191][])
639 - Add `subtree` as a possible value for
640 `markdown-reference-location` and
641 `markdown-footnote-location`.
642 - Ask flyspell to ignore words in URLs, code fragments,
643 comments, and reference labels.
644 - Make inline links, reference links, angle bracket URLs, and
645 plain URLs clickable.
646 - Add an additional keybinding for toggling inline image
647 display, <kbd>C-c C-x C-i</kbd>.
648 - Add a keybinding for toggling LaTeX math (_e_quation) support:
649 <kbd>C-c C-x C-e</kbd>.
650 - Support Leanpub blocks (asides, info blocks, warnings, etc.).
651 These are simple extensions of the usual blockquote syntax.
652 - Font lock, with markup hiding, for subscripts (e.g., `H~2~0`)
653 and superscripts (e.g., `334^10^`). Thanks to Syohei Yoshida
654 for a patch on which this is based. ([GH-134][])
655 - Add basic font-lock support for inline attribute lists or
656 inline identifiers used by Pandoc, Python Markdown, PHP
657 Markdown Extra, Leanpub, etc.
658 - Add basic font-lock support for Leanpub section identifiers and
659 page breaks.
660 - Add basic font-lock support for common file inclusion syntax:
661 `<<(file)`, `<<[title](file)`, `<<[file]`, and `<<{file}`.
662 - Add font lock support for Pandoc inline footnotes. ([GH-81][])
663 - Raise footnote markers and inline footnote text, and
664 optionally hide markup.
665 - Filling with now respects Pandoc line blocks. ([GH-144][])
666 - Add interactive link editing and insertion command
667 `markdown-insert-link`. ([GH-199][])
668 - Added <kbd>C-c C-d</kbd>, `markdown-do`, which is a
669 replacement for <kbd>C-c C-l</kbd>, `markdown-jump`. In
670 addition to jumping between reference/footnote labels and
671 definitions, it also toggles GFM checkboxes.
672 - Outline movement keys <kbd>C-c C-p</kbd>, <kbd>C-c C-n</kbd>,
673 <kbd>C-c C-f</kbd>, <kbd>C-c C-b</kbd>, and <kbd>C-c C-u</kbd>
674 now move between list items, when the point is in a list,
675 and move between headings otherwise.
676 - New customization option `markdown-spaces-after-code-fence` to
677 control the number of spaces inserted after a code fence (` ``` `).
678 Thanks to Philipp Stephani for a patch. ([GH-232][])
679 - New customization option `markdown-gfm-uppercase-checkbox` which,
680 when non-nil, uses `[X]` to complete task list items instead of
681 `[x]`. Thanks to Paul Rankin for a patch. ([GH-236][])
682 - Add prefix-specific prompts for styles (`C-c C-s`) and toggles
683 (`C-c C-x`). These may be disabled if desired by setting
684 `markdown-enable-prefix-prompts` to `nil`.
686 * Improvements:
688 - Document customizable variables added in version 2.2 with
689 `:package-version` tags.
690 - Better consistency of function names: predicate functions
691 ending in `-p` shouldn't modify match data.
692 - Generalize rebinding of paragraph movement commands in case users
693 have customized `{forward,backward,mark}-paragraph` bindings.
694 - Adjust point so that it is left at beginning of setext
695 headings in heading navigation commands.
696 - Prevent inline link matching in code blocks.
697 - When inserting a new reference definition, don't add blank
698 line after existing reference definitions.
699 - `markdown-toggle-inline-images` now displays the status in the
700 minibuffer.
701 - Increased default heading scaling range slightly, to make
702 level differences more pronounced when markup is hidden.
703 - Reuse existing windows, when possible, rather than splitting
704 again in preferred direction. ([GH-129][])
705 - Update known languages in `markdown-gfm-recognized-languages`.
706 - Filling with `fill-region` now leaves code blocks unmodified.
707 ([GH-192][])
708 - Avoid error when live-previewing a buffer that's not visiting
709 a file. Thanks to Tianxiang Xiong for a patch.
710 ([GH-200][], [GH-201][])
711 - Adaptive filling for Leanpub blocks.
712 - Set variable `comment-use-syntax`. ([GH-213][])
713 - Support `electric-quote-inhibit-functions` for inhibiting
714 electric quoting in code spans and blocks. Thanks to Philipp
715 Stephani for patches to both Emacs and Markdown Mode.
716 ([GH-220][])
717 - Stop inhibiting line breaks inside links when filling.
718 ([GH-173][])
720 * Bug fixes:
722 - Fix spurious bold/italic faces in inline code. ([GH-172][])
723 - Fix defun movement at end of buffer. ([GH-197][])
724 - Fix bug with adjacent bold font-locking in a list
725 item. ([GH-176][])
726 - Prevent matching italics, bold, and inline code in comments.
727 - Prevent matching italics and bold in URLs.
728 - Prevent matching links in inline code or comment spans.
729 - Avoid infinite loop when promoting or demoting last section in
730 a buffer.
731 - Fix font lock for subsequent inline links after a malformed
732 inline link. ([GH-209][])
733 - Prevent clobbering match data in
734 `markdown-font-lock-extend-region-function`. Thanks to
735 Philipp Stephani for a patch. ([GH-221][])
736 - Fix incorrect indentation of inserted GFM code blocks in lists.
737 Thanks to Philipp Stephani for a patch. ([GH-215][])
738 - Fix an issue with font lock for headings with code blocks immediately
739 afterwards, without whitespace. ([GH-234][])

766 # Markdown Mode 2.2
768 *May 26, 2017*
770 Version 2.2 is a major new stable release and all users are encouraged
771 to upgrade. Thanks to everyone who submitted bug reports, feature
772 suggestions, and especially patches.
774 * **Breaking changes:**
776 - Now use <kbd>C-c C-j</kbd> for inserting list items, like
777 AUCTeX and similar to other programming modes. Since <kbd>C-c
778 C-j</kbd> was used for `markdown-jump` (for moving between
779 reference link/footnote markers and their definitions), it has
780 been changed to <kbd>C-c C-l</kbd> (think "leap" or "loop"
781 instead of jump). It's also close to <kbd>C-c C-o</kbd> (used
782 for opening links). ([GH-26][])
783 - Insertion of `kbd` tags with <kbd>C-c C-s k</kbd> or
784 `markdown-insert-kbd`.
785 - Add YAML metadata parsing. Also allow multiple Pandoc
786 metadata, with tests. Thanks to Danny McClanahan and Syohei
787 Yoshida. ([GH-66][], [GH-91][], [GH-155][], [GH-156][],
788 [GH-157][])
789 - Change the behavior of <kbd>C-c C-o</kbd>
790 (`markdown-follow-link-at-point`) so that if a link is a
791 complete URL, it will open in a browser. Otherwise, open it
792 with `find-file` after stripping anchors and/or query strings.
793 ([GH-132][])
794 - Make font lock for missing wiki links optional and disabled by
795 default. Add new custom variable
796 `markdown-wiki-link-fontify-missing` to control this behavior.
797 - The _function_ `markdown-enable-math` has been made obsolete
798 and renamed to `markdown-toggle-math`. When called without an
799 argument, the result is to toggle this extension rather than
800 enable it.
802 * New features:
804 - Filling for definition list items. ([GH-13][])
805 - Added option `markdown-gfm-downcase-languages` to use
806 lowercase language name in GFM code blocks.
807 ([GH-71][], [GH-73][])
808 - Customizable live preview window split direction via
809 `markdown-split-window-direction`. ([GH-129][], [GH-188][])
810 - Variable-height headings via
811 `markdown-header-scaling`. ([GH-121][])
812 - Implement inline image previews via
813 `markdown-toggle-inline-images` and <kbd>C-c C-i C-t</kbd>.
814 Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-122][], [GH-128][])
815 - Added `markdown-wiki-link-search-subdirectories` to enable
816 searching for wiki link files in subdirectories. ([GH-174][])
817 - Added option to automatically continue lists when `RET` is
818 pressed. `markdown-indent-on-enter` now has three settings.
819 ([GH-179][])
820 - Match fenced code blocks with language and info strings.
821 ([GH-184][])
822 - Add smart Markdown block navigation commands <kbd>M-{</kbd>
823 and <kbd>M-}</kbd>. These replace the
824 regular-expression-based "paragraph" movement commands
825 provided by Emacs, which do not recognize Markdown syntax
826 (e.g., headings inside of code blocks). Also use
827 <kbd>M-h</kbd> for marking a block and <kbd>C-x n b</kbd> to
828 narrow to a block.
829 - Add `markdown-nested-imenu-heading-index` as a customizable
830 option. It may be disabled to instead generate a flat imenu
831 index.
832 - Basic font lock and filling for definition lists. As a side
833 effect, list item navigation and movement should also work.
834 - Add command for toggling GFM task list items via
835 <kbd>C-c C-c C-x</kbd> (`markdown-toggle-gfm-checkbox`).
836 - Ability to toggle wiki link support via a new custom variable
837 `markdown-enable-wiki-links`. This may be set in a file local
838 variable. Also added function `markdown-toggle-wiki-links`
839 and a menu item.
841 * Improvements:
843 - Menubar reorganization. Grouped related actions together,
844 added missing commands, and added several toggle options to
845 the menu. ([GH-147][])
846 - Use `toggle` menu style for macOS compatibility.
847 - Remove autoload for `.text` files. Thanks to Steve Purcell.
848 ([GH-118][])
849 - Set own `adaptive-fill-regexp` so that `fill-paragraph` works
850 for list items. Thanks to Syohei Yoshida for the patch.
851 ([GH-79][], [GH-80][])
852 - Suppress minibuffer output when generated HTML is small.
853 Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-83][], [GH-86][])
854 - Use GitHub fetcher for `markdown-mode` on MELPA. ([GH-84][])
855 - Improve fenced code block parsing. Thanks to Danny McClanahan.
856 ([GH-85][], [GH-95][])
857 - Markdown Mode is now automatically tested against Emacs
858 24.1-24.5 and 25.1-25.2. ([GH-99][])
859 - Make live-preview mode follow min or max point. Thanks to
860 Danny McClanahan. ([GH-102][])
861 - Improved font-lock performance. ([GH-119][])
862 - Maintain cursor position when indenting instead of moving to
863 the beginning of the line. Thanks to Isaac Hodes.
864 ([GH-125][])
865 - Add used language names to front of list of known languages.
866 ([GH-135][])
867 - Support basic TOML metadata. Thanks to Jorge Israel Peña.
868 ([GH-137][])
869 - Prohibit setext heading text from starting with hyphens,
870 spaces or tabs, so that there is no ambiguity between setext
871 headings and in-progress lists. ([GH-139][], [GH-143][])
872 - Ignore heading lines in `fill-paragraph`. Thanks to Syohei
873 Yoshida. ([GH-159][], [GH-162][])
874 - Improve matching of multiple math blocks with non-math text in
875 between. Thanks to Dave Kleinschmidt for a patch.
876 ([GH-168][])
877 - Prevent `fill-paragraph` from filling lines in code blocks.
878 ([GH-169][])
879 - Fix font lock for links with URLs containing parentheses.
880 ([GH-170][])
881 - `fill-paragraph` now respects paragraph boundaries within
882 blockquotes. ([GH-186][])
883 - Set mark when calling `markdown-up-heading`.
884 - Improved font locking after empty GFM code block insertion.
885 - Fix spurious italics from underscores in URLs.
886 - Respect `font-lock-mode` being nil. Only call
887 `font-lock-refresh-defaults` if `font-lock-mode` is non-nil to
888 prevent it from being turned on when disabled by user. Thanks
889 to Tom May for the patch.
890 - Fix list item insertion on ordered lists with hash marks
891 (Pandoc "fancy lists").
892 - Treat polymode blocks as code blocks when parsing the buffer.
893 - Require whitespace atx heading hashmarks, as required by the
894 original atx specification (but not enforced by Markdown.pl).
895 The benefit is that it prevents false positives for #hashtags
896 and things like "Engine #1" when lines wrap.
897 - Complete heading markup when point is on an setext heading and
898 `markdown-insert-header-dwim` is invoked
899 (<kbd>C-c C-t h</kbd>).
900 - Better point position after inserting asymmetric atx headings.
902 * Bug fixes:
904 - Fix `scripts/get-recognized-gfm-languages.el`, which skipped
905 languages with spaces. ([GH-72][], [GH-82][])
906 - `README.md` specified Arch (AUR) package (`emacs-goodies-el`),
907 which did not exist. ([GH-74][])
908 - Don't accidentally override user entries in `auto-mode-alist`.
909 ([GH-127][])
910 - Fix `markdown-cycle` issue with heading-like strings in code
911 blocks. Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-75][], [GH-76][])
912 - Fix moving same level heading over code block issue. Thanks
913 to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-77][], [GH-78][])
914 - Don't insert empty title strings for links. Thanks to
915 Sebastian Wiesner for the patch. ([GH-89][])
916 - Fix possible infinite loop in `markdown-cleanup-list-numbers`.
917 Thanks to Danny McClanahan. ([GH-98][], [GH-100][])
918 - Fix an args-out-of-range error due to the syntax-propertize
919 function returning point which is larger than `point-max`.
920 Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-142][])
921 - Respect narrowed region in `markdown-find-previous-prop`.
922 Thanks to Vitalie Spinu. ([GH-109][])
923 - Move point at least 1 char in
924 `markdown-match-propertized-text` to avoid possible infinite
925 loop in font-lock. Thanks to Vitalie Spinu. ([GH-110][])
926 - Fix issues where buffers could be marked as modified when no
927 modifications were made. ([GH-115][], [GH-116][], [GH-146][])
928 - Fix an issue where comments of the form `<!-- > comment -->`
929 were not correctly identified. ([GH-117][])
930 - Prevent spurious bold fontification. Thanks to Kévin Le
931 Gouguec. ([GH-124][])
932 - Keep metadata visible when cycling visibility. ([GH-136][])
933 - `markdown-syntax-propertize-extend-region` should not
934 overwrite match-data, which caused issues with
935 `replace-regexp`, etc. ([GH-104][], [GH-105][])
936 - Don't list heading-like lines in code blocks or metadata in
937 imenu. Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-145][], [GH-154][])
938 - Fix an issue where fill paragraph wouldn't work following
939 unclosed left square brackets. ([GH-148][], [GH-161][])
940 - Fix default language presented when inserting GFM code blocks.
941 Thanks to Conal Elliot for a patch. ([GH-152][])
942 - Backspace now always deletes characters if a region is
943 specified. Thanks to Syohei Yoshida.
944 ([GH-166][], [GH-167][])
945 - Fix `markdown-header-face` inherit from nil error, e.g., when
946 exporting HTML from an Org mode file containing a Markdown
947 source block. Thanks to Moogen Tian for a patch.
948 ([GH-190][], [GH-193][])
949 - Inserting a reference link no longer causes an "args out of
950 range" commit error when the existing reference label is a
951 single commit character.
952 - Fix to honor location setting when inserting reference
953 definitions.
954 - Fixed an issue where, if there is special markup at the end of
955 the buffer, deleting a character backward would cause the
956 font-lock faces to disappear.
957 - Fix incorrect matching of italic text due to underscores in
958 math mode. Thanks also to Dave Kleinschmidt.
959 - Fix italic highlighting issue when each line or both lines are list.
960 - Handle false positive italics across list items.

1035 # Markdown Mode 2.1
1037 *January 9, 2016*
1039 Version 2.1 is a major new stable release and all users are encouraged
1040 to upgrade. The many new features and bug fixes included are
1041 described below.
1043 Markdown Mode is developed and tested primarily for compatibility with
1044 GNU Emacs versions 24.3 and later. It requires `cl-lib` version 0.5
1045 or later. This library has been bundled with GNU Emacs since version
1046 24.3. Users of GNU Emacs 24.1 and 24.2 can install `cl-lib` using
1047 `M-x package-install RET cl-lib`.
1049 This release of Markdown Mode contains patches written by many
1050 individuals including Masayuki Ataka, Jonas Bernoulli, Roger Bolsius,
1051 Daniel Brotsky, Julien Danjou, Samuel Freilich, David Glasser, Marijn
1052 Haverbeke, Antonis Kanouras, Keshav Kini, Vasily Korytov, Danny
1053 McClanahan, Matt McClure, Howard Melman, Makoto Motohashi, Jon
1054 Mountjoy, Pierre Neidhardt, Spanti Nicola, Paul W. Rankin, Christophe
1055 Rhodes, Tim Visher, and Syohei Yoshida. Many others also submitted
1056 bug reports. Thanks to everyone for your contributions.
1058 * **Breaking changes:**
1060 - In GFM Mode, `visual-line-mode` is no longer enabled by
1061 default. A `gfm-mode-hook` was added, which could be used to
1062 keep `visual-line-mode` on by default in `gfm-mode`.
1063 ([GH-31][])
1065 * New features:
1067 - Add automatically updating live preview functionality
1068 (<kbd>C-c C-c l</kbd>) via the native `eww` browser.
1069 ([GH-36][], [GH-53][], [GH-57][], [GH-58][], [GH-63][])
1070 - Use `autoload` to enable `markdown-mode` in `auto-mode-alist`
1071 for files with `.text`, `.markdown`, and `.md` extensions.
1072 - Use Travis CI for automated build testing.
1073 - ATX heading subtree promotion and demotion via
1074 <kbd>M-S-LEFT</kbd>, and <kbd>M-S-RIGHT</kbd>.
1075 - ATX heading subtree moving up and down via <kbd>M-S-UP</kbd>
1076 and <kbd>M-S-DOWN</kbd>.
1077 - Convert inline links to reference links when
1078 `markdown-insert-reference-link-dwim` is used when the point
1079 is at an inline link.
1080 - Allow linking to multiple stylesheets in `markdown-css-paths`
1081 list. Use stylesheets for both preview and export. Previous
1082 `markdown-css-path` (singular) is now deprecated.
1083 - Customizable default unordered list marker via
1084 `markdown-unordered-list-item-prefix`.
1085 - Add asymmetric ATX heading adornment option
1086 `markdown-asymmetric-header`.
1087 - Font lock for `<kbd>` tags.
1088 - Support GFM-style code blocks in `markdown-mode` (as well as
1089 `gfm-mode`). ([GH-2][])
1090 - New function `markdown-electric-backquote` will prompt for a
1091 language name for GFM code blocks. This can be disabled by
1092 customizing the variable
1093 `markdown-gfm-use-electric-backquote`. ([GH-9][])
1094 - Completion of programming language names for GFM code blocks.
1095 A list of pre-defined languages is included, but this can be
1096 augmented by setting `markdown-gfm-additional-languages`.
1097 ([GH-38][], [GH-54][], [GH-59][], [GH-60][], [GH-64][])
1098 - Strikethrough support in `gfm-mode`.
1099 - Support for GFM toggling checkboxes `mouse-1` or
1100 <kbd>RET</kbd>. This is controlled by a new custom variable,
1101 `markdown-make-gfm-checkboxes-buttons`. Thanks to Howard
1102 Melman for a patch. ([GH-7][])
1103 - Font lock and filling for Pandoc "fancy lists," which use `#`
1104 as the list marker. ([GH-3][])
1105 - Basic support for filling of definition lists. ([GH-20][])
1106 - Support [Ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.info/)-style search for wiki links that allows
1107 links relative to parent directories. Enable this by setting
1108 `markdown-wiki-link-search-parent-directories`.
1109 ([GH-8][], [GH-21][])
1111 * Improvements:
1113 - General font lock improvements for comments, code blocks,
1114 blockquotes, headings, horizontal rules, bold, and italics.
1115 ([GH-67][], [GH-68][])
1116 - Separate highlighting for Markdown markup characters
1117 (asterisks, underscores, backquotes, etc.) to aid in
1118 readability.
1119 - Font lock for bold, italics, and LaTeX math work inside block
1120 elements such as headings and blockquotes. ([GH-39][])
1121 - Display a link to the GitHub repository in the MELPA
1122 description. ([GH-37][])
1124 * Bug fixes:
1126 - Fix bug in `markdown-complete-region/buffer` where level-two
1127 Setext headings could be confused with horizontal rules.
1128 Includes a unit test. Thanks to Gunnar Franke for the report.
1129 - Fix filling when a decimal number appears at column zero,

1225 # Markdown Mode 2.0
1227 *March 24, 2013*
1229 Version 2.0 is a major new stable release with many new features,
1230 including some changes to keybindings for element insertion and
1231 outline navigation. In summary, Markdown Mode now has improved
1232 keybindings, smarter markup insertion commands, a general markup
1233 removal command, markup completion (normalization), markup promotion
1234 and demotion, list and region editing, many syntax highlighting
1235 improvements, new and improved movement commands, and generalized link
1236 following and movement.
1238 * **Breaking changes:**
1240 - Physical style element insertion commands prefixed by
1241 <kbd>C-c C-p</kbd> have been removed in favor of their
1242 logical style counterparts prefixed by <kbd>C-c C-s</kbd>.
1243 - Shift is now the preferred way to distinguish keybindings for
1244 two related elements. For example, you can insert an inline
1245 link with <kbd>C-c C-a l</kbd> or a reference link with
1246 <kbd>C-c C-a L</kbd>. The latter keybinding is new and
1247 preferred over <kbd>C-c C-a r</kbd>, which is deprecated.
1248 - Footnote keybindings have been moved away from the
1249 <kbd>C-c C-f n</kbd> prefix.
1250 - Several other new keybindings have been introduced and are
1251 described in more detail below.
1252 - Removed wiki link following with `RET` and
1253 `markdown-follow-wiki-link-on-enter` setting. Use the
1254 unified following (open link) command <kbd>C-c C-o</kbd>
1255 instead.
1257 * New features:
1259 - Fast heading insertion with a single command which
1260 automatically calculates the type (atx or setext) and level.
1261 Prefix with <kbd>C-u</kbd> to promote the heading by one
1262 level or <kbd>C-u C-u</kbd> to demote the heading by one
1263 level. Headings with a specific level or type can still be
1264 inserted quickly with specific keybindings.
1265 - Easily kill an element (e.g., a link or reference definition)
1266 at the point with <kbd>C-c C-k</kbd> and store the most
1267 important part in the kill ring (e.g., the link text or URL).
1268 - Markup completion (<kbd>C-c C-]</kbd>) normalizes the markup
1269 for an element (e.g., it balances hash marks and removing
1270 extra whitespace for atx headings).
1271 - Markup promotion and demotion via <kbd>C-c C--</kbd> and
1272 <kbd>C-c C-=</kbd>, respectively. The sequences
1273 <kbd>M-UP</kbd> and <kbd>M-DOWN</kbd> may
1274 also be used.
1275 - List editing: move list items up and down with
1276 <kbd>M-UP</kbd> and <kbd>M-DOWN</kbd>.
1277 Indent and exdent list items with <kbd>M-LEFT</kbd>
1278 and <kbd>M-RIGHT</kbd>.
1279 - Region editing: indent and exdent regions, with tab stops
1280 determined by context, using <kbd>C-c <</kbd> and
1281 <kbd>C-c ></kbd> (as in `python-mode`).
1282 - Smart list item insertion with <kbd>M-RET</kbd>, with
1283 indentation and marker determined by the surrounding context.
1284 Prefix with <kbd>C-u</kbd> to decrease the indentation by one
1285 level or <kbd>C-u C-u</kbd> to increase the indentation one
1286 level.
1287 - Quickly jump between reference definitions and
1288 reference-style links and between footnote markers and
1289 footnote text with <kbd>C-c C-j</kbd>. Create undefined
1290 references when jumping from a reference link. When jumping
1291 back, present a buffer with buttons for selecting which link
1292 to jump to.
1293 - Revised outline navigation commands, following `org-mode`.
1294 This frees up the sexp navigation keys <kbd>C-M-f</kbd> and
1295 <kbd>C-M-b</kbd> which can be useful in Markdown documents
1296 which have many matching delimiters, as well as the defun
1297 navigation keys <kbd>C-M-a</kbd> and <kbd>C-M-e</kbd>.
1298 - Previous/next section movement with <kbd>C-M-a</kbd> and
1299 <kbd>C-M-e</kbd> (in Emacs parlance, this is movement by
1300 defun). Mark the current section with <kbd>C-M-h</kbd>.
1301 - Previous/next paragraph movement via <kbd>M-{</kbd> and
1302 <kbd>M-}</kbd>.
1303 - Previous/next block movement with <kbd>C-u M-{</kbd> and
1304 <kbd>C-u M-}</kbd>.
1305 - Customizable reference link location via
1306 `markdown-reference-location`.
1307 - Font lock for title strings in inline links.
1308 - Subtle syntax highlighting for hard line breaks.
1309 - In GFM Mode, change italic font lock behavior to match GFM
1310 specification regarding underscores in words.
1311 - Insertion command (<kbd>C-c C-s P</kbd>) for GFM quoted code
1312 blocks.
1313 - Syntax highlighting for MultiMarkdown metadata and Pandoc
1314 title blocks.
1315 - Added before and after export hooks
1316 `markdown-before-export-hook` and
1317 `markdown-after-export-hook`.
1318 - Added a library of regression tests which currently contains
1319 160 unit tests.
1321 * Improvements:
1323 - ATX heading insertion will use current line as heading text
1324 if not blank and there is no active region.
1325 - Setext heading insertion will prompt for heading title when
1326 there is no active region.
1327 - When the point is at a heading, the heading insertion
1328 commands will replace the heading at point with a heading of
1329 the requested level and type.
1330 - When there is no active region, the bold, italic, code, link,
1331 and image insertion commands will operate on the word at
1332 point, if any, so that you don't have to have an active
1333 selection for simple modifications.
1334 - Repeating the bold, italic, or code insertion commands when
1335 the point is at an element of the corresponding type will
1336 remove the markup.
1337 - Indentation of preformatted text and blockquotes will be
1338 adjusted automatically in contexts where more indentation is
1339 required, as in nested lists. (For example, in Markdown, a
1340 preformatted text block inside a first-level list item must
1341 have eight spaces of indentation.)
1342 - Improved reference link insertion with label completion:
1343 + Use word at point as link text, if possible, when there
1344 is no active region.
1345 + Tab completion of reference labels from the set of
1346 currently defined references.
1347 + Reference link insertion no longer prompts for a URL or
1348 title if the label is already defined.
1349 + If no URL is given, create an empty reference definition
1350 and move the point there.
1351 - Basic reference-style image markup insertion.
1352 - Multiple horizontal rule styles, `markdown-hr-strings`,
1353 customizable as a list of strings, which can be cycled
1354 through.
1355 - New URL insertion command for inserting plain URLs delimited
1356 by angle brackets (<kbd>C-c C-a u</kbd>). Works on URL at
1357 point, if any, when there is no active region.
1358 - Generally improved insertion commands with respect to
1359 insertion of surrounding whitespace and point position after
1360 insertion (e.g., ensuring blank lines before and after newly
1361 inserted headings and horizontal rules).
1362 - Unified link following: open links in a browser and wiki
1363 links in a new buffer with the same keybinding (<kbd>C-c
1364 C-o</kbd>). This supersedes the separate wiki link following
1365 command (<kbd>C-c C-w</kbd>).
1366 - Generalized link movement and following: move between and
1367 open all link types (inline, reference, wiki, angle URIs)
1368 using the same key bindings (<kbd>M-n</kbd> and
1369 <kbd>M-p</kbd>). Previously, these commands only moved
1370 between wiki links, but with the above following enhancement,
1371 moving between hyperlinks of all types is more useful.
1372 - Syntax highlighting for GFM quoted code blocks with an
1373 optional language keyword.
1374 - Dynamic loading and unloading for math support with
1375 refontification.
1376 - Allow underscores and colons in equation labels in math mode.
1377 - Syntax highlighting improvements: faster identification of
1378 preformatted blocks. Markdown Mode adheres to the four space
1379 rule for nested list items: in a list item of level _n_,
1380 preformatted text must be indented at least 4(_n_ + 1)
1381 spaces.
1382 - More inclusive blockquote regular expression highlights
1383 blockquotes with leading indentation, when appropriate.
1384 - Regular expression optimization for URI matching.
1385 - Numerous other improvements for more accurate syntax
1386 highlighting.
1387 - Respect hard line breaks when filling paragraphs.
1388 - Add indentation positions: preceding list markers and pre
1389 block position.
1390 - Use button-map for navigating undefined references, so that
1391 references can be navigated via the keyboard by pressing
1392 <kbd>TAB</kbd> and <kbd>S-TAB</kbd>.
1393 - Use newer `use-region-p` when possible to check for active
1394 region, with fallbacks for older Emacsen and Xemacs.
1395 - Clean up whitespace after deleting footnote text.
1396 - Use adaptive filling for list items and blockquotes.
1397 - Treat all list items (any marker type) the same way with respect
1398 to filling.
1399 - Retain the `>` prefix when filling blockquotes.
1400 - Fill list items inside of blockquotes.
1401 - Numerous other internal improvements to make the code base
1402 more robust.
1404 * Bug fixes:
1406 - Fix bug in heading visibility cycling introduced in version
1407 1.9 where the level of headings was being calculated
1408 incorrectly.
1409 - Fix problems inserting ATX headings at end of buffer.
1410 - Support small Setext headings (with fewer than three
1411 characters).
1412 - Several improvements to inline code syntax highlighting.
1413 - Fix some edge cases regarding escaping, spaces, etc. for bold
1414 and italic font lock.
1415 - Prohibit newlines and tabs immediately after opening bold and
1416 italic delimiters. This fixes a bug where italics would not
1417 be highlighted following a horizontal rule
1418 - Improved multi-line font lock performance for large files.
1419 - Improved multi-line font lock at beginning of buffer.
1420 - List items with any of the three markers are filled in the
1421 same way (previously list items starting with `+` were not
1422 filled with hanging indentation).
1423 - Fix end detection for empty list items. Don't skip over the
1424 whitespace following the marker on the same line.
1425 Previously, empty list items were not being detected properly
1426 by `markdown-cur-list-item-bounds` as a result of this.
1427 - Don't exclude `[^]`, which is a valid reference tag (but
1428 let's please stick to alphanumeric characters).
1429 - No longer highlight escaped wiki links.
1430 - Fix line number buttons for reference checking and make all
1431 buttons clickable.
1432 - Fix killing of footnotes with no text.
1433 - Fix escaping in `markdown-xhtml-standalone-regexp`.
1434 - Fix a font-lock edge case involving footnote markers
1435 preceding inline links.
1436 - More accurate font-lock for ATX headings in edge cases.
1437 - Fix killing of footnotes from footnote text.

1531 # Markdown Mode 1.8.1
1533 *August 15, 2011*
1535 Version 1.8.1 is a bugfix version which addresses some minor issues in
1536 version 1.8.
1538 * New features:
1540 - Wiki link features now support aliased or piped wiki links of
1541 the form `[[PageName|link text]]`.
1543 * Bug fixes:
1545 - Fixed an issue, reported by Werner Dittmann, where the
1546 default indentation position would be skipped over when
1547 `auto-fill-mode` was on. This meant that when writing a
1548 normal paragraph, for example, the line would wrap to column
1549 4 instead of column 1.
1550 - Require the `cl` package for `multiple-value-bind`. Thanks
1551 to Werner Dittman for noticing this.
1552 - Remove a leftover debug print message which would announce
1553 "ENTER" in the minibuffer when the enter key was pressed.
1555 # Markdown Mode 1.8
1557 *August 12, 2011*
1559 * New features:
1561 - Add support for following wiki links in a buffer, either with
1562 <kbd>C-c C-f</kbd> or, optionally, <kbd>RET</kbd>, when the
1563 point is at a wiki link.
1564 - Support Markdown processors which do not accept input from
1565 stdin (i.e, Python-Markdown) by adding the
1566 `markdown-command-needs-filename` custom option. Thanks to
1567 Jeremiah Dodds for a patch.
1568 - GitHub-Flavored Markdown mode (`gfm-mode`) turns on
1569 `longlines-mode` and `auto-fill-mode`. Thanks to Edward
1570 O'Connor for the patch.
1571 - Add outline-mode-like keybindings for fast outline navigation
1572 of atx-style headers (see the updated documentation for
1573 details).
1574 - Arbitrary content may to be added to the `<head>` block during
1575 HTML output to allow for flexible local customizations. See
1576 `markdown-xhtml-header-content`.
1577 - New HTML export options: export to a file with
1578 <kbd>C-c C-c e</kbd> or export to a file and view with
1579 <kbd>C-c C-c v</kbd>.
1580 - Support Markdown processors which produce standalone output
1581 (i.e., complete HTML documents). If this is detected, by
1582 matching `markdown-xhtml-standalone-regexp` in the first five
1583 lines of output, then omit the `markdown-mode` header and
1584 footer. Thanks to Philippe Ivaldi for this and the previous
1585 HTML-output-related patches.
1586 - Customizable wiki link following behavior using
1587 `markdown-follow-wiki-link-on-enter`.
1588 - Quick navigation to the previous and next wiki links using
1589 <kbd>M-p</kbd> and <kbd>M-n</kbd>.
1590 - Wiki links to non-existent files (missing links) are
1591 highlighted differently. Based on functionality from
1592 `wiki-mode` by Alex Schroeder. Thanks to Eric Merritt for
1593 patches.
1595 * Improvements:
1597 - Improve syntax highlighting of preformatted text blocks to
1598 better distinguish them from list items with hanging
1599 indentation and nested list items.
1600 - Match italic and bold text and inline code fragments across
1601 line breaks, within a single block, but prevent them from
1602 matching across blocks.
1603 - Generally improve multi-line font lock by extending the search
1604 region to include full blocks.
1605 - Make indentation work when the previous line is not indented.
1606 - Set tab width to 4, the natural tab width for Markdown
1607 documents.

1612 - Make sure horizontal rules inserted by <kbd>C-c -</kbd>
1613 (`markdown-insert-hr`) are surrounded by blank lines.
1614 - Added an `autoload` cookie. Thanks to Peter S. Galbraith for
1615 the patch.
1616 - Support a customizable horizontal rule string
1617 `markdown-hr-string`. This replaces the previous but less
1618 flexible custom option `markdown-hr-length`, which has been
1619 removed.
1620 - Followed wiki links are opened using `markdown-mode`.
1622 * Bug fixes:
1624 - Fixed an issue, reported by Joost Kremners, where for
1625 multi-line lists, the position of the list marker was not
1626 being added to the list of possible indentation levels.
1627 - Avoid a problem where indentation positions were getting
1628 skipped over when tab cycling.
1629 - Fixed an issue when column 0 is the natural automatic
1630 indentation stop.
1631 - Prevent infinite loops in blockquote (<kbd>C-c C-s b</kbd>)
1632 and preformatted (<kbd>C-c C-s p</kbd>) block insertion while
1633 at the beginning or end of the buffer.

1721 - Don't use the kill ring to store wrapped text.
1723 # Markdown Mode 1.5
1725 *October 11, 2007*
1727 Version 1.5 is a major revision compared to previous releases. The
1728 functionality has not changed very much, all of the keybindings are
1729 the same, but it is internally quite different.
1731 Most of the changes involve syntax highlighting. The regular
1732 expressions have been significantly improved and the corresponding
1733 font lock faces have been tweaked (hopefully for the better, but feel
1734 free to customize them). Various other small bugs have been fixed and
1735 the documentation and website have been updated.
1737 The two changes in functionality, both of which are optional, are
1738 syntax highlighting for embedded mathematics via LaTeX-like
1739 expressions, and highlighting for bracketed wiki links.
