75 # Markdown Mode 2.4
77 *May 30, 2020*
79 * **Breaking changes:**
81 - GNU Emacs 25.1 or later is required. And xemacs support has been dropped
82 - Face variables, such as `markdown-italic-face` are now
83 obsolete. Use face names directly in code and customizations.
84 The face names themselves are unaffected, so this shouldn't
85 affect most users.
86 - Delete obsoleted aliases
87 - Internal variables `markdown-font-lock-keywords-basic` and
88 `gfm-font-lock-keywords` are now obsolete.
89 `markdown-font-lock-keywords` is now used instead, but users
90 should use `font-lock-add-keywords` instead of modifying this
91 variable.
92 - `markdown-mode` now adds entries to the beginning of
93 `auto-mode-alist` rather than the end. If you were relying on
94 the previous behavior in order to override these entries, you
95 should fix the problem by following best practice and ensuring
96 that your user configuration is loaded after the autoloads for
97 `markdown-mode` are evaluated. ([GH-331][], [GH-335][])
98 - Point at the end of fenced code blocks is no-longer considered
99 part of the code block ([GH-#349][]).

110 - Added pipe table editing features. Thanks to Dmitry Safronov
111 for a patch. ([GH-171][], [GH-266][])
112 - Font lock for HTML tags and attributes, with new faces
113 `markdown-html-tag-name-face`,
114 `markdown-html-tag-delimiter-face`,
115 `markdown-html-attr-name-face`, and
116 `markdown-html-attr-value-face`. ([GH-249][])
117 - Font lock for HTML entities, with a new face
118 `markdown-html-entity-face`.
119 - Scale down large inline images using `markdown-max-image-size`,
120 a cons cell of the form `(max-width . max-height)`.
121 - Added read-only viewing modes `markdown-view-mode` and
122 `gfm-view-mode` with keymaps similar to `view-mode` and
123 `help-mode`. ([GH-296][])
124 - Optionally add footnote definitions to the end of the imenu
125 index using `markdown-add-footnotes-to-imenu`. ([GH-235][])
126 - Add custom variables `markdown-xhtml-body-preamble` and
127 `markdown-xhtml-body-epilogue` for wrapping additional XHTML
128 tags around the output. ([GH-280][], [GH-281][])
129 - Add `markdown-unused-refs` command to list and clean up unused
130 references (available via `C-c C-c u`). ([GH-322][])
131 - Add `markdown-insert-table` (`C-c C-s t`) for interactive
132 table insertion. ([GH-369][])
133 - Add `markdown-kill-outline` and `markdown-kill-block`
134 functions.
135 - Added `markdown-display-remote-images` for viewing remote
136 images. Thanks to Sean Allread for the patch. ([GH-378][])
137 - `markdown-back-to-heading` can be used as command ([GH-415][])
139 * Improvements:
141 - Insert references before local variables. Thanks to Philipp
142 Stephani for a patch. ([GH-216][], [GH-262][])
143 - Allow `markdown-command` and `markdown-open-command` to be
144 functions. ([GH-255][], [GH-263][])

156 ([GH-251][], [GH-303][])
157 - Insert-and-indirect-edit GFM code blocks simultaneously by
158 giving a prefix argument to `C-c C-s C`. ([GH-251][])
159 - Improve package load time by deferring calls to
160 `char-displayable-p`. ([GH-264][])
161 - Only raise footnotes when markup hiding is on.
162 Footnote display properties may now be customized via
163 `markdown-footnote-display`. ([GH-247][])
164 - Customizable subscript and superscript display properties

166 - Several font-lock performance improvements.

330 # Markdown Mode 2.3
332 *August 31, 2017*
334 * **Breaking changes:**
336 - `markdown-mode` now requires Emacs 24.3 or later.
337 - Markup insertion and replacement keybindings under <kbd>C-c
338 C-s</kbd> (_s_ for style) have been revised to make them
339 easier to remember. Now, when the prefix <kbd>C-c C-s</kbd>
340 is pressed, a short minibuffer help prompt is presented as a
341 reminder of a few of the most frequently used keys. The major
342 changes are that bold is now inserted with <kbd>b</kbd>
343 (previously <kbd>s</kbd>) and italic is now <kbd>i</kbd>
344 (previously <kbd>e</kbd>). As a result, blockquote is now
345 <kbd>q</kbd> (previously <kbd>b</kbd>) and strikethrough
346 markup is inserted with <kbd>s</kbd> (previously
347 <kbd>d</kbd>). Press <kbd>C-c C-s C-h</kbd> for a complete
348 list of markup insertion keybindings. Heading insertion
349 commands are also now under <kbd>C-c C-s</kbd>.
350 - Link insertion and editing has been consolidated into one
351 command, `markdown-insert-link`, bound to <kbd>C-c C-l</kbd>.
352 As such, the previous separate link insertion keybindings have
353 been removed: <kbd>C-c C-a l</kbd>, <kbd>C-c C-a L</kbd>,
354 <kbd>C-c C-a r</kbd>, and <kbd>C-c C-a u</kbd>.
355 - Image insertion and editing has been consolidated into one
356 command, `markdown-insert-image`, bound to <kbd>C-c C-i</kbd>.
357 As such, the previous separate image insertion keybindings have
358 been removed: <kbd>C-c C-i i</kbd> and <kbd>C-c C-i I</kbd>.
359 - Footnote and wiki link insertion have been moved to the
360 markup insertion prefix, as <kbd>C-c C-s f</kbd> and
361 <kbd>C-c C-s w</kbd>.
362 - The list and outline editing commands have been removed from
363 the top-level positions (previously <kbd>M-LEFT</kbd>,
364 <kbd>M-RIGHT</kbd>, <kbd>M-UP</kbd>, <kbd>M-DOWN</kbd>)
365 and moved to major mode keybindings under <kbd>C-c</kbd> to
366 <kbd>C-c LEFT</kbd>, <kbd>C-c RIGHT</kbd>,
367 <kbd>C-c UP</kbd>, and <kbd>C-c DOWN</kbd>, respectively.
368 ([GH-164][])
369 - The list and outline editing commands have also been unified
370 so that they all operate on entire subtrees of list items and
371 subtrees of atx headings, symmetrically. Previously there were
372 separate commands for editing heading subtrees, but promoting
373 a single section is easy enough by directly inserting or
374 removing a hash mark or using the markup replacement commands.
375 - Jumping between references and reference definitions via
376 `markdown-jump`, previously bound to <kbd>C-c C-l</kbd>, has
377 been moved to <kbd>C-c C-d</kbd> and rebranded as
378 `markdown-do`, which attempts to do something sensible with
379 the object at the point.
380 - Rename internal `markdown-link-link` to `markdown-link-url`
381 for clarity.
382 - The old inline image toggling command <kbd>C-c C-i C-t</kbd>
383 has been removed and replaced <kbd>C-c C-x C-i</kbd> in order
384 to allow for the new interactive image insertion command at
385 <kbd>C-c C-i</kbd>. Toggling keybindings are currently being
386 grouped under <kbd>C-c C-x</kbd>.
387 - `markdown-blockquote-face` is now applied to the entire
388 blockquote, including the leading `>`, so it can be used to
389 apply a background if desired.
390 - In `markdown-regex-header`, groups 4 and 6 now include
391 whitespace surrounding hash marks in atx headings.
392 - Font lock for `~~strikethrough~~` is now supported in
393 `markdown-mode` in addition to `gfm-mode`.
394 - Introduced a new face for horizontal rules: `markdown-hr-face`.
395 Previously, `markdown-header-delimiter-face` was used.
396 - Markdown Mode is now distributed under the GNU GPL version 3
397 or later.
398 - Rename `markdown-fill-forward-paragraph-function` to
399 `markdown-fill-forward-paragraph`.
400 - Rename `markdown-footnote-face` to `markdown-footnote-marker-face`.
401 - Functions `markdown-insert-inline-link-dwim` and
402 `markdown-insert-reference-link-dwim` have been combined and
403 replaced with `markdown-insert-link`.
404 - Functions `markdown-exdent-region` and `markdown-exdent-or-delete`
405 are now named `markdown-outdent-region` and
406 `markdown-outdent-or-delete`, respectively.
407 - The non-interactive image insertion commands have been
408 refactored to mirror the corresponding link insertion
409 commands. `markdown-insert-image` (for inline images) has
410 been renamed `markdown-insert-inline-image` and it now takes
411 three arguments (previously one optional argument).
412 `markdown-insert-reference-image` now takes four arguments
413 (previously none).
415 * New features:
417 - Markup hiding: Add a custom variable `markdown-hide-markup`,
418 which determines whether to hide or otherwise beautify
419 Markdown markup. For example, for inline links the brackets,
420 URL, and title will be hidden and only the (clickable) link
421 text will remain. The URL can be seen by hovering with the
422 mouse pointer and edited by deleting one of the invisible
423 brackets or parentheses. This can be toggled interactively
424 using <kbd>C-c C-x C-m</kbd> (`markdown-toggle-markup-hiding`).
425 This setting supersedes URL hiding (below). ([GH-130][])
426 - Unicode bullets are used to replace ASCII list item markers
427 for unordered lists when markup hiding is enabled. The list
428 of characters used, in order of list level, can be specified
429 by setting the variable `markdown-list-item-bullets`.
430 ([GH-130][])
431 - When markup hiding is enabled, the characters used for
432 replacing certain markup can be changed by customizing the
433 corresponding variables:
434 `markdown-blockquote-display-char`,
435 `markdown-hr-display-char`, and
436 `markdown-definition-display-char`.
437 - URL and reference label hiding: URLs for inline links and
438 labels for reference links can now be hidden if desired. This is
439 configurable via `markdown-hide-urls`. URLs will appear as
440 `[link](∞)` instead of
441 `[link](http://perhaps.a/very/long/url/)`. To change the
442 placeholder character used, set `markdown-url-compose-char`.
443 This feature can be toggled using <kbd>C-c C-x C-l</kbd>
444 (`markdown-toggle-url-hiding`). If full markup hiding (above)
445 is enabled, then URL hiding has no additional effect.
446 - Native code block font-lock: Add a custom variable
447 `markdown-fontify-code-blocks-natively`, which determines
448 whether to fontify code in code blocks using the native major
449 mode. This only works for fenced code blocks where the
450 language is specified where we can automatically determine the
451 appropriate mode to use. The language to mode mapping may be
452 customized by setting the variable `markdown-code-lang-modes`.
453 ([GH-123][], [GH-185][])
454 - When the [`edit-indirect`](https://github.com/Fanael/edit-indirect/)
455 package is installed, <kbd>C-c '</kbd> (`markdown-edit-code-block`)
456 can be used to edit a code block in an indirect buffer in the native
457 major mode. Press <kbd>C-c C-c</kbd> to commit changes and return
458 or <kbd>C-c C-k</kbd> to cancel.
459 - Add command <kbd>C-c C-x C-f</kbd> for toggling native font lock
460 for code blocks (`markdown-toggle-fontify-code-blocks-natively`).
461 - Add "page" movement, marking, and narrowing commands, where a
462 "page" in Markdown is defined to be a top-level subtree:
463 `markdown-forward-page` (<kbd>C-x ]</kbd>),
464 `markdown-backward-page` (<kbd>C-x [</kbd>),
465 `markdown-mark-page` (<kbd>C-x C-p</kbd>), and
466 `markdown-narrow-to-page` (<kbd>C-x n p</kbd>). ([GH-191][])
467 - Add subtree marking and narrowing functions:
468 `markdown-mark-subtree` (<kbd>C-c C-M-h</kbd>) and
469 `markdown-narrow-to-subtree` (<kbd>C-x n s</kbd>).
470 ([GH-191][])
471 - Add syntax-aware Markdown paragraph movement commands:
472 <kbd>M-{</kbd> (`markdown-backward-paragraph`) and
473 <kbd>M-}</kbd> (`markdown-forward-paragraph`). To mark a
474 paragraph, use <kbd>M-h</kbd> (`markdown-mark-paragraph`).
475 These move at a more granular level than the block movement
476 commands. ([GH-191][])
477 - The previous block movement and marking commands are now at
478 <kbd>C-M-{</kbd>, <kbd>C-M-}</kbd>, and <kbd>C-c M-h</kbd>.
479 In terms of lists, paragraph movement commands now stop at
480 each list item while block commands move over entire lists.
481 ([GH-191][])
482 - Add `subtree` as a possible value for
483 `markdown-reference-location` and
484 `markdown-footnote-location`.
485 - Ask flyspell to ignore words in URLs, code fragments,
486 comments, and reference labels.
487 - Make inline links, reference links, angle bracket URLs, and
488 plain URLs clickable.
489 - Add an additional keybinding for toggling inline image
490 display, <kbd>C-c C-x C-i</kbd>.
491 - Add a keybinding for toggling LaTeX math (_e_quation) support:
492 <kbd>C-c C-x C-e</kbd>.
493 - Support Leanpub blocks (asides, info blocks, warnings, etc.).
494 These are simple extensions of the usual blockquote syntax.
495 - Font lock, with markup hiding, for subscripts (e.g., `H~2~0`)
496 and superscripts (e.g., `334^10^`). Thanks to Syohei Yoshida
497 for a patch on which this is based. ([GH-134][])
498 - Add basic font-lock support for inline attribute lists or
499 inline identifiers used by Pandoc, Python Markdown, PHP
500 Markdown Extra, Leanpub, etc.
501 - Add basic font-lock support for Leanpub section identifiers and
502 page breaks.
503 - Add basic font-lock support for common file inclusion syntax:
504 `<<(file)`, `<<[title](file)`, `<<[file]`, and `<<{file}`.
505 - Add font lock support for Pandoc inline footnotes. ([GH-81][])
506 - Raise footnote markers and inline footnote text, and
507 optionally hide markup.
508 - Filling with now respects Pandoc line blocks. ([GH-144][])
509 - Add interactive link editing and insertion command
510 `markdown-insert-link`. ([GH-199][])
511 - Added <kbd>C-c C-d</kbd>, `markdown-do`, which is a
512 replacement for <kbd>C-c C-l</kbd>, `markdown-jump`. In
513 addition to jumping between reference/footnote labels and
514 definitions, it also toggles GFM checkboxes.
515 - Outline movement keys <kbd>C-c C-p</kbd>, <kbd>C-c C-n</kbd>,
516 <kbd>C-c C-f</kbd>, <kbd>C-c C-b</kbd>, and <kbd>C-c C-u</kbd>
517 now move between list items, when the point is in a list,
518 and move between headings otherwise.
519 - New customization option `markdown-spaces-after-code-fence` to
520 control the number of spaces inserted after a code fence (` ``` `).
521 Thanks to Philipp Stephani for a patch. ([GH-232][])
522 - New customization option `markdown-gfm-uppercase-checkbox` which,
523 when non-nil, uses `[X]` to complete task list items instead of
524 `[x]`. Thanks to Paul Rankin for a patch. ([GH-236][])
525 - Add prefix-specific prompts for styles (`C-c C-s`) and toggles
526 (`C-c C-x`). These may be disabled if desired by setting
527 `markdown-enable-prefix-prompts` to `nil`.
529 * Improvements:
531 - Document customizable variables added in version 2.2 with
532 `:package-version` tags.
533 - Better consistency of function names: predicate functions
534 ending in `-p` shouldn't modify match data.
535 - Generalize rebinding of paragraph movement commands in case users
536 have customized `{forward,backward,mark}-paragraph` bindings.
537 - Adjust point so that it is left at beginning of setext
538 headings in heading navigation commands.
539 - Prevent inline link matching in code blocks.
540 - When inserting a new reference definition, don't add blank
541 line after existing reference definitions.
542 - `markdown-toggle-inline-images` now displays the status in the
543 minibuffer.
544 - Increased default heading scaling range slightly, to make
545 level differences more pronounced when markup is hidden.
546 - Reuse existing windows, when possible, rather than splitting
547 again in preferred direction. ([GH-129][])
548 - Update known languages in `markdown-gfm-recognized-languages`.
549 - Filling with `fill-region` now leaves code blocks unmodified.
550 ([GH-192][])
551 - Avoid error when live-previewing a buffer that's not visiting
552 a file. Thanks to Tianxiang Xiong for a patch.
553 ([GH-200][], [GH-201][])
554 - Adaptive filling for Leanpub blocks.
555 - Set variable `comment-use-syntax`. ([GH-213][])
556 - Support `electric-quote-inhibit-functions` for inhibiting
557 electric quoting in code spans and blocks. Thanks to Philipp
558 Stephani for patches to both Emacs and Markdown Mode.
559 ([GH-220][])
560 - Stop inhibiting line breaks inside links when filling.
561 ([GH-173][])
563 * Bug fixes:
565 - Fix spurious bold/italic faces in inline code. ([GH-172][])
566 - Fix defun movement at end of buffer. ([GH-197][])
567 - Fix bug with adjacent bold font-locking in a list
568 item. ([GH-176][])
569 - Prevent matching italics, bold, and inline code in comments.
570 - Prevent matching italics and bold in URLs.
571 - Prevent matching links in inline code or comment spans.
572 - Avoid infinite loop when promoting or demoting last section in
573 a buffer.
574 - Fix font lock for subsequent inline links after a malformed
575 inline link. ([GH-209][])
576 - Prevent clobbering match data in
577 `markdown-font-lock-extend-region-function`. Thanks to
578 Philipp Stephani for a patch. ([GH-221][])
579 - Fix incorrect indentation of inserted GFM code blocks in lists.
580 Thanks to Philipp Stephani for a patch. ([GH-215][])
581 - Fix an issue with font lock for headings with code blocks immediately
582 afterwards, without whitespace. ([GH-234][])

609 # Markdown Mode 2.2
611 *May 26, 2017*
613 Version 2.2 is a major new stable release and all users are encouraged
614 to upgrade. Thanks to everyone who submitted bug reports, feature
615 suggestions, and especially patches.
617 * **Breaking changes:**
619 - Now use <kbd>C-c C-j</kbd> for inserting list items, like
620 AUCTeX and similar to other programming modes. Since <kbd>C-c
621 C-j</kbd> was used for `markdown-jump` (for moving between
622 reference link/footnote markers and their definitions), it has
623 been changed to <kbd>C-c C-l</kbd> (think "leap" or "loop"
624 instead of jump). It's also close to <kbd>C-c C-o</kbd> (used
625 for opening links). ([GH-26][])
626 - Insertion of `kbd` tags with <kbd>C-c C-s k</kbd> or
627 `markdown-insert-kbd`.
628 - Add YAML metadata parsing. Also allow multiple Pandoc
629 metadata, with tests. Thanks to Danny McClanahan and Syohei
630 Yoshida. ([GH-66][], [GH-91][], [GH-155][], [GH-156][],
631 [GH-157][])
632 - Change the behavior of <kbd>C-c C-o</kbd>
633 (`markdown-follow-link-at-point`) so that if a link is a
634 complete URL, it will open in a browser. Otherwise, open it
635 with `find-file` after stripping anchors and/or query strings.
636 ([GH-132][])
637 - Make font lock for missing wiki links optional and disabled by
638 default. Add new custom variable
639 `markdown-wiki-link-fontify-missing` to control this behavior.
640 - The _function_ `markdown-enable-math` has been made obsolete
641 and renamed to `markdown-toggle-math`. When called without an
642 argument, the result is to toggle this extension rather than
643 enable it.
645 * New features:
647 - Filling for definition list items. ([GH-13][])
648 - Added option `markdown-gfm-downcase-languages` to use
649 lowercase language name in GFM code blocks.
650 ([GH-71][], [GH-73][])
651 - Customizable live preview window split direction via
652 `markdown-split-window-direction`. ([GH-129][], [GH-188][])
653 - Variable-height headings via
654 `markdown-header-scaling`. ([GH-121][])
655 - Implement inline image previews via
656 `markdown-toggle-inline-images` and <kbd>C-c C-i C-t</kbd>.
657 Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-122][], [GH-128][])
658 - Added `markdown-wiki-link-search-subdirectories` to enable
659 searching for wiki link files in subdirectories. ([GH-174][])
660 - Added option to automatically continue lists when `RET` is
661 pressed. `markdown-indent-on-enter` now has three settings.
662 ([GH-179][])
663 - Match fenced code blocks with language and info strings.
664 ([GH-184][])
665 - Add smart Markdown block navigation commands <kbd>M-{</kbd>
666 and <kbd>M-}</kbd>. These replace the
667 regular-expression-based "paragraph" movement commands
668 provided by Emacs, which do not recognize Markdown syntax
669 (e.g., headings inside of code blocks). Also use
670 <kbd>M-h</kbd> for marking a block and <kbd>C-x n b</kbd> to
671 narrow to a block.
672 - Add `markdown-nested-imenu-heading-index` as a customizable
673 option. It may be disabled to instead generate a flat imenu
674 index.
675 - Basic font lock and filling for definition lists. As a side
676 effect, list item navigation and movement should also work.
677 - Add command for toggling GFM task list items via
678 <kbd>C-c C-c C-x</kbd> (`markdown-toggle-gfm-checkbox`).
679 - Ability to toggle wiki link support via a new custom variable
680 `markdown-enable-wiki-links`. This may be set in a file local
681 variable. Also added function `markdown-toggle-wiki-links`
682 and a menu item.
684 * Improvements:
686 - Menubar reorganization. Grouped related actions together,
687 added missing commands, and added several toggle options to
688 the menu. ([GH-147][])
689 - Use `toggle` menu style for macOS compatibility.
690 - Remove autoload for `.text` files. Thanks to Steve Purcell.
691 ([GH-118][])
692 - Set own `adaptive-fill-regexp` so that `fill-paragraph` works
693 for list items. Thanks to Syohei Yoshida for the patch.
694 ([GH-79][], [GH-80][])
695 - Suppress minibuffer output when generated HTML is small.
696 Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-83][], [GH-86][])
697 - Use GitHub fetcher for `markdown-mode` on MELPA. ([GH-84][])
698 - Improve fenced code block parsing. Thanks to Danny McClanahan.
699 ([GH-85][], [GH-95][])
700 - Markdown Mode is now automatically tested against Emacs
701 24.1-24.5 and 25.1-25.2. ([GH-99][])
702 - Make live-preview mode follow min or max point. Thanks to
703 Danny McClanahan. ([GH-102][])
704 - Improved font-lock performance. ([GH-119][])
705 - Maintain cursor position when indenting instead of moving to
706 the beginning of the line. Thanks to Isaac Hodes.
707 ([GH-125][])
708 - Add used language names to front of list of known languages.
709 ([GH-135][])
710 - Support basic TOML metadata. Thanks to Jorge Israel Peña.
711 ([GH-137][])
712 - Prohibit setext heading text from starting with hyphens,
713 spaces or tabs, so that there is no ambiguity between setext
714 headings and in-progress lists. ([GH-139][], [GH-143][])
715 - Ignore heading lines in `fill-paragraph`. Thanks to Syohei
716 Yoshida. ([GH-159][], [GH-162][])
717 - Improve matching of multiple math blocks with non-math text in
718 between. Thanks to Dave Kleinschmidt for a patch.
719 ([GH-168][])
720 - Prevent `fill-paragraph` from filling lines in code blocks.
721 ([GH-169][])
722 - Fix font lock for links with URLs containing parentheses.
723 ([GH-170][])
724 - `fill-paragraph` now respects paragraph boundaries within
725 blockquotes. ([GH-186][])
726 - Set mark when calling `markdown-up-heading`.
727 - Improved font locking after empty GFM code block insertion.
728 - Fix spurious italics from underscores in URLs.
729 - Respect `font-lock-mode` being nil. Only call
730 `font-lock-refresh-defaults` if `font-lock-mode` is non-nil to
731 prevent it from being turned on when disabled by user. Thanks
732 to Tom May for the patch.
733 - Fix list item insertion on ordered lists with hash marks
734 (Pandoc "fancy lists").
735 - Treat polymode blocks as code blocks when parsing the buffer.
736 - Require whitespace atx heading hashmarks, as required by the
737 original atx specification (but not enforced by Markdown.pl).
738 The benefit is that it prevents false positives for #hashtags
739 and things like "Engine #1" when lines wrap.
740 - Complete heading markup when point is on an setext heading and
741 `markdown-insert-header-dwim` is invoked
742 (<kbd>C-c C-t h</kbd>).
743 - Better point position after inserting asymmetric atx headings.
745 * Bug fixes:
747 - Fix `scripts/get-recognized-gfm-languages.el`, which skipped
748 languages with spaces. ([GH-72][], [GH-82][])
749 - `README.md` specified Arch (AUR) package (`emacs-goodies-el`),
750 which did not exist. ([GH-74][])
751 - Don't accidentally override user entries in `auto-mode-alist`.
752 ([GH-127][])
753 - Fix `markdown-cycle` issue with heading-like strings in code
754 blocks. Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-75][], [GH-76][])
755 - Fix moving same level heading over code block issue. Thanks
756 to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-77][], [GH-78][])
757 - Don't insert empty title strings for links. Thanks to
758 Sebastian Wiesner for the patch. ([GH-89][])
759 - Fix possible infinite loop in `markdown-cleanup-list-numbers`.
760 Thanks to Danny McClanahan. ([GH-98][], [GH-100][])
761 - Fix an args-out-of-range error due to the syntax-propertize
762 function returning point which is larger than `point-max`.
763 Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-142][])
764 - Respect narrowed region in `markdown-find-previous-prop`.
765 Thanks to Vitalie Spinu. ([GH-109][])
766 - Move point at least 1 char in
767 `markdown-match-propertized-text` to avoid possible infinite
768 loop in font-lock. Thanks to Vitalie Spinu. ([GH-110][])
769 - Fix issues where buffers could be marked as modified when no
770 modifications were made. ([GH-115][], [GH-116][], [GH-146][])
771 - Fix an issue where comments of the form `<!-- > comment -->`
772 were not correctly identified. ([GH-117][])
773 - Prevent spurious bold fontification. Thanks to Kévin Le
774 Gouguec. ([GH-124][])
775 - Keep metadata visible when cycling visibility. ([GH-136][])
776 - `markdown-syntax-propertize-extend-region` should not
777 overwrite match-data, which caused issues with
778 `replace-regexp`, etc. ([GH-104][], [GH-105][])

878 # Markdown Mode 2.1
880 *January 9, 2016*
882 Version 2.1 is a major new stable release and all users are encouraged
883 to upgrade. The many new features and bug fixes included are
884 described below.
886 Markdown Mode is developed and tested primarily for compatibility with
887 GNU Emacs versions 24.3 and later. It requires `cl-lib` version 0.5
888 or later. This library has been bundled with GNU Emacs since version
889 24.3. Users of GNU Emacs 24.1 and 24.2 can install `cl-lib` using
890 `M-x package-install RET cl-lib`.
892 This release of Markdown Mode contains patches written by many
893 individuals including Masayuki Ataka, Jonas Bernoulli, Roger Bolsius,
894 Daniel Brotsky, Julien Danjou, Samuel Freilich, David Glasser, Marijn
895 Haverbeke, Antonis Kanouras, Keshav Kini, Vasily Korytov, Danny
896 McClanahan, Matt McClure, Howard Melman, Makoto Motohashi, Jon
897 Mountjoy, Pierre Neidhardt, Spanti Nicola, Paul W. Rankin, Christophe
898 Rhodes, Tim Visher, and Syohei Yoshida. Many others also submitted
899 bug reports. Thanks to everyone for your contributions.
901 * **Breaking changes:**
903 - In GFM Mode, `visual-line-mode` is no longer enabled by
904 default. A `gfm-mode-hook` was added, which could be used to
905 keep `visual-line-mode` on by default in `gfm-mode`.
906 ([GH-31][])
908 * New features:
910 - Add automatically updating live preview functionality
911 (<kbd>C-c C-c l</kbd>) via the native `eww` browser.
912 ([GH-36][], [GH-53][], [GH-57][], [GH-58][], [GH-63][])
913 - Use `autoload` to enable `markdown-mode` in `auto-mode-alist`
914 for files with `.text`, `.markdown`, and `.md` extensions.
915 - Use Travis CI for automated build testing.
916 - ATX heading subtree promotion and demotion via
917 <kbd>M-S-LEFT</kbd>, and <kbd>M-S-RIGHT</kbd>.
918 - ATX heading subtree moving up and down via <kbd>M-S-UP</kbd>
919 and <kbd>M-S-DOWN</kbd>.
920 - Convert inline links to reference links when
921 `markdown-insert-reference-link-dwim` is used when the point
922 is at an inline link.
923 - Allow linking to multiple stylesheets in `markdown-css-paths`
924 list. Use stylesheets for both preview and export. Previous
925 `markdown-css-path` (singular) is now deprecated.
926 - Customizable default unordered list marker via
927 `markdown-unordered-list-item-prefix`.
928 - Add asymmetric ATX heading adornment option
929 `markdown-asymmetric-header`.
930 - Font lock for `<kbd>` tags.
931 - Support GFM-style code blocks in `markdown-mode` (as well as
932 `gfm-mode`). ([GH-2][])
933 - New function `markdown-electric-backquote` will prompt for a
934 language name for GFM code blocks. This can be disabled by
935 customizing the variable
936 `markdown-gfm-use-electric-backquote`. ([GH-9][])
937 - Completion of programming language names for GFM code blocks.
938 A list of pre-defined languages is included, but this can be
939 augmented by setting `markdown-gfm-additional-languages`.
940 ([GH-38][], [GH-54][], [GH-59][], [GH-60][], [GH-64][])
941 - Strikethrough support in `gfm-mode`.
942 - Support for GFM toggling checkboxes `mouse-1` or
943 <kbd>RET</kbd>. This is controlled by a new custom variable,
944 `markdown-make-gfm-checkboxes-buttons`. Thanks to Howard
945 Melman for a patch. ([GH-7][])
946 - Font lock and filling for Pandoc "fancy lists," which use `#`
947 as the list marker. ([GH-3][])
948 - Basic support for filling of definition lists. ([GH-20][])
949 - Support [Ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.info/)-style search for wiki links that allows
950 links relative to parent directories. Enable this by setting
951 `markdown-wiki-link-search-parent-directories`.
952 ([GH-8][], [GH-21][])
954 * Improvements:
956 - General font lock improvements for comments, code blocks,
957 blockquotes, headings, horizontal rules, bold, and italics.
958 ([GH-67][], [GH-68][])
959 - Separate highlighting for Markdown markup characters
960 (asterisks, underscores, backquotes, etc.) to aid in
961 readability.
962 - Font lock for bold, italics, and LaTeX math work inside block
963 elements such as headings and blockquotes. ([GH-39][])
964 - Display a link to the GitHub repository in the MELPA
965 description. ([GH-37][])
967 * Bug fixes:
969 - Fix bug in `markdown-complete-region/buffer` where level-two
970 Setext headings could be confused with horizontal rules.
971 Includes a unit test. Thanks to Gunnar Franke for the report.
972 - Fix filling when a decimal number appears at column zero,
973 which could be confused with an ordered list item.
974 - Fix buffer-wide markup completion.
975 - Fix font-lock for GFM code blocks without language keywords.
976 - Improved Setext header insertion to support wide characters.
977 - Fix expensive `paragraph-separate` regular expression.
978 - Make `comment-auto-fill-only-comments` a buffer-local
979 variable, which allows for better default filling behavior in
980 cases where the global variable is non-`nil`.
981 - Fix Emacs 23 compatibility by checking for
982 `font-lock-refresh-defaults` before calling it.
983 - Handle reference definitions when filling paragraphs.
984 - Improve filling of list items with indentation.
985 - Properly handle footnotes when filling.
986 - Fix issues with markdown-footnote-kill and related functions.
987 - Improve font lock for fenced code blocks.
988 - Avoid avoid overwriting source file when exporting if source
989 file has `.html` extension.
990 - Fix and improve ordered list behavior to preserve digit
991 spacing and avoid an infinite loop in certain cases. Adjust
992 ordered list whitespace when marker digit count increases.
993 - Improve reference definition regular expression to avoid
994 matching multiple reference links in one line.
995 - Allow spaces in fenced code language identifiers. ([GH-22][])
996 - Improve font lock for preformatted blocks and fenced code
997 blocks.
998 - Fix out-of-order HTML output. ([GH-14][])
999 - Add console-friendly backspace and tab bindings. ([GH-15][])
1000 - Better treatment of files without extensions for wiki links.
1001 When files have no extensions, don't append a lone period.
1002 ([GH-23][])
1003 - Call `looking-back` with two arguments for compatibility with
1004 Emacs 25.1.
1005 - Make `(beginning-of-defun -1)` go to next title when point is
1006 at beginning of defun. ([GH-34][])
1007 - Ignore headings in code blocks for font lock, movement, and
1008 visibility cycling.
1009 ([GH-27][], [GH-33][], [GH-35][], [GH-40][], [GH-41][])
1010 - Don't highlight wiki links in code blocks. ([GH-17][])
1011 - Don't move to links in code blocks with <kbd>C-c C-p</kbd> and
1012 <kbd>C-c C-n</kbd>.
1013 - Fix hanging indentation for list items and single-line
1014 preformatted blocks. ([GH-16][], [GH-28][], [GH-30][])
1015 - Better rejection of false positives for italics with respect
1016 to other inline elements (inline code and bold).
1017 - Predicate functions should not modify match data.
1018 - Use correct list marker from previous list level when using
1019 <kbd>C-u M-RET</kbd> to insert a dedented list item. Prevent
1020 an infinite loop in some cases. ([GH-4][])
1021 - Reduce lag when scrolling or inserting text into large files.
1022 ([GH-30][], [GH-101][])
1023 - Avoid confusing tramp errors with malformed wiki links.

1068 # Markdown Mode 2.0
1070 *March 24, 2013*
1072 Version 2.0 is a major new stable release with many new features,
1073 including some changes to keybindings for element insertion and
1074 outline navigation. In summary, Markdown Mode now has improved
1075 keybindings, smarter markup insertion commands, a general markup
1076 removal command, markup completion (normalization), markup promotion
1077 and demotion, list and region editing, many syntax highlighting
1078 improvements, new and improved movement commands, and generalized link
1079 following and movement.
1081 * **Breaking changes:**
1083 - Physical style element insertion commands prefixed by
1084 <kbd>C-c C-p</kbd> have been removed in favor of their
1085 logical style counterparts prefixed by <kbd>C-c C-s</kbd>.
1086 - Shift is now the preferred way to distinguish keybindings for
1087 two related elements. For example, you can insert an inline
1088 link with <kbd>C-c C-a l</kbd> or a reference link with
1089 <kbd>C-c C-a L</kbd>. The latter keybinding is new and
1090 preferred over <kbd>C-c C-a r</kbd>, which is deprecated.
1091 - Footnote keybindings have been moved away from the
1092 <kbd>C-c C-f n</kbd> prefix.
1093 - Several other new keybindings have been introduced and are
1094 described in more detail below.
1095 - Removed wiki link following with `RET` and
1096 `markdown-follow-wiki-link-on-enter` setting. Use the
1097 unified following (open link) command <kbd>C-c C-o</kbd>
1098 instead.
1100 * New features:
1102 - Fast heading insertion with a single command which
1103 automatically calculates the type (atx or setext) and level.
1104 Prefix with <kbd>C-u</kbd> to promote the heading by one
1105 level or <kbd>C-u C-u</kbd> to demote the heading by one
1106 level. Headings with a specific level or type can still be
1107 inserted quickly with specific keybindings.
1108 - Easily kill an element (e.g., a link or reference definition)
1109 at the point with <kbd>C-c C-k</kbd> and store the most
1110 important part in the kill ring (e.g., the link text or URL).
1111 - Markup completion (<kbd>C-c C-]</kbd>) normalizes the markup
1112 for an element (e.g., it balances hash marks and removing
1113 extra whitespace for atx headings).
1114 - Markup promotion and demotion via <kbd>C-c C--</kbd> and
1115 <kbd>C-c C-=</kbd>, respectively. The sequences
1116 <kbd>M-UP</kbd> and <kbd>M-DOWN</kbd> may
1117 also be used.
1118 - List editing: move list items up and down with
1119 <kbd>M-UP</kbd> and <kbd>M-DOWN</kbd>.
1120 Indent and exdent list items with <kbd>M-LEFT</kbd>
1121 and <kbd>M-RIGHT</kbd>.
1122 - Region editing: indent and exdent regions, with tab stops
1123 determined by context, using <kbd>C-c <</kbd> and
1124 <kbd>C-c ></kbd> (as in `python-mode`).
1125 - Smart list item insertion with <kbd>M-RET</kbd>, with
1126 indentation and marker determined by the surrounding context.
1127 Prefix with <kbd>C-u</kbd> to decrease the indentation by one
1128 level or <kbd>C-u C-u</kbd> to increase the indentation one
1129 level.
1130 - Quickly jump between reference definitions and
1131 reference-style links and between footnote markers and
1132 footnote text with <kbd>C-c C-j</kbd>. Create undefined
1133 references when jumping from a reference link. When jumping
1134 back, present a buffer with buttons for selecting which link
1135 to jump to.
1136 - Revised outline navigation commands, following `org-mode`.
1137 This frees up the sexp navigation keys <kbd>C-M-f</kbd> and
1138 <kbd>C-M-b</kbd> which can be useful in Markdown documents
1139 which have many matching delimiters, as well as the defun
1140 navigation keys <kbd>C-M-a</kbd> and <kbd>C-M-e</kbd>.
1141 - Previous/next section movement with <kbd>C-M-a</kbd> and
1142 <kbd>C-M-e</kbd> (in Emacs parlance, this is movement by
1143 defun). Mark the current section with <kbd>C-M-h</kbd>.
1144 - Previous/next paragraph movement via <kbd>M-{</kbd> and
1145 <kbd>M-}</kbd>.
1146 - Previous/next block movement with <kbd>C-u M-{</kbd> and
1147 <kbd>C-u M-}</kbd>.
1148 - Customizable reference link location via
1149 `markdown-reference-location`.
1150 - Font lock for title strings in inline links.
1151 - Subtle syntax highlighting for hard line breaks.
1152 - In GFM Mode, change italic font lock behavior to match GFM
1153 specification regarding underscores in words.
1154 - Insertion command (<kbd>C-c C-s P</kbd>) for GFM quoted code
1155 blocks.
1156 - Syntax highlighting for MultiMarkdown metadata and Pandoc
1157 title blocks.
1158 - Added before and after export hooks
1159 `markdown-before-export-hook` and
1160 `markdown-after-export-hook`.
1161 - Added a library of regression tests which currently contains
1162 160 unit tests.
1164 * Improvements:
1166 - ATX heading insertion will use current line as heading text
1167 if not blank and there is no active region.
1168 - Setext heading insertion will prompt for heading title when
1169 there is no active region.
1170 - When the point is at a heading, the heading insertion
1171 commands will replace the heading at point with a heading of
1172 the requested level and type.
1173 - When there is no active region, the bold, italic, code, link,
1174 and image insertion commands will operate on the word at
1175 point, if any, so that you don't have to have an active
1176 selection for simple modifications.
1177 - Repeating the bold, italic, or code insertion commands when
1178 the point is at an element of the corresponding type will
1179 remove the markup.
1180 - Indentation of preformatted text and blockquotes will be
1181 adjusted automatically in contexts where more indentation is
1182 required, as in nested lists. (For example, in Markdown, a
1183 preformatted text block inside a first-level list item must
1184 have eight spaces of indentation.)
1185 - Improved reference link insertion with label completion:
1186 + Use word at point as link text, if possible, when there
1187 is no active region.
1188 + Tab completion of reference labels from the set of
1189 currently defined references.
1190 + Reference link insertion no longer prompts for a URL or
1191 title if the label is already defined.
1192 + If no URL is given, create an empty reference definition
1193 and move the point there.
1194 - Basic reference-style image markup insertion.
1195 - Multiple horizontal rule styles, `markdown-hr-strings`,
1196 customizable as a list of strings, which can be cycled
1197 through.
1198 - New URL insertion command for inserting plain URLs delimited
1199 by angle brackets (<kbd>C-c C-a u</kbd>). Works on URL at
1200 point, if any, when there is no active region.
1201 - Generally improved insertion commands with respect to
1202 insertion of surrounding whitespace and point position after
1203 insertion (e.g., ensuring blank lines before and after newly
1204 inserted headings and horizontal rules).
1205 - Unified link following: open links in a browser and wiki
1206 links in a new buffer with the same keybinding (<kbd>C-c
1207 C-o</kbd>). This supersedes the separate wiki link following
1208 command (<kbd>C-c C-w</kbd>).
1209 - Generalized link movement and following: move between and
1210 open all link types (inline, reference, wiki, angle URIs)
1211 using the same key bindings (<kbd>M-n</kbd> and
1212 <kbd>M-p</kbd>). Previously, these commands only moved
1213 between wiki links, but with the above following enhancement,
1214 moving between hyperlinks of all types is more useful.
1215 - Syntax highlighting for GFM quoted code blocks with an
1216 optional language keyword.
1217 - Dynamic loading and unloading for math support with
1218 refontification.
1219 - Allow underscores and colons in equation labels in math mode.
1220 - Syntax highlighting improvements: faster identification of
1221 preformatted blocks. Markdown Mode adheres to the four space
1222 rule for nested list items: in a list item of level _n_,
1223 preformatted text must be indented at least 4(_n_ + 1)
1224 spaces.
1225 - More inclusive blockquote regular expression highlights
1226 blockquotes with leading indentation, when appropriate.
1227 - Regular expression optimization for URI matching.
1228 - Numerous other improvements for more accurate syntax
1229 highlighting.
1230 - Respect hard line breaks when filling paragraphs.
1231 - Add indentation positions: preceding list markers and pre
1232 block position.
1233 - Use button-map for navigating undefined references, so that
1234 references can be navigated via the keyboard by pressing
1235 <kbd>TAB</kbd> and <kbd>S-TAB</kbd>.
1236 - Use newer `use-region-p` when possible to check for active
1237 region, with fallbacks for older Emacsen and Xemacs.
1238 - Clean up whitespace after deleting footnote text.
1239 - Use adaptive filling for list items and blockquotes.
1240 - Treat all list items (any marker type) the same way with respect
1241 to filling.
1242 - Retain the `>` prefix when filling blockquotes.
1243 - Fill list items inside of blockquotes.
1244 - Numerous other internal improvements to make the code base
1245 more robust.
1247 * Bug fixes:
1249 - Fix bug in heading visibility cycling introduced in version
1250 1.9 where the level of headings was being calculated
1251 incorrectly.
1252 - Fix problems inserting ATX headings at end of buffer.
1253 - Support small Setext headings (with fewer than three
1254 characters).
1255 - Several improvements to inline code syntax highlighting.
1256 - Fix some edge cases regarding escaping, spaces, etc. for bold
1257 and italic font lock.
1258 - Prohibit newlines and tabs immediately after opening bold and
1259 italic delimiters. This fixes a bug where italics would not
1260 be highlighted following a horizontal rule
1261 - Improved multi-line font lock performance for large files.
1262 - Improved multi-line font lock at beginning of buffer.
1263 - List items with any of the three markers are filled in the
1264 same way (previously list items starting with `+` were not
1265 filled with hanging indentation).
1266 - Fix end detection for empty list items. Don't skip over the
1267 whitespace following the marker on the same line.
1268 Previously, empty list items were not being detected properly
1269 by `markdown-cur-list-item-bounds` as a result of this.
1270 - Don't exclude `[^]`, which is a valid reference tag (but
1271 let's please stick to alphanumeric characters).
1272 - No longer highlight escaped wiki links.
1273 - Fix line number buttons for reference checking and make all
1274 buttons clickable.
1275 - Fix killing of footnotes with no text.
1276 - Fix escaping in `markdown-xhtml-standalone-regexp`.
1277 - Fix a font-lock edge case involving footnote markers
1278 preceding inline links.
1279 - More accurate font-lock for ATX headings in edge cases.
1280 - Fix killing of footnotes from footnote text.

1374 # Markdown Mode 1.8.1
1376 *August 15, 2011*
1378 Version 1.8.1 is a bugfix version which addresses some minor issues in
1379 version 1.8.
1381 * New features:
1383 - Wiki link features now support aliased or piped wiki links of
1384 the form `[[PageName|link text]]`.
1386 * Bug fixes:
1388 - Fixed an issue, reported by Werner Dittmann, where the
1389 default indentation position would be skipped over when
1390 `auto-fill-mode` was on. This meant that when writing a
1391 normal paragraph, for example, the line would wrap to column
1392 4 instead of column 1.
1393 - Require the `cl` package for `multiple-value-bind`. Thanks
1394 to Werner Dittman for noticing this.
1395 - Remove a leftover debug print message which would announce
1396 "ENTER" in the minibuffer when the enter key was pressed.
1398 # Markdown Mode 1.8
1400 *August 12, 2011*
1402 * New features:
1404 - Add support for following wiki links in a buffer, either with
1405 <kbd>C-c C-f</kbd> or, optionally, <kbd>RET</kbd>, when the
1406 point is at a wiki link.
1407 - Support Markdown processors which do not accept input from
1408 stdin (i.e, Python-Markdown) by adding the
1409 `markdown-command-needs-filename` custom option. Thanks to
1410 Jeremiah Dodds for a patch.
1411 - GitHub-Flavored Markdown mode (`gfm-mode`) turns on
1412 `longlines-mode` and `auto-fill-mode`. Thanks to Edward
1413 O'Connor for the patch.
1414 - Add outline-mode-like keybindings for fast outline navigation
1415 of atx-style headers (see the updated documentation for
1416 details).
1417 - Arbitrary content may to be added to the `<head>` block during
1418 HTML output to allow for flexible local customizations. See
1419 `markdown-xhtml-header-content`.
1420 - New HTML export options: export to a file with
1421 <kbd>C-c C-c e</kbd> or export to a file and view with
1422 <kbd>C-c C-c v</kbd>.
1423 - Support Markdown processors which produce standalone output
1424 (i.e., complete HTML documents). If this is detected, by
1425 matching `markdown-xhtml-standalone-regexp` in the first five
1426 lines of output, then omit the `markdown-mode` header and
1427 footer. Thanks to Philippe Ivaldi for this and the previous
1428 HTML-output-related patches.
1429 - Customizable wiki link following behavior using
1430 `markdown-follow-wiki-link-on-enter`.
1431 - Quick navigation to the previous and next wiki links using
1432 <kbd>M-p</kbd> and <kbd>M-n</kbd>.
1433 - Wiki links to non-existent files (missing links) are
1434 highlighted differently. Based on functionality from
1435 `wiki-mode` by Alex Schroeder. Thanks to Eric Merritt for
1436 patches.
1438 * Improvements:
1440 - Improve syntax highlighting of preformatted text blocks to
1441 better distinguish them from list items with hanging
1442 indentation and nested list items.
1443 - Match italic and bold text and inline code fragments across
1444 line breaks, within a single block, but prevent them from
1445 matching across blocks.
1446 - Generally improve multi-line font lock by extending the search
1447 region to include full blocks.
1448 - Make indentation work when the previous line is not indented.
1449 - Set tab width to 4, the natural tab width for Markdown
1450 documents.
1451 - Stop announcing "TAB" in the minibuffer when tab is pressed.
1452 - Use `html-mode` for viewing Markdown output.
1453 - Ensure Markdown output buffer is always raised, even when the
1454 output is short.
1455 - Make sure horizontal rules inserted by <kbd>C-c -</kbd>
1456 (`markdown-insert-hr`) are surrounded by blank lines.
1457 - Added an `autoload` cookie. Thanks to Peter S. Galbraith for
1458 the patch.
1459 - Support a customizable horizontal rule string
1460 `markdown-hr-string`. This replaces the previous but less
1461 flexible custom option `markdown-hr-length`, which has been
1462 removed.
1463 - Followed wiki links are opened using `markdown-mode`.
1465 * Bug fixes:
1467 - Fixed an issue, reported by Joost Kremners, where for
1468 multi-line lists, the position of the list marker was not
1469 being added to the list of possible indentation levels.
1470 - Avoid a problem where indentation positions were getting
1471 skipped over when tab cycling.
1472 - Fixed an issue when column 0 is the natural automatic
1473 indentation stop.
1474 - Prevent infinite loops in blockquote (<kbd>C-c C-s b</kbd>)
1475 and preformatted (<kbd>C-c C-s p</kbd>) block insertion while
1476 at the beginning or end of the buffer.
1478 # Markdown Mode 1.7
1480 *October 1, 2009*
1482 * New features:
1484 - Support filling of list items.
1485 - Allow customization of font-lock faces (thanks to intrigeri
1486 for the patch).
1487 - Automatic indentation when pressing enter or tab (with
1488 cycling upon subsequent tab presses) (thanks to Bryan Kyle).
1489 - Generate real XHTML for previewing (thanks to Hilko Bengen
1490 for the patch). This fixes [Debian bug #490865](http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=490865). The CSS
1491 stylesheet for XHTML output is customizable via
1492 `markdown-css-path` (thanks to Ankit Solanki for the patch).
1493 - Better URL matching (protocols are customizable through
1494 `markdown-uri-types`).
1495 - LaTeX syntax highlighting can be enabled or disabled using
1496 the customize system (`markdown-enable-math`).
1497 - Support for HTML comments (font lock, `comment-dwim`, etc.).
1498 - Support filling of definition lists (thanks to Peter Williams
1499 for the patch).
1501 * Improvements:
1503 - Add support level 5 and 6 atx-style headers (thanks to Alec
1504 Resnick for the report).
1505 - Fill-paragraph no longer breaks lines inside of square
1506 brackets (thanks to Peter Williams for the patch).
1508 * Bug fixes:
1510 - Fixed several font lock issues.
1511 - Fixed a bug where pressing enter did nothing in
1512 longlines-mode (thanks to Ankit Solanki for the patch).
1513 - Fixed a problem where Emacs snapshot would hang during
1514 `markdown-enter` and `markdown-cycle` (thanks to Alec Resnick
1515 for the report).
1516 - Fixed an issue with auto-fill-mode and markdown-mode's
1517 indentation (thanks to Joost Kremers for the report and
1518 analysis).
1520 # Markdown Mode 1.6
1522 *June 4, 2008*
1524 * **Breaking changes:**
1526 - Rename `blockquote-region` to `markdown-blockquote-region` in
1527 accordance with the Emacs major mode coding conventions.
1528 - Several new keybindings.
1529 - Reverted to using colors instead of bold, italic, and
1530 fixed-width faces.
1532 * New features:
1534 - Implemented org-mode style visibility cycling.
1535 - Support outline minor mode.
1536 - Undefined reference checking (via `C-c C-c c`, using code by
1537 Dmitry Dzhus).
1538 - Wiki links: syntax highlighting and element insertion
1539 (`C-c C-a w`).

1541 - Insertion of preformatted text sections (`C-c C-s p`).
1542 - Font locking for inline URIs and email addresses.

1556 Winton).
1557 - Fix adjacent wiki link font lock bug.
1558 - Support escaping of backticks.
1559 - Many other small font lock tweaks.
1560 - Don't check for `transient-mark-mode` in
1561 `markdown-blockquote-region`. This fixes Debian bug #456592
1562 (thanks to Daniel Burrows for the report).
1563 - Apply Greg Bognar's fix for `markdown` with an active region.
1564 - Don't use the kill ring to store wrapped text.
1566 # Markdown Mode 1.5
1568 *October 11, 2007*
1570 Version 1.5 is a major revision compared to previous releases. The
1571 functionality has not changed very much, all of the keybindings are
1572 the same, but it is internally quite different.
1574 Most of the changes involve syntax highlighting. The regular
1575 expressions have been significantly improved and the corresponding
1576 font lock faces have been tweaked (hopefully for the better, but feel
1577 free to customize them). Various other small bugs have been fixed and
1578 the documentation and website have been updated.
1580 The two changes in functionality, both of which are optional, are
1581 syntax highlighting for embedded mathematics via LaTeX-like
1582 expressions, and highlighting for bracketed wiki links.
1584 [itex]: http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/~distler/blog/itex2MMLcommands.html
1586 # Markdown Mode 1.4
1588 *June 29, 2007*
1590 Version 1.4 includes a small fix to the regular expression syntax to
1591 fix the Emacs 21 "Invalid escape character syntax." error. Thanks to
1592 Edward O'Connor for the fix.
1594 # Markdown Mode 1.3
1596 *June 5, 2007*
1598 Version 1.3 provides syntax highlighting, insertion commands for all
1599 basic HTML elements, and preview commands for viewing the resulting
1600 HTML in a new buffer of an external browser.
1602 # Markdown Mode 1.2
1604 *May 25, 2007*
1606 Version 1.2 adds element insertion commands and keys for links,
1607 horizontal rules, headers, inline code, and bold and italic text.
1609 Added element insertion commands and keys for links, horizontal rules, headers, inline code, and bold and italic text.
1611 # Markdown Mode 1.1
1613 *May 24, 2007*
1615 Version 1.1 is the initial release of Markdown Mode for Emacs, a major
1616 mode to edit Markdown files in Emacs. This version provides basic
1617 syntax highlighting and element insertion commands for Markdown files.
