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

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

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

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

608 # Markdown Mode 2.2
610 *May 26, 2017*
612 Version 2.2 is a major new stable release and all users are encouraged
613 to upgrade. Thanks to everyone who submitted bug reports, feature
614 suggestions, and especially patches.
616 * **Breaking changes:**
618 - Now use <kbd>C-c C-j</kbd> for inserting list items, like
619 AUCTeX and similar to other programming modes. Since <kbd>C-c
620 C-j</kbd> was used for `markdown-jump` (for moving between
621 reference link/footnote markers and their definitions), it has
622 been changed to <kbd>C-c C-l</kbd> (think "leap" or "loop"
623 instead of jump). It's also close to <kbd>C-c C-o</kbd> (used
624 for opening links). ([GH-26][])
625 - Insertion of `kbd` tags with <kbd>C-c C-s k</kbd> or
626 `markdown-insert-kbd`.
627 - Add YAML metadata parsing. Also allow multiple Pandoc
628 metadata, with tests. Thanks to Danny McClanahan and Syohei
629 Yoshida. ([GH-66][], [GH-91][], [GH-155][], [GH-156][],
630 [GH-157][])
631 - Change the behavior of <kbd>C-c C-o</kbd>
632 (`markdown-follow-link-at-point`) so that if a link is a
633 complete URL, it will open in a browser. Otherwise, open it
634 with `find-file` after stripping anchors and/or query strings.
635 ([GH-132][])
636 - Make font lock for missing wiki links optional and disabled by
637 default. Add new custom variable
638 `markdown-wiki-link-fontify-missing` to control this behavior.
639 - The _function_ `markdown-enable-math` has been made obsolete
640 and renamed to `markdown-toggle-math`. When called without an
641 argument, the result is to toggle this extension rather than
642 enable it.
644 * New features:
646 - Filling for definition list items. ([GH-13][])
647 - Added option `markdown-gfm-downcase-languages` to use
648 lowercase language name in GFM code blocks.
649 ([GH-71][], [GH-73][])
650 - Customizable live preview window split direction via
651 `markdown-split-window-direction`. ([GH-129][], [GH-188][])
652 - Variable-height headings via
653 `markdown-header-scaling`. ([GH-121][])
654 - Implement inline image previews via
655 `markdown-toggle-inline-images` and <kbd>C-c C-i C-t</kbd>.
656 Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-122][], [GH-128][])
657 - Added `markdown-wiki-link-search-subdirectories` to enable
658 searching for wiki link files in subdirectories. ([GH-174][])
659 - Added option to automatically continue lists when `RET` is
660 pressed. `markdown-indent-on-enter` now has three settings.
661 ([GH-179][])
662 - Match fenced code blocks with language and info strings.
663 ([GH-184][])
664 - Add smart Markdown block navigation commands <kbd>M-{</kbd>
665 and <kbd>M-}</kbd>. These replace the
666 regular-expression-based "paragraph" movement commands
667 provided by Emacs, which do not recognize Markdown syntax
668 (e.g., headings inside of code blocks). Also use
669 <kbd>M-h</kbd> for marking a block and <kbd>C-x n b</kbd> to
670 narrow to a block.
671 - Add `markdown-nested-imenu-heading-index` as a customizable
672 option. It may be disabled to instead generate a flat imenu
673 index.
674 - Basic font lock and filling for definition lists. As a side
675 effect, list item navigation and movement should also work.
676 - Add command for toggling GFM task list items via
677 <kbd>C-c C-c C-x</kbd> (`markdown-toggle-gfm-checkbox`).
678 - Ability to toggle wiki link support via a new custom variable
679 `markdown-enable-wiki-links`. This may be set in a file local
680 variable. Also added function `markdown-toggle-wiki-links`
681 and a menu item.
683 * Improvements:
685 - Menubar reorganization. Grouped related actions together,
686 added missing commands, and added several toggle options to
687 the menu. ([GH-147][])
688 - Use `toggle` menu style for macOS compatibility.
689 - Remove autoload for `.text` files. Thanks to Steve Purcell.
690 ([GH-118][])
691 - Set own `adaptive-fill-regexp` so that `fill-paragraph` works
692 for list items. Thanks to Syohei Yoshida for the patch.
693 ([GH-79][], [GH-80][])
694 - Suppress minibuffer output when generated HTML is small.
695 Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-83][], [GH-86][])
696 - Use GitHub fetcher for `markdown-mode` on MELPA. ([GH-84][])
697 - Improve fenced code block parsing. Thanks to Danny McClanahan.
698 ([GH-85][], [GH-95][])
699 - Markdown Mode is now automatically tested against Emacs
700 24.1-24.5 and 25.1-25.2. ([GH-99][])
701 - Make live-preview mode follow min or max point. Thanks to
702 Danny McClanahan. ([GH-102][])
703 - Improved font-lock performance. ([GH-119][])
704 - Maintain cursor position when indenting instead of moving to
705 the beginning of the line. Thanks to Isaac Hodes.
706 ([GH-125][])
707 - Add used language names to front of list of known languages.
708 ([GH-135][])
709 - Support basic TOML metadata. Thanks to Jorge Israel Peña.
710 ([GH-137][])
711 - Prohibit setext heading text from starting with hyphens,
712 spaces or tabs, so that there is no ambiguity between setext
713 headings and in-progress lists. ([GH-139][], [GH-143][])
714 - Ignore heading lines in `fill-paragraph`. Thanks to Syohei
715 Yoshida. ([GH-159][], [GH-162][])
716 - Improve matching of multiple math blocks with non-math text in
717 between. Thanks to Dave Kleinschmidt for a patch.
718 ([GH-168][])
719 - Prevent `fill-paragraph` from filling lines in code blocks.
720 ([GH-169][])
721 - Fix font lock for links with URLs containing parentheses.
722 ([GH-170][])
723 - `fill-paragraph` now respects paragraph boundaries within
724 blockquotes. ([GH-186][])
725 - Set mark when calling `markdown-up-heading`.
726 - Improved font locking after empty GFM code block insertion.
727 - Fix spurious italics from underscores in URLs.
728 - Respect `font-lock-mode` being nil. Only call
729 `font-lock-refresh-defaults` if `font-lock-mode` is non-nil to
730 prevent it from being turned on when disabled by user. Thanks
731 to Tom May for the patch.
732 - Fix list item insertion on ordered lists with hash marks
733 (Pandoc "fancy lists").
734 - Treat polymode blocks as code blocks when parsing the buffer.
735 - Require whitespace atx heading hashmarks, as required by the
736 original atx specification (but not enforced by Markdown.pl).
737 The benefit is that it prevents false positives for #hashtags
738 and things like "Engine #1" when lines wrap.
739 - Complete heading markup when point is on an setext heading and
740 `markdown-insert-header-dwim` is invoked
741 (<kbd>C-c C-t h</kbd>).
742 - Better point position after inserting asymmetric atx headings.
744 * Bug fixes:
746 - Fix `scripts/get-recognized-gfm-languages.el`, which skipped
747 languages with spaces. ([GH-72][], [GH-82][])
748 - `README.md` specified Arch (AUR) package (`emacs-goodies-el`),
749 which did not exist. ([GH-74][])
750 - Don't accidentally override user entries in `auto-mode-alist`.
751 ([GH-127][])
752 - Fix `markdown-cycle` issue with heading-like strings in code
753 blocks. Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-75][], [GH-76][])
754 - Fix moving same level heading over code block issue. Thanks
755 to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-77][], [GH-78][])
756 - Don't insert empty title strings for links. Thanks to
757 Sebastian Wiesner for the patch. ([GH-89][])
758 - Fix possible infinite loop in `markdown-cleanup-list-numbers`.
759 Thanks to Danny McClanahan. ([GH-98][], [GH-100][])
760 - Fix an args-out-of-range error due to the syntax-propertize
761 function returning point which is larger than `point-max`.
762 Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-142][])
763 - Respect narrowed region in `markdown-find-previous-prop`.
764 Thanks to Vitalie Spinu. ([GH-109][])
765 - Move point at least 1 char in
766 `markdown-match-propertized-text` to avoid possible infinite
767 loop in font-lock. Thanks to Vitalie Spinu. ([GH-110][])
768 - Fix issues where buffers could be marked as modified when no
769 modifications were made. ([GH-115][], [GH-116][], [GH-146][])
770 - Fix an issue where comments of the form `<!-- > comment -->`
771 were not correctly identified. ([GH-117][])
772 - Prevent spurious bold fontification. Thanks to Kévin Le
773 Gouguec. ([GH-124][])
774 - Keep metadata visible when cycling visibility. ([GH-136][])
775 - `markdown-syntax-propertize-extend-region` should not
776 overwrite match-data, which caused issues with
777 `replace-regexp`, etc. ([GH-104][], [GH-105][])
778 - Don't list heading-like lines in code blocks or metadata in
779 imenu. Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-145][], [GH-154][])

787 - Fix `markdown-header-face` inherit from nil error, e.g., when
788 exporting HTML from an Org mode file containing a Markdown

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

1067 # Markdown Mode 2.0
1069 *March 24, 2013*
1071 Version 2.0 is a major new stable release with many new features,
1072 including some changes to keybindings for element insertion and
1073 outline navigation. In summary, Markdown Mode now has improved
1074 keybindings, smarter markup insertion commands, a general markup
1075 removal command, markup completion (normalization), markup promotion
1076 and demotion, list and region editing, many syntax highlighting
1077 improvements, new and improved movement commands, and generalized link
1078 following and movement.
1080 * **Breaking changes:**
1082 - Physical style element insertion commands prefixed by
1083 <kbd>C-c C-p</kbd> have been removed in favor of their
1084 logical style counterparts prefixed by <kbd>C-c C-s</kbd>.
1085 - Shift is now the preferred way to distinguish keybindings for
1086 two related elements. For example, you can insert an inline
1087 link with <kbd>C-c C-a l</kbd> or a reference link with
1088 <kbd>C-c C-a L</kbd>. The latter keybinding is new and
1089 preferred over <kbd>C-c C-a r</kbd>, which is deprecated.
1090 - Footnote keybindings have been moved away from the
1091 <kbd>C-c C-f n</kbd> prefix.
1092 - Several other new keybindings have been introduced and are
1093 described in more detail below.
1094 - Removed wiki link following with `RET` and
1095 `markdown-follow-wiki-link-on-enter` setting. Use the
1096 unified following (open link) command <kbd>C-c C-o</kbd>
1097 instead.
1099 * New features:
1101 - Fast heading insertion with a single command which
1102 automatically calculates the type (atx or setext) and level.
1103 Prefix with <kbd>C-u</kbd> to promote the heading by one
1104 level or <kbd>C-u C-u</kbd> to demote the heading by one
1105 level. Headings with a specific level or type can still be
1106 inserted quickly with specific keybindings.
1107 - Easily kill an element (e.g., a link or reference definition)
1108 at the point with <kbd>C-c C-k</kbd> and store the most
1109 important part in the kill ring (e.g., the link text or URL).
1110 - Markup completion (<kbd>C-c C-]</kbd>) normalizes the markup
1111 for an element (e.g., it balances hash marks and removing
1112 extra whitespace for atx headings).
1113 - Markup promotion and demotion via <kbd>C-c C--</kbd> and
1114 <kbd>C-c C-=</kbd>, respectively. The sequences
1115 <kbd>M-UP</kbd> and <kbd>M-DOWN</kbd> may
1116 also be used.
1117 - List editing: move list items up and down with
1118 <kbd>M-UP</kbd> and <kbd>M-DOWN</kbd>.
1119 Indent and exdent list items with <kbd>M-LEFT</kbd>
1120 and <kbd>M-RIGHT</kbd>.
1121 - Region editing: indent and exdent regions, with tab stops
1122 determined by context, using <kbd>C-c <</kbd> and
1123 <kbd>C-c ></kbd> (as in `python-mode`).
1124 - Smart list item insertion with <kbd>M-RET</kbd>, with
1125 indentation and marker determined by the surrounding context.
1126 Prefix with <kbd>C-u</kbd> to decrease the indentation by one
1127 level or <kbd>C-u C-u</kbd> to increase the indentation one
1128 level.
1129 - Quickly jump between reference definitions and
1130 reference-style links and between footnote markers and
1131 footnote text with <kbd>C-c C-j</kbd>. Create undefined
1132 references when jumping from a reference link. When jumping
1133 back, present a buffer with buttons for selecting which link
1134 to jump to.
1135 - Revised outline navigation commands, following `org-mode`.
1136 This frees up the sexp navigation keys <kbd>C-M-f</kbd> and
1137 <kbd>C-M-b</kbd> which can be useful in Markdown documents
1138 which have many matching delimiters, as well as the defun
1139 navigation keys <kbd>C-M-a</kbd> and <kbd>C-M-e</kbd>.
1140 - Previous/next section movement with <kbd>C-M-a</kbd> and
1141 <kbd>C-M-e</kbd> (in Emacs parlance, this is movement by
1142 defun). Mark the current section with <kbd>C-M-h</kbd>.
1143 - Previous/next paragraph movement via <kbd>M-{</kbd> and
1144 <kbd>M-}</kbd>.
1145 - Previous/next block movement with <kbd>C-u M-{</kbd> and
1146 <kbd>C-u M-}</kbd>.
1147 - Customizable reference link location via
1148 `markdown-reference-location`.
1149 - Font lock for title strings in inline links.
1150 - Subtle syntax highlighting for hard line breaks.
1151 - In GFM Mode, change italic font lock behavior to match GFM
1152 specification regarding underscores in words.
1153 - Insertion command (<kbd>C-c C-s P</kbd>) for GFM quoted code
1154 blocks.
1155 - Syntax highlighting for MultiMarkdown metadata and Pandoc
1156 title blocks.
1157 - Added before and after export hooks
1158 `markdown-before-export-hook` and
1159 `markdown-after-export-hook`.
1160 - Added a library of regression tests which currently contains
1161 160 unit tests.
1163 * Improvements:
1165 - ATX heading insertion will use current line as heading text
1166 if not blank and there is no active region.
1167 - Setext heading insertion will prompt for heading title when
1168 there is no active region.
1169 - When the point is at a heading, the heading insertion
1170 commands will replace the heading at point with a heading of
1171 the requested level and type.
1172 - When there is no active region, the bold, italic, code, link,
1173 and image insertion commands will operate on the word at
1174 point, if any, so that you don't have to have an active
1175 selection for simple modifications.
1176 - Repeating the bold, italic, or code insertion commands when
1177 the point is at an element of the corresponding type will
1178 remove the markup.
1179 - Indentation of preformatted text and blockquotes will be
1180 adjusted automatically in contexts where more indentation is
1181 required, as in nested lists. (For example, in Markdown, a
1182 preformatted text block inside a first-level list item must
1183 have eight spaces of indentation.)
1184 - Improved reference link insertion with label completion:
1185 + Use word at point as link text, if possible, when there
1186 is no active region.
1187 + Tab completion of reference labels from the set of
1188 currently defined references.
1189 + Reference link insertion no longer prompts for a URL or
1190 title if the label is already defined.
1191 + If no URL is given, create an empty reference definition
1192 and move the point there.
1193 - Basic reference-style image markup insertion.
1194 - Multiple horizontal rule styles, `markdown-hr-strings`,
1195 customizable as a list of strings, which can be cycled
1196 through.
1197 - New URL insertion command for inserting plain URLs delimited
1198 by angle brackets (<kbd>C-c C-a u</kbd>). Works on URL at
1199 point, if any, when there is no active region.
1200 - Generally improved insertion commands with respect to
1201 insertion of surrounding whitespace and point position after
1202 insertion (e.g., ensuring blank lines before and after newly
1203 inserted headings and horizontal rules).
1204 - Unified link following: open links in a browser and wiki
1205 links in a new buffer with the same keybinding (<kbd>C-c
1206 C-o</kbd>). This supersedes the separate wiki link following
1207 command (<kbd>C-c C-w</kbd>).
1208 - Generalized link movement and following: move between and
1209 open all link types (inline, reference, wiki, angle URIs)
1210 using the same key bindings (<kbd>M-n</kbd> and
1211 <kbd>M-p</kbd>). Previously, these commands only moved
1212 between wiki links, but with the above following enhancement,
1213 moving between hyperlinks of all types is more useful.
1214 - Syntax highlighting for GFM quoted code blocks with an
1215 optional language keyword.
1216 - Dynamic loading and unloading for math support with
1217 refontification.
1218 - Allow underscores and colons in equation labels in math mode.
1219 - Syntax highlighting improvements: faster identification of
1220 preformatted blocks. Markdown Mode adheres to the four space
1221 rule for nested list items: in a list item of level _n_,
1222 preformatted text must be indented at least 4(_n_ + 1)
1223 spaces.
1224 - More inclusive blockquote regular expression highlights
1225 blockquotes with leading indentation, when appropriate.
1226 - Regular expression optimization for URI matching.
1227 - Numerous other improvements for more accurate syntax
1228 highlighting.
1229 - Respect hard line breaks when filling paragraphs.
1230 - Add indentation positions: preceding list markers and pre
1231 block position.
1232 - Use button-map for navigating undefined references, so that
1233 references can be navigated via the keyboard by pressing
1234 <kbd>TAB</kbd> and <kbd>S-TAB</kbd>.
1235 - Use newer `use-region-p` when possible to check for active
1236 region, with fallbacks for older Emacsen and Xemacs.
1237 - Clean up whitespace after deleting footnote text.
1238 - Use adaptive filling for list items and blockquotes.
1239 - Treat all list items (any marker type) the same way with respect
1240 to filling.
1241 - Retain the `>` prefix when filling blockquotes.
1242 - Fill list items inside of blockquotes.
1243 - Numerous other internal improvements to make the code base
1244 more robust.
1246 * Bug fixes:
1248 - Fix bug in heading visibility cycling introduced in version
1249 1.9 where the level of headings was being calculated
1250 incorrectly.
1251 - Fix problems inserting ATX headings at end of buffer.
1252 - Support small Setext headings (with fewer than three
1253 characters).
1254 - Several improvements to inline code syntax highlighting.
1255 - Fix some edge cases regarding escaping, spaces, etc. for bold
1256 and italic font lock.
1257 - Prohibit newlines and tabs immediately after opening bold and
1258 italic delimiters. This fixes a bug where italics would not
1259 be highlighted following a horizontal rule
1260 - Improved multi-line font lock performance for large files.
1261 - Improved multi-line font lock at beginning of buffer.
1262 - List items with any of the three markers are filled in the
1263 same way (previously list items starting with `+` were not
1264 filled with hanging indentation).
1265 - Fix end detection for empty list items. Don't skip over the
1266 whitespace following the marker on the same line.
1267 Previously, empty list items were not being detected properly
1268 by `markdown-cur-list-item-bounds` as a result of this.
1269 - Don't exclude `[^]`, which is a valid reference tag (but
1270 let's please stick to alphanumeric characters).
1271 - No longer highlight escaped wiki links.
1272 - Fix line number buttons for reference checking and make all
1273 buttons clickable.
1274 - Fix killing of footnotes with no text.
1275 - Fix escaping in `markdown-xhtml-standalone-regexp`.
1276 - Fix a font-lock edge case involving footnote markers
1277 preceding inline links.
1278 - More accurate font-lock for ATX headings in edge cases.
1279 - Fix killing of footnotes from footnote text.

1373 # Markdown Mode 1.8.1
1375 *August 15, 2011*
1377 Version 1.8.1 is a bugfix version which addresses some minor issues in
1378 version 1.8.
1380 * New features:
1382 - Wiki link features now support aliased or piped wiki links of
1383 the form `[[PageName|link text]]`.
1385 * Bug fixes:
1387 - Fixed an issue, reported by Werner Dittmann, where the
1388 default indentation position would be skipped over when
1389 `auto-fill-mode` was on. This meant that when writing a
1390 normal paragraph, for example, the line would wrap to column
1391 4 instead of column 1.
1392 - Require the `cl` package for `multiple-value-bind`. Thanks
1393 to Werner Dittman for noticing this.
1394 - Remove a leftover debug print message which would announce
1395 "ENTER" in the minibuffer when the enter key was pressed.
1397 # Markdown Mode 1.8
1399 *August 12, 2011*
1401 * New features:
1403 - Add support for following wiki links in a buffer, either with
1404 <kbd>C-c C-f</kbd> or, optionally, <kbd>RET</kbd>, when the
1405 point is at a wiki link.
1406 - Support Markdown processors which do not accept input from
1407 stdin (i.e, Python-Markdown) by adding the
1408 `markdown-command-needs-filename` custom option. Thanks to
1409 Jeremiah Dodds for a patch.
1410 - GitHub-Flavored Markdown mode (`gfm-mode`) turns on
1411 `longlines-mode` and `auto-fill-mode`. Thanks to Edward
1412 O'Connor for the patch.
1413 - Add outline-mode-like keybindings for fast outline navigation
1414 of atx-style headers (see the updated documentation for
1415 details).
1416 - Arbitrary content may to be added to the `<head>` block during
1417 HTML output to allow for flexible local customizations. See
1418 `markdown-xhtml-header-content`.
1419 - New HTML export options: export to a file with
1420 <kbd>C-c C-c e</kbd> or export to a file and view with
1421 <kbd>C-c C-c v</kbd>.
1422 - Support Markdown processors which produce standalone output
1423 (i.e., complete HTML documents). If this is detected, by
1424 matching `markdown-xhtml-standalone-regexp` in the first five
1425 lines of output, then omit the `markdown-mode` header and
1426 footer. Thanks to Philippe Ivaldi for this and the previous
1427 HTML-output-related patches.
1428 - Customizable wiki link following behavior using
1429 `markdown-follow-wiki-link-on-enter`.
1430 - Quick navigation to the previous and next wiki links using
1431 <kbd>M-p</kbd> and <kbd>M-n</kbd>.
1432 - Wiki links to non-existent files (missing links) are
1433 highlighted differently. Based on functionality from
1434 `wiki-mode` by Alex Schroeder. Thanks to Eric Merritt for
1435 patches.
1437 * Improvements:
1439 - Improve syntax highlighting of preformatted text blocks to
1440 better distinguish them from list items with hanging
1441 indentation and nested list items.
1442 - Match italic and bold text and inline code fragments across
1443 line breaks, within a single block, but prevent them from
1444 matching across blocks.
1445 - Generally improve multi-line font lock by extending the search
1446 region to include full blocks.
1447 - Make indentation work when the previous line is not indented.
1448 - Set tab width to 4, the natural tab width for Markdown
1449 documents.
1450 - Stop announcing "TAB" in the minibuffer when tab is pressed.
1451 - Use `html-mode` for viewing Markdown output.
1452 - Ensure Markdown output buffer is always raised, even when the
1453 output is short.
1454 - Make sure horizontal rules inserted by <kbd>C-c -</kbd>
1455 (`markdown-insert-hr`) are surrounded by blank lines.
1456 - Added an `autoload` cookie. Thanks to Peter S. Galbraith for
1457 the patch.
1458 - Support a customizable horizontal rule string
1459 `markdown-hr-string`. This replaces the previous but less
1460 flexible custom option `markdown-hr-length`, which has been
1461 removed.
1462 - Followed wiki links are opened using `markdown-mode`.
1464 * Bug fixes:
1466 - Fixed an issue, reported by Joost Kremners, where for
1467 multi-line lists, the position of the list marker was not
1468 being added to the list of possible indentation levels.
1469 - Avoid a problem where indentation positions were getting
1470 skipped over when tab cycling.
1471 - Fixed an issue when column 0 is the natural automatic
1472 indentation stop.
1473 - Prevent infinite loops in blockquote (<kbd>C-c C-s b</kbd>)
1474 and preformatted (<kbd>C-c C-s p</kbd>) block insertion while
1475 at the beginning or end of the buffer.
1477 # Markdown Mode 1.7
1479 *October 1, 2009*
1481 * New features:
1483 - Support filling of list items.
1484 - Allow customization of font-lock faces (thanks to intrigeri
1485 for the patch).
1486 - Automatic indentation when pressing enter or tab (with
1487 cycling upon subsequent tab presses) (thanks to Bryan Kyle).
1488 - Generate real XHTML for previewing (thanks to Hilko Bengen
1489 for the patch). This fixes [Debian bug #490865](http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=490865). The CSS
1490 stylesheet for XHTML output is customizable via
1491 `markdown-css-path` (thanks to Ankit Solanki for the patch).
1492 - Better URL matching (protocols are customizable through
1493 `markdown-uri-types`).
1494 - LaTeX syntax highlighting can be enabled or disabled using
1495 the customize system (`markdown-enable-math`).
1496 - Support for HTML comments (font lock, `comment-dwim`, etc.).
1497 - Support filling of definition lists (thanks to Peter Williams
1498 for the patch).
1500 * Improvements:
1502 - Add support level 5 and 6 atx-style headers (thanks to Alec
1503 Resnick for the report).
1504 - Fill-paragraph no longer breaks lines inside of square
1505 brackets (thanks to Peter Williams for the patch).
1507 * Bug fixes:
1509 - Fixed several font lock issues.
1510 - Fixed a bug where pressing enter did nothing in
1511 longlines-mode (thanks to Ankit Solanki for the patch).
1512 - Fixed a problem where Emacs snapshot would hang during
1513 `markdown-enter` and `markdown-cycle` (thanks to Alec Resnick
1514 for the report).
1515 - Fixed an issue with auto-fill-mode and markdown-mode's
1516 indentation (thanks to Joost Kremers for the report and
1517 analysis).
1519 # Markdown Mode 1.6
1521 *June 4, 2008*
1523 * **Breaking changes:**
1525 - Rename `blockquote-region` to `markdown-blockquote-region` in
1526 accordance with the Emacs major mode coding conventions.
1527 - Several new keybindings.
1528 - Reverted to using colors instead of bold, italic, and
1529 fixed-width faces.
1531 * New features:
1533 - Implemented org-mode style visibility cycling.
1534 - Support outline minor mode.
1535 - Undefined reference checking (via `C-c C-c c`, using code by
1536 Dmitry Dzhus).
1537 - Wiki links: syntax highlighting and element insertion
1538 (`C-c C-a w`).

1540 - Insertion of preformatted text sections (`C-c C-s p`).
1541 - Font locking for inline URIs and email addresses.

1549 - Properly prefix regex definitions and `wrap-or-insert`
1550 function.
1552 * Bug fixes:

1555 Winton).
1556 - Fix adjacent wiki link font lock bug.
1557 - Support escaping of backticks.
1558 - Many other small font lock tweaks.
1559 - Don't check for `transient-mark-mode` in
1560 `markdown-blockquote-region`. This fixes Debian bug #456592
1561 (thanks to Daniel Burrows for the report).
1562 - Apply Greg Bognar's fix for `markdown` with an active region.
1563 - Don't use the kill ring to store wrapped text.
1565 # Markdown Mode 1.5
1567 *October 11, 2007*
1569 Version 1.5 is a major revision compared to previous releases. The
1570 functionality has not changed very much, all of the keybindings are
1571 the same, but it is internally quite different.
1573 Most of the changes involve syntax highlighting. The regular
1574 expressions have been significantly improved and the corresponding
1575 font lock faces have been tweaked (hopefully for the better, but feel
1576 free to customize them). Various other small bugs have been fixed and
1577 the documentation and website have been updated.
1579 The two changes in functionality, both of which are optional, are
1580 syntax highlighting for embedded mathematics via LaTeX-like
1581 expressions, and highlighting for bracketed wiki links.
1583 [itex]: http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/~distler/blog/itex2MMLcommands.html
1585 # Markdown Mode 1.4
1587 *June 29, 2007*
1589 Version 1.4 includes a small fix to the regular expression syntax to
1590 fix the Emacs 21 "Invalid escape character syntax." error. Thanks to
1591 Edward O'Connor for the fix.
1593 # Markdown Mode 1.3
1595 *June 5, 2007*
1597 Version 1.3 provides syntax highlighting, insertion commands for all
1598 basic HTML elements, and preview commands for viewing the resulting
1599 HTML in a new buffer of an external browser.
1601 # Markdown Mode 1.2
1603 *May 25, 2007*
1605 Version 1.2 adds element insertion commands and keys for links,
1606 horizontal rules, headers, inline code, and bold and italic text.
1608 Added element insertion commands and keys for links, horizontal rules, headers, inline code, and bold and italic text.
1610 # Markdown Mode 1.1
1612 *May 24, 2007*
1614 Version 1.1 is the initial release of Markdown Mode for Emacs, a major
1615 mode to edit Markdown files in Emacs. This version provides basic
1616 syntax highlighting and element insertion commands for Markdown files.
