5 * **Breaking changes:**
7 - Rename internal `markdown-link-link` to `markdown-link-url`
9 - The old inline image toggling command <kbd>C-c C-i C-t</kbd>
10 should be considered deprecated by <kbd>C-c C-x C-i</kbd> and
11 may be removed in the near future. Toggling keybindings are
12 currently being grouped under <kbd>C-c C-x</kbd>.
13 - `markdown-blockquote-face` is now applied to the entire
14 blockquote, including the leading `>`, so it can be used to
15 apply a background if desired.
16 - In `markdown-regex-header`, groups 4 and 6 now include
17 whitespace surrounding hash marks in atx headings.
18 - Font lock for `~~strikethrough~~` is now supported in
19 `markdown-mode` in addition to `gfm-mode`.
20 - Introduced a new face for horizontal rules: `markdown-hr-face`.
21 Previously, `markdown-header-delimiter-face` was used.
22 - Markdown Mode is now distributed under the GNU GPL version 3
24 - Rename `markdown-fill-forward-paragraph-function` to
25 `markdown-fill-forward-paragraph`.
29 - Markup hiding: Add a custom variable `markdown-hide-markup`,
30 which determines whether to hide or otherwise beautify
31 Markdown markup. For example, for inline links the brackets,
32 URL, and title will be hidden and only the (clickable) link
33 text will remain. The URL can be seen by hovering with the
34 mouse pointer and edited by deleting one of the invisible
35 brackets or parentheses. This can be toggled interactively
36 using <kbd>C-c C-x C-m</kbd> (`markdown-toggle-markup-hiding`).
37 This setting supersedes URL hiding (below). ([GH-130][])
38 - Unicode bullets are used to replace ASCII list item markers
39 for unordered lists when markup hiding is enabled. The list
40 of characters used, in order of list level, can be specified
41 by setting the variable `markdown-list-item-bullets`.
43 - When markup hiding is enabled, the characters used for
44 replacing certain markup can be changed by customizing the
45 corresponding variables:
46 `markdown-blockquote-display-char`,
47 `markdown-hr-display-char`, and
48 `markdown-definition-display-char`.
49 - URL and reference label hiding: URLs for inline links and
50 labels for reference links are now hidden by default. This is
51 configurable via `markdown-hide-urls`. URLs will appear as
52 `[link](∞)` instead of
53 `[link](http://perhaps.a/very/long/url/)`. To change the
54 placeholder character used, set `markdown-url-compose-char`.
55 This feature can be toggled using <kbd>C-c C-x C-l</kbd>
56 (`markdown-toggle-url-hiding`). If full markup hiding (above)
57 is enabled, then URL hiding has no additional effect.
58 - Native code block font-lock: Add a custom variable
59 `markdown-fontify-code-blocks-natively`, which determines
60 whether to fontify code in code blocks using the native major
61 mode. This only works for fenced code blocks where the
62 language is specified where we can automatically determine the
63 appropriate mode to use. The language to mode mapping may be
64 customized by setting the variable `markdown-code-lang-modes`.
65 ([GH-123][], [GH-185][])
66 - When the `[edit-indirect](https://github.com/Fanael/edit-indirect/)`
67 package is installed, <kbd>C-c '</kbd> (`markdown-edit-code-block`)
68 can be used to edit a code block in an indirect buffer in the native
69 major mode. Press <kbd>C-c C-c</kbd> to commit changes and return
70 or <kbd>C-c C-k</kbd> to cancel.
71 - Add command <kbd>C-c C-x C-f</kbd> for toggling native font lock
72 for code blocks (`markdown-toggle-fontify-code-blocks-natively`).
73 - Add "page" movement, marking, and narrowing commands, where a
74 "page" in Markdown is defined to be a top-level subtree:
75 `markdown-forward-page` (<kbd>C-x ]</kbd>),
76 `markdown-backward-page` (<kbd>C-x [</kbd>),
77 `markdown-mark-page` (<kbd>C-x C-p</kbd>), and
78 `markdown-narrow-to-page` (<kbd>C-x n p</kbd>). ([GH-191][])
79 - Add subtree marking and narrowing functions:
80 `markdown-mark-subtree` (<kbd>C-c C-M-h</kbd>) and
81 `markdown-narrow-to-subtree` (<kbd>C-x n s</kbd>).
83 - Add plain text block movement commands: <kbd>C-M-{</kbd>
84 (`markdown-beginning-of-text-block`) and <kbd>C-M-}</kbd>
85 (`markdown-end-of-text-block`). To mark a plain text block,
86 use <kbd>C-c M-h</kbd> (`markdown-mark-text-block`).
88 - Add `subtree` as a possible value for
89 `markdown-reference-location` and
90 `markdown-footnote-location`.
91 - Ask flyspell to ignore words in URLs, code fragments,
92 comments, and reference labels.
93 - Make inline links, reference links, angle bracket URLs, and
95 - Add an additional keybinding for toggling inline image
96 display, <kbd>C-c C-x C-i</kbd>.
97 - Support Leanpub blocks (asides, info blocks, warnings, etc.).
98 These are simple extensions of the usual blockquote syntax.
99 - Font lock, with markup hiding, for subscripts (e.g., `H~2~0`)
100 and superscripts (e.g., `334^10^`). Thanks to Syohei Yoshida
101 for a patch on which this is based. ([GH-134][])
102 - Add basic font-lock support for inline attribute lists or
103 inline identifiers used by Pandoc, Python Markdown, PHP
104 Markdown Extra, Leanpub, etc.
105 - Add basic font-lock support for Leanpub section identifers and
110 - Document customizable variables added in version 2.2 with
111 `:package-version` tags.
112 - Better consistency of function names: predicate functions
113 ending in `-p` shouldn't modify match data.
114 - Generalize rebinding of block movement commands in case users
115 have customized `{forward,backward,mark}-paragraph` bindings.
116 - Adjust point so that it is left at beginning of setext
117 headings in heading navigation commands.
118 - Prevent inline link matching in code blocks.
119 - When inserting a new reference definition, don't add blank
120 line after existing reference definitions.
121 - `markdown-toggle-inline-images` now displays the status in the
123 - Increased default heading scaling range slightly, to make
124 level differences more pronounced when markup is hidden.
125 - Reuse existing windows, when possible, rather than splitting
126 again in preferred direction. ([GH-129][])
127 - Update known languages in `markdown-gfm-recognized-languages`.
128 - Filling with `fill-region` now leaves code blocks unmodified.
130 - Avoid error when live-previewing a buffer that's not visiting
131 a file. Thanks to Tianxiang Xiong for a patch.
132 ([GH-200][], [GH-201][])
133 - Adaptive filling for Leanpub blocks.
137 - Fix spurious bold/italic faces in inline code. ([GH-172][])
138 - Fix defun movement at end of buffer. ([GH-197][])
139 - Fix bug with adjacent bold font-locking in a list
141 - Prevent matching italics, bold, and inline code in comments.
142 - Prevent matching italics and bold in URLs.

160 Version 2.2 is a major new stable release and all users are encouraged
161 to upgrade. Thanks to everyone who submitted bug reports, feature
162 suggestions, and especially patches.
164 * **Breaking changes:**
166 - Now use <kbd>C-c C-j</kbd> for inserting list items, like
167 AUCTeX and similar to other programming modes. Since <kbd>C-c
168 C-j</kbd> was used for `markdown-jump` (for moving between
169 reference link/footnote markers and their definitions), it has
170 been changed to <kbd>C-c C-l</kbd> (think "leap" or "loop"
171 instead of jump). It's also close to <kbd>C-c C-o</kbd> (used
172 for opening links). ([GH-26][])
173 - Insertion of `<kbd>` tags with <kbd>C-c C-s k</kbd> or
174 `markdown-insert-kbd`.
175 - Add YAML metadata parsing. Also allow multiple Pandoc
176 metadata, with tests. Thanks to Danny McClanahan and Syohei
177 Yoshida. ([GH-66][], [GH-91][], [GH-155][], [GH-156][],
179 - Change the behavior of <kbd>C-c C-o</kbd>
180 (`markdown-follow-link-at-point`) so that if a link is a
181 complete URL, it will open in a browser. Otherwise, open it
182 with `find-file` after stripping anchors and/or query strings.
184 - Make font lock for missing wiki links optional and disabled by
185 default. Add new custom variable
186 `markdown-wiki-link-fontify-missing` to control this behavior.
187 - The _function_ `markdown-enable-math` has been made obsolete
188 and renamed to `markdown-toggle-math`. When called without an
189 argument, the result is to toggle this extension rather than
194 - Filling for definition list items. ([GH-13][])
195 - Added option `markdown-gfm-downcase-languages` to use
196 lowercase language name in GFM code blocks.
197 ([GH-71][], [GH-73][])
198 - Customizable live preview window split direction via
199 `markdown-split-window-direction`. ([GH-129][], [GH-188][])
200 - Variable-height headings via
201 `markdown-header-scaling`. ([GH-121][])
202 - Implement inline image previews via
203 `markdown-toggle-inline-images` and <kbd>C-c C-i C-t</kbd>.
204 Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-122][], [GH-128][])
205 - Added `markdown-wiki-link-search-subdirectories` to enable
206 searching for wiki link files in subdirectories. ([GH-174][])
207 - Added option to automatically continue lists when `RET` is
208 pressed. `markdown-indent-on-enter` now has three settings.
210 - Match fenced code blocks with language and info strings.
212 - Add smart Markdown block navigation commands <kbd>M-{</kbd>
213 and <kbd>M-}</kbd>. These replace the
214 regular-expression-based "paragraph" movement commands
215 provided by Emacs, which do not recognize Markdown syntax
216 (e.g., headings inside of code blocks). Also use
217 <kbd>M-h</kbd> for marking a block and <kbd>C-x n b</kbd> to
219 - Add `markdown-nested-imenu-heading-index` as a customizable
220 option. It may be disabled to instead generate a flat imenu
222 - Basic font lock and filling for definition lists. As a side
223 effect, list item navigation and movement should also work.
224 - Add command for toggling GFM task list items via
225 <kbd>C-c C-c C-x</kbd> (`markdown-toggle-gfm-checkbox`).
226 - Ability to toggle wiki link support via a new custom variable
227 `markdown-enable-wiki-links`. This may be set in a file local
228 variable. Also added function `markdown-toggle-wiki-links`
233 - Menubar reorganization. Grouped related actions together,
234 added missing commands, and added several toggle options to
235 the menu. ([GH-147][])
236 - Use `toggle` menu style for macOS compatibility.
237 - Remove autoload for `.text` files. Thanks to Steve Purcell.
239 - Set own `adaptive-fill-regexp` so that `fill-paragraph` works
240 for list items. Thanks to Syohei Yoshida for the patch.
241 ([GH-79][], [GH-80][])
242 - Suppress minibuffer output when generated HTML is small.
243 Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-83][], [GH-86][])
244 - Use GitHub fetcher for `markdown-mode` on MELPA. ([GH-84][])
245 - Improve fenced code block parsing. Thanks to Danny McClanahan.
246 ([GH-85][], [GH-95][])
247 - Markdown Mode is now automatically tested against Emacs
248 24.1-24.5 and 25.1-25.2. ([GH-99][])
249 - Make live-preview mode follow min or max point. Thanks to
250 Danny McClanahan. ([GH-102][])
251 - Improved font-lock performance. ([GH-119][])
252 - Maintain cursor position when indenting instead of moving to
253 the beginning of the line. Thanks to Isaac Hodes.
255 - Add used language names to front of list of known languages.
257 - Support basic TOML metadata. Thanks to Jorge Israel Peña.
259 - Prohibit setext heading text from starting with hyphens,
260 spaces or tabs, so that there is no ambiguity between setext
261 headings and in-progress lists. ([GH-139][], [GH-143][])
262 - Ignore heading lines in `fill-paragraph`. Thanks to Syohei
263 Yoshida. ([GH-159][], [GH-162][])
264 - Improve matching of multiple math blocks with non-math text in
265 between. Thanks to Dave Kleinschmidt for a patch.
267 - Prevent `fill-paragraph` from filling lines in code blocks.
269 - Fix font lock for links with URLs containing parentheses.
271 - `fill-paragraph` now respects paragraph boundaries within
272 blockquotes. ([GH-186][])
273 - Set mark when calling `markdown-up-heading`.
274 - Improved font locking after empty GFM code block insertion.
275 - Fix spurious italics from underscores in URLs.
276 - Respect `font-lock-mode` being nil. Only call
277 `font-lock-refresh-defaults` if `font-lock-mode` is non-nil to
278 prevent it from being turned on when disabled by user. Thanks
279 to Tom May for the patch.
280 - Fix list item insertion on ordered lists with hash marks
281 (Pandoc "fancy lists").
282 - Treat polymode blocks as code blocks when parsing the buffer.
283 - Require whitespace atx heading hashmarks, as required by the
284 original atx specification (but not enforced by Markdown.pl).
285 The benefit is that it prevents false positives for #hashtags
286 and things like "Engine #1" when lines wrap.
287 - Complete heading markup when point is on an setext heading and
288 `markdown-insert-header-dwim` is invoked
289 (<kbd>C-c C-t h</kbd>).
290 - Better point position after inserting asymmetric atx headings.
294 - Fix `scripts/get-recognized-gfm-languages.el`, which skipped
295 languages with spaces. ([GH-72][], [GH-82][])
296 - `README.md` specified Arch (AUR) package (`emacs-goodies-el`),
297 which did not exist. ([GH-74][])
298 - Don't accidentally override user entries in `auto-mode-alist`.
300 - Fix `markdown-cycle` issue with heading-like strings in code
301 blocks. Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-75][], [GH-76][])
302 - Fix moving same level heading over code block issue. Thanks
303 to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-77][], [GH-78][])
304 - Don't insert empty title strings for links. Thanks to
305 Sebastian Wiesner for the patch. ([GH-89][])
306 - Fix possible infinite loop in `markdown-cleanup-list-numbers`.
307 Thanks to Danny McClanahan. ([GH-98][], [GH-100][])
308 - Fix an args-out-of-range error due to the syntax-propertize
309 function returning point which is larger than `point-max`.
310 Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-142][])
311 - Respect narrowed region in `markdown-find-previous-prop`.
312 Thanks to Vitalie Spinu. ([GH-109][])
313 - Move point at least 1 char in
314 `markdown-match-propertized-text` to avoid possible infinite
315 loop in font-lock. Thanks to Vitalie Spinu. ([GH-110][])
316 - Fix issues where buffers could be marked as modified when no
317 modifications were made. ([GH-115][], [GH-116][], [GH-146][])
318 - Fix an issue where comments of the form `<!-- > comment -->`
319 were not correctly identified. ([GH-117][])
320 - Prevent spurious bold fontification. Thanks to Kévin Le
321 Gouguec. ([GH-124][])
322 - Keep metadata visible when cycling visibility. ([GH-136][])
323 - `markdown-syntax-propertize-extend-region` should not
324 overwrite match-data, which caused issues with
325 `replace-regexp`, etc. ([GH-104][], [GH-105][])
326 - Don't list heading-like lines in code blocks or metadata in
327 imenu. Thanks to Syohei Yoshida. ([GH-145][], [GH-154][])
328 - Fix an issue where fill paragraph wouldn't work following
329 unclosed left square brackets. ([GH-148][], [GH-161][])
330 - Fix default language presented when inserting GFM code blocks.
331 Thanks to Conal Elliot for a patch. ([GH-152][])
332 - Backspace now always deletes characters if a region is
333 specified. Thanks to Syohei Yoshida.
334 ([GH-166][], [GH-167][])
335 - Fix `markdown-header-face` inherit from nil error, e.g., when
336 exporting HTML from an Org mode file containing a Markdown
337 source block. Thanks to Moogen Tian for a patch.
338 ([GH-190][], [GH-193][])
339 - Inserting a reference link no longer causes an "args out of
340 range" commit error when the existing reference label is a
341 single commit character.
342 - Fix to honor location setting when inserting reference
344 - Fixed an issue where, if there is special markup at the end of
345 the buffer, deleting a character backward would cause the
346 font-lock faces to disappear.
347 - Fix incorrect matching of italic text due to underscores in
348 math mode. Thanks also to Dave Kleinschmidt.
349 - Fix italic highlighting issue when each line or both lines are list.
350 - Handle false positive italics across list items.

425 Version 2.1 is a major new stable release and all users are encouraged
426 to upgrade. The many new features and bug fixes included are
429 Markdown Mode is developed and tested primarily for compatibility with

444 * **Breaking changes:**
446 - In GFM Mode, `visual-line-mode` is no longer enabled by
447 default. A `gfm-mode-hook` was added, which could be used to
448 keep `visual-line-mode` on by default in `gfm-mode`.

454 (<kbd>C-c C-c l</kbd>) via the native `eww` browser.
455 ([GH-36][], [GH-53][], [GH-57][], [GH-58][], [GH-63][])
456 - Use `autoload` to enable `markdown-mode` in `auto-mode-alist`
457 for files with `.text`, `.markdown`, and `.md` extensions.

464 `markdown-insert-reference-link-dwim` is used when the point
465 is at an inline link.
466 - Allow linking to multiple stylesheets in `markdown-css-paths`
467 list. Use stylesheets for both preview and export. Previous
468 `markdown-css-path` (singular) is now deprecated.

475 `gfm-mode`). ([GH-2][])
476 - New function `markdown-electric-backquote` will prompt for a
477 language name for GFM code blocks. This can be disabled by
478 customizing the variable
479 `markdown-gfm-use-electric-backquote`. ([GH-9][])
480 - Completion of programming language names for GFM code blocks.
481 A list of pre-defined languages is included, but this can be

493 links relative to parent directories. Enable this by setting
494 `markdown-wiki-link-search-parent-directories`.
495 ([GH-8][], [GH-21][])
499 - General font lock improvements for comments, code blocks,
500 blockquotes, headings, horizontal rules, bold, and italics.

519 - Improved Setext header insertion to support wide characters.
520 - Fix expensive `paragraph-separate` regular expression.

614 Version 2.0 is a major new stable releaes with many new features,
615 including some changes to keybindings for element insertion and
616 outline navigation. In summary, Markdown Mode now has improved
617 keybdinings, smarter markup insertion commands, a general markup
618 removal command, markup completion (normalization), markup promotion
619 and demotion, list and region editing, many syntax highlighting
620 improvements, new and improved movement commands, and generalized link
621 following and movement.
623 * **Breaking changes:**
625 - Physical style element insertion commands prefixed by
626 <kbd>C-c C-p</kbd> have been removed in favor of their
627 logical style counterparts prefixed by <kbd>C-c C-s</kbd>.
628 - Shift is now the preferred way to distinguish keybindings for
629 two related elements. For example, you can insert an inline
630 link with <kbd>C-c C-a l</kbd> or a reference link with
631 <kbd>C-c C-a L</kbd>. The latter keybinding is new and
632 preferred over <kbd>C-c C-a r</kbd>, which is deprecated.
633 - Footnote keybindings have been moved away from the
634 <kbd>C-c C-f n</kbd> prefix.
635 - Several other new keybdings have been introduced and are
636 described in more detail below.
637 - Removed wiki link following with `RET` and
638 `markdown-follow-wiki-link-on-enter` setting. Use the
639 unified following (open link) command <kbd>C-c C-o</kbd>
644 - Fast heading insertion with a single command which
645 automatically calculates the type (atx or setext) and level.
646 Prefix with <kbd>C-u</kbd> to promote the heading by one
647 level or <kbd>C-u C-u</kbd> to demote the heading by one
648 level. Headings with a specific level or type can still be
649 inserted quickly with specific keybindings.
650 - Easily kill an element (e.g., a link or reference definition)
651 at the point with <kbd>C-c C-k</kbd> and store the most
652 important part in the kill ring (e.g., the link text or URL).
653 - Markup completion (<kbd>C-c C-]</kbd>) normalizes the markup
654 for an element (e.g., it balances hash marks and removing
655 extra whitespace for atx headings).
656 - Markup promotion and demotion via <kbd>C-c C--</kbd> and
657 <kbd>C-c C-=</kbd>, respectively. The sequences
658 <kbd>M-<up></kbd> and <kbd>M-<down></kbd> may
660 - List editing: move list items up and down with
661 <kbd>M-<up></kbd> and <kbd>M-<down></kbd>.
662 Indent and exdent list items with <kbd>M-<left></kbd>
663 and <kbd>M-<right></kbd>.
664 - Region editing: indent and exdent regions, with tab stops
665 determined by context, using <kbd>C-c <</kbd> and <kbd>C-c
666 ></kbd> (as in `python-mode`).
667 - Smart list item insertion with <kbd>M-RET</kbd>, with
668 indentation and marker determined by the surrounding context.
669 Prefix with <kbd>C-u</kbd> to decrease the indentation by one
670 level or <kbd>C-u C-u</kbd> to increase the indentation one
672 - Quickly jump between reference definitions and
673 reference-style links and between footnote markers and
674 footnote text with <kbd>C-c C-j</kbd>. Create undefined
675 references when jumping from a reference link. When jumping
676 back, present a buffer with buttons for selecting which link
678 - Revised outline navigation commands, following `org-mode`.
679 This frees up the sexp navigation keys <kbd>C-M-f</kbd> and
680 <kbd>C-M-b</kbd> which can be useful in Markdown documents
681 which have many matching delimiters, as well as the defun
682 navigation keys <kbd>C-M-a</kbd> and <kbd>C-M-e</kbd>.
683 - Previous/next section movement with <kbd>C-M-a</kbd> and
684 <kbd>C-M-e</kbd> (in Emacs parlance, this is movement by
685 defun). Mark the current section with <kbd>C-M-h</kbd>.
686 - Previous/next paragraph movement via <kbd>M-{</kbd> and
688 - Previous/next block movement with <kbd>C-u M-{</kbd> and
690 - Customizable reference link location via
691 `markdown-reference-location`.
692 - Font lock for title strings in inline links.
693 - Subtle syntax highlighting for hard line breaks.
694 - In GFM Mode, change italic font lock behavior to match GFM
695 specification regarding underscores in words.
696 - Insertion command (<kbd>C-c C-s P</kbd>) for GFM quoted code
698 - Syntax highlighting for MultiMarkdown metadata and Pandoc
700 - Added before and after export hooks
701 `markdown-before-export-hook` and
702 `markdown-after-export-hook`.
703 - Added a library of regression tests which currently contains
708 - ATX heading insertion will use current line as heading text
709 if not blank and there is no active region.
710 - Setext heading insertion will prompt for heading title when
711 there is no active region.
712 - When the point is at a heading, the heading insertion
713 commands will replace the heading at point with a heading of
714 the requested level and type.
715 - When there is no active region, the bold, italic, code, link,
716 and image insertion commands will operate on the word at
717 point, if any, so that you don't have to have an active
718 selection for simple modifications.
719 - Repeating the bold, italic, or code insertion commands when
720 the point is at an element of the corresponding type will
722 - Indentation of preformatted text and blockquotes will be
723 adjusted automatically in contexts where more indentation is
724 required, as in nested lists. (For example, in Markdown, a
725 preformatted text block inside a first-level list item must
726 have eight spaces of indentation.)
727 - Improved reference link insertion with label completion:
728 + Use word at point as link text, if possible, when there
730 + Tab completion of reference labels from the set of
731 currently defined references.
732 + Reference link insertion no longer prompts for a URL or
733 title if the label is already defined.
734 + If no URL is given, create an empty reference definition
735 and move the point there.
736 - Basic reference-style image markup insertion.
737 - Multiple horizontal rule styles, `markdown-hr-strings`,
738 customizable as a list of strings, which can be cycled
740 - New URL insertion command for inserting plain URLs delimited
741 by angle brackets (<kbd>C-c C-a u</kbd>). Works on URL at
742 point, if any, when there is no active region.
743 - Generally improved insertion commands with respect to
744 insertion of surrounding whitespace and point position after
745 insertion (e.g., ensuring blank lines before and after newly
746 inserted headings and horizontal rules).
747 - Unified link following: open links in a browser and wiki
748 links in a new buffer with the same keybinding (<kbd>C-c
749 C-o</kbd>). This supercedes the separate wiki link following
750 command (<kbd>C-c C-w</kbd>).
751 - Generalized link movement and following: move between and
752 open all link types (inline, reference, wiki, angle URIs)
753 using the same key bindings (<kbd>M-n</kbd> and
754 <kbd>M-p</kbd>). Previously, these commands only moved
755 between wiki links, but with the above following enhancement,
756 moving between hyperlinks of all types is more useful.
757 - Syntax highlighting for GFM quoted code blocks with an
758 optional language keyword.
759 - Dynamic loading and unloading for math support with
761 - Allow underscores and colons in equation labels in math mode.
762 - Syntax highlighting improvements: faster identification of
763 preformatted blocks. Markdown Mode adheres to the four space
764 rule for nested list items: in a list item of level _n_,
765 preformatted text must be indented at least 4(_n_ + 1)
767 - More inclusive blockquote regular expression highlights
768 blockquotes with leading indentation, when appropriate.
769 - Regular expression optimization for URI matching.
770 - Numerous other improvements for more accurate syntax
772 - Respect hard line breaks when filling paragraphs.
773 - Add indentation positions: preceding list markers and pre
775 - Use button-map for navigating undefined references, so that
776 references can be navigated via the keyboard by pressing
777 <kbd>TAB</kbd> and <kbd>S-TAB</kbd>.
778 - Use newer `use-region-p` when possible to check for active
779 region, with fallbacks for older Emacsen and Xemacs.
780 - Clean up whitespace after deleting footnote text.
781 - Use adaptive filling for list items and blockquotes.
782 - Treat all list items (any marker type) the same way with respect
784 - Retain the `>` prefix when filling blockquotes.
785 - Fill list items inside of blockquotes.
786 - Numerous other internal improvements to make the code base
791 - Fix bug in heading visibility cycling introduced in version
792 1.9 where the level of headings was being calculated
794 - Fix problems inserting ATX headings at end of buffer.
795 - Support small Setext headings (with fewer than three
797 - Several improvements to inline code syntax highlighting.
798 - Fix some edge cases regarding escaping, spaces, etc. for bold
799 and italic font lock.

802 be highlighted following a horizontal rule
803 - Improved multi-line font lock performance for large files.
804 - Improved multi-line font lock at beginning of buffer.
805 - List items with any of the three markers are filled in the
806 same way (previously list items starting with `+` were not
807 filled with hanging indentation).
808 - Fix end detection for empty list items. Don't skip over the
809 whitespace following the marker on the same line.
810 Previously, empty list items were not being detected properly
811 by `markdown-cur-list-item-bounds` as a result of this.
812 - Don't exclude `[^]`, which is a valid reference tag (but
813 let's please stick to alphanumeric characters).
814 - No longer highlight escaped wiki links.
815 - Fix line number buttons for reference checking and make all
817 - Fix killing of footnotes with no text.
818 - Fix escaping in `markdown-xhtml-standalone-regexp`.
819 - Fix a font-lock edge case involving footnote markers
820 preceding inline links.
821 - More accurate font-lock for ATX headings in edge cases.
822 - Fix killing of footnotes from footnote text.
830 Version 1.9 is a major new stable release with important bug fixes.
834 - Support for setext-style headers in `outline-mode`. Thanks
836 - Font lock for tilde-fenced code blocks.
837 - Reference link insertion (<kbd>C-c C-a r</kbd>).
838 - Support two forms of aliased wiki links:
839 `[[link text|PageName]]` and `[[PageName|link text]]`
840 (`markdown-wiki-link-alias-first`).
841 - Footnote support: font lock and insertion, deletion, and
842 navigation functions for footnotes (prefixed by
843 <kbd>C-c C-f</kbd>; following for wiki links is now
844 <kbd>C-c C-w</kbd>). Thanks to Joost Kremers.
845 - Improved preview and export commands. Thanks to Donald

916 # Markdown Mode 1.8.1
920 Version 1.8.1 is a bugfix version which addresses some minor issues in
925 - Wiki link features now support aliased or piped wiki links of
926 the form `[[PageName|link text]]`.
930 - Fixed an issue, reported by Werner Dittmann, where the
931 default indentation position would be skipped over when
932 `auto-fill-mode` was on. This meant that when writing a
933 normal paragraph, for example, the line would wrap to column
934 4 instead of column 1.
935 - Require the `cl` package for `multiple-value-bind`. Thanks

1112 Version 1.5 is a major revision compared to previous releases. The
1113 functionality has not changed very much, all of the keybindings are
1114 the same, but it is internally quite different.
1116 Most of the changes involve syntax highlighting. The regular
1117 expressions have been significantly improved and the corresponding
1118 font lock faces have been tweaked (hopefully for the better, but feel
1119 free to customize them). Various other small bugs have been fixed and
1120 the documentation and website have been updated.
1122 The two changes in functionality, both of which are optional, are
1123 syntax highlighting for embedded mathematics via LaTeX-like
1124 expressions, and highlighting for bracketed wiki links.
