Cutting Edge (GitHub Only)

  • Fixed: `define_env() was always required in module (#191)
  • Added: trace the case when no module is found (INFO)
  • Improved documentation, particularly about HTML pages
  • Added: parameters j2_comment_start_string and j2_comment_end_string to plugin's parameters, to specify alternate markers for comments.
  • Added the multiline parameter force_render_paths in the config file, to specify directories or file patterns to be rendered for the case when render_by_default = false (the render_macros parameter in the YAML header of the page has the last word).

1.0.5, 2023-10-31

  • Added: git.short_tag (#183)
  • Added: Mermaid diagrams in the documentation (Readthedocs)
  • Fixed: Changelog was no longer displayed (#186)

1.0.4, 2023-08-07

  • Fixed: Warning due to filter issue with mkdocs >= 1.5
  • Fixed: Debug html tables (including for macro_info()) are now readable also in dark mode.

1.0.2, 2023-07-02

  • Added: it is now possible to use macros in page titles, in the nav section of the yaml file, or in the level 1 titles; the macros are correctly interpreted in the navigation part of the page.

1.0.1, 2023-05-25

1.0.0-alpha, 2023-04-23

  • Improved user guide, with introduction of two new pages: "Controlling macro rendering" and "Post production".

  • Fixed: (#158) In modules, on_pre_page_macros(), the env.markdown attribute is now available to create a header or footer.

  • Changed: In on_post_page_macros() use env.markdown instead of env.raw_markdown, for the same purpose.

  • Added: (#162) Allow opt-in of page rendering, by using parameter render_macros: true in yaml header of the page (requires render_by_default:false in the macro parameters, in the config file).

  • Fixed: macro_info() now generates a header of category 2, so as to be used with other material in the same page, and not confuse the macro generators.

  • Changed: ignore_macros: true in page header is deprecated. Use render_macros: false instead.

  • Fixed: issues #155 (documentation type), #143 (git.tab), #135 (indicate page where rendering failed).

  • Bump version to 1.1.0 to acknowledge that API is stable.

0.6.4, 2022-01-27

  • Fixed: (#118) {{ git.date }} is now committer date (no longer author date).
  • Added: new git info elements (author email, committer, committer email); documentation was updated
  • Added: by default, unknown variables in a markdown page ({{ foo }}) are no longer replaced by blanks but displayed as is (DebugUndefined) (#117); for better compatibility with other plugins or error detection
