Switch docs to MKDocs (#602)
Fixes #601. Merged in 6f87b32 from the md3 branch and did a lot of cleanup.
Changes include:
* Removed old docs build tool, templates, etc.
* Added MkDocs config file, etc.
* filename.txt => filename.md
* pythonhost.org/Markdown => Python-Markdown.github.io
* Markdown lint and other cleanup.
* Automate pages deployment in makefile with `mkdocs gh-deploy`
Assumes a git remote is set up named "pages". Do
git remote add pages https://github.com/Python-Markdown/Python-Markdown.github.io.git
... before running `make deploy` the first time.

See the list of changes below for details. - -Python-Markdown version 2.5 supports Python versions 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4. - -Backwards-incompatible Changes ------------------------------- - -* Python-Markdown no longer supports Python version 2.6. You must be using Python - versions 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, or 3.4. - -[importlib]: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/importlib - -* The `force_linenos` configuration key on the [CodeHilite Extension] has been **deprecated** - and will raise a `KeyError` if provided. In the previous release (2.4), it was - issuing a `DeprecationWarning`. The [`linenums`][linenums] keyword should be used - instead, which provides more control of the output. - -[CodeHilite Extension]: extensions/code_hilite.html -[linenums]: extensions/code_hilite.html#usage - -* Both `safe_mode` and the associated `html_replacement_text` keywords will be deprecated - in version 2.6 and will raise a **`PendingDeprecationWarning`** in 2.5. The so-called - "safe mode" was never actually "safe" which has resulted in many people having a false - sense of security when using it. As an alternative, the developers of Python-Markdown - recommend that any untrusted content be passed through an HTML sanitizer (like [Bleach]) - after being converted to HTML by markdown. - - If your code previously looked like this: - - html = markdown.markdown(text, same_mode=True) - - Then it is recommended that you change your code to read something like this: - - import bleach - html = bleach.clean(markdown.markdown(text)) - - If you are not interested in sanitizing untrusted text, but simply desire to escape - raw HTML, then that can be accomplished through an extension which removes HTML parsing: - - from markdown.extensions import Extension - - class EscapeHtml(Extension): - def extendMarkdown(self, md, md_globals): - del md.preprocessors['html_block'] - del md.inlinePatterns['html'] - - html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=[EscapeHtml()]) - - As the HTML would not be parsed with the above Extension, then the serializer will - escape the raw HTML, which is exactly what happens now when `safe_mode="escape"`. - -[Bleach]: https://bleach.readthedocs.io/ - -* Positional arguments on the `markdown.Markdown()` are pending deprecation as are - all except the `text` argument on the `markdown.markdown()` wrapper function. - Only keyword arguments should be used. For example, if your code previously - looked like this: - - html = markdown.markdown(text, ['extra']) - - Then it is recommended that you change it to read something like this: - - html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['extra']) - - !!! Note - This change is being made as a result of deprecating `"safe_mode"` as the - `safe_mode` argument was one of the positional arguments. When that argument - is removed, the two arguments following it will no longer be at the correct - position. It is recommended that you always use keywords when they are supported - for this reason. - -* In previous versions of Python-Markdown, the built-in extensions received - special status and did not require the full path to be provided. Additionally, - third party extensions whose name started with `"mdx_"` received the same - special treatment. This behavior will be deprecated in version 2.6 and will - raise a **`PendingDeprecationWarning`** in 2.5. Ensure that you always use the full - path to your extensions. For example, if you previously did the following: - - markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['extra']) - - You should change your code to the following: - - markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['markdown.extensions.extra']) - - The same applies to the command line: - - $ python -m markdown -x markdown.extensions.extra input.txt - - See the [documentation](reference.html#extensions) for a full explanation - of the current behavior. - -* The previously documented method of appending the extension configuration as - a string to the extension name will be deprecated in Python-Markdown - version 2.6 and will raise a **`PendingDeprecationWarning`** in 2.5. The - [`extension_configs`](reference.html#extension_configs) keyword should - be used instead. See the [documentation](reference.html#extension-configs) - for a full explanation of the current behavior. - -What's New in Python-Markdown 2.5 ---------------------------------- - -* The [Smarty Extension] has had a number of additional configuration settings - added, which allows one to define their own substitutions to better support - languages other than English. Thanks to [Martin Altmayer] for implementing this - feature. - -[Smarty Extension]: extensions/smarty.html -[Martin Altmayer]:https://github.com/MartinAltmayer - -* Named Extensions (strings passed to the [`extensions`][ex] keyword of - `markdown.Markdown`) can now point to any module and/or Class on your PYTHONPATH. - While dot notation was previously supported, a module could not be at the root of - your PYTHONPATH. The name had to contain at least one dot (requiring it to be a - sub-module). This restriction no longer exists. - - Additionally, a Class may be specified in the name. The class must be at the end of - the name (which uses dot notation from PYTHONPATH) and be separated by a colon from - the module. - - Therefore, if you were to import the class like this: - - from path.to.module import SomeExtensionClass - - Then the named extension would comprise this string: - - "path.to.module:SomeExtensionClass" - - This allows multiple extensions to be implemented within the same module and still - accessible when the user is not able to import the extension directly (perhaps from - a template filter or the command line). - - This also means that extension modules are no longer required to include the - `makeExtension` function which returns an instance of the extension class. However, - if the user does not specify the class name (she only provides `"path.to.module"`) - the extension will fail to load without the `makeExtension` function included in - the module. Extension authors will want to document carefully what is required to - load their extensions. - -[ex]: reference.html#extensions - -* The Extension Configuration code has been refactored to make it a little easier - for extension authors to work with configuration settings. As a result, the - [`extension_configs`][ec] keyword now accepts a dictionary rather than requiring - a list of tuples. A list of tuples is still supported so no one needs to change - their existing code. This should also simplify the learning curve for new users. - - Extension authors are encouraged to review the new methods available on the - `markdown.extnesions.Extension` class for handling configuration and adjust their - code going forward. The included extensions provide a model for best practices. - See the [API] documentation for a full explanation. - -[ec]: reference.html#extension_configs -[API]: extensions/api.html#configsettings - -* The [Command Line Interface][cli] now accepts a `--extensions_config` (or `-c`) - option which accepts a file name and passes the parsed content of a [YAML] or - [JSON] file to the [`extension_configs`][ec] keyword of the `markdown.Markdown` - class. The contents of the YAML or JSON must map to a Python Dictionary which - matches the format required by the `extension_configs` keyword. Note that - [PyYAML] is required to parse YAML files. - -[cli]: cli.html#using-extensions -[YAML]: http://yaml.org/ -[JSON]: http://json.org/ -[PyYAML]: http://pyyaml.org/ - -* The [admonition extension][ae] is no longer considered "experimental." - -[ae]: extensions/admonition.html - -* There have been various refactors of the testing framework. While those changes - will not directly effect end users, the code is being better tested which will - benefit everyone. - -* Various bug fixes have been made. See the - [commit log](https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/commits/master) - for a complete history of the changes. |
