Changes for version 6.00 - 2021-12-25

  • Add a new *.spin input file for docknot spin that points to an external file with instructions for how to convert it to HTML. Via this mechanism, support formatting Markdown files as HTML via docknot spin. This support requires the pandoc program be installed. The path to pandoc may be specified in the DocKnot global configuration file.
  • Support *.spin pointers in addition to *.rpod pointers for external POD files. The command-line flags used in *.rpod pointers are replaced by the title and options key of the *.spin file. *.rpod files are deprecated and support will be removed in a future version of DocKnot.
  • Add spin_thread_output method to App::DocKnot::Spin::Thread, intended to convert thread to HTML as part of a conversion pipeline of a non-thread input file, while still using sitemap information and generating the page footer. DocKnot now depends on Path::Tiny.
  • Support creating distributions from branches named main rather than master. The first of main or master that's found in the repository will be used.
  • Move some utility functions into a new App::DocKnot::Util module. This is primarily intended for internal use by other App::DocKnot modules.
  • Fix unintended localization of dates in RSS output, which are supposed to be RFC 2822 dates and therefore always use English month and day of week names. Thanks to Slaven Rezić for testing.
  • Add load_yaml_file method to App::DocKnot, which loads a YAML file with schema checking.
  • Fix small whitespace problems in thread output.
