Changelog

[Unreleased]

Deprecations

• This version of HedgeDoc is the last version, that supports the following short code syntax for embedding content. The new way to embed this external content is to put the plain link into a single line of the document.
  • {%youtube someid %} -> https://youtube.com/watch?v=someid
  • {%vimeo 123456789 %} -> https://vimeo.com/123456789
  • {%gist user/12345 %} -> https://gist.github.com/user/12345
  • {%slideshare user/my-awesome-presentation %} -> Embedding removed
  • {%speakerdeck foobar %} -> Embedding removed
  • {%pdf https://example.org/example-pdf.pdf %} -> Embedding removed
• The use of sequence as code block language (Why?)
• Comma-separated definition of tags in the yaml-frontmatter

Removed

• SlideShare embedding
  • If a legacy embedding code is detected, then it will show the link to the presentation instead of the embedded presentation.
• Speakerdeck embedding

• PDF embedding (See #959)
  • If a legacy embedding code is detected, then it will show the link to the pdf instead.
