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

• Added shortcodes for fork-awesome icons (e.g. :fa-picture-o:)
• The code button now adds code fences even if the user selected nothing beforehand
• Code blocks with 'csv' as language render as tables.
• Code blocks with 'markmap' are rendered as a mind map (see the projects website).

• Users can change the pinning state of a note directly from the editor.

Changed
