Roadmap

Pandoc doesn't have a strict roadmap but this page should serve as an overview about major changes to pandoc that are on our radar.

AST changes

• Attributes for all elements
• changing String to Text everywhere
• a Figure block element, capable of containing multiple images
• short and long captions for tables, figures
• internal links/references to tables and figures
• PageBreak element
• replace Strikeout element with a Deleted element; add an Inserted element
• colspans in tables (and possibly also rowspan)
• change Format from String to a sum type
