Summary description: Converting and rendering markdown documents inside TeX
Announcement text:
Documentation: - Document the current limitations of the MikTeX distribution and TeX engines other than LuaTeX. (reported by @obskyr in #566 and by @viocha in #573, escalated upstream by @witiko in [miktex/miktex#1630][miktex-1630], documented by @witiko in #574 and [witiko/lt3luabridge#32][lt3luabridge-32]) These are the current limitations: 1. The filenames of your .tex files may not contain spaces, see also #573. 2. If `-output-directory` is provided, it may not contain spaces and it won't be automatically detected by MikTeX, see also [miktex/miktex#1630][miktex-1630]. Housekeeping: - Mark uses of the deprecated conditional functions `\regex_match:*` for removal after we have dropped support for TeX Live 2024 and earlier. (8cd8bb5f) Deprecation: - Undeprecate `\markdownOptionOutputDir`. (#566, [miktex/miktex#1630][miktex-1630], #574) Due to the lack of support for the automatic detection of `-output-directory` in MikTeX with TeX engines other than LuaTeX (see [miktex/miktex#1630][miktex-1630]), there are still genuine uses of this option. Therefore, it doesn't make sense to deprecate it. [miktex-1630]: https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/1630 [lt3luabridge-32]: https://github.com/Witiko/lt3luabridge/pull/32
