CTAN update: markdown

Vít Starý Novotný submitted an update to the

                    markdown

package.

Version:  3.8.0-0-ga4bab835 2024-10-31
License:  lppl1.3c

Summary description:  Converting and rendering markdown documents inside TeX

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Development:

 - Add support for versioned themes and add new Lua option `experimental`.
   (#466, #512, #514, [matrix.org][matrix-514] reviewed by @TeXhackse, #521)

   The option `experimental` enables experimental features that are planned to
   be the new default in the next major release of the Markdown package.

   At the moment, this just means that the version `experimental` of the theme
   `witiko/markdown/defaults` will be loaded and warnings for hard-deprecated
   features will become errors. However, the effects may extend to other areas
   in the future as well.

 - Add first-class support for YAML documents. (#452, #473, #524)
   - Add plain TeX macros `\yamlSetup`, `\yamlInput`, `\yamlBegin`, and `\yamlEnd`.
   - Add LaTeX environment `yaml` and redefine command `\yamlInput` for LaTeX.
   - Add ConTeXt commands `\setupyaml`, `\inputyaml`, `\startyaml`, and `\stopyaml`.

 Documentation:

 - Document LaTeX hooks. (#464, #507)

 Defaults:

 - Improve the compatibility of the default LaTeX packages with PDF tagging:
   (#466, #512, #514, #521, reported and consulted by @u-fischer)

   - In TeX engines other than LuaTeX, use the package soul instead of the
     package soulutf8 in TeX Live ≥ 2023.

   - In LuaLaTeX, use the package lua-ul for strike-through/mark renderer
     prototypes instead of the package soul.

   - Use the package enumitem for tight and fancy lists instead of the package
     paralist.

     This is a breaking change that is marked as experimental. To enable it,
     either use the package option `experimental` or specify any test phase in
     the document metadata:

     1. `\usepackage[experimental]{markdown}`
     2. `\DocumentMetadata{testphase=phase-III}`

 - Define LaTeX renderers for image identifiers.
   (#520, suggested by @jurf, 6f3dcd0c, 478530f, [matrix.org][matrix-520])

   This establishes a reliable method for authors to reference figures within Markdown:

   ``` tex
   \documentclass{article}
   \usepackage[link_attributes, relative_references]{markdown}
   \begin{document}
   \begin{markdown}

   {#example-image-id}

   See Figure <#example-image-id>.

   \end{markdown}
   \end{document}
   ```

 - Set correct category codes for version 3 of the package minted. (39980934)

 Continuous Integration:

 - Only use self-hosted runners for the quick CI in pull requests.
   For full CI outside pull requests, use GitHub-hosted runners.
