I lost track of whether this ever worked for other tools than Quarto but .autolink()
also applies downlit
when the tool is not Quarto. Are we sure we're not losing functionalities here?
We are losing "functionality" (in quotes), but there was always a big caveat in the docs:
Note that the
autolink
argument works best for Quarto-based websites.mkdocs
appears to ignoredownlit
annotations altogether.docute
anddocsify
displaydownlit
annotations, but CSS styling and code highlighting sometimes suffer.
And that's with me only testing other outputs very minimally. Honestly, that functionality always felt really half-baked to me, and I'd feel more comfortable not shipping it at all rather than having something we know doesn't work super well. Especially, when the path to improvement is not clear, and it's doubtful either of us will invest a lot of work on downlit
+docsify
.
Sounds good to me. Also, as you said autolink
never made it to CRAN so it's not really a loss
https://github.com/etiennebacher/altdoc/issues/278
This simplifies code and maintenance for
altdoc
The
autolink
argument is removed, but was never on CRAN so it is not really a "breaking change".
