*** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
*** Remove ~export-block~ element type
For export back-end developers.
So called "Export blocks" are now raw "Special blocks". As
a consequence ~export-block~ type doesn't exist anymore in parser, and
should not have a translator associated in an export back-end.
In order to tell the difference between a special block and a former
export block, a new predicate, ~org-export-raw-special-block-p~ is
implemented.
To put it simply, two steps may be needed to update a back-end
defining export blocks.
1. Remove any ~org-BACKEND-export-block~ function, associated filter
and remove ~export-block~ entry from back-end definition. This
step can be omitted if you want to preserve backward-compatibility
with Org 8.2. In this case, the function and filter will be used
in Org 8.2 but ignored in Org 8.3.
2. If there is a translator for special blocks, e.g.,
~org-BACKEND-special-block~, first check if the current block is an
export block using the predicate and, if that is true, simply
insert raw value, obtained through block's ~:raw-value~
property. E.g.,
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun org-latex-special-block (special-block contents info)
(if (org-export-raw-special-block-p special-block info)
(org-element-property :raw-value special-block)
;; Usual handling for special blocks goes here.
))
#+END_SRC
Note that If BACKEND is a derived back-end and doesn't implement
its own special block translator already, there is nothing to
change. The parent back-end will take care of such blocks.
*** Signature changes
The following functions require an additional argument. See their
docstring for more information.
