2.3

2.3.1 (2026-08-01)

Bug Fixes
  • fix: Validate a colour before writing it for Typst. A CSS named colour, a CSS functional colour, or a typo was wrapped as rgb("…") and reached the compiler, stopping the render with color string contains non-hexadecimal letters. A value is now converted to a hex code first, so a named colour works as it does elsewhere, and anything that cannot be expressed as hex is skipped with a warning like every other format.
Documentation

  • docs: Correct the reference, which said a CSS named colour does not work under Typst and that an unusable value stops the render.

  • docs: Add a documentation website under docs/, built on the atelier project type and published to https://m.canouil.dev/quarto-highlight-text/.

  • docs: Trim README.md to a landing page pointing at the website, and example.qmd to a short starting point to copy.

  • docs: Add the Pages workflow, which renders docs/ on pull requests and deploys it from the release tag.

  • docs: Add the Quarto Extensions Updates workflow, scanning docs for the website’s own dependencies.

Bug Fixes
  • fix: Anchor the _quarto.yml rule in .gitignore to the repository root. Unanchored, it also matched docs/_quarto.yml, which the documentation website and the release workflow’s docs/ detection both need.

2.3.0 (2026-05-31)

New Features
  • feat: Validate colour values and warn on unrecognised hex/CSS/named values instead of crashing.
  • feat: Support CSS var(--...) references for foreground, background, and border colours (HTML only).
  • feat: Add opacity attribute for translucent text/background (HTML only).
  • feat: Add gradient attribute for block-level gradient fills (HTML only).
  • feat: Warn once per render when PowerPoint discards a border colour.
Bug Fixes
  • fix: Stop crashing when a border colour is not a 6-character hex (named CSS colours and invalid hex no longer raise a runtime error).
  • fix: Strip ink/paper (and other input aliases) so they no longer leak as data-* attributes in HTML output.
  • fix: Synchronise shared modules (logging.lua, colour.lua) with canonical versions.
