This Unicode char (U+2029) is intended as a semantic separator between
paragraphs; it is cleaner and less intrusive than the pilcrow sign that
we used before. This also changes the default `sep` value used in the
`pandoc.utils.blocks_to_inlines` Lua function.
parsed as inlines, as the manual states.
Previously, they were parsed as inlines if they would
otherwise have been a single Plain or Para, but otherwise
left unchanged. This led to some quirky results (e.g. #8143).
We now use the general function `blocksToInlines` from T.P.Shared.
Update tests.
Reason: it turns out that the native output generated by
pretty-simple isn't always readable by the native reader.
According to https://github.com/cdepillabout/pretty-simple/issues/99
it is not a design goal of the library that the rendered values
be readable using 'read'. This makes it unsuitable for our
purposes.
pretty-show is a bit slower and it uses 4-space indents
(non-configurable), but it doesn't have this serious drawback.
Previously we used our own homespun formatting. But this
produces over-long lines that aren't ideal for diffs in tests.
Easier to use something off-the-shelf and standard.
Closes#7580.
Performance is slower by about a factor of 10, but this isn't
really a problem because native isn't suitable as a serialization
format. (For serialization you should use json, because the reader
is so much faster than native.)
