	The function generates element identifiers based on inlines content. It's primary use case is the programmatic generation of ID, similar to what the `auto_identifiers` extension provides for many formats.
2024-10-14	Lua: Remove prefixes from Lua type names	Albert Krewinkel
	Lua type names were inconsistent with regard to the use of prefixes; all prefixes are removed now, and Lua types now have the same name as the Haskell types. The use of app-specific prefixes is suggested by the Lua manual to avoid collisions. However, this shouldn't be a problem with pandoc, as it cannot be used as a Lua package. Closes: #8574
2024-02-03	Shared: `makeSections` behavior changes.	John MacFarlane
	+ When the optional base level parameter is provided, we no longer ensure that the sequence of heading levels is gapless [behavior change]. Instead, we set the lowest heading level to the specified base level, and adjust the others accordingly. If an author wants to skip a level, e.g. from level 1 to level 3, they can do that. In general, the heading levels specified in the source document are preserved; `makeSections` only puts them into a hierarchical structure. Closes #9398. + Section numbers are now assigned so that the top level gets `1`, no matter what heading level is used. So, even if the top heading level is 2, numbers will be `1`, `2`, etc. rather than `0.1`, `0.2`, as in the past. Closes #5071. + We revert to the old behavior when the `--number-offset` option is used. So, for example, if a document begins with a level-3 heading, and `--number-offset=1,2` is used, the top-level section numbers will be `1.2.1`, `1.2.2`, etc. This is mainly for backwards-compatibility.
2024-01-30	Update lua tests for change to toTOCTree.	John MacFarlane

2023-01-15	T.P.Chunks changes.	John MacFarlane
	+ Re-use `toTocTree` in constructing `chunkedTOC`. Previously we used an entirely different function toTOCTree'. + Improve `tocToList` so that it avoids empty lists of items that are omitted because they are below the toc depth. pandoc-lua-engine: + Fix structure tests in light of last change. T.P.Writers.ChunkedHTML: + Reuse `tocToList` in `buildTOC`. T.P.Writers.EPUB: + Adjust EPUB writer for Chunks changes.
2023-01-15	Lua: add module `pandoc.structure`.	Albert Krewinkel
	Adds support for table of contents and chunks handling. The function `make_sections` has been given a friendlier interface and was moved to the new module; the old `pandoc.utils.make_sections` has been deprecated.
