docs: longtable and a harvard bibliography are no longer gaps - #138
Merged
Conversation
Two "Known gaps" entries went stale today. Tables: longtable now renders (engine #231) and tabular* has since engine #219, so only xtabular still drops. The longtable entry keeps the limit that matters and is easy to overstate away — it is set as ONE box, not broken across pages with its head repeated, so a table longer than a page occupies less room than the real thing. Computed (Pandoc) column widths are named too, since they were what swallowed such a table before. Bibliography: biblatex is still unsupported, but a harvard-style .bbl (\harvarditem) and glossaries' acronyms (\newacronym/\gls, short form) now reach the page (engine #232) — on one corpus thesis that was 252 references and 235 acronyms, a fifth of the document. Checked against the engine rather than from memory: longtable and tabular* are registered primitives, xtabular is not, and \harvarditem/\newacronym are defined in the LaTeX substrate. Hugo builds clean; documentation only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
