pandoc.exe follows the Windows CRLF format of newlines, whereas we only ever have LF in our documentation files. As a result whenever we generate html the resulting html files will all be mangled, even if there was no change to the corresponding markdown file. This passes --eol=lf to pandoc so that it always uses LF no matter the platform, since we never ever seem to use (or even want to use) CRLF at all, so that pandoc will exhibit consistent behaviour on all platforms
pandoc by default uses the --eol=native option, which is LF on macOS, Linux and UNIX, so this change will not affect their html generation whatsoever, but will make the lives of Windows JDK developers and _especially_ JDK developers working with MSYS2 a hell of a lot easier (*cries internally) ------------- Commit messages: - ProcessMarkdown.gmk Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12733/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=12733&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8303131 Stats: 1 line in 1 file changed: 0 ins; 0 del; 1 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12733.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk pull/12733/head:pull/12733 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12733
