LibreOffice's rule set: typographic quotes per document language, its
dash matrix, its replacement table, sentence capitalization with an
abbreviation exception list, and TWo INitials. One handleTextInput
plugin listed last, so every input rule still fires first; the rule
table itself is a pure function under test. Auto-URL and auto-list were
already TipTap's and now answer to the same checkboxes.
LibreOffice's File > Properties / Word's File > Info, reachable from
both chromes' file menus. ODF writes them into the meta.xml odf-kit
already emits (one meta:keyword each, generator EdenText); DOCX passes
them to the package's core properties. Both importers read them back,
and LibreOffice shows every field from either format.
Renames the product in the docs, the page title and the DOCX creator, and moves
the whole storage namespace from odf-editor- to edentext-. The prefix is a
per-origin namespace, so it stays the product name rather than a generic one.
The marker moves from a CSS ::before to a widget decoration: generated
content is no text node, so it reached neither the PDF nor a measurement.
The note also carries the paragraph style its file names, so font, size and
colour are the document's; only the hanging indent stays the editor's,
because the style model has no first-line half to pair with the margin.
Adds a unit test for the numbering and the settings, plus the architecture
doc and the two open parity findings.
Numbering format, start value, restart, position, prefix/suffix and the two
styles per class, plus the separator's length, thickness, spacing, alignment
and colour. The separator rides :root custom properties, so editor.css draws
the line and pageBreaks.ts reserves its band from the same values. A settings
change is no document change, so it carries a resync meta — without it the
numbering kept the format it was typed under.
The anchor is an inline atom, the note text a block in the one noteSection
at the document end; a sync plugin keeps notes in anchor order, renumbers
them per class and drops the ones whose anchor is gone. Numbering, indent,
size and separator defaults are LibreOffice's, read out of a document it
saved. Endnotes still render in flow at the document end — lifting a
footnote to the foot of its page is the next step.
ODF style:writing-mode="rl-tb" and Word's section-level w:bidi were not
read, so a Hebrew two-column page put column 1 on the left where
LibreOffice puts it on the right — checked against pdftoppm of its own
PDF, since the harness bands both columns into one line and never gets
that far. It is a document setting now, applied as `dir` on the body
host, which is all CSS multi-column needs; it also gives bidi the base
direction the file means. Round-trips through both formats. The
header/footer band keeps its own direction, as LibreOffice lays it out.
ODF style:page-usage="mirrored" and Word's w:mirrorMargins make the
declared left/right the inner/outer pair, which an even page swaps.
Read, rendered and written back in both formats; the body rides the
per-block inset a section's own margins already use, the header and
footer band moves with it. Measured on a mirrored two-column file:
its page 2 went from 12.7-184.1mm to 31.8-203.2, which is LibreOffice's
to 0.1mm, and its running head with it.
A chevron in the tab strip drops the band, leaving the strip; persisted, so
it survives a reload. Clicking a tab expands again, since a collapsed strip
whose tabs do nothing is a trap.
Word puts that chevron in the band's corner. It rides the strip so the band
keeps its full width: a flex row can only reserve a column, never a corner.
Skipped: Word floats the band over the document until the next click lands
in the text.
The palette outside the theme system, the token remap that lets a reused picker
adopt it, and the two things the fixed-height band forces — a menu that leaves
the flow, and a wrapper that names the menu it owns.
Also the deletion the ribbon would unlock if classic were ever retired, so the
option stays visible without anything being removed now.
A second chrome, chosen by odf-editor-chrome and switchable from either side so
the two can be compared. The shell only — tab strip, File menu, quick-access
save/undo/redo; the tab bodies follow. The classic island stays untouched.
Word's palette lives in --w-* outside the theme blocks, and .ribbon remaps the
app's own tokens onto it, so a reused picker adopts the ribbon's look without
an edit of its own.
The sheet took the app's slate (#1e293b), so every uncoloured run
differed from LibreOffice — and from a run the same document colours
#000000 explicitly. Light and dark themes now paint the page black on
white; allBlack still inverts it, and the PDF export no longer has to
override anything.
Page geometry was document-wide, so a title page declaring 1cm started 1cm too
low. w:pgMar / the section's ODF page layout now ride its HfSet and feed the
per-page content area; an ODF master handing over (style:next-style-name) gives
its own layout to the section's first page and the successor's to the rest.
A spacer can only push down, so a smaller margin than the document's needs the
opposite: the section's first block gets a lifting spacer where nothing was
pushed onto its page ahead of it.
A manual's footer carries text:chapter, which we imported as the string the
producer happened to cache — so every page of a fixture claimed the last chapter
of the book. It is now a live field: the layer resolves the last heading at
or above its outline level to have started by that page. Round-trips to ODF
text:chapter and Word STYLEREF; PDF keeps the cached name (Chrome's print
engine has no named strings).
LibreOffice adds the upper block's space-below to the lower one's
space-above, and drops the space-above where a page break put the block
at a page top — but for a Word document it takes only the larger of the
two (all probed against soffice). CSS margins can only collapse, so
space-before rides --space-before and editor.css renders it as padding
('add') or margin ('max'); the model is read from settings.xml, assumed
for DOCX, and written back on ODF export.
An autosaved document that hangs or throws while the editor comes up was
reloaded from localStorage on every refresh, leaving no way back into the app.
Loading now raises a boot flag that only a completed startup clears; finding it
still set means the last attempt never finished, so the document moves to
odf-editor-doc-broken and the app starts empty with a message.
The zones already imported, rendered and exported per section, but only
section 1 was editable state — the rest were marked read-only.
Editing now targets the section of the page it starts on: a double-click
edits the zone under the pointer, the Layout-panel buttons the current
page's. zoneKey/writeZone route the single live editor's read and its
write-back to either the six per-zone props or the extraHfSections entry.
LibreOffice restarts the tab grid on the continuation line; Chromium
hangs the leftover tabs and starts the next line at the margin, 160mm
away in the repro. The run is walked from the pen before it — the one
thing the fix can't move, so the answer holds whether or not the break
is already in place — and a break widget goes where the line runs out.
Measuring this turned up why the two disagreed in the first place: a
file that declares no tab interval falls back to ODF's own 2cm, not to
LibreOffice's UI default of 1.25, so leaving ours implied on export
rendered every tab elsewhere. Both exports declare it now, and both
imports fall back to their format's value rather than to ours.
Only runs of two or more are walked: reading a block's geometry forces
a reflow, and doing it per tab across 48 pages slowed pagination enough
that the parity harness compared a layout still settling.
The default tab interval was fixed at 1.25cm, so a file's own
w:defaultTabStop / style:tab-stop-distance was ignored and the DOCX
export wrote 1.25 back over Word's 1.27. It is a document setting now.
A stop can also carry the character it repeats across its gap. odf-kit
has no leader option and mints one automatic style per option set, so
the leader rides style:type behind a sentinel — matching on position
and alignment alone gave every stop at 6cm the same leader, which
LibreOffice drew back plain as day.
A document had one set for all of it, taken from whichever section
declared one last — so a fixture lost its letterhead entirely
and page 1 got the empty header its final section asked for.
A body block now carries `sectionBreak`, ordinal rather than indexed so
editing cannot desync it. Import resolves Word's "Link to Previous" per
reference type; export writes a set per sectPr, and on the ODF side each
section past the first gets its own master page, which the block switches
to. The layer picks a page's set from where pageBreaks reports the
sections starting, and each section's zone reaches ride
`--pb-section-reach` so a later section's letterhead makes room for
itself: page 10 of a fixture was 24.9mm out, now 1.1mm.
Editing still reaches section 1 only; the rest render read-only.
The root file is read at every session start and had grown to 87 KB, so every
session paid for knowledge it did not use. Move the per-directory detail into
nested CLAUDE.md files, which load when a file in that directory is touched,
and the five deep-dive topics into docs/. The root keeps the commands, the hard
rules and an index of where the rest lives.
Content moved verbatim — the probed Word/LibreOffice behaviour, sentinel order
and shared constants are what the code cannot say. CI fails the root over 120
lines, since a prose budget alone is what let it grow.
Click the strip to place a stop of the selected type, drag to move it, drag it
off to drop it; the two triangles set the paragraph's first-line and left
indent. Sticky inside the scroll area, so it clears the toolbar island and
stays aligned with the page as it scrolls or zooms.
