Major consolidation of styling infrastructure:
- Remove TextBlock::Style enum (JUSTIFIED, LEFT_ALIGN, etc.)
Alignment is now stored in BlockStyle.alignment using CssTextAlign
- Remove wordUnderlines list from TextBlock and ParsedText
Underline state is now encoded in EpdFontFamily::Style via UNDERLINE bitflag
- Use BlockStyle::fromCssStyle() and getCombinedBlockStyle() in parser
Removes duplicated createBlockStyleFromCss() and mergeBlockStyles()
- Simplify text block rendering to check style bitflag for underlines
- Revert spurious spaces handling (isAttachingPunctuation logic)
The actualGapCount approach had issues; using standard word gaps
This reduces code duplication and simplifies the style inheritance model.
- Add alignment and textAlignDefined fields to BlockStyle
- Add getCombinedBlockStyle(child) for merging parent/child styles
- Add static fromCssStyle(cssStyle, emSize, paragraphAlignment) factory
These methods centralize the CSS→BlockStyle conversion logic (previously
duplicated in createBlockStyleFromCss) and provide a clean API for
handling nested block element style inheritance.
- TextAlign enum → CssTextAlign (reordered to match settings: Justify=0, Left=1, Center=2, Right=3)
- alignment → textAlign
- indent → textIndent
- decoration → textDecoration
- Update CssPropertyFlags field names to match
- Remove TextAlign::None; default to CssTextAlign::Left
This aligns internal naming with actual CSS property names for clarity.
The function measures the advance width of arbitrary text (specifically
em-space prefix), not just indentation. getTextAdvanceX better reflects
its actual purpose.

## Summary
* refactors Indexing popups into ScreenComponents (they had different
implementations in different files)
* removes Indexing popup for small chapters
* only show Indexing popup (without progress bar) for large chapters
(using same minimum file size condition as for progress bar before)
## Additional Context
* Having to show even single popup message and redraw the screen slows
down the flow significantly
* Testing results:
* Opening large chapter with progress bar - 11 seconds
* Same chapter without progress bar, only single Indexing popup - 5
seconds

- margin, padding, and text-indent now all support ems, rems, and px values
- shorthand margin/padding CSS is also supported
- margin/padding/indent values of 0 should no longer erroneously produce additional spacing
## Summary
* Correctly render italics on image alt placeholders
* Parser incorrectly handled depth of self-closing tags
* Self-closing tags immediately call start and end tag
## Additional Context
* Previously, it would incorrectly make the whole chapter bold/italics,
or not italicised the image alt

## Summary
Optimizes EPUB metadata indexing for large books (2000+ chapters) from
~30 minutes to ~50 seconds by replacing O(n²) algorithms with O(n log n)
hash-indexed lookups.
Fixes#134
## Problem
Three phases had O(n²) complexity due to nested loops:
| Phase | Operation | Before (2768 chapters) |
|-------|-----------|------------------------|
| OPF Pass | For each spine ref, scan all manifest items | ~25 min |
| TOC Pass | For each TOC entry, scan all spine items | ~5 min |
| buildBookBin | For each spine item, scan ZIP central directory | ~8.4
min |
Total: **~30+ minutes** for first-time indexing of large EPUBs.
## Solution
Replace linear scans with sorted hash indexes + binary search:
- **OPF Pass**: Build `{hash(id), len, offset}` index from manifest,
binary search for each spine ref
- **TOC Pass**: Build `{hash(href), len, spineIndex}` index from spine,
binary search for each TOC entry
- **buildBookBin**: New `ZipFile::fillUncompressedSizes()` API - single
ZIP central directory scan with batch hash matching
All indexes use FNV-1a hashing with length as secondary key to minimize
collisions. Indexes are freed immediately after each phase.
## Results
**Shadow Slave EPUB (2768 chapters):**
| Phase | Before | After | Speedup |
|-------|--------|-------|---------|
| OPF pass | ~25 min | 10.8 sec | ~140x |
| TOC pass | ~5 min | 4.7 sec | ~60x |
| buildBookBin | 506 sec | 34.6 sec | ~15x |
| **Total** | **~30+ min** | **~50 sec** | **~36x** |
**Normal EPUB (87 chapters):** 1.7 sec - no regression.
## Memory
Peak temporary memory during indexing:
- OPF index: ~33KB (2770 items × 12 bytes)
- TOC index: ~33KB (2768 items × 12 bytes)
- ZIP batch: ~44KB (targets + sizes arrays)
All indexes cleared immediately after each phase. No OOM risk on
ESP32-C3.
## Note on Threshold
All optimizations are gated by `LARGE_SPINE_THRESHOLD = 400` to preserve
existing behavior for small books. However, the algorithms work
correctly for any book size and are faster even for small books:
| Book Size | Old O(n²) | New O(n log n) | Improvement |
|-----------|-----------|----------------|-------------|
| 10 ch | 100 ops | 50 ops | 2x |
| 100 ch | 10K ops | 800 ops | 12x |
| 400 ch | 160K ops | 4K ops | 40x |
If preferred, the threshold could be removed to use the optimized path
universally.
## Testing
- [x] Shadow Slave (2768 chapters): 50s first-time indexing, loads and
navigates correctly
- [x] Normal book (87 chapters): 1.7s indexing, no regression
- [x] Build passes
- [x] clang-format passes
## Files Changed
- `lib/Epub/Epub/parsers/ContentOpfParser.h/.cpp` - OPF manifest index
- `lib/Epub/Epub/BookMetadataCache.h/.cpp` - TOC index + batch size
lookup
- `lib/ZipFile/ZipFile.h/.cpp` - New `fillUncompressedSizes()` API
- `lib/Epub/Epub.cpp` - Timing logs
<details>
<summary><b>Algorithm Details</b> (click to expand)</summary>
### Phase 1: OPF Pass - Manifest to Spine Lookup
**Problem**: Each `<itemref idref="ch001">` in spine must find matching
`<item id="ch001" href="...">` in manifest.
```
OLD: For each of 2768 spine refs, scan all 2770 manifest items
= 7.6M string comparisons
NEW: While parsing manifest, build index:
{ hash("ch001"), len=5, file_offset=120 }
Sort index, then binary search for each spine ref:
2768 × log₂(2770) ≈ 2768 × 11 = 30K comparisons
```
### Phase 2: TOC Pass - TOC Entry to Spine Index Lookup
**Problem**: Each TOC entry with `href="chapter0001.xhtml"` must find
its spine index.
```
OLD: For each of 2768 TOC entries, scan all 2768 spine entries
= 7.6M string comparisons
NEW: At beginTocPass(), read spine once and build index:
{ hash("OEBPS/chapter0001.xhtml"), len=25, spineIndex=0 }
Sort index, binary search for each TOC entry:
2768 × log₂(2768) ≈ 30K comparisons
Clear index at endTocPass() to free memory.
```
### Phase 3: buildBookBin - ZIP Size Lookup
**Problem**: Need uncompressed file size for each spine item (for
reading progress). Sizes are in ZIP central directory.
```
OLD: For each of 2768 spine items, scan ZIP central directory (2773 entries)
= 7.6M filename reads + string comparisons
Time: 506 seconds
NEW:
Step 1: Build targets from spine
{ hash("OEBPS/chapter0001.xhtml"), len=25, index=0 }
Sort by (hash, len)
Step 2: Single pass through ZIP central directory
For each entry:
- Compute hash ON THE FLY (no string allocation)
- Binary search targets
- If match: sizes[target.index] = uncompressedSize
Step 3: Use sizes array directly (O(1) per spine item)
Total: 2773 entries × log₂(2768) ≈ 33K comparisons
Time: 35 seconds
```
### Why Hash + Length?
Using 64-bit FNV-1a hash + string length as a composite key:
- Collision probability: ~1 in 2⁶⁴ × typical_path_lengths
- No string storage needed in index (just 12-16 bytes per entry)
- Integer comparisons are faster than string comparisons
- Verification on match handles the rare collision case

## Summary
* Fixes#519
* Refactors repeated code into new function:
`ChapterHtmlSlimParser::flushPartWordBuffer()`
## Additional Context
* The `<br/>` tag is self closing and _in-line_, so the existing logic
for closing block tags does not get applied to `<br/>` tags.
* This PR adds the _in-line_ logic to:
* Flush the word preceding the `<br/>` tag from `partWordBuffer` to
`currentTextBlock` before calling `startNewTextBlock`
* **New function**: `ChapterHtmlSlimParser::flushPartWordBuffer()`
* **Purpose**: Consolidates the logic for flushing `partWordBuffer` to
`currentTextBlock`
* **Impact**: Simplifies `ChapterHtmlSlimParser::characterData(…)`,
`ChapterHtmlSlimParser::startElement(…)`, and
`ChapterHtmlSlimParser::endElement(…)` by integrating reused code into
single function

## Summary
* Add additional punctuation marks to the list of characters that can be
immediately followed by a line break even where there is no explicit
space
## Additional Context
* Huge appreciation to @osteotek for his amazing work on hyphenation.
Reading on the device is so much better now.
* I am getting bad line breaks when ellipses (…) are between words and
book file does not explicitly include some kind of breaking space.
* Per
[discussion](https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/305#issuecomment-3765411406),
several new characters are added in this PR to the `isExplicitHyphen`
list to allow line breaks immediately after them:
Character | Unicode | Usage | Why include it?
-- | -- | -- | --
Solidus (Slash) | U+002F | / | Essential for breaking URLs and "and/or"
constructs.
Backslash | U+005C | \ | Critical for technical text, file paths, and
coding documentation.
Underscore | U+005F | _ | Prevents "runaway" line lengths in usernames
or code snippets.
Middle Dot | U+00B7 | · | Acts as a semantic separator in dictionaries
or stylistic lists.
Ellipsis | U+2026 | … | Prevents justification failure when dialogue
lacks following spaces.
Midline Horizontal Ellipsis | U+22EF | ⋯ | Useful for mathematical
sequences and technical notation.
### Example:
This shows an example of what line breaking looks like *with* this PR.
Note the line break after "matter…" (which would not previously have
been allowed). It's particularly important here because the book
includes non-breaking spaces in "Mr. Aldrich" and "Mr. Rockefeller."

Let's start small by showing the ALT text of IMG. This is rudimentary,
but avoids those otherwise completely blank chapters.
I feel we will need this even when we can render images if that
rendering takes >1s - I would then prefer rendering optional and showing
the ALT text first.
## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**: Fix the bug I reported in
https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/issues/292
* **What changes are included?**: Instead of silently dropping table
content in EPUBs., replace with an italicized '[Table omitted]' message
where tables appear.
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks,
specific areas to focus on).

Currently there is no visual indication whatsoever if something is in a
list. An `<li>` is essentially just another paragraph.
As a partial remedy for this, add a bullet character to the beginning of
`<li>` text blocks so that the user can see that they're list items.
This is incomplete in that an `<ol>` should also have a counter so that
its list items can get numbers instead of bullets (right now I don't
think we track if we're in a `<ul>` or an `<ol>` at all), but it's
strictly better than the current situation.

Currently, when Extra Paragraph Spacing is off, an em-space is added to
the beginning of each ParsedText even for blocks like headers that are
centered. This whitespace makes the centering slightly off. Change the
calculation here to only add the em-space for left/justified text.

## Summary
Skip BOM character (sometimes used in front of em-dashes) - they are not
part of the glyph set and would render `?` otherwise.

* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Fixes a bug in the user
authentication module,
Display the book cover image in the **"Continue Reading"** card on the
home screen, with fast navigation using framebuffer caching.
* **What changes are included?**
- Display book cover image in the "Continue Reading" card on home screen
- Load cover from cached BMP (same as sleep screen cover)
- Add framebuffer store/restore functions (`copyStoredBwBuffer`,
`freeStoredBwBuffer`) for fast navigation after initial render
- Fix `drawBitmap` scaling bug: apply scale to offset only, not to base
coordinates
- Add white text boxes behind title/author/continue reading label for
readability on cover
- Support both EPUB and XTC file cover images
- Increase HomeActivity task stack size from 2048 to 4096 for cover
image rendering
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks, specific areas to
focus on).
- Performance: First render loads cover from SD card (~800ms),
subsequent navigation uses cached framebuffer (~instant)
- Memory: Framebuffer cache uses ~48KB (6 chunks × 8KB) while on home
screen, freed on exit
- Fallback: If cover image is not available, falls back to standard
text-only display
- The `drawBitmap` fix corrects a bug where screenY = (y + offset) scale
was incorrectly scaling the base coordinates. Now correctly uses screenY
= y + (offset scale)
## Summary
- Nav file in EPUB 3 file is a HTML file with relative hrefs
- If this file exists anywhere but in the same location as the
content.opf file, navigating in the book will fail
- Bump the book cache version to rebuild potentially broken books
## Additional Context
- Fixes https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/issues/264

## Summary
* Remove HTML entity parsing
* This has been completely useless since the introduction of expat
* expat tries to parse all entities in the document, but only knows of
HTML ones
* Parsing will never end with HTML entities in the text, so the
additional step to parse them that we had went completely unused
* We should figure out the best way to parse that content in the future,
but for now remove that module as it generates a lot of heap allocations
with its map and strings
## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** Add EPUB 3 support by implementing
native navigation document (nav.xhtml) parsing with NCX fallback,
addressing issue Fixes: #143.
* **What changes are included?**
- New `TocNavParser` for parsing EPUB 3 HTML5 navigation documents
(`<nav epub:type="toc">`)
- Detection of nav documents via `properties="nav"` attribute in OPF
manifest
- Fallback logic: try EPUB 3 nav first, fall back to NCX (EPUB 2) if
unavailable
- Graceful degradation: books without any TOC now load with a warning
instead of failing
## Additional Context
* The implementation follows the existing streaming XML parser pattern
using Expat to minimize RAM usage on the ESP32-C3
* EPUB 3 books that include both nav.xhtml and toc.ncx will prefer the
nav document (per EPUB 3 spec recommendation)
* No breaking changes - existing EPUB 2 books continue to work as before
* Tested on examples from
https://idpf.github.io/epub3-samples/30/samples.html
## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Add a new user setting for paragraph alignment, instead of hard-coding
full justification.
* **What changes are included?**
One new line in the settings screen, with 4 options
(justify/left/center/right). Default is justified since that's what it
was already. I personally only wanted to disable justification and use
"left", but I included the other options for completeness since they
were already supported.
## Additional Context
Tested on my X4 and looks as expected for each alignment.

## Summary
* Update EpdFontFamily::Style to be u8 instead of u32 (saving 3 bytes
per word)
* Update layout width/height to be u16 from int
* Update page element count to be u16 from u32
* Update text block element count to be u16 from u32
* Bumped section bin version to version 8
## Summary
* Redesigned home screen with big option to continue reading and
slightly nicer options to navigate to core sections
* Attempt to use the cached EPUB details (title, author) if they exist,
otherwise fall back to file name
* Adjusted button hints on home screen, removed Back option and changed
left/right to up/down
## Additional Context
* Core of this work comes from @ChandhokTannay in
1d36a86ef1
This parses the guide section in the content.opf for text/start
references and jumps to this on first open of the book.
Currently, this behavior will be repeated in case the reader manually
jumps to Chapter 0 and then re-opens the book. IMO, this is an
acceptable edge case (for which I couldn't see a good fix other than to
drag a "first open" boolean around).

## Summary
* Show previous title for unnamed spines
* The spec is a little unclear, but there are plenty of cases where
chapters are split up in parts and should show the previous chapter's
title
* List TOC items instead of spine items in chapter select
* Bump `BOOK_CACHE_VERSION` to `2` to force regeneration of spine item's
TOC indexes
## Summary
* Swap to updated SDCardManager which uses SdFat
* Add exFAT support
* Swap to using FsFile everywhere
* Use newly exposed `SdMan` macro to get to static instance of
SDCardManager
* Move a bunch of FsHelpers up to SDCardManager
## Summary
* Consolidate chapter page data into single file
* Header structure of the file stays the same, following the page count,
we now put a LUT offset
* The page data is all then appended to this file
* Finally the LUT is appended to the end of the file, and the page count
is updated
* This will also significantly improve the duration of cache cleanup
which takes a while to scan the directory and cleanup content
* Remove page file version as it's all tied up into the section file now
* Bumped section file version to 7
* Moved section content into sub directory
* Updated docs
