- doc: OBJECT_MARK with Story::objects (items normalized to the origin) kept in sync on edits,
copy/paste slices and threading
- compose: inline objects are wide glyphs sitting on the baseline (Y offset; auto leading grows);
above-line objects push their line down; placements per frame follow vertical justification
- render + PDF draw anchored items with their lines
- engine: anchored.insert/options/release/list; pasting copied items into text anchors them;
Options/Release act on the object at the insertion point (+ test)
- Object › Anchored Object menu

- doc: Story::extract / insert_story carry formats, footnotes, cross-references, index markers
and tables through copy and paste
- engine: edit.copy/cut on text keep a formatted slice; edit.paste uses it while the system
clipboard matches (else plain text, no smart quotes); edit.pasteWithoutFormatting (⇧⌘V);
type.changeCase (upper/lower/title/sentence, run formats kept)
- UI: canvas copy/cut/paste go through the engine; Type › Insert Special Character (Symbols,
Markers, Hyphens and Dashes, Quotation Marks, Other), Insert White Space, Insert Break
Character, Change Case; nested submenus in the menu parser (+ test)

- doc: INDEX_MARK with Story::index_refs kept in sync (topics 1–4 levels, sort keys, current
page / to end of story / next n paragraphs / suppressed / See / See also); index builder with
section headings, nested or run-in entries, merged page ranges; Document::index for updates
- engine: index.addReference (topic from the selection), index.list, index.generate, index.update
with Index Title / Section Head / Level 1–4 styles (+ tests)
- IDML: PageReference markers and the Index topic tree with See / See also cross-references,
both ways (verified in InDesign 2026)
- Layout › Index menu

- doc: ANCHOR_MARK / XREF_MARK with Story::anchors / xrefs kept in sync on edits, 11 formats
(InDesign's building blocks + partial paragraph), paragraph anchors, typographic quotes
- compose: anchor pages via an XrefIndex (cached per document signature); cross-references are
resolved at composition, so they never go stale; '??' for missing destinations
- PDF: cross-references become link annotations to the destination page
- IDML: export/import as HyperlinkTextDestination / CrossReferenceSource / Hyperlink /
CrossReferenceFormat (+ XRef page variables); verified live in InDesign 2026
- engine: xref.insert/list/setFormat/defineFormat/formats, anchor.create/list (+ tests)
- UI: New Cross-Reference dialog (styles → paragraphs, format); menu pass adding TOC, sections,
text variables, hyperlinks, footnotes, step and repeat, spelling, fitting/content submenus,
effects, Data Merge, Preflight, EPUB; fixed-parameter menu variants; ui.menu.invoke opens
generated dialogs; every-menu-entry-is-a-command test

- doc: FOOTNOTE_REF marker + Story::notes (kept in sync on insert/delete/thread), FootnoteOptions,
NumberStyle::Symbols, footnote text addressed like cell text (CellAddr::footnote)
- compose: notes numbered (continuous / restart per page, spread, section), composed at column
width, body text makes room, stacked at the column bottom with the rule above
- render + PDF draw footnote text; IDML export/import in InDesign's structure (verified in
InDesign 2026), FootnoteOption preferences
- engine: footnote.insert/options/list/setText/delete/goToReference (+ tests)
- UI: caret/selection in footnote text, Footnote Options dialog, Type menu entries; menu items
labelled '…' with parameters open a dialog generated from the command's params doc
- sample magazine carries a footnote

- hyphen: bundled en-US dictionary from the public-domain Moby Hyphenator II
list (Grady Ward, Gutenberg #3204), front-coded + deflated (433 KB), with
case/apostrophe/punctuation/compound handling and inflection inheritance;
our own Liang patterns (19.5k, 129 KB) trained by a patgen-style trainer
(hyphen::patgen, examples/hyphgen.rs) for unknown words; heuristic last.
Discretionary hyphens replace automatic points.
- breaker: prioritised word/letter/glyph-scaling glue in Knuth-Plass and
layout; uncapped badness; hyphen limit as a hard constraint (hyphen-count
states); hyphenation zone for ragged text (both composers); ragged
hyphenation measured correctly; optical margin alignment; balance ragged
lines; Knuth's node pruning.
- compose: Keep Options (keep with next, keep all lines, keep first/last)
via paragraph snapshots; desired spacing applied to all alignments;
justified last lines shrink instead of overflowing; word shaping and
hyphenation caches (300k-char story: ~40 ms warm, ~60 ms cold).
- tests: golden corpus, perf (ignored), keeps, balance, optical, zone,
limit, letter/glyph scaling, discretionary hyphens.

New crate designcraft-pdf (L3): pages or spreads with MediaBox/TrimBox/BleedBox,
parent items with per-page folios, fills (solid + gradient swatches), aligned/dashed
strokes, corner options, opacity/blend, simple drop shadow, clipped images (JPEG
passthrough), and real text: composed glyph runs with embedded font subsets and
Unicode mapping from the story. CMYK as DeviceCMYK, RGB as DeviceRGB, spot swatches
as Separation, [Registration] as /All. Crop/bleed marks and page info. PDF/A-2b via
krilla; PDF/X-4 writes PDF 1.6 (output intent TODO).
Engine command file.exportPdf {path?, pages?, spreads?, bleed?, marks?, standard?,
compressImages?, title?, author?} (base64 when no path), CLI --export out.pdf with
--pdf-options, File > Export PDF... in the UI.

apps/designcraft-web runs DesignApp through eframe's web runner (wgpu:
WebGPU with WebGL2 fallback, ?webgl forces GL, ?sample opens the sample).
Services gain open_async, download and an inbox: browser-picked and
dropped files are fed back as file.openBytes (.designcraft) or file.place
(images, base64); Save/Export download via Blob + anchor. The web app is
excluded from default-members.
