                                   SLOVO
                               Version 0.8.8
============================================================================

INTRODUCTION
------------
Slovo is a lightweight, and fast word processor designed for Amiga-like 
operating systems (AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS, AROS). Built with Hollywood and
RapaGUI, 
it offers a native look-and-feel with advanced typography, multi-column layouts,

and automatic document management.


TECHNOLOGIES & REQUIREMENTS
---------------------------
- RapaGUI plugin (GUI engine)
- Native system TrueType font support
- Hollywood framework engine

Requirements:
- AmigaOS 3.0+ / AmigaOS 4.x / AROS / MorphOS



INSTALLATION
------------
Simply copy the Slovo drawer to your hard drive or system volume.
Make sure the required fonts are present in their respective directories.


FEATURES
--------

File Formats & Document Management
  * Custom Slovo Document format (.slv) preserving fonts, margins, alignments, 
    and two-column structures
  * Open/Save documents with UTF-8 encoding
  * Built-in Autosave engine: Background interval-based saving (1-15 min) 
    with status notification
  * Recent Files history: Quick access to up to 10 previously opened documents 
    via a native list selector
  * Persistent configuration stored in PROGDIR:slovo.prefs

Page Layout & Formatting
  * Configurable left and right margins (in millimeters)
  * Multi-column layout support (1 or 2 columns)
  * Real-time document recalculation and word wrapping
  * Page ruler support and dynamic scroll clamping
  * Paragraph alignment: Left, Center, Right, Justified

Tables
  * Insert tables with a custom number of rows and columns
    (optional header row) via the table dialog, or directly with
    [tbl:...] markup
  * Resize table width and column borders directly on the page ruler
    by dragging - both outer edges stay locked to the page margins
  * Merged cells, header rows, and per-cell alignment
  * Insert Row / Insert Column add a row or a column after the selected
    one; the new column takes the average width of the existing ones and
    the table keeps its total width
  * Delete Rows / Delete Columns work on the selected cell block, or on
    the row/column under the cursor when nothing is selected; vertical
    merges shrink, horizontal ones collapse, and column proportions are
    rescaled to the new column count
  * Rendered in PDF export and converted to native tables in DOCX export

Table of Contents
  * Automatic table of contents built from the H1-H3 heading styles
    (Insert -> Table of Contents); re-run the command to update it
  * Entries shown with level indentation, dot leaders and the
    page number of the referenced heading (screen and PDF export)
  * Clicking an entry jumps the cursor to the heading
  * Headings are now stored persistently in the document file and
    exported as Word headings (DOCX/RTF) and Markdown #, ##, ###
  * Backing markup block: [toc]...[/toc] with [toce:LEVEL;PAGE] entries

Floating Images (text wrapping)
  * Insert an image anchored to the left or right column via
    Insert -> Floating Image (Left / Right)
  * Text automatically wraps around the image on the page; the image
    does not consume vertical flow space (works in .slv and .slvx)
  * Click the rendered image to jump the cursor behind it; Backspace
    /Delete removes the whole block like any other image
  * Backing markup block (own line): [fig:left;PATH] or [fig:left;PATH;W;H]
    (side = left | right; W/H optional, natural size used otherwise)
  * Rendered in PDF export; degrades to a plain inline image in
    Markdown/RTF/DOCX export

Comments & Review
  * Anchored document comments (Review menu) with author, date, and a
    resolved/unresolved state
  * Commented text is highlighted on the page with a margin marker;
    hovering shows a tooltip with the author and the comment text
  * A comment may span several runs, paragraphs, or table cells
  * Comments without a matching anchor in the text are dropped on save,
    and anchors left without metadata are treated as plain text
  * Comment text, the author field, and every field separator are escaped,
    so a comment may contain any characters, newlines, '~' and ';'
  * Stored in the document as [cmt=ID]...[/cmt] anchors plus one
    COMMENTS: line holding id~author~date~resolved~text records
    separated by ';'
  * Exchanged with other editors: native Word comments on DOCX
    (word/comments.xml) and native RTF annotations
    ({*atnid}/{*atnauthor}), and imported from both
  * Not carried over to Markdown or PDF export, which have no
    equivalent annotation concept

Typography & Text Editing
  * Dynamic TrueType font selection via dropdown menu
  * Automatic font caching for high-performance rendering
  * Rich-text support with instant DOM (Document Object Model) conversion
  * Undo / Redo stack support
  * Full clipboard integration (Cut, Copy, Paste)
  * Hard page breaks (Ctrl+Enter) with support in SLV, SLVX, RTF, DOCX
    and PDF export
  * Smooth mouse scrolling, text selection, and precise cursor navigation

Hardware & Printing
  * Integrated Direct PDF Print compatible networ printer setup
  * Preferences window for hardware and autosave.

HISTORY
-------

Version 0.8.8 (2026)
  - Added page headers and footers
  - Added Insert Row / Insert Column and Delete Rows / Delete Columns for tables
  - Added document comments: anchored text highlights, margin markers,
    hover tooltips, and a Review menu (add, edit, navigate, resolve,
    delete); comment ranges may span runs, paragraphs and table cells
  - Comments are saved in the document ([cmt=ID] anchors plus a COMMENTS:
    line) and kept in sync with the text, so a deleted or duplicated
    comment range cannot leave the document inconsistent
  - Comments round-trip through DOCX as native Word comments
    (word/comments.xml, commentRangeStart/End) and through RTF as
    native annotations; both formats are also imported
  - Fixed DOCX export of documents that contain only comments: the
    relationship and the comments part are now written to the package
    (word/_rels/document.xml.rels, [Content_Types].xml, word/comments.xml)
  - Fixed comment export inside table cells and comment ranges crossing
    a table, which previously lost the range or produced invalid XML
  - Comments are read from and written to .slv and .slvx

Version 0.8.7 (2026)
  - Improved tables
  - Resize table width and column borders on the page ruler by dragging,
    with outer edges locked to the page margins
  - Added the "Insert Table" toolbar button
  - Added an automatic Table of Contents (dot leaders + page numbers,
    clickable entries, update on demand)
  - Headings (H1-H3) are now saved with the document and exported
    to DOCX/RTF as Word heading styles and to Markdown as #, ##, ###
  - Added floating images with text wrapping (left/right anchored),
    drawn clickable, removable with Backspace/Delete, and included
    in PDF export ([fig:left|right;PATH;W;H] markup)

Version 0.8.6 (2026)
  - Added tables
  - Added versioning of the .slv file format (FORMAT:SLOVO / VERSION:1)
  - Enforced consistent program version across source, readme and catalogs

Version 0.8.3 (2026)
  - Initial public release
  - Added native RapaGUI interface with preferences panel
  - Implemented custom .slv file format with DOM parser
  - Multi-column rendering support (1 to 2 columns)
  - Background Autosave timer with configurable intervals
  - Native Recent Files manager (`ListRequest` integrated)
  - Network printer support setup in Preferences
  - Dynamic TTF font loader and text-wrapping engine
