TextLayer appends into the container without clearing it, so any
re-render of the same page doc (zoom settle, spread-scale update)
stacked a second span set at sub-pixel-shifted positions — selection
text reads doubled. Clear the container (stale spans + previous
endOfContent helper) before each TextLayer render.
Second member of the 50f56ee guard family: the scroll-anchor tick
(#afterScroll) can run before the iframe document is parsed, throwing
'createTreeWalker' on null body. getVisibleRange now returns null for
that tick and #afterScroll preserves the previous visibility state.
Observed live in the Android app on PalmDOC open.
A queued resize tick can run against a not-yet-parsed or unloaded
iframe; documentElement is null then and expand() threw inside the
ResizeObserver callback. Observed live in the Android app (twice in
row during boot and page turns). Follows the 50f56ee guard family.
rtf.js: a minimal single-pass RTF tokenizer extracting document text
with paragraph structure — groups, control words with signed params,
\\'hh Windows-1252 escapes, \\uN unicode with \\ucN fallback skipping,
known text destinations skipped whole (fonttbl/colortbl/stylesheet/
info/headers/pict/field/...), spec-required ignoring of unknown words.
Format runs are intentionally not converted; RTF is read as styled
text like .txt.
pdb.js: the TEXt/REAd PalmDOC container (PalmDOC, TealDoc) — the PDB
record reader and LZ77 decompressor are shared from mobi.js (both
exported; upstream already carried the TODO for this path). Records
decode as Windows-1252 and feed the plain-text pipeline (paragraph
split, line join, ~150KB sectioning, Part N TOC).
makeBook dispatch: content-based (TEXtREAd magic at offset 60;
'{\\rtf' magic), after MOBI and before the text branch.
Tests: node harness covering store + compressed PalmDOC, RTF paragraphs
/escapes/unicode/hex/destination-skipping, makeBook routing; txt/docx
regression suites pass.
The ResizeObserver can fire while the iframe document is still unset:
setImageSize dereferenced doc.body unconditionally and
setStylesImportant destructure-crashed on null, killing the render
loop — the view then never snapped or relocated again (observed in an
embedded Android WebView where the first observation lands pre-load).
Guard both paths.
makeDocxBook: the docx blob goes straight to mammoth.convertToHtml
(mammoth unzips internally; the browser entry takes {arrayBuffer}, the
node entry {buffer}). Converted HTML is sectioned at block-element
boundaries into ~150KB chunks (string-level — no DOMParser), giving a
Part N TOC; images inline as data URIs by default.
makeBook: zip files whose entries contain word/document.xml route to
the docx branch before the EPUB fallback (previously they died inside
new EPUB(...) on the missing container.xml).
mammoth is the fork's first runtime dependency: updates and security
fixes flow via semver; the browser-field mappings swap its node unzip
for the browser one; the dynamic import keeps it out of every other
format's path.
makeTextBook: UTF-8 decode (BOM stripped), blank-line paragraph split,
hard-wrapped lines joined (natural reflow under font-size changes), HTML
escaped, sections capped at ~150KB at paragraph boundaries (small Part N
TOC, avoids one giant DOM). Sections expose load/createDocument/size per
the reflowable interface; positions for txt books are percentage-based
(sections get fake CFIs from index, same as other non-EPUB books).
makeBook: dispatches text/plain or .txt in the final non-zip/non-pdf
branch. EPUB/PDF/CBZ/MOBI/FB2 routing untouched.
Tests: offline node harness (isText, paragraph join/split, escaping,
section capping, TOC shape, dispatch incl. zip-still-routes-to-EPUB).
npm's cache reuse keyed on name@version (stuck at 0.0.0) silently served
stale tarballs to Docker builds; bumping on every deploy-worthy change
forces fresh resolution.
Previously, zip.js and fflate were built from the main Foliate repo.
And PDF.js files were copied manually. Now they all build here.
Unfortunately, two CSS files still need to be copied manually.
