Made Up Words v0.17.0 — Aliases & per-language word adding

Two community-requested features, both from issue #2.

Resolves #2.

Added

  • Entry aliases. A dictionary entry can declare alternate surface forms via
    an aliases frontmatter field, and hover tooltips + highlighting treat every
    alias exactly like the headword:

    ---
    definition: the second month
    aliases: Feb, Febr
    ---

    Hovering or highlighting Feb or Febr resolves to the February entry.
    Accepts a comma-separated string or a YAML list; multi-word aliases are
    matched like phrases; aliases are shown in the tooltip
    ("February (also: Feb, Febr)").

  • Add a word to any language(s), including several at once. Highlight a word
    (or put the cursor on one), then right-click → "Add to Made Up Words
    dictionary…"
    or run "Add selection to dictionary". The Save dialog now
    lists every language with a checkbox and an editable, cypher-seeded form per
    language — tick one or several and an entry is created in each language's own
    folder at once (shared part of speech + definition). No more manually sorting
    words out of one default folder.

Fixed

  • New entries reliably create their target folder (with a clear error notice if
    it fails), so adding a word to a brand-new subfolder works.
  • Hover tooltips now show a concept across every active language at once
    combining both directions (word as a headword and as a definition) plus
    cross-language equivalents that share a definition. Hovering one language's
    form for a concept also surfaces the other languages' forms in one tooltip.

Install

Overwrite main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css in your
.obsidian/plugins/made-up-words/ folder with the assets attached to this
release, then reload the plugin. Your settings and dictionaries are preserved.
