Lectern 1.0.1

Fixed

• The VS Marketplace badges on the extension page no longer show "retired badge".

Changed

• The README links to GitHub Releases, where every version's VSIX can be downloaded,
  and lists the editors built on VS Code that Lectern works in (Cursor, Windsurf,
  Antigravity, VSCodium).

Lectern 1.0.0

The first release of Lectern: a calm, distraction-free reading view for Markdown.

Reading

• Opens .md, .markdown and .mdx files as a clean reading page in the same tab.
  Ctrl+Alt+R / Cmd+Alt+R, the book button in the editor title bar, or the Explorer
  menu switches to it; the same shortcut goes back to the source.
• Five palettes: Editor (follows your VS Code theme), Light, Sepia, Dark and Black, with
  High Contrast support.
• In-view settings panel for palette, font (Sans / Serif / Mono), text size, line width
  and line spacing, saved as regular lectern.* settings.
• Outline panel that tracks the current section, a reading-progress bar, and a word
  count with reading time.
• Live updates while you edit the source in a split editor.
• Requires VS Code 1.82 or newer.

Markdown

• GitHub Flavored Markdown: tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks.
• Syntax-highlighted code blocks (35+ languages) with a language label and copy button.
• Obsidian callouts, including foldable ones ([!tip]- / [!tip]+), and GitHub alerts
  (> [!WARNING]).
• Math with KaTeX: $inline$, $$display$$ and ```math blocks. Dollar
  amounts like "$5 and $10" stay text; \$ is a literal dollar.
• Mermaid diagrams (```mermaid), drawn in the reading palette and redrawn
  when it changes. Mermaid only loads for notes that contain a diagram.
• Full-screen diagram viewer: click a diagram to zoom (wheel, buttons, +/-),
  pan (drag, arrow keys), fit (0) and close (Esc).
• Emoji shortcodes (:rocket:, :+1:, …) from GitHub's list.
• YAML front matter shown as a properties block, with tags as chips.
• Click an image to view it full window.

Notes and links

• Clickable task lists: ticking a box updates [ ] / [x] in the file.
• Wiki links and embeds: [[Note]], [[Note#Heading]], [[Note|label]],
  ![[image.png|300]], videos and folder paths, resolved across the workspace. Missing
  notes get a dashed underline.
• Links to other Markdown files open in Lectern, at the #heading if there is one; web
  links open in the browser.

Accessibility and safety

• Keyboard and screen-reader friendly panels and viewer, visible focus, and reduced
  motion when the OS asks for it.
• Scripts in Markdown never run, links can't trigger VS Code commands, and formulas and
  diagrams can't add links or scripts.
