Inkbound 1.7.0

Inkbound now runs on Obsidian mobile. Export a note, a folder, or a note and
everything it links to from your phone or tablet — and push it to your Boox
over Wi-Fi — without a computer anywhere in the loop.

• iOS and Android support — the plugin loads and exports on Obsidian
  mobile, with the same three exports, the same chapter order, the same table
  of contents, and the same covers, math, diagrams and Thai fonts as on
  desktop.
• Books are saved into your vault on mobile, in the folder set by the new
  Output folder (mobile) setting (Exports by default) — a phone has no
  save-anywhere filesystem. From there you can open the book in a reading app
  or reach it through your device's own file access.
• Desktop and mobile have separate output settings, and each device only
  reads and writes its own. If you sync your vault, changing the mobile folder
  on your phone can never move where your desktop saves books.
• Share last exported book — a new command hands the finished book to your
  device's share sheet. It appears only where sharing is supported; where it
  isn't, the book is still saved exactly where the notice said.
• Progress while exporting — long exports now report chapter 3/24
  instead of sitting on a single message, on desktop as well as mobile.
• Fixed: images served through app:// could resolve to a broken path.
  When the vault had no filesystem base path, the fallback that recovers such
  images by filename never ran. This affected every image on mobile, and any
  desktop vault whose adapter isn't a filesystem one.
• Desktop exports are unchanged — same output folder, same file contents.

Inkbound 1.6.0

Chapter titles now come from the notes themselves, so a book's table of
contents reads like a real book instead of showing filenames.

• First-heading titles — each chapter's title is its note's first #
  heading (03_recursion with # Recursion now appears as Recursion),
  everywhere a chapter title shows up: the table of contents, the navigation
  document, and the "Linked from:" backlink trails.
• Alias fallback — a note with no heading but a frontmatter aliases
  entry (plain string or list) is titled by it, mirroring how the book title
  is resolved.
• Filename last — notes with neither keep the previous filename-based
  behavior, so nothing changes for books that don't opt in.
• Deterministic and never-failing: title resolution can never abort an export,
  and empty or whitespace-only headings are ignored rather than producing
  blank titles. In folder exports the index note's own heading (often the book
  title) becomes the first TOC entry — expected behavior.

Inkbound 1.5.1

Fixes every finding from the Obsidian community-plugin review.

• Review blocker fixed — MathJax SVG parsing no longer assigns
  function-parameter strings to innerHTML; it parses through DOMParser
  with an instanceof SVGSVGElement guard instead (same behavior, lint-clean).
• Code-masking sentinel — the math detector's code-region sentinel is now
  a private-use-area character instead of an ASCII control char, which the
  review's regex lint rejects.
• createEl shortcuts — createDiv()/createSpan() replace the
  createEl("div")/createEl("span") forms the review's lint prefers; the
  embed-flattening path drops its document fragment for multi-node
  replaceWith.
• Typed MathJax boundary — explicit casts over mathjax-full's
  loosely-typed adaptor surface (no more no-unsafe-assignment /
  no-unsafe-argument warnings).
• Settings action contract — the declarative "Test connection" action
  returns void as SettingDefinitionAction requires.
• The local-export harness installs the DOMParser/SVGSVGElement globals
  the new parsing path uses, so the harness keeps exercising real SVG
  parsing.

Inkbound 1.5.0

Math in notes now exports as typeset pictures, so technical notes read
properly on e-ink.

• Inline and display math — $...$ and $$...$$ LaTeX renders at export
  time (MathJax, bundled and offline) and embeds as PNG images, the same
  strategy Mermaid uses, so it displays identically on readers that cannot
  draw inline SVG (verified: Boox Neo Reader).
• Graceful degradation — broken LaTeX renders as MathJax's red error
  output with an export warning; non-Latin text inside math (e.g. Thai)
  restores the original source text with a warning; rasterization failure
  keeps a spec-valid inline SVG. Math never blocks an export.
• Code-aware detection — $ inside fenced code blocks, inline code
  spans, escaped \$, currency ($50), and empty/unclosed delimiters are
  never treated as math, matching Obsidian's own rules.
• Deterministic rendering (identical exports from identical notes) is
  enforced by tests; the epubcheck sample now includes real MathJax SVG
  chapters.

Thai books now carry their own font, so Thai renders consistently on e-ink
regardless of the device's font coverage.

• Noto Sans Thai embedded automatically — books whose chapters contain
  Thai get Regular + Bold (static instances, SIL OFL 1.1) written into the
  EPUB with @font-face rules and a font-family chain that keeps Latin in
  the reader's default font. The OFL license ships inside the book.
• Embed Thai font setting (default ON) — OFF keeps every book
  fontless; books without Thai are structurally identical to pre-feature
  exports.
• Fonts are bundled in the plugin (offline); a broken bundle degrades to a
  valid fontless book with a warning, never a failed export. epubcheck
  validates the font-bearing sample every CI run.

Inkbound 1.4.0

The table of contents now reaches inside chapters, so long notes are
navigable on an e-ink reader without scrolling.

• Heading sub-entries — every chapter's headings appear as nested links
  under its title in the EPUB's TOC (nav.xhtml), mirroring the document's
  heading hierarchy. Tapping one jumps straight to that section in the
  chapter.
• TOC heading depth setting — a dropdown (default level 3) controls how
  deep the sub-entries go, from level 1 through level 6; Off restores the
  plain chapter-only TOC byte-for-byte.
• First-heading rules — a chapter's leading # heading is its title and
  is not duplicated as a sub-entry; duplicate heading texts get unique
  anchors (-2, -3), and heading text with quotes, ampersands, or Thai
  characters displays correctly with valid, resolvable anchors.
• Sub-entries link to anchors stamped into the chapter documents, keeping
  every book epubcheck-clean under EPUB 3.3 rules (verified with epubcheck
  5.3.0), including on books with duplicate or exotic heading text.

Inkbound 1.3.0

Books can now carry cover art, and they show it off properly on an e-reader.

• cover: frontmatter field — point it at an image in the vault (a
  path, a bare filename, a [[wikilink]], or an ![[embed]]) or at a remote
  URL, and the export embeds it as the EPUB 3 cover (properties="cover-image"
  • <meta name="cover">), so the Boox library shelf shows the artwork
    instead of a placeholder.
• First-image fallback — no cover: (or legacy coverUrl:) at all? The
  first image embed in the metadata note (outside code fences) becomes the
  cover, so existing vaults gain covers with zero frontmatter changes.
• Cover page — books with a cover open on a full-page, centered cover
  document as the first spine item. The cover page never appears in the table
  of contents; a landmarks entry keeps it reachable (epubcheck-clean under
  EPUB 3.3 rules, verified with epubcheck 5.3.0).
• Formats — png, jpg/jpeg, and webp are accepted as covers (all
  EPUB 3.3 core media types); anything else degrades with a warning, and a
  broken cover: reference never fails an export — the book still builds,
  coverless, with a warning naming the file.
• cover: takes precedence over the legacy coverUrl: when both are
  present; coverUrl: alone keeps working exactly as before.

Inkbound 1.2.0

Block-scoped embeds (![[Note^blockid]]) now work for every kind of block
Obsidian lets you label, instead of only paragraphs and headings.

• Tables, code blocks, callouts and blockquotes, and whole lists render their
  real content where they used to degrade to an "[embedded content omitted]"
  placeholder.
• A block ID on a single list item now works too, and brings that item's
  nested sub-items along with it — matching how Obsidian itself displays a
  block reference to a list item. Sibling items are not included, and an
  embedded numbered item keeps its original number (embedding step 3 shows
  "3.", not "1.").
• An indented block renders as the kind of thing it is: a nested bullet comes
  out as a bullet rather than a grey code box, while an indented-style code
  block keeps the indentation that makes it code.
• The ^blockid marker itself is now guaranteed never to appear as stray text
  in an exported book, for every block type — including the paragraph and
  heading embeds that already worked. A caret inside embedded code (a regex, an
  exponent) is left untouched.
• Individual table rows remain un-embeddable: Obsidian exposes a table as one
  whole block, so a ^id typed inside a cell is ordinary cell text. Such a
  reference degrades with the same "block not found" warning as any other
  unresolvable block ID.

Inkbound 1.1.0

Chapters now carry a backlink trail: a "Linked from:" line listing every other
chapter in the same book that links to them, so a knowledge graph of
interconnected notes can be navigated backwards on an e-reader (#1).

• Every export mode gets it (single note, folder, note + linked notes); a
  chapter nothing links to shows no line at all, and a single-note book never
  shows one.
• Entries appear in the book's own chapter order, once per linking chapter,
  no matter how many times or in which form (alias, heading, block link,
  embed) it links.
• A new Backlink listing position setting controls placement: start of
  chapter (default), end, both, or none — none restores the previous
  behavior exactly.
• Works with any content language; the label itself is fixed English.

Inkbound 1.0.8

Heading- and block-scoped note embeds (![[Note#Heading]], ![[Note^blockid]])
now render, instead of always degrading to a placeholder.

• A heading-scoped embed shows that heading plus everything under it, down to
  the next heading of equal or higher level — matching how Obsidian itself
  scopes a heading link. Nested embeds inside the extracted section resolve
  the same way they do inside a whole-note embed.
• A block-scoped embed shows just the single paragraph or heading carrying
  that block ID. A block ID on a list item, table row, or other block type
  still degrades to the placeholder — extracting those would require
  synthesizing a wrapping list/table around a single item just to keep the
  output valid, which isn't attempted here.
• An embed whose note exists but whose heading or block can't be found
  degrades to the existing placeholder with a warning that specifically says
  so ("heading not found" / "block not found"), distinct from a missing note.

Inkbound 1.0.7

Note embeds (![[note]]) now actually work in exported books.

• Embedded notes render their real content into the chapter, exactly once,
  where the embed appears. Previously an embed could come out as a bare note
  name with no content, or duplicated — Obsidian fills embeds in asynchronously
  on its own schedule, and the export raced it. The exporter now renders its
  own copy of each embedded note and ignores whatever Obsidian's loader did or
  didn't produce in the meantime, so the result no longer depends on timing.
• Nested embeds render recursively; circular embeds are cut off safely with a
  warning instead of hanging the export.
• A broken embed (renamed or deleted note) degrades to a readable
  [embedded content omitted: ...] placeholder plus an export warning —
  Obsidian's "is not created yet. Click to create." text no longer leaks into
  the book. Heading- and block-scoped embeds (![[Note#Heading]]) degrade the
  same way with an "unsupported embed scope" warning; rendering just the
  referenced section is not supported yet.
• Image embeds (![[figure.png]]) are unwrapped to a plain image tag with the
  caption as its alt text — the wrapper markup Obsidian emits is not valid in
  EPUB XHTML and was failing epubcheck.
• If the vault hasn't allowed Mermaid rendering (Obsidian's per-vault trust
  prompt), the export keeps the diagram's source as a code block and warns,
  instead of shipping the trust prompt's UI — including its inert "Allow"
  button — into the book.
