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).
  • Formatspng, 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.
