1.0.0 — Your words. A journal.

Academic Editor Ultra 1.0.0

Write beside the printed page. Word and Markdown now share a guided manuscript editor; Markdown changes return to the connected note.

What changed

• Guided title, abstract, authors, correspondence, publication details, statements and running heads. Click the proof to reach the matching field. Full YAML remains available as an advanced view.
• Automatic saving after 500 ms; manual Refresh preview by default. Optional automatic preview waits for two seconds of inactivity. Source conflicts preserve both edits; failed composition cannot export an old PDF as current.
• Instant template switching. Three public presets and three portable template ZIPs: Academic Editor Ultra, Journal of Achmage, Journal of Command & Space. Private journal profiles remain in the user's library and are excluded from the public package.
• Figures and tables snap to Left column / Right column / Full width. Drag vertically, scroll at the edges, move between pages and undo the placement. A completed move triggers one composition. Captions remain attached to their object.
• Review PDFs allow editorial warnings. Final PDFs collect remaining warnings and offer an explicit override, recorded separately from review approval. Empty optional information and labels are omitted; missing artwork remains a warning.
• Korean UI when Obsidian uses Korean; English for other languages. Manuscript text is never translated.
• Native AF packages retain original PDF artwork separately from display previews, with asset hashes. Body frames remain linked through successive columns and pages. Affinity edits do not synchronize back to Markdown.

Verification

Check	Result
TypeScript, production build, lint	Passed
Automated tests	138 passed
Bundle, Community policy, release consistency	Passed
Dependency audit, production and complete tree	0 reported vulnerabilities on 2026-09-18
Isolated Obsidian editor	Markdown writeback, external conflict, undo, invalid YAML, stale-export prevention, template rollback and real DOCX import/reopen passed
Placement in Obsidian	No selection jump, edge scrolling, cancellation, page change, single composition, undo/redo and full-width control passed
CMDS Eagle 1.8.4	Actual paste handler with a mock upload endpoint; one upload, remote figure movement and placement persistence passed
UI languages	Korean and English inspected; Japanese Obsidian displayed English plugin controls
Native Affinity	Open, Save As, reopen and PDF export checked. Test document retained 24 frames, 15 stories and a seven-frame longest flow; both placed PDF logo hashes survived saving

The functional editor and placement runs completed without page errors. Some screenshot-only runs recorded intermittent Obsidian illegal access startup events without a JavaScript stack; the captures and exports completed. These are retained in the private validation logs, not counted as a clean run. Windows was tested directly; macOS and Linux hardware were not tested for this release.

Affinity has its own text engine: inspect final line breaks and the last linked frame. Missing fonts require installation or substitution. Public presets are demonstration identities, not actual research journals or institutional endorsements.

Package size

main.js: 18,235,119 bytes (18.24 MB / 17.39 MiB). Installation ZIP: 12,107,177 bytes (12.11 MB). Compared with the 0.2.0 candidate, the main bundle is 55,504 bytes smaller. CodeMirror core is provided by Obsidian; compiler and OCR resources remain offline.

The offline bundle exceeds Obsidian Sync Standard's 5 MB file limit. Install the plugin on each desktop directly if that plan cannot synchronize it.

Install and use

Extract the three plugin files into .obsidian/plugins/achmage-academic-editor-ultra/, then reload the plugin. Existing settings and projects are retained. Open Sample manuscript, edit the guided fields and choose Refresh preview.

For a portable preset, choose Template library → Import template ZIP. A preset includes its logo assets; fonts are discovered on the computer. The five gallery images show 1.0.0. The linked 90-second videos demonstrate 0.1.1.

Community directory review and GitHub release publication are separate statuses. A release does not imply that Community review has been approved.

Your words. A journal. — 0.1.1

Start with a working Markdown guide, choose a journal and compose. The guide itself becomes the sample output.

• Open sample manuscript in English or Korean, with original figures, tables, notes and references. Existing edits are preserved.
• Journal of Achmage in deep navy and Journal of Command & Space in teal and pink, with vector PDF logos and portable template ZIPs.
• English/Korean controls for the principal workflow; expanded, display-aware PDF preview.
• Actual bilingual video demonstrations, 15-second teasers, captions and five gallery images per language.

Requires Obsidian 1.8.9+. Independent of HanMark. Not yet listed in the Obsidian Community directory. Native AF export requires desktop. Fonts are discovered locally and are not distributed.

Validation and limits

122 tests and local build, type, lint, bundle, Community and release checks passed. The isolated Obsidian run produced four-page outputs for each language and each brand, with no captured runtime errors. Both wordmarks and their exported first pages retain vector artwork. Browser engine/OCR and repeated preview resizing were checked. Production dependency audit reported zero vulnerabilities at verification time. Windows, macOS and Linux CI runs are attached to this source commit; macOS hardware was not tested.

Reference candidates require human review. The AF demonstration validates the supported sample features, not every possible Affinity document; check the final text frame after edits. Affinity edits do not sync back to Markdown.
