  • docs: write up everything that arrived after v1.1.0 Six pages, with the release on each new heading the way the v1.1.0 ones were. Variables gains the stand-ins - `default:` and `or:`, what counts as a gap, and how they differ from `?`, which removes the key rather than filling it - the `json` step, and the three resolvers that complete the set: `floor`, and the `area_id` and `device_id` that are for building an entity id rather than showing a name. Repeating a Template gains the half of it that was missing: narrowing by device class, integration and `exclude`; ordering, `limit` and the `total` that outlives it; `range`; the `empty` card; reaching into a nested item; and a card per area that knows what is in it, which is the shape people actually build and now has a screenshot of it working. Styling gains `gap` and the `grid_options` a template can declare once, both with a note on why they are custom properties rather than rules. Visual Editors gains what the editors learned to do - say what a repeat matches before you save it, warn that something uses this template, reorder the declared variables, duplicate, move a dashboard off the original card's names, and start from the built-in library - with screenshots of each. Troubleshooting gains the template that uses itself, which used to take the tab with it, along with did-you-mean, `debug`, `strict` and the note about a repeat that matched half the house. The reference tables carry all of it, including a table of what every copy of a repeat is given and where it comes from. Every internal link and anchor across all 22 pages checks out.

  • docs: write up the v1.1.0 features, with the release on each new heading New headings now carry the release they arrived in, the way TaskMate's wiki does, so you can tell from the page whether the version you are running has the thing it describes. Only headings for things that are actually new are tagged - the pages that predate the convention are left alone. Covers what has landed since v1.0.0: asking Home Assistant what an entity is called, optional placeholders, escaping brackets, repeating over the registry, numbering copies, leaving out a copy with nothing to show, fit: contents, shared dashboard defaults, and the Result panel in the card editor.
