Material You 3 eBook/audiobook reader — Episteme fork + bookshelf-api/ABS
* Fixed virtualization data indexing and improved text file to EPUB conversion logic. - Corrected array indexing for `chunksData` and `chunkHeights` in `epub_reader.js` to prevent overwriting entire arrays. - Refined virtualization intersection observer to properly restore and unload chunk content using index-based caching. - Updated `SingleFileImporter.kt` to convert plain text into structured HTML paragraphs instead of a single `pre` tag. - Enhanced CSS styles for imported single-file documents and added HTML entity escaping. * Adjusted text layout and enhanced pagination mismatch logging * Configured `PlatformTextStyle` and `LineHeightStyle` to improve text measurement consistency. * Updated `checkLayoutMismatch` to include text snippets and handle zero expected height. * Refined `Modifier` application order in the reader view. * Ensured `maxHeight` is set to `Infinity` during text measurement in `Paginator`. |
