## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
This PR introduces Internationalization (i18n) support, enabling users
to switch the UI language dynamically.
**What changes are included?**
- Core Logic: Added I18n class (`lib/I18n/I18n.h/cpp`) to manage
language state and string retrieval.
- Data Structures:
- `lib/I18n/I18nStrings.h/cpp`: Static string arrays for each supported
language.
- `lib/I18n/I18nKeys.h`: Enum definitions for type-safe string access.
- `lib/I18n/translations.csv`: single source of truth.
- Documentation: Added `docs/i18n.md` detailing the workflow for
developers and translators.
- New Settings activity:
`src/activities/settings/LanguageSelectActivity.h/cpp`
## Additional Context
This implementation (building on concepts from #505) prioritizes
performance and memory efficiency.
The core approach is to store all localized strings for each language in
dedicated arrays and access them via enums. This provides O(1) access
with zero runtime overhead, and avoids the heap allocations, hashing,
and collision handling required by `std::map` or `std::unordered_map`.
The main trade-off is that enums and string arrays must remain perfectly
synchronized—any mismatch would result in incorrect strings being
displayed in the UI.
To eliminate this risk, I added a Python script that automatically
generates `I18nStrings.h/.cpp` and `I18nKeys.h` from a CSV file, which
will serve as the single source of truth for all translations. The full
design and workflow are documented in `docs/i18n.md`.
### Next Steps
- [x] Python script `generate_i18n.py` to auto-generate C++ files from
CSV
- [x] Populate translations.csv with initial translations.
Currently available translations: English, Español, Français, Deutsch,
Čeština, Português (Brasil), Русский, Svenska.
Thanks, community!
**Status:** EDIT: ready to be merged.
As a proof of concept, the SPANISH strings currently mirror the English
ones, but are fully uppercased.

This partially fixes#769 but is dependent upon PR #827 being merged
along side this @daveallie. I removed my PNG conversion code after
finding out that PR was already created. Without this PR though that
book in #769 will still fail to load because of how it's stored in the
file

## Summary
- EPUB books with PNG cover images now display covers on the home screen
instead of blank rectangles
- Adds `PngToBmpConverter` library mirroring the existing
`JpegToBmpConverter` pattern
- Uses miniz (already in the project) for streaming zlib decompression
of PNG IDAT data
- Supports all PNG color types (Grayscale, RGB, RGBA, Palette,
Gray+Alpha)
- Optimized for ESP32-C3: batch grayscale conversion, 2KB read buffer,
same area-averaging scaling and Atkinson dithering as the JPEG path
## Changes
- **New:** `lib/PngToBmpConverter/PngToBmpConverter.h` — Public API
matching JpegToBmpConverter's interface
- **New:** `lib/PngToBmpConverter/PngToBmpConverter.cpp` — Streaming PNG
decoder + BMP converter
- **Modified:** `lib/Epub/Epub.cpp` — Added `.png` handling in
`generateCoverBmp()` and `generateThumbBmp()`
## Test plan
- [x] Tested with EPUB files using PNG covers — covers appear correctly
on home screen
- [ ] Verify with various PNG color types (most stock EPUBs use 8-bit
RGB)
- [ ] Confirm no regressions with JPEG cover EPUBs
<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
-->
## Summary by CodeRabbit
**New Features**
- Added PNG format support for EPUB cover and thumbnail images. PNG
files are automatically processed and cached alongside existing
supported formats. This enhancement enables users to leverage PNG cover
artwork when generating EPUB files, improving workflow flexibility and
compatibility with common image sources.

## Summary
* If an EPUB has:
```
<dc:creator>J.R.R. Tolkien</dc:creator>
<dc:creator>Christopher Tolkien</dc:creator>
```
the current result for epub.author would provide : "J.R.R.
TolkienChristopher Tolkien" (no separator!)
* The fix will seperate multiple authors: "J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher
Tolkien"
## Additional Context
* Simple fix in ContentOpfParser - I am not seeing any dependence on the
wrong concatenated result.

## Summary
This PR applies a micro optimization on `SerializedHyphenationPatterns`,
which allow reading `rootOffset` directly without having to parse then
cache it.
It should not affect storage space since no new bytes are added.
This also gets rid of the linear cache search whenever
`liangBreakIndexes` is called. In theory, the performance should be
improved a bit, although it may be too small to be noticeable in
practice.

## Summary
- Add embedded image support to EPUB rendering with JPEG and PNG
decoders
- Implement pixel caching system to cache decoded/dithered images to SD
card for faster re-rendering
- Add 4-level grayscale support for display
## Changes
### New Image Rendering System
- Add `ImageBlock` class to represent an image with its cached path and
display dimensions
- Add `PageImage` class as a new `PageElement` type for images on pages
- Add `ImageToFramebufferDecoder` interface for format-specific image
decoders
- Add `JpegToFramebufferConverter` - JPEG decoder with Bayer dithering
and scaling
- Add `PngToFramebufferConverter` - PNG decoder with Bayer dithering and
scaling
- Add `ImageDecoderFactory` to select appropriate decoder based on file
extension
- Add `getRenderMode()` to GfxRenderer for grayscale render mode queries
### Dithering and Grayscale
- Implement 4x4 Bayer ordered dithering for 4-level grayscale output
- Stateless algorithm works correctly with MCU block decoding
- Handles scaling without artifacts
- Add grayscale render mode support (BW, GRAYSCALE_LSB, GRAYSCALE_MSB)
- Image decoders and cache renderer respect current render mode
- Enables proper 4-level e-ink grayscale when anti-aliasing is enabled
### Pixel Caching
- Cache decoded/dithered images to `.pxc` files on SD card
- Cache format: 2-bit packed pixels (4 pixels per byte) with
width/height header
- On subsequent renders, load directly from cache instead of re-decoding
- Cache renderer supports grayscale render modes for multi-pass
rendering
- Significantly improves page navigation speed for image-heavy EPUBs
### HTML Parser Integration
- Update `ChapterHtmlSlimParser` to process `<img>` tags and extract
images from EPUB
- Resolve relative image paths within EPUB ZIP structure
- Extract images to cache directory before decoding
- Create `PageImage` elements with proper scaling to fit viewport
- Fall back to alt text display if image processing fails
### Build Configuration
- Add `PNG_MAX_BUFFERED_PIXELS=6402` to support up to 800px wide images
### Test Script
- Generate test EPUBs with annotated JPEG and PNG images
- Test cases cover: grayscale (4 levels), centering, scaling, cache
performance
## Test plan
- [x] Open EPUB with JPEG images - verify images display with proper
grayscale
- [x] Open EPUB with PNG images - verify images display correctly and no
crash
- [x] Navigate away from image page and back - verify faster load from
cache
- [x] Verify grayscale tones render correctly (not just black/white
dithering)
- [x] Verify large images are scaled down to fit screen
- [x] Verify images are centered horizontally
- [x] Verify page serialization/deserialization works with images
- [x] Verify images rendered in landscape mode

## Summary
Closes#766. Thank you for the help @bramschulting!
**What is the goal of this PR?**
- First and foremost, fix issue #766.
- Through working on that, I realized the current CSS parsing/loading
code can be improved dramatically for large files and still had
additional performance improvements to be made, even with EPUBs with
small CSS.
**What changes are included?**
- Stream CSS parsing and reuse normalization buffers to cut allocations
- Add rule limits and selector validation to release rules and free up
memory when needed
- Skip CSS parsing/loading entirely when "Book's Embedded Style" is off
## Additional Context
- My test EPUB has been updated
[here](https://github.com/jdk2pq/css-test-epub) to include a very large
CSS file to test this out

## Summary
Closes#743.
**What is the goal of this PR?**
- Add back handling for HTML entities in expat. This was originally part
of the code that got removed
[here](https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/274)
- Handle ` ` characters to resolve issue #743
**What changes are included?**
- Brought back HTML entity table from previous commit and refactored it
to use a static const char * table with linear lookup to reduce heap
allocations.
- Used `XML_SetDefaultHandlerExpand` in expat to parse out the entities
correctly, without needing them defined in DOCTYPE
- Added handling for ` ` so that the text stays together and
doesn't break onto a new line with text separated by an ` `
## Additional Context
- This supersedes [this
PR](https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/751)
that simply handled `nbsp;` as whitespace. Instead, we want that
character to serve its true purpose and affect the line-breaking
algorithm.
- Updated my test EPUB [here](https://github.com/jdk2pq/css-test-epub)
with ` ` characters examples at the end of the book

## Summary
* Definition and use of a central LOG function, that can later be
extended or completely be removed (for public use where debugging
information may not be required) to save flash by suppressing the
-DENABLE_SERIAL_LOG like in the slim branch
* **What changes are included?**
## Additional Context
* By using the central logger the usual:
```
#include <HardwareSerial.h>
...
Serial.printf("[%lu] [WCS] Obfuscating/deobfuscating %zu bytes\n", millis(), data.size());
```
would then become
```
#include <Logging.h>
...
LOG_DBG("WCS", "Obfuscating/deobfuscating %zu bytes", data.size());
```
You do have ``LOG_DBG`` for debug messages, ``LOG_ERR`` for error
messages and ``LOG_INF`` for informational messages. Depending on the
verbosity level defined (see below) soe of these message types will be
suppressed/not-compiled.
* The normal compilation (default) will create a firmware.elf file of
42.194.356 bytes, the same code via slim will create 42.024.048 bytes -
170.308 bytes less
* Firmware.bin : 6.469.984 bytes for default, 6.418.672 bytes for slim -
51.312 bytes less

## Summary
- Closes#730
**What is the goal of this PR?**
- Adds percentage-based value support to CSS properties that accept
percentages (padding, margin, text-indent)
**What changes are included?**
- Adds `Percent` as another CSS unit
- Passes the viewport width to `fromCssStyle` so that we can resolve
percentage-based values
- Adds a fallback of using an emspace for text-indent if we have an
unresolvable value for whatever reason
## Additional Context
- This was missed in my CSS support feature, and the fallback when we
encounter a percentage value is to use px instead. This means 5% (which
would be ~30px on the screen) turns into 5px. When percentages are used
in `text-indent`, this fallback behavior makes the indent look like a
single space character. Whoops! 😬
My test EPUB has been updated
[here](https://github.com/jdk2pq/css-test-epub) with percentage based
CSS values at the end of the book.

I had an epub that just showed a blank cover and wouldnt work for the
sleep screen either, turns out it was an epub3 and I guess we didn't
support that. Super simple fix here
## Summary
Continue my changes to introduce the HAL infrastructure from
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/522
This PR touches quite a lot of files, but most of them are just name
changing. It should not have any impacts to the end behavior.
## Additional Context
My plan is to firstly add this small shim layer, which sounds useless at
first, but then I'll implement an emulated driver which can be helpful
for testing and for development.
Currently, on my fork, I'm using a FS driver that allow "mounting" a
local directory from my computer to the device, much like the `-v` mount
option on docker. This allows me to quickly reset `.crosspoint`
directory if anything goes wrong. I plan to upstream this feature when
this PR get merged.

## Summary
Ref https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/737
This PR further reduce ~25ms from rendering time, testing inside the
Setting screen:
```
master:
[68440] [GFX] Time = 73 ms from clearScreen to displayBuffer
PR:
[97806] [GFX] Time = 47 ms from clearScreen to displayBuffer
```
And in extreme case (fill the entire screen with black or gray color):
```
master:
[1125] [ ] Test fillRectDither drawn in 327 ms
[1347] [ ] Test fillRect drawn in 222 ms
PR:
[1334] [ ] Test fillRectDither drawn in 225 ms
[1455] [ ] Test fillRect drawn in 121 ms
```
Note that
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/737 is NOT
applied on top of this PR. But with 2 of them combined, it should reduce
from 47ms --> 42ms
## Details
This PR based on the fact that function calls are costly if the function
is small enough. For example, this simple call:
```
int rotatedX = 0;
int rotatedY = 0;
rotateCoordinates(x, y, &rotatedX, &rotatedY);
```
Generated assembly code:
<img width="771" height="215" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/37991659-3304-41c3-a3b2-fb967da53f82"
/>
This adds ~10 instructions just to prepare the registers prior to the
function call, plus some more instructions for the function's
epilogue/prologue. Inlining it removing all of these:
<img width="1471" height="832" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b67a22ee-93ba-4017-88ed-c973e28ec914"
/>
Of course, this optimization is not magic. It's only beneficial under 3
conditions:
- The function is small, not in size, but in terms of effective
instructions. For example, the `rotateCoordinates` is simply a jump
table, where each branch is just 3-4 inst
- The function has multiple input arguments, which requires some move to
put it onto the correct place
- The function is called very frequently (i.e. critical path)

## Details
The original version is quite slow because it does quite a lot of
computations. A single pixel needs around 20 instructions just to know
if it's black or white:

/>
With the new, templated and more light-weight approach, each pixel takes
only 3-4 instructions, the modulo operator is translated into bitwise
ops:

## Summary
Reduce/fix the lag on the home screen before recent book covers are
rendered
## Additional Context
We were previously rendering the screen in two steps, delaying the
recent book covers render to avoid a lag before the screen loads.
In this PR, we are now doing that only if at least one book doesn't have
the cover thumbnail generated yet. If all thumbs are already generated,
we load and display them right away, with no lag.

Fixes issue #182
## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
When inline styles change mid-paragraph, words like periods, commas, and
quotes could end up as separate tokens. The justified text algorithm was
treating these as regular words, adding space before them.
**What changes are included?**
Now tracks which words are "attaching punctuation" (., , ! ? ; : " ' and
smart quotes) and excludes them from gap counting. These punctuation
marks attach directly to the preceding word without spacing.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
The goal of this PR is to deliver a fix for or at least mitigate the
impact of the issue described in #561
* **What changes are included?**
This PR includes a new option "Sunlight Fading Fix" under "Settings ->
Display".
When set to ON, we will disable the displays analog supply voltage after
every update and turn it back on before the next update.
## Additional Context
* Until now, I was only able to do limited testing because of limited
sunlight at my location, but the fix seems to be working. I'll also
attach a pre-built binary based on 0.16.0 (current master) with the fix
applied to the linked ticket, as building this fix is a bit annoying
because the submodule open-x4-sdk also needs an update.
* [PR in
open-x4-sdk](https://github.com/open-x4-epaper/community-sdk/pull/15)
needs to be merged first, we also need to add another commit to this
here PR, updating this dependency.
* I decided to hide this behind a default-OFF option. While I'm not
really concerned that this fix might potentially damage the display,
someone more knowledgeable on E-Ink technology could maybe have a look
at this.
* There's a binary attached in the linked issue, if someone has the
required sunlight to test this in-depth.

- Added a setting "UI Theme": Classic, Lyra
- The classic theme is the current Crosspoint theme
- The Lyra theme implements these mockups:

by Discord users yagofarias, ruby and gan_shu
- New functions in GFXRenderer to render rounded rectangles, greyscale
fills (using dithering) and thick lines
- Basic UI components are factored into BaseTheme methods which can be
overridden by each additional theme. Methods that are not overridden
will fallback to BaseTheme behavior. This means any new
features/components in CrossPoint only need to be developed for the
"Classic" BaseTheme.
- Additional themes can easily be developed by the community using this
foundation



## Additional Context
- Only the Home, Library and main Settings screens have been implemented
so far, this will be extended to the transfer screens and chapter
selection screen later on, but we need to get the ball rolling somehow
:)
- Loading extra covers on the home screen in the Lyra theme takes a
little more time (about 2 seconds), I added a loading bar popup (reusing
the Indexing progress bar from the reader view, factored into a neat UI
component) but the popup adds ~400ms to the loading time.
- ~~Home screen thumbnails will need to be generated separately for each
theme, because they are displayed in different sizes. Because we're
using dithering, displaying a thumb with the wrong size causes the
picture to look janky or dark as it does on the screenshots above. No
worries this will be fixed in a future PR.~~ Thumbs are now generated
with a size parameter
- UI Icons will need to be implemented in a future PR.

### AI Usage
While CrossPoint doesn't have restrictions on AI tools in contributing,
please be transparent about their usage as it
helps set the right context for reviewers.
Did you use AI tools to help write this code? _**PARTIALLY**_
This is not a vibe coded PR. Copilot was used for autocompletion to save
time but I reviewed, understood and edited all generated code.
