## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
- Adds basic CSS parsing to EPUBs and determine the CSS rules when
rendering to the screen so that text is styled correctly. Currently
supports bold, underline, italics, margin, padding, and text alignment
## Additional Context
- My main reason for wanting this is that the book I'm currently
reading, Carl's Doomsday Scenario (2nd in the Dungeon Crawler Carl
series), relies _a lot_ on styled text for telling parts of the story.
When text is bolded, it's supposed to be a message that's rendered
"on-screen" in the story. When characters are "chatting" with each
other, the text is bolded and their names are underlined. Plus, normal
emphasis is provided with italicizing words here and there. So, this
greatly improves my experience reading this book on the Xteink, and I
figured it was useful enough for others too.
- For transparency: I'm a software engineer, but I'm mostly frontend and
TypeScript/JavaScript. It's been _years_ since I did any C/C++, so I
would not be surprised if I'm doing something dumb along the way in this
code. Please don't hesitate to ask for changes if something looks off. I
heavily relied on Claude Code for help, and I had a lot of inspiration
from how [microreader](https://github.com/CidVonHighwind/microreader)
achieves their CSS parsing and styling. I did give this as good of a
code review as I could and went through everything, and _it works on my
machine_ 😄

## Summary
Optimizes EPUB metadata indexing for large books (2000+ chapters) from
~30 minutes to ~50 seconds by replacing O(n²) algorithms with O(n log n)
hash-indexed lookups.
Fixes#134
## Problem
Three phases had O(n²) complexity due to nested loops:
| Phase | Operation | Before (2768 chapters) |
|-------|-----------|------------------------|
| OPF Pass | For each spine ref, scan all manifest items | ~25 min |
| TOC Pass | For each TOC entry, scan all spine items | ~5 min |
| buildBookBin | For each spine item, scan ZIP central directory | ~8.4
min |
Total: **~30+ minutes** for first-time indexing of large EPUBs.
## Solution
Replace linear scans with sorted hash indexes + binary search:
- **OPF Pass**: Build `{hash(id), len, offset}` index from manifest,
binary search for each spine ref
- **TOC Pass**: Build `{hash(href), len, spineIndex}` index from spine,
binary search for each TOC entry
- **buildBookBin**: New `ZipFile::fillUncompressedSizes()` API - single
ZIP central directory scan with batch hash matching
All indexes use FNV-1a hashing with length as secondary key to minimize
collisions. Indexes are freed immediately after each phase.
## Results
**Shadow Slave EPUB (2768 chapters):**
| Phase | Before | After | Speedup |
|-------|--------|-------|---------|
| OPF pass | ~25 min | 10.8 sec | ~140x |
| TOC pass | ~5 min | 4.7 sec | ~60x |
| buildBookBin | 506 sec | 34.6 sec | ~15x |
| **Total** | **~30+ min** | **~50 sec** | **~36x** |
**Normal EPUB (87 chapters):** 1.7 sec - no regression.
## Memory
Peak temporary memory during indexing:
- OPF index: ~33KB (2770 items × 12 bytes)
- TOC index: ~33KB (2768 items × 12 bytes)
- ZIP batch: ~44KB (targets + sizes arrays)
All indexes cleared immediately after each phase. No OOM risk on
ESP32-C3.
## Note on Threshold
All optimizations are gated by `LARGE_SPINE_THRESHOLD = 400` to preserve
existing behavior for small books. However, the algorithms work
correctly for any book size and are faster even for small books:
| Book Size | Old O(n²) | New O(n log n) | Improvement |
|-----------|-----------|----------------|-------------|
| 10 ch | 100 ops | 50 ops | 2x |
| 100 ch | 10K ops | 800 ops | 12x |
| 400 ch | 160K ops | 4K ops | 40x |
If preferred, the threshold could be removed to use the optimized path
universally.
## Testing
- [x] Shadow Slave (2768 chapters): 50s first-time indexing, loads and
navigates correctly
- [x] Normal book (87 chapters): 1.7s indexing, no regression
- [x] Build passes
- [x] clang-format passes
## Files Changed
- `lib/Epub/Epub/parsers/ContentOpfParser.h/.cpp` - OPF manifest index
- `lib/Epub/Epub/BookMetadataCache.h/.cpp` - TOC index + batch size
lookup
- `lib/ZipFile/ZipFile.h/.cpp` - New `fillUncompressedSizes()` API
- `lib/Epub/Epub.cpp` - Timing logs
<details>
<summary><b>Algorithm Details</b> (click to expand)</summary>
### Phase 1: OPF Pass - Manifest to Spine Lookup
**Problem**: Each `<itemref idref="ch001">` in spine must find matching
`<item id="ch001" href="...">` in manifest.
```
OLD: For each of 2768 spine refs, scan all 2770 manifest items
= 7.6M string comparisons
NEW: While parsing manifest, build index:
{ hash("ch001"), len=5, file_offset=120 }
Sort index, then binary search for each spine ref:
2768 × log₂(2770) ≈ 2768 × 11 = 30K comparisons
```
### Phase 2: TOC Pass - TOC Entry to Spine Index Lookup
**Problem**: Each TOC entry with `href="chapter0001.xhtml"` must find
its spine index.
```
OLD: For each of 2768 TOC entries, scan all 2768 spine entries
= 7.6M string comparisons
NEW: At beginTocPass(), read spine once and build index:
{ hash("OEBPS/chapter0001.xhtml"), len=25, spineIndex=0 }
Sort index, binary search for each TOC entry:
2768 × log₂(2768) ≈ 30K comparisons
Clear index at endTocPass() to free memory.
```
### Phase 3: buildBookBin - ZIP Size Lookup
**Problem**: Need uncompressed file size for each spine item (for
reading progress). Sizes are in ZIP central directory.
```
OLD: For each of 2768 spine items, scan ZIP central directory (2773 entries)
= 7.6M filename reads + string comparisons
Time: 506 seconds
NEW:
Step 1: Build targets from spine
{ hash("OEBPS/chapter0001.xhtml"), len=25, index=0 }
Sort by (hash, len)
Step 2: Single pass through ZIP central directory
For each entry:
- Compute hash ON THE FLY (no string allocation)
- Binary search targets
- If match: sizes[target.index] = uncompressedSize
Step 3: Use sizes array directly (O(1) per spine item)
Total: 2773 entries × log₂(2768) ≈ 33K comparisons
Time: 35 seconds
```
### Why Hash + Length?
Using 64-bit FNV-1a hash + string length as a composite key:
- Collision probability: ~1 in 2⁶⁴ × typical_path_lengths
- No string storage needed in index (just 12-16 bytes per entry)
- Integer comparisons are faster than string comparisons
- Verification on match handles the rare collision case

## Summary
This was originally a comment in #499, but I'm making it its own PR,
because it doesn't depend on anything there and then I can base that PR
on this one.
Currently, `drawBitmap` is used for covers and sleep wallpaper, and
`drawImage` is used for the boot logo. `drawBitmap` goes row by row and
pixel by pixel, so it respects the renderer orientation. `drawImage`
just calls the `EInkDisplay`'s `drawImage`, which works in the eink
panel's native display orientation.
`drawImage` rotates the x,y coordinates where it's going to draw the
image, but doesn't account for the fact that the northwest corner in
portrait orientation becomes, the southwest corner of the image
rectangle in the native orientation. The boot and sleep activities
currently work around this by calculating the north*east* corner of
where the image should go, which becomes the northwest corner after
`rotateCoordinates`.
I think this wasn't really apparent because the CrossPoint logo is
rotationally symmetrical. The `EInkDisplay` `drawImage` always draws the
image in native orientation, but that looks the same for the "X" image.
If we rotate the origin coordinate in `GfxRenderer`'s `drawImage`, we
can use a much clearer northwest corner coordinate in the boot and sleep
activities. (And then, in #499, we can actually rotate the boot screen
to the user's preferred orientation).
This does *not* yet rotate the actual bits in the image; it's still
displayed in native orientation. This doesn't affect the
rotationally-symmetric logo, but if it's ever changed, we will probably
want to allocate a new `u8int[]` and transpose rows and columns if
necessary.
## Additional Context
I've created an additional branch on top of this to demonstrate by
replacing the logo with a non-rotationally-symmetrical image:
<img width="128" height="128" alt="Cat-in-a-pan-128-bw"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d0b239bc-fe75-4ec8-bc02-9cf9436ca65f"
/>
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/compare/master...maeveynot:rotated-cat
(many thanks to https://notisrac.github.io/FileToCArray/)
As you can see, it is always drawn in native orientation, which makes it
sideways (turned clockwise) in portrait.

## Summary
* Fixes#519
* Refactors repeated code into new function:
`ChapterHtmlSlimParser::flushPartWordBuffer()`
## Additional Context
* The `<br/>` tag is self closing and _in-line_, so the existing logic
for closing block tags does not get applied to `<br/>` tags.
* This PR adds the _in-line_ logic to:
* Flush the word preceding the `<br/>` tag from `partWordBuffer` to
`currentTextBlock` before calling `startNewTextBlock`
* **New function**: `ChapterHtmlSlimParser::flushPartWordBuffer()`
* **Purpose**: Consolidates the logic for flushing `partWordBuffer` to
`currentTextBlock`
* **Impact**: Simplifies `ChapterHtmlSlimParser::characterData(…)`,
`ChapterHtmlSlimParser::startElement(…)`, and
`ChapterHtmlSlimParser::endElement(…)` by integrating reused code into
single function

## Summary
* Add additional punctuation marks to the list of characters that can be
immediately followed by a line break even where there is no explicit
space
## Additional Context
* Huge appreciation to @osteotek for his amazing work on hyphenation.
Reading on the device is so much better now.
* I am getting bad line breaks when ellipses (…) are between words and
book file does not explicitly include some kind of breaking space.
* Per
[discussion](https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/305#issuecomment-3765411406),
several new characters are added in this PR to the `isExplicitHyphen`
list to allow line breaks immediately after them:
Character | Unicode | Usage | Why include it?
-- | -- | -- | --
Solidus (Slash) | U+002F | / | Essential for breaking URLs and "and/or"
constructs.
Backslash | U+005C | \ | Critical for technical text, file paths, and
coding documentation.
Underscore | U+005F | _ | Prevents "runaway" line lengths in usernames
or code snippets.
Middle Dot | U+00B7 | · | Acts as a semantic separator in dictionaries
or stylistic lists.
Ellipsis | U+2026 | … | Prevents justification failure when dialogue
lacks following spaces.
Midline Horizontal Ellipsis | U+22EF | ⋯ | Useful for mathematical
sequences and technical notation.
### Example:
This shows an example of what line breaking looks like *with* this PR.
Note the line break after "matter…" (which would not previously have
been allowed). It's particularly important here because the book
includes non-breaking spaces in "Mr. Aldrich" and "Mr. Rockefeller."

## Summary
* Adds (optional) Hyphenation for English, French, German, Russian
languages
## Additional Context
* Included hyphenation dictionaries add approximately 280kb to the flash
usage (German alone takes 200kb)
* Trie encoded dictionaries are adopted from hypher project
(https://github.com/typst/hypher)
* Soft hyphens (and other explicit hyphens) take precedence over
dict-based hyphenation. Overall, the hyphenation rules are quite
aggressive, as I believe it makes more sense on our smaller screen.

The current behavior of rendering `?` for an unknown Unicode character
can be hard to distinguish from a typo. Use the standard Unicode
"replacement character" instead, that's what it's designed for:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_(Unicode_block)
I'm making this PR as a draft because I'm not sure I did everything that
was needed to change the character set covered by the fonts. Running
that script is in its own commit. If this is proper, I'll rebase/squash
into one commit and un-draft.
