- Left margin indentation for list items (`<ol>`/`<ul>`)
- Fixed ordered lists showing bullets instead of numbers
- Fixed nested `<p>` inside `<li>` causing marker on separate line

### Bug Fixes

---

## ef-1.0.3

## ef-1.0.2

**Quick Menu Enhancements**

  - Automatically reindexes content for new screen dimensions

  - New "Edit List Order" option at bottom of menu
  - Pick-and-place reordering: select item, navigate to destination, place
  - Order persists across sessions

---

## ef-1.0.1

**Dictionary Stability & UX Improvements**

### Bug Fixes - Stability

- Fixed dictionary crashes caused by heap fragmentation from repeated page navigation
- Refactored TextBlock/ParsedText from `std::list` to `std::vector`, reducing heap allocations by ~12x per TextBlock
  - Affects EPUB reader page rendering, dictionary definition display, and word selection
  - Contiguous memory improves cache locality during text layout and reduces heap fragmentation on the memory-constrained ESP32
- Added uncompressed dictionary (`.dict`) support to avoid decompression memory issues with large dictzip chunks (58KB chunks -> direct read)
- Implemented chunked on-demand HTML parsing for large definitions, parsing pages as user navigates rather than all at once
- Limited cached pages to 4 with re-parse capability for backward navigation beyond cache window
- Fixed double-button press bug when loading new dictionary chunks

### Bug Fixes - UI/Layout

- Restored proper orientation-aware button hint spacing (front: 45px, side: 50px)
- Added side button hints to definition screen with "<" / ">" labels for page navigation
- Added side button hints to word selection screen ("UP"/"DOWN" labels, borderless, small font)
- Added side button hints to dictionary menu ("< Prev", "Next >")
- Moved page indicator up to avoid bezel cutoff in landscape orientations
