LYH Studio episode 6 colours the "1969" headline (8:28) and the loop's
stroke (9:15) from the Swatches panel, whose header holds InDesign's
Fill/Stroke proxy, Formatting Affects Container/Text and the Tint field.
- Header: a Fill/Stroke proxy showing the colours of what colour edits
apply to (panels::color_target; a click brings the other to the front,
as X does), the container/text buttons (app.formattingAffectsText) and
the tint of the colour in front.
- The Tint field sends only the tint, so each selected object (or run of
text) keeps its own swatch: object.fill takes a tint without a swatch,
and a stroke tint alone doesn't give a stroke-less object a stroke.
- Clicking a swatch applies it to the fill or stroke in front
(panels::apply_swatch, to the text when colours affect text); that row
is highlighted.
- Bottom row: New Color Group, New Swatch, Delete Swatch (the swatch last
clicked). Rows and the proxy are named for accessibility (and tests).

Add multi-click text selection, pending caret formatting and clipboard support, text-aware colour controls, guide/grid snapping, and frame threading with loaded-port interactions.
Include the layout, drop-cap and IDML updates carried from #83, with safeguards for generated and linked stories, external text references, local IDs, locked frames and atomic colour edits.
Fixes#23.

The Pages panel menu in Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool
and Liquid Layout" (0:47) reads: Insert Pages…, Move Pages…, Duplicate
Spread, Duplicate Spread at End of Document, Delete Spread, … New
Parent…, Apply Parent to Pages…, Override All Parent Page Items, Parent
Pages ▸, Create Alternate Layout…, Numbering & Section Options…, Allow
Selected Spread to Shuffle. DesignCraft's menu (and the page thumbnails'
context menu) had Insert Page After, Delete Page, Duplicate Spread, Add
to Previous Spread, Allow Spread to Shuffle and the parent items in
another order.
- Pages panel menu and page context menu in InDesign's order and labels:
Insert Pages… and Move Pages… open their dialogs for the page; Delete
Spread for a spread of several pages; Parent Pages ▸ holds Remove All
Local Overrides and Detach All Objects from Parent; Create Alternate
Layout… and Numbering & Section Options… open theirs. Add to Previous
Spread stays last (InDesign drags pages into spreads instead).
- Translations (pt-BR gains the existing items it lacked).
Builds on #869 (Duplicate Spread at End of Document).

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (0:42,
2:06) holds Option and drags a page in the Pages panel to copy it,
drags a page onto the New Page button to duplicate it ("click and drag
onto my plus sign I can duplicate that"), and resizes pages; InDesign's
panel also has an Edit page size button. DesignCraft's panel only moved
pages on drag, had no Edit page size button, and duplicating a page gave
the copy the size of the page before it (not its own) without its
liquid rule or guides. A page of its own size also drew its thumbnail
at the document's scale, over the panel's footer.
- Pages panel: Alt-drag copies the page to where it's dropped; a page
dropped on Create new page is duplicated at the end of the document;
Edit page size lists the presets (in the page's orientation) and
Custom Page Size…; InDesign's tooltips (Create new page, Delete
selected pages).
- Thumbnails share one scale (the document's page size, smaller when a
taller page would pass 1.8 times the usual height); rows fit their
spread's tallest page.
- engine: layout.pages.duplicateSpread copies the pages' size, margins,
columns, guides and liquid rule, takes `atEnd`, and returns the copy's
first page.

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (11:00–
13:30) drags guides out of the rulers with the Page tool on a
guide-based page: "these guides are a little bit different... they are a
dashed line, a cyan dashed line" - liquid guides, which let the objects
they cross stretch with the page. DesignCraft drew liquid guides dashed
and applied them, but a guide could only become liquid through the
Liquid Layout panel's list: ruler drags always made ruler guides.
- canvas: with the Page tool, a page guide dragged from a ruler is a
liquid guide; its preview is dashed while it's dragged.
- engine: guide.add takes `liquid`.

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (2:47,
7:24) uses the Liquid Layout panel: "Liquid Page Rule:" with "Page: n",
Content › Auto-Fit, and Object Constraints › Resize with Page (Height,
Width) and Pin (Top, Left, Bottom, Right), greyed until an object on an
object-based page is selected. DesignCraft's panel had a "Page 1" label,
the rule, six wrapped checkboxes ("Resize width", "Pin top"…) only once
an object was selected, and a Create Alternate Layout form.
- Liquid Layout panel: InDesign's layout and labels; the page is the one
the Page tool selected (else the page in view); Auto-Fit (graphic
frames) runs object.fittingOptions; the constraints apply on
object-based pages (also through Controlled by Parent) and stay
greyed otherwise. The page's liquid guides stay listed below for now.
- Layout menu: Create Alternate Layout… (as in InDesign).
- Translations for the new labels.
Builds on #864 (rule list, Controlled by Parent) and #862.

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (6:32–
9:58) clicks an object with the Page tool on an object-based page and
gets InDesign's on-canvas liquid controls: a pin outside each edge
("Object is pinned relative to the page edge. Click to release.") and a
padlock on the width and height lines ("The object's width is locked.
Click to let the object change width as the page changes width."). The
pins and resize settings existed (liquid.object, the Liquid Layout
panel) but the canvas showed none of it.
- tools: on an object-based page a Page tool click selects the object
with its page (layout.selectPage takes `ids`); its pins (14 px outside
each edge's middle) and width/height locks (beside the centre) toggle
liquid.object on click, show InDesign's tooltips on hover and a hand
cursor.
- canvas: LiquidPins (orange dashed width/height lines with padlocks,
open when the object follows the page; hollow pins, or a line to the
page edge when pinned) and Tip overlays; tooltip translations.
Builds on the Page tool PR (#862).

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (1:02–
2:06, 13:47) sizes pages from the Control panel with the Page tool
selected: X/Y, W/H, the page-size preset ("US Business Card"),
orientation, Liquid Page Rule ("Controlled by Parent"), Objects Move with
Page and Show Parent Page Overlay. DesignCraft's Control panel showed the
(empty) object controls.
- ui: with the Page tool, the Control panel shows the selected page (or
the page in view): the reference point (W/H, preset and orientation
keep it in place via layout.pageSize's anchor), X/Y (read-only),
W/H, the preset dropdown, portrait/landscape, Liquid Page Rule, Objects
Move with Page (always on: pages don't move within spreads yet) and
Show Parent Page Overlay.
- doc: LiquidRule::ControlledByParent (the parent page's rule, Off
without one; resolved by liquid::effective_rule); Page.show_parent_overlay.
- engine: layout.pageOptions {pages, showParentOverlay}; liquid.pageRule
takes controlledByParent.
- canvas: the parent page's size over a page with the overlay on.
- Liquid Layout panel and Control panel share InDesign's rule list
(Off, Scale, Re-center, Object-based, Guide-based, Controlled by
Parent); "US Business Card" preset; translations.
Builds on the Page tool PR (#862) for the selected page.

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (0:42–
2:06) selects a page with the Page tool, gets its bounding box with
handles, drags a handle (the page springs back: a liquid-rule preview),
holds Option to really resize it, Shift for proportions, and reads the
size in a tooltip by the cursor. DesignCraft's Page tool only opened a
generic Page Size dialog on click.
- tools: the Page tool selects the page under a click (none on the
pasteboard); the selected page shows its outline, eight handles and
its liquid page rule ("Scale", "Object-Based"…) above it. Dragging a
handle previews layout.pageSize (the liquid rule re-flows the
objects) and springs back on release; Alt resizes, Shift keeps the
proportions; a W/H readout follows the pointer; resize cursors on the
handles. Double-click a page for the Page Size dialog.
- doc: Selection.page (the Page tool's page); engine: layout.selectPage
(no undo step).
- layout.pageSize `anchor` (0-8): the page grows away from the
reference point and its objects and guides keep their place relative
to it (a handle drag anchors the opposite edge); liquid rules work
from that.
- canvas: PageHandles and Tag overlays; translations for the tags and
the Resize Page undo label.

Placed PDFs rendered through hayro 0.7 from crates.io, whose
hayro-interpret divides integers in calculator functions without a
check, does not limit how deep functions nest and samples each mesh
triangle over its whole bounding box. A placed PDF whose calculator
function runs `1 0 idiv` or `-2147483648 -1 idiv` panicked the render.
A chain of 100,000 functions, each stitching function naming the next,
overflowed the stack and aborted the process. Mesh shadings with points
far off the page, ten thousand overlapping triangles or forty thousand
patches ran for over a minute or passed 2 GiB of memory.
[patch.crates-io] now takes hayro, hayro-interpret, hayro-syntax and
hayro-jbig2 from pdfcraft's vendor/ directory at b5467d93, with the
patches its vendor/README.md lists. The crate versions do not change.
The patched hayro-syntax sizes a page with a /UserUnit in points, and
pdf_page_box scales the page's boxes by the same unit, so with Crop to
the frame still shows the chosen box. NOTICE names the new source and
the licenses. The function and mesh tests in
crates/render/tests/placed_pdf.rs follow pdfcraft's tests in
crates/render/src/raster.rs.
LYH Studio episode 6 (7:00) fills its photo frames with the caption
"Fit Content to Frame (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + C)", InDesign's shortcut for
Fill Frame Proportionally. DesignCraft's Fitting items were object.fit
variants without shortcuts (a menu shortcut belongs to a command id, and
the five modes share one).
- Five UI commands, one per mode, with InDesign's keys:
fit.fillFrameProportionally Cmd+Alt+Shift+C,
fit.contentProportionally Cmd+Alt+Shift+E, fit.frameToContent
Cmd+Alt+C, fit.contentToFrame Cmd+Alt+E, fit.centerContent
Cmd+Shift+E (Ctrl on Windows and Linux); each runs object.fit.
- Object > Fitting lists them (with their shortcuts), enabled as
object.fit is.

LYH Studio episode 6 builds every gradient from C=0 M=100 Y=0 K=0 to
C=100 M=0 Y=0 K=0. InDesign blends a gradient's process stops as inks:
halfway is C 50 M 50, a light lilac. DesignCraft converted both ends to
RGB and blended there, so the middle came out a darker violet (117, 88,
189 instead of 135, 119, 181), and every Episode 6 gradient looked
different. A midpoint between CMYK stops also became an RGB colour, so
the PDF shading turned RGB with a conversion warning.
- color: `Color::lerp` blends CMYK with CMYK (or grey), and grey with
grey, in ink space; anything with RGB still blends in RGB.
- `Gradient::display_stops`: the expanded stops plus samples through
each span that isn't RGB at both ends, for renderers that interpolate
in RGB; the screen renderer uses it.
- pdf: a midpoint's expanded stop now keeps the stops' space; the
colour-space test expects no conversion for CMYK or grey midpoints.

The renderer painted the paper, then blended page items with it: black
text in Color Dodge over blank paper dodged the white to white and
vanished, and other modes showed the same way. In InDesign (and in PDF,
where the page group starts transparent) the paper is not a backdrop:
over blank paper an object in any blend mode shows as it is, and only
the objects below it are blended with. On spreads that use a blend mode
the items are now drawn in their own group, laid over the paper once;
other spreads render as before.

A gradient feather on a group (Gradient Feather tool over grouped text, as
in LYH Studio's poster tutorial) did nothing on screen: groups never went
through the effects path. In PDF the group's mask was the group's own path
bounds, and a group has no path, so the mask covered a box of zero size and
hid the group.
- Item::feather_bounds: the box the feather spans, the objects' bounds for
a group.
- Render: a feathered group draws its objects in one layer, then fades it
with the same mask as other objects (fx::gradient_feather_mask).
- PDF: the group's mask spans its objects.
