* feat(doc,docx): complex-script run properties and RTL OOXML round-trip Model the formatting Word applies to Persian, Arabic and Hebrew text: cs, font_cs, size_cs, bold_cs, italic_cs and lang_bidi on CharProps, resolved with Word's fallbacks (ResolvedChar::complex). Size, bold and italic pair with their complex-script values so a run's size or bold also covers its Persian characters. Add doc::bidi script helpers, and keep ZWNJ and Arabic marks inside words for word selection. DOCX: read and write w:rFonts/@w:cs, w:szCs, w:bCs, w:iCs, w:cs and w:lang/@w:bidi in schema order; stop using the cs font as the Latin font. Tests round-trip Persian text with ZWNJ, digits and mixed Latin. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(fonts): directional shaping and Persian font fallback Add shape_run to shape a run in a known bidi direction (Arabic joining, mirrored brackets). Prefer Persian-capable fonts (Vazirmatn, Noto Naskh/ Sans Arabic…) for right-to-left fallback, pick bold/italic fallback faces, and map common Persian document fonts (B Nazanin, B Lotus, B Titr, IRANSans…) to open substitutes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(layout): Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm and right-to-left paragraphs Run UAX #9 per paragraph (unicode-bidi), shape each level run in its direction, keep marks and ZWNJ with their letter and a word in one fallback face. After line breaking, apply rules L1/L2 per line and give each cluster a visual box; right-to-left paragraphs are laid out from their start edge and mirrored, so indents, tabs, alignment, list labels, drop caps, floats and borders sit on the right. Caret, hit testing and selection use visual geometry (split selections, caret at bidi boundaries, DocLayout::visual_step for arrow keys). Display items carry glyph-to-text ranges, which the PDF writer now uses. Plain left-to-right lines are unchanged. No hyphenation of RTL words. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(engine,ui): paragraph direction commands and RTL editing Add para.ltr / para.rtl (Word's text direction buttons) that change only the reading order, and make the alignment buttons visual in right-to-left paragraphs (para.align also takes start/end). Arrow keys move visually in bidirectional text, Ctrl+arrows follow reading order, and Bold/Italic/ Size/Font cover complex-script text. Ribbon buttons with code-drawn icons, a mirrored ruler for RTL paragraphs, translations, catalog, parity and roadmap updates. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(contributors): add Saeed Azarehgar to people.toml Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(engine): para.align with an explicit value sets it, without toggling Only the alignment buttons toggle back to the start edge when pressed again. para.align (used by the Paragraph dialog, scripts and agents) now sets the requested alignment, as seen on the page, in each selected paragraph's own direction. Previously pressing OK in the dialog with Center or Right selected reset the paragraph to the start edge. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(ui): Direction option in the Paragraph dialog Add Word's Direction (Right-to-left / Left-to-right) to the Paragraph dialog's General section. The dialog now shows alignment and Left/Right indents as seen on the page, mapping them to the paragraph's logical start/end values on OK, so an unchanged OK no longer flips a right-to-left paragraph. OK logic moved to apply_paragraph, with tests; ja/zh translations. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(layout): allow hanging trailing spaces in the RTL display test A wrapped right-to-left line's trailing spaces hang past its end edge (the left margin), as left-to-right lines hang them past the right. The test failed whenever the loaded fallback fonts made a line end there; it now checks only visible glyphs.

# WordCraft roadmap
|
||
|
||
WordCraft aims for complete feature parity with Microsoft Word, then goes further on speed, openness
|
||
and agent control. This file tracks where we are honestly. Generated numbers come from
|
||
`cargo xtask parity` (`docs/parity.md`).
|
||
|
||
## Where we are (2026-10-09)
|
||
|
||
| Measure | Value |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Commands (every action, scriptable by CLI/MCP/control channel) | **422** |
|
||
| Feature catalog coverage (Word ribbon/menu features with a command) | **378 / 428 (88%)** |
|
||
| **Estimated real feature parity** (depth and fidelity, not just a command) | **~62%** |
|
||
| **Distance to alpha** | **~85% of the way; ≈20–25 h of Claude wall-clock work** |
|
||
| **Distance to 100% parity** | **≈120–150 h of Claude Opus 5.5 wall-clock work** (with parallel agents) |
|
||
| Tests | ~325 tests (unit, round-trip, fuzz/proptest, MCP acceptance) |
|
||
| Layout speed (188-page document) | 61 ms cold, **1.4 ms** relayout after an edit |
|
||
| Code | ~44k lines of Rust in 12 crates and 3 apps |
|
||
|
||
Catalog coverage overstates parity: many commands are first versions. The real-parity estimate
|
||
weighs each area by how much of Word's behaviour it reproduces, and by how often people use it.
|
||
|
||
## Alpha
|
||
|
||
**What we mean by alpha:** someone can write, format and review real documents every day, open
|
||
the .docx files they receive and send back files Word opens cleanly, on every desktop platform
|
||
from a signed download, without losing work.
|
||
|
||
| Alpha requirement | State |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Editing, formatting, styles, lists, tables, headers/footers, references, review | done (first versions, tested) |
|
||
| Pagination fidelity: wrap, row splitting, hyphenation, drop caps, line numbers, borders | done this arc |
|
||
| Comments in margin balloons, track changes | done |
|
||
| Never-crash standard (no panics, hostile-param fuzzing, panic guard) | done |
|
||
| Autosave and crash recovery | done; needs a soak test |
|
||
| **DOCX fidelity against a corpus of real-world files** (open, render, round-trip, fix) | **not started — the main alpha blocker (≈10 h)** |
|
||
| Footnotes that continue onto the next page; column balancing | missing (≈4 h) |
|
||
| Native printing (today printing goes through PDF) | missing (≈4 h) |
|
||
| Signed builds for macOS, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and web | pipeline written; **needs the GitHub remote and release secrets from the owner** |
|
||
| Real app icon / mascot art | placeholder; **needs owner art** |
|
||
|
||
So: alpha is roughly **85% of the way**, with about **20–25 hours** of agent work left, plus two
|
||
owner actions (push to `github.com/storytold/wordcraft` and enable the release secrets, and supply
|
||
the icon art).
|
||
|
||
## Parity by area
|
||
|
||
| Area | Status | Parity |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Typing, selection, clipboard, undo, find/replace | Solid; IME, autocorrect, smart quotes, list autoformat | 85% |
|
||
| Character & paragraph formatting | Nearly all properties; Font/Paragraph dialogs | 85% |
|
||
| Styles (gallery, pane, create/modify, style sets, themes) | Good | 75% |
|
||
| Lists (bullets, numbering, multilevel, restart, set value) | Good | 75% |
|
||
| Tables (insert, merge/split, styles, borders, header rows, sort, formula) | Good; rows split across pages; no drawn tables, no nested-table polish | 72% |
|
||
| Page layout (margins, size, orientation, columns, breaks, sections) | Good; page borders, line numbers, vertical alignment, drop caps, hyphenation; columns don't balance | 72% |
|
||
| Headers/footers, page numbers, fields | Good; first/even/odd, link to previous | 70% |
|
||
| Footnotes/endnotes | Placed and editable; long notes don't continue onto the next page | 60% |
|
||
| References (TOC, citations APA/MLA/Chicago/IEEE, bibliography, index, figures, cross-refs, TOA) | Working first versions; Zotero/Mendeley `ADDIN` fields and custom properties round-trip; Zotero in the app (`ui.zotero.*`, `wordcraft-cli zotero`): citations, bibliography, refresh, unlink, document preferences, in-text ↔ footnote switching, Zotero ribbon tab, Move Past Citation; Read Aloud player (speed, previous/next sentence, skips citations and bibliography) | 60% |
|
||
| Review (spelling, grammar, thesaurus, comments, track changes, compare, protect) | Good; comment balloons in the margin; no track-changes balloons | 75% |
|
||
| Mailings (mail merge, rules, preview, envelopes, labels) | Working | 70% |
|
||
| Pictures & shapes (insert, size, crop, recolour, effects, styles, float position) | Text wraps around floats (rectangular); text boxes render and edit their text; select, drag to move, resize handles, arrow nudge on the canvas; no tight/contour wrap, no rotation handles | 60% |
|
||
| Draw tab (ink), SmartArt, charts, 3D models, equations editor | Equations: full OMML read/write, 2D layout (OpenType MATH) and in-place editing with an Equation tab; long display equations don't break across lines yet. Ink, SmartArt, charts, 3D not started | 20% |
|
||
| File formats: DOCX read/write | Good (Word opens our files); charts/SmartArt/OLE dropped; untested on a real-world corpus | 75% |
|
||
| File formats: PDF, ODT, RTF, HTML, Markdown, LaTeX, TXT | Working | 70% |
|
||
| File formats: Word 97-2003 `.doc`/`.dot` import | Text, formatting, styles, sections, headers/footers, tables, lists, notes, fields, bookmarks, pictures (spec-based reader; metafile images and Word 6/95 rejected) | 60% |
|
||
| View modes (print, web, draft, read, focus, zoom, navigation pane) | Working | 70% |
|
||
| Backstage (new from templates, open, info, export, options) | Working; printing goes through PDF | 55% |
|
||
| Right-to-left and complex scripts (Persian, Arabic, Hebrew) | Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm, Arabic shaping (joining, ZWNJ, lam-alef, mirrored brackets), mixed Persian/Latin/number lines, mirrored paragraphs (indents, tabs, list labels, ruler), visual caret movement and hit testing, complex-script fonts/sizes in DOCX; no kashida justification, RTL sections/tables or right-to-left UI yet | 55% |
|
||
| Agent control (CLI, MCP, control channel, macros) | Beyond Word | 100%+ |
|
||
|
||
## Estimate to 100%
|
||
|
||
**About 120–150 hours of Claude Opus 5.5 wall-clock work** (with parallel agents), in this order:
|
||
|
||
1. **Alpha blockers** (≈20–25 h): DOCX fidelity corpus, footnote continuation, column balancing,
|
||
native printing, autosave soak test, first signed release.
|
||
2. **Objects** (≈12 h): tight/through (contour) wrap, rotation handles on the canvas,
|
||
grouping, z-order polish, track-changes balloons and formatting revisions.
|
||
3. **Draw tab / ink** (≈15 h).
|
||
4. **Charts (own renderer) and SmartArt-style diagrams** (≈20 h).
|
||
5. **Equation editor** — done: OMML read/write, 2D layout, in-place editing with Word's Equation tab (structures, symbols, built-ins, Unicode/LaTeX input, build-up, Math AutoCorrect, `#` numbers, structure commands). Remaining: line breaking of long display equations, ink equations (≈4 h).
|
||
6. **Dialog depth**: every Word dialog with all its options (Font, Paragraph, Tabs, Borders and
|
||
Shading, Page Setup, Styles, Columns, Index/TOC options, Mail Merge wizard, Options panes) (≈20 h).
|
||
7. **Accessibility (screen readers), localisation, and the rest of right-to-left** (≈12 h): right-to-left
|
||
sections and tables (`w:bidi` in `w:sectPr`, `w:bidiVisual`), kashida justification, a Persian UI
|
||
translation and a mirrored interface, RTL in the HTML/ODT/RTF converters, Indic shaping checks.
|
||
8. **Long tail**: kerning/ligature options, drawn tables, nested-table polish, more templates,
|
||
Word's less-used commands still missing from the catalog (≈10 h).
|
||
