Biblib 1.8.0

Added

• (#12) Multiple tags support: The "Literature note tag" setting now supports multiple comma or space-separated tags (e.g., "literature_note, excalidraw"). All specified tags are added to new literature notes, enabling workflows like Excalidraw flip notes.
  • Thanks to @bepolymathe for the feature request
• Testing infrastructure: Jest testing framework with initial test suites for citekey generator and template engine
• Expanded test coverage: Added 127 new tests across 5 test files (190 total tests), covering yaml-utils, citoid service, and template-variable-builder-service
• Integration tests for citation mapping: Added 46 integration tests covering the complete Zotero-to-CSL mapping workflow, including all item types and edge cases
• End-to-end testing: Playwright-based e2e tests that run against a real Obsidian instance
  • Tests command palette integration, modal workflows, and DOI lookup
  • Automated screenshots captured at key points for visual verification
  • Linux support via CDP connection to unpacked AppImage
• New template variable authorsDisplay: Formatted author string for display (e.g., "J. Smith", "J. Smith and B. Jones", "J. Smith et al.")
• (#21) Citation-js fallback for Citoid service: When Citoid (Wikipedia's citation API) lacks coverage for certain items (e.g., some ISBNs no longer available via WorldCat), the plugin now falls back to citation-js using Google APIs
  • Thanks to @platon-ivanov for this contribution
• (#21) Additional identifier support: PubMed IDs, PMC IDs, and Wikidata QIDs are now supported via the citation-js fallback
  • Thanks to @platon-ivanov for this contribution
• Comprehensive JSDoc documentation throughout the codebase

Changed

• Simplified literature note modal UI: Cleaner design using Obsidian's default styling
  • Collapsible auto-fill section uses native <details> element
  • Single date input accepts flexible formats (YYYY, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD)
  • Attachment UI simplified to two buttons: "Import file" and "Link file"
  • Form fields stack vertically for consistent input widths
• Reduced CSS footprint: styles.css reduced from ~1500 to ~750 lines by using Obsidian defaults
• Improved MetadataCache usage patterns
• Enhanced error handling and validation in citoid service

Fixed

• (#18) Filename template: author variables now work - The {{authors}}, {{author}}, {{authors_family}}, and {{authors_given}} template variables now work in filename templates. Previously these variables were not populated when generating literature note filenames.
• Template engine: trailing whitespace preserved in formatter arguments - Formatters like join, prefix, and split now correctly preserve trailing whitespace (e.g., {{authors|join: and }} produces "Smith and Jones" instead of "SmithandJones")
• (#11) Template engine: object property access in array iteration - When iterating over arrays of objects, properties are now directly accessible (e.g., {{#authors}}{{family}}{{/authors}} works correctly)
  • Thanks to @bepolymathe for reporting
• (#16) Documentation fixes: Fixed broken links and aligned documentation with actual plugin UI
  • Fixed 404 errors for Templating, Key Features, and Troubleshooting pages
  • Updated Settings documentation to match the actual tab names and order in the plugin
  • Section names now match the UI: "File Organization", "Templates", "Citation Keys", "Custom Fields", "Modal Configuration", "Zotero Integration", "Bibliography Export"
