Features

• Syllables — paste or type your verses; each line is broken down into syllables in real time (mon/ta/gne), following the classic rule for the silent e (counted only when it is neither at the end of a line nor followed by a word starting with a vowel). The metre (octosyllable, alexandrine, etc.) and the rhyme's gender (a small F/M badge — feminine if the line ends on a silent e, masculine otherwise) are detected automatically. When a word contains an ambiguous hiatus (e.g. nation, poésie, paupière), the main line is labelled synérèse (the default reading, hiatus read as one syllable) and a second line underneath, labelled diérèse, shows the full breakdown with that hiatus split into two syllables — you decide which reading fits your verse. This second line can be toggled on/off with the "Variante diérèse" checkbox if you'd rather keep the view lighter.
  • Rhyme scheme detection — the poem is split into stanzas (blank-line separated); each stanza's end-rhymes are grouped and labelled A/B/C..., and a 4-line stanza matching AABB, ABAB or ABBA is named accordingly, shown just below the syllable counts. By default each stanza restarts its own lettering from A; toggle "Rimes continues entre strophes" to keep the lettering going across the whole poem instead (e.g. a sonnet's two tercets labelled CCD/EED following on from the quatrains' ABBA/ABBA, rather than restarting at AAB/AAB).
  • Rhyme colour-coding — toggle "Couleurs de rimes" to give each line a coloured badge and border matching its rhyme group, making rhyme pairs easy to spot at a glance in the analysis view. (This applies to the rendered analysis, not the raw text box itself — colouring live text inside a plain editable text area isn't something a text <textarea> supports.)
  • Markdown export — the "📋 Exporter en Markdown" button copies a table (verse / syllable count / rhyme gender / rhyme letter / rhyme quality) to your clipboard, ready to paste into any note. Rhyme quality is only filled in for the second (and later) line of each rhyme group, relative to the first line that introduced it. A separate "📄 Copier le brouillon" button copies the raw draft text as-is, without the table formatting.
• Rhymes — type a word and get masculine/feminine rhyme suggestions with their syllable count, drawn from roughly sixty built-in sound families. If you supply a complete phonetic rhyme dictionary (see below), exact matches from it take priority over the built-in approximation. Results can be narrowed down with filters (first letter, syllable count, and rhyme quality — pauvre / suffisante / riche+, with Très riche and Léonine as optional sub-filters that narrow the "riche+" bucket further). Quality is estimated from how many trailing sounds the candidate shares with your word, with a syllable-aware check (attack
  • vowel + coda, using French syllabification rules) distinguishing riche / très riche / léonine once the basic count reaches "riche". Each group shows a colour-coded quality summary (counts per quality) and every word chip carries a matching coloured border and badge, with a tooltip explaining the criterion, for a quick visual read of the list. You can also tick RimesSolides to pull in additional live results from rimessolides.com — and every filter above (letter, syllable count, quality) applies to those results too, on top of the site's own pagination, so you can narrow down a 4000+-word RimesSolides list the same way you'd narrow the local dictionary, something the site's own interface doesn't offer. A global "Mode assonance" toggle (off by default — strict rhymes only) additionally surfaces words that share the same vowel but differ in what follows it (e.g. ombre/montre — same nasal vowel, but "b" vs "t" right before the final "r"), shown in a clearly separate, dashed-border section so they're never mixed in with true rhymes. This mode also loosens the rhyme-scheme detection and colour-coding in the Syllables tab, since both features share the same underlying check.
• Inspiration — type a common word (forest, sea, night, love, medieval...) and get rarer, more literary or archaic vocabulary on the same theme (e.g. forest → canopy-related words such as canopée, sylve, futaie, orée), each with a short gloss. About thirty themes are built in, including one dedicated to old/archaic French vocabulary. You can optionally tick Wiktionnaire and/or CRISCO to pull in related words fetched live as extra inspiration candidates. Click any word (from a recognised theme or an online source) to select it — the selection persists across successive searches, so you can build one field from several related queries (e.g. sea + colour). Once at least one word is selected, an action bar lets you add the whole selection in one go, either to a lexical field (existing — autocompleted — or a brand-new one, created on the fly with its own trigger keywords) or directly as rare word(s) into dictionnaire-perso.json. Definitions already known for a selected word (from a recognised theme) are carried over automatically; words coming from an online source have no definition and can be completed afterwards from the Notes tab.
• Synonyms — type a word to see synonyms and antonyms. A small built-in dictionary answers instantly offline, extended by any Format C entries in your personal dictionary; you can additionally enable live lookups from Wiktionnaire and/or CRISCO (Université de Caen's synonym dictionary), toggled independently with checkboxes, with a one-click button to save any online result into your personal dictionary for future offline use — click any chip first to exclude it from that save if a source returned a bad match. Every synonym/antonym that genuinely rhymes with your search word gets a rhyme-quality badge, and an optional "Rime avec…" field narrows the list down to only the ones that also rhyme with a second word of your choice — handy when a rhyme is already fixed by another line. See Online sources below.
• Definitions — look up a rare word before using it: fetches a definition excerpt and etymology from CNRTL (the Trésor de la Langue Française informatisé), shown in its own boxed section with a link to the full entry. On-demand only — nothing is looked up automatically.
• Hasard — one button, one rare or forgotten French word at random (smaragdin, coruscant, pétrichor, s'ennuiter...), with a short gloss and quick links to look it up in the Definitions or Rhymes tab. A live counter above the button shows how many words match the current filters before you draw. Every word can carry free-form tags (désuet, savant, poétique...), each with its own stable colour (reused everywhere the tag appears), addable/removable on the fly from the drawn word — via dynamic preset buttons (your most-used tags first) or a free-text field with autocomplete (or click straight through several pills in the "voir tous les tags" panel, no need to re-type one at a time).
  • Filtrer par tags (collapsible, purple) — checking several tags is OR by default (any word carrying at least one of them): fine on its own, but if one tag has a much bigger volume than the others (e.g. after a bulk import), combining it with a smaller one in OR mostly just gives you the big one back. Tick "Tous les tags cochés (ET)" to require every checked tag at once instead — that's how you get a real intersection (e.g. "méral" + "poésie" together, not either). A further "+ au moins un tag en plus de ceux cochés" toggle asks for one checked tag (or an ET combination) plus any other tag on top — handy for "this tag, but already categorised further", without hardcoding which tag or which other one.
  • Exclure des tags (collapsible, gold) — the mirror, NOT/NOR logic: subtracts any word carrying at least one of the checked tags, regardless of the include filters above. A compact "🚫 Masquer les mots connus" shortcut lives here (toggles the reserved "connu" tag into this same exclusion set).
  • Always-visible shortcuts: "🚫 Explorer les exclus" (review mode: draws only from words you've excluded — combines properly with the tag filters above now, e.g. review just the excluded words also tagged "méral"), "☆ Explorer « like »" (fixed to your "like" tag, not "whichever tag is most common" — a bulk import can otherwise dwarf your own tags in frequency), "📭 Masquer les mots déjà tagués" (0 tags) and its mirror "🏷️ Explorer les multi-tagués" (2+ tags at once).
  • A "💾 Graver dans dictionnaire-perso.json" button (now placed after the tagging controls, not before — tag first, commit second) writes the currently-drawn word's tags permanently into your personal dictionary and clears its temporary session record (a bulk "Graver en masse" version lives in Settings). Merging (via that button, or the "🧹 Nettoyer et fusionner" Settings action) never silently drops one note in favour of another anymore: if the two differ and neither contains the other, both are kept, joined by a visible "· · ·" separator.
  • A collapsible stats panel at the bottom shows total word count, excluded/untagged counts, "% already seen", a per-tag breakdown, and every tag combination actually observed in your dictionary (not all theoretically possible combinations, just the ones that exist) — handy for deciding when it's time to import a fresh batch of words, or spotting an over-used tag. Tags can also be declared directly in dictionnaire-perso.json (see below) — useful for pre-tagging a bulk import — and merge with tags added from the UI. The draw itself avoids repeating recently-shown words (a rolling window that adapts to the size of the current filtered pool, so a narrow filter never gets stuck empty). A small form lets you add a rare word manually (word, optional gloss, optional tags) straight into your personal dictionary without going through an external source.
• Notes — a maintenance tab: lists every rare word and every lexical-field word that's missing a definition (typically after a bulk import, or a word added from an online source with no gloss available), each with an inline text field to write one by hand — saved directly to dictionnaire-perso.json on save, disappearing from the list once done.
• Guide — a quick reference: how French syllable counting works, metre names, caesura, enjambment, stanza names, a handful of classic poem forms (sonnet, rondeau, ballade, villanelle, pantoum, triolet, virelai, tanka, calligramme, ode, haiku, fable, acrostic, free verse...), and the basics of rhyme (rhyme schemes, rhyme quality, masculine/feminine alternation, eye-rhymes vs. ear-rhymes).
• Persistent draft — your syllable-counter text is saved automatically between sessions.
• Commands (Command palette, Ctrl/Cmd+P):
  • Open the Carnet du Poete
  • Count the syllables in the selection (or the current line) — shows the result, including rhyme gender and diaeresis alternative, in a notification.
  • Search for rhymes for the selected word
  • Search for inspiration (vocabulary) for the selected word
  • Reload the personal dictionary (dictionnaire-perso.json)

Manual installation

1. Locate your vault's plugin folder: <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/ (create the plugins folder if it doesn't exist yet).
2. Copy the entire plugin folder into it, then make sure it is named carnet-du-poete (it must contain manifest.json, main.js and styles.css).
3. In Obsidian: Settings → Community plugins. Turn off Restricted Mode if needed, then enable Carnet du Poete in the list.
4. A quill 🪶 icon appears in the left ribbon — click it to open the notebook.

No build step is required: the plugin is plain JavaScript, ready to run.

If you install via BRAT, note that BRAT only downloads main.js, manifest.json and styles.css from the repository — it never copies a custom data file such as dictionnaire-perso.json. See the next section for where to put it instead.

Extending your dictionaries with dictionnaire-perso.json

Everything below is optional. Out of the box, the plugin already ships with a curated rhyme dictionary, ~30 vocabulary themes, and a small synonym list. dictionnaire-perso.json lets you add to (or, for rhymes, largely replace) any of these — all from a single file.

Where the plugin looks for it

The plugin searches, in order, and stops at the first match:

1. The plugin's own folder (.obsidian/plugins/carnet-du-poete/).
2. The root of .obsidian.
3. The root of the vault itself.
4. Anywhere else in the vault's normal content (any note folder) — the simplest option on mobile or with BRAT: just drop the file into your vault like any other file.
5. Any subfolder of .obsidian, searched recursively (up to 5 levels deep), in case it ended up somewhere unexpected.

You can reload it at any time without restarting Obsidian via the command "Reload the personal dictionary (dictionnaire-perso.json)" — a notification will confirm what was found, or tell you it searched everywhere and found nothing.

Supported formats

All of the following top-level keys are optional and can be combined freely in the same file.

A) Custom rhyme families (added to the built-in ones):

{
  "familles": [
    {
      "son": "-onk [custom]",
      "exemple": "conque, jonque",
      "terms": ["onque", "onk"],
      "mots": ["conque", "jonque", "adonque"]
    }
  ]
}

terms are the spelling endings that trigger this family (longer, more specific endings win ties). mots is the list of words offered as rhymes.

B) A complete phonetic rhyme dictionary (exact matches from it take priority over the built-in approximation):

{
  "ka": ["avocat", "cas", "syndicat", "..."],
  "sa": ["cassa", "dansa", "pensa", "..."]
}

A flat object where each key is a phonetic rhyme identifier (its exact form doesn't matter, it is never shown) and the value is the list of words that truly rhyme, grouped by actual French pronunciation rather than spelling. This is the export format used by projects such as Remède; if you ever generate one (for instance from a phonetic lexicon such as Lexique383), drop it in as-is. Very large groups (some verb-conjugation endings exceed a thousand words) are shown 100 at a time with a button to reveal the rest.

C) Custom vocabulary themes for the Inspiration tab (added to the built-in ones):

{
  "champsLexicaux": [
    {
      "theme": "My custom theme",
      "motsClefs": ["trigger1", "trigger2"],
      "mots": [
        { "mot": "rareword", "note": "short gloss or nuance" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

motsClefs are the everyday words that trigger this theme in the Inspiration tab (matching ignores accents and simple plurals). A theme is matched against an existing one (built-in or already loaded) by its name, case/accent-insensitively — if it matches, the two are merged (keywords unioned, words added, empty notes filled in) rather than kept as a separate, invisible duplicate. If your dictionnaire-perso.json predates this behaviour, run Settings → Carnet du Poète → "Nettoyer et fusionner dictionnaire-perso.json" once to merge any existing duplicates and repair auto-generated keyword lists from before the fix (a multi-word theme used to collapse into one unsearchable glued string, e.g. "Night & darkness" → nightdarkness instead of ["night", "darkness"]).

D) Custom synonyms/antonyms (added to the built-in ones — this is also exactly what the "💾 Save to my personal dictionary" button in the Synonyms tab writes for you automatically):

{
  "synonymes": [
    { "mot": "brume", "synonymes": ["brouillard", "vapeur"], "antonymes": ["clarté"] }
  ]
}

E) Custom words for the Hasard tab (added to the built-in pool of rare/forgotten words), with optional tags for filtering the random draw (also addable/removable later from the UI):

{
  "motsRares": [
    { "mot": "estival", "note": "qui appartient à l'été", "tags": ["saison"] }
  ]
}

This is also the format for bulk-importing a large word list (thousands of entries at once are fine performance-wise). Tags added from the UI during a session live temporarily in Obsidian's plugin data, not in this file — use the "💾 Graver" button (per word, Hasard tab) or "Graver en masse" (Settings, all at once) to commit them here permanently.

F) Extended phonetic dictionary (a richer variant of format B, informally called "Format C" in the changelog — can coexist with format B keys in the same file): instead of a flat list of words, each key maps to an object of word → details, giving the word's full phonetic transcription and its own synonyms/antonyms:

{
  "sE": {
    "abaissai": {
      "phonetique": "abEsE",
      "synonymes": [{ "mot": "baisser", "phonetique": "bese" }],
      "antonymes": []
    }
  }
}

The phonetic alphabet is SAMPA-like, one character per phoneme (vowels: a i y u o e E O 2 9 ° @ § 5 1 — E=[ɛ], O=[ɔ], 2=[ø], 9=[œ], °=[ə], @ § 5 1=the four nasal vowels [ɑ̃ ɔ̃ ɛ̃ œ̃]; consonants use their usual letter, R=[ʁ], S=[ʃ], Z=[ʒ], N=[ɲ], and j/w/8 for the semi-vowels [j]/[w]/[ɥ] — this matches the phonetic column exported by Lexique383-based tools). synonymes/antonymes entries can be plain strings or, better, {"mot": "...", "phonetique": "..."} objects — when the phonetic field is filled in (because that synonym is itself a key elsewhere in the same dictionary), rhyme quality between it and any other word becomes exact rather than approximated. Whenever both words being compared (for rhyme quality, or in the Synonyms tab's "Rime avec…" field) have a known phonetic transcription, the plugin uses it instead of the orthographic heuristic — see Known limitations.

Online sources

Several tabs can query external sites live, directly from your device (the plugin uses Obsidian's requestUrl API, which works the same way on desktop and mobile, without running into browser CORS restrictions). Four sources are built in:

• Wiktionnaire (fr.wiktionary.org) — the French Wiktionary's own API, parsed for its "Synonymes"/"Antonymes" sections. Used in the Synonyms and Inspiration tabs.
• CRISCO (crisco4.unicaen.fr) — Université de Caen's Dictionnaire Électronique des Synonymes, an academic resource with tens of thousands of curated entries. Used in the Synonyms and Inspiration tabs.
• RimesSolides (rimessolides.com) — a French rhyming dictionary with IPA transcriptions. Used in the Rhymes tab.
• CNRTL (cnrtl.fr) — the Trésor de la Langue Française informatisé, used in the Definitions tab. Unlike the other three, this one has no opt-in checkbox: it is only ever queried when you explicitly search in the Definitions tab.

The Wiktionnaire/CRISCO/RimesSolides checkboxes are opt-in (your choice is remembered per tab). Nothing is queried unless you tick a box and press Search — nothing is sent anywhere by default. In the Synonyms and Inspiration tabs, when a source returns results, a "💾 Save to my personal dictionary" button lets you write them into dictionnaire-perso.json in one click (creating the file at the root of your vault if none exists yet), so the word becomes available offline from then on.

Adding another source to the Synonyms/Inspiration tabs is a small, self-contained change: it needs a function that takes a word and returns { synonymes: [...], antonymes: [...], trouve: true|false }, registered in the SOURCES_EN_LIGNE table near the top of main.js. Open an issue or ask if you'd like a specific source added.

Fair use note: these are third-party sites without a public API contract; the plugin fetches their normal pages and extracts the relevant section. If a site changes its layout, that source may temporarily return no results — the other source(s) and the local dictionaries are unaffected. CNRTL has announced a full portal redesign for 1 September 2026 (details); if the URL structure changes after that date, the Definitions tab may need an update.

Known limitations

• Syllable counting is a spelling-based heuristic (like most free online tools), not a full phonetic transcription: very irregular cases (complex liaisons, rare words, Latinate or Greek-derived words) may need manual judgement. One specific ambiguity — whether a word ending in "-ent" is a silent 3rd-person-plural verb form (pleurent) or a genuinely pronounced noun/adjective (récent, argent, président...) — is resolved exactly against the extended phonetic dictionary when the word is covered by one, and falls back to a curated list of ~70 common exceptions otherwise (not exhaustive).
• Whether a silent e elides before a word starting with a vowel follows the classic versification rule, but some other online tools don't apply this consistently — expect occasional differences with them, especially on free verse. The full syllable breakdown is shown precisely so you can check the choice yourself, line by line.
• Diaeresis/synaeresis detection relies on a list of "fixed" diphthongs (always 1 syllable); any vowel hiatus outside that list is flagged as a possible diaeresis, and the alternate breakdown is shown — the choice of reading is yours.
• The built-in rhyme, vocabulary and synonym dictionaries are hand-curated, not exhaustive; a rare word may not be recognised. The optional complete phonetic rhyme dictionary (format B above) largely closes that gap for rhymes specifically.
• Rhyme quality (pauvre / suffisante / riche / très riche / léonine) is exact when both compared words have a known transcription in an extended phonetic dictionary (format F above) — real phonemes, no guessing. Otherwise it falls back to a spelling-based heuristic that handles common mismatches (-tion≈-ssion, doubled letters, i/y semi-consonant, ê/è/ei/circumflex, intervocalic "s"→[z], au/eau≈o, œu/oeu≈eu, um≈un, im≈in, infinitive -er/-ez≈é...) but isn't infallible, especially on rare or irregular words — and can occasionally be more generous than the real phonemes would be (a silent final e has, on rare occasions, been miscounted as an extra shared son). The très riche/léonine distinction (both engines) relies on an approximate syllabification (valid onset clusters, e.g. "pl", "tr"); very unusual consonant clusters may still be split incorrectly.
• The online sources depend on third-party websites staying reachable and structurally unchanged; treat them as a bonus on top of, not a replacement for, the offline dictionaries.
• Rhyme-pair colour-coding applies to the rendered analysis below the text box, not to the raw text box itself, which a plain HTML <textarea> cannot style character-by-character.

Changelog

• 2.22.0 — Fixed a real gap in the rhyme engine: a bare "y" that IS the vowel itself (not a semi-consonant before another vowel, already handled separately) is pronounced exactly like "i" — "zéphyr"/"frémir", "rugby"/"pari", "martyr"/"sortir" — but "yr" and "ir" were staying two different keys for the same [iʁ] sound, so words spelled with a final "y" never matched their "i"-spelled rhyme partners. Found via a real poem (thank you, Alucard) using "zéphyr" as a rhyme for "frémir"/"souffrir" — confirmed correct by ear, wrong in the tool. Also worth noting for anyone who ran into this already: this fix had actually been written and tested earlier in the process of tracking the report down, but was left sitting in a working copy and never actually packaged into a release — this version is the first one that genuinely includes it, sorry for the runaround while we nailed down what was and wasn't shipped.

• 2.21.0 — Two ergonomic changes to the Rimes tab, both purely cosmetic, no behaviour change:

  • The rhyme-quality pill colours (Pauvre/Suffisante/Riche/Très riche/Léonine) are noticeably softer now — same hue family, less saturated, slightly lighter — instead of the fairly strong original palette. Applies everywhere that palette is used: the pills themselves, the small coloured left border on word chips in Rimes/Synonymes results, and the quality-summary dots. Checked-pill text switched from white to a dark grey to keep it readable against the lighter fills (white text on the lightened colours was dropping well below a readable contrast ratio on some of them, most noticeably "Léonine").

• 2.20.0 — A dedicated audit poem (built from real entries in Alucard's own dictionnaire-perso.json) surfaced one more small gap: "ch" pronounced [k] instead of the usual [ʃ] in a handful of Greek-origin/technical words — "pétrichor", "chœur", "chrome", "chronique", "choral", "écho", "orchestre", "psychologie", "archéologie", "chaos", "chlore", "chrétien", "technique", "technologie", "orchidée"... Fixed in both allitérations (for words actually starting with "ch") and Trame phonique (for "ch" anywhere in the word, which is how this was first noticed — "pétrichor" was landing in the same [ʃ] bucket as "chien"/"chaleur" instead of its own [k] one). Small root-based exception list, not exhaustive, same pattern as the other exceptions already in this section (CaReFuL, "-er" infinitives, "ill"...).

• 2.19.0 — A systematic audit pass over the Sonorités panel and the underlying rhyme engine, triggered by real test cases from Alucard. Several genuine accuracy bugs found and fixed, each confirmed by direct testing:

  • Trame phonique: doubled consonants ("addition", "attention", "couronne") were counted twice instead of once; a lone "s" between two vowels ("poison", "maison") wasn't recognised as [z]; "t" followed by "-tion" (not preceded by s/x) wasn't softened to [s] ("nation", "national" — "question"/"gestion" correctly stay [t]); "ill" after a vowel is now recognised as the yod glide [j] by default ("fille", "brillant"), with a proper exception list for words where it stays a real double L ("ville", "tranquille", "mille"/million-milliard, "distiller", "osciller", words ending in "-illaire", words starting with the "ill-" prefix, and a few proper nouns/medical terms) — also fixed the "Trame phonique" section not using the same stable per-theme colours as Allitérations, an inconsistency from 2.17.0.
  • Allitérations: a word covered by the phonetic dictionary could return a consonant found anywhere in its transcription as if it were word-initial (fixed in 2.18.0 for "écrit"-like cases); yod [j] is now recognised as a valid initial sound too ("ion", "yeux", "hier"), dictionary and spelling-based alike.
  • The rhyme engine itself (used everywhere — rhyme scheme, Rimes tab, quality badges): classifieRime now checks the phonetic dictionary first when both words are covered by it, falling back to the spelling approximation only when at least one isn't — previously the approximation could return a match without the dictionary ever being consulted, even when available and correct. Separately, "eille"/"ille" (yod) endings no longer collapse onto plain "elle" endings ("abeille" was being treated as a perfect rhyme with "nouvelle") — a dedicated key is computed for the yod case, using a marker character that mode assonance's core-vowel comparison correctly skips (an early version of this fix accidentally broke "fille"/"ville" assonance matching by using a marker that looked like a vowel itself). Also fixed: a word's final mute e was being left dangling in the rhyme key when anchoring on the vowel before it, making e.g. "vole" and "bol" — the exact same sound, [ɔl], differing only in grammatical gender — compare as merely "assonance" instead of a full "rime" unless the phonetic dictionary happened to override it.
  • Two remaining known gaps, found along the way but not fixed: verb infinitives in "-iller"/"-eiller" (e.g. "travailler") still lose the yod distinction, since an earlier rule converts their ending before the yod check can run; and words where the anchor vowel and a trailing mute e merge into one written group ("vue" vs "vu") aren't yet reconciled the same way "vole"/"bol" now are.

• 2.18.0 — Continued work on the Sonorités panel from 2.17.0:

  • New: a 4th figure, "Trame phonique" (réseau consonantique) — a consonant sound that recurs anywhere in a word (attack, middle, coda), not just word-initial like allitération. Click a sound in its list to spotlight only its occurrences in the draft (everything else dims), rather than adding a permanent 3rd highlight colour to the text.
  • New: a frequency ratio ("×N.N") next to every sound in the three lists (allitérations, assonances, trame phonique), comparing how often it occurs in this poem against its normal frequency in French — sourced from Lexique 3 (New, 2006) via C. dos Santos' thesis (Lyon 2, 2007), which breaks consonant frequency down by position in the syllable. Allitération uses the word-initial-position figures specifically, trame phonique the all-positions figures — the two can differ a lot (e.g. /ʁ/ is 3.7% word-initial but 30.4% after a vowel), so using one shared number for both would have been misleading.
  • Fixed several real accuracy issues surfaced while building the above, all confirmed by direct testing: an off-by-N position bug meant highlighted letters could land on the wrong character for any elided word (l'/d'/qu'...); "c"/"g" followed by an accented e/i/y (é, è, ê, ë, î, ï) wasn't softened to [s]/[ʒ] — the regex only matched plain unaccented letters, so "Cérynie" was coloured as if it started with [k]; silent final consonants (the "t" in "forêt", "offrant", "chantant"...) were counted as if pronounced — now skipped by default except c/r/f/l ("CaReFuL"), with -er infinitives (r silent) as a further exception to that; "n"/"m" absorbed into a preceding nasal vowel (démente, argentin — neither has an audible [n]) were being counted as their own consonant sound; a word found in the phonetic dictionary could return a consonant found anywhere in its transcription as if it were the word-initial sound, even for vowel-initial words like "écrit" or "offrant".

Version history

• 2.17.0 — New "Sonorités" panel in the Syllabes tab (flip the card with the button next to Export/Copy/Clear — now a cyan pill on the left): detects allitérations (repeated initial consonant sound), internal assonances (repeated vowel, not just end-of-line rhyme), and homéotéleutes (echoing word endings elsewhere in the poem, not just the rhyme scheme — only surfaced when at least one occurrence is mid-line, otherwise it would just restate the existing rhyme scheme). Results show as a list (word/line references) and as coloured highlighting directly in the draft, with a legend. Three grouping levels — exact sounds, simplified families (manner of articulation / vowel timbre), or extended families (adds voiced/voiceless distinctions) — with colours kept stable per theme across all three levels rather than reassigned by order of appearance. Also: "Exclure mots outils", a seuil (minimum occurrences, default 3), and "Surligner seulement les 3 plus fréquents" to keep the draft readable on sonorité-heavy poems. Several real coverage bugs fixed along the way: "oi"/"ui" and mid-word "eau"/"au" weren't recognised as vowel sounds at all; nasal vowels ("chantant", "jasmin"...) weren't being detected as nasal; the dictionary's phonetic alphabet (R/S/Z/J) didn't match the fallback heuristic's symbols (r/ʃ/ʒ/ɲ), so dictionary-covered words formed their own stray one-word "family" instead of joining the right group; a word's own final mute e was counted as an assonance with itself. The Guide tab got a matching new section, plus a reorganisation (rhymes and poem forms were each split across unrelated sections) and a collapsible table of contents. Also, in the Synonymes tab: each synonym/antonym chip now shows its syllable count, and a new "syllable count" dropdown filters results down to a given count — same style as the existing syllable filter in the Rimes tab.
• 2.16.0 — Rimes tab ergonomics pass and a real filtering bug fix:
  • Fixed: the rhyme-quality filters (Pauvre/Suffisante/Riche+/Très riche/Léonine) had a silent edge case — unchecking every one of the 3 main checkboxes was treated internally as "no filter" instead of "show nothing", and the Très riche/Léonine sub-filters could only narrow within Riche+, never exclude the plain "riche" category on their own. Checking just "Léonine", for instance, still silently showed "Suffisante" results too. The 5 qualities are now independent, always-applied checkboxes (Riche is no longer a parent that can only be narrowed, it's just one of the five) — unchecking all of them now correctly shows nothing. "Riche+" is kept as a one-click action button that checks/unchecks Riche + Très riche + Léonine together, but it's no longer a piece of state itself, so it can't drift out of sync with the checkboxes it acts on.
  • The filter checkboxes, the "Toutes syllabes" dropdown, and "Mode assonance" are now pill-style buttons matching the Hasard/Syllabes tabs, coloured to match each quality's badge colour in the results below; "Mode assonance" moved onto the same row as "Compléter en ligne", and the syllable-count dropdown got a small ▾ to signal it opens a menu.
  • "Pauvre" is now unchecked by default (Suffisante/Riche/Très riche/Léonine still on).

Full changelog archive, oldest first below — the 5 most recent versions are in the Changelog section above.

• 2.15.0 — New "Rimes continues entre strophes" toggle in the Syllabes tab: by default each stanza's rhyme lettering (A, B, C...) restarts at A, which meant a sonnet's tercets always came out as AAB/AAB instead of the conventional CCD/EED continuing on from the quatrains' ABBA/ABBA. Toggling it on shares the lettering across the whole poem instead — now on by default, alongside "Couleurs de rimes" (previously off by default). Also reworked the Syllabes toolbar: the display toggles are now pill-style buttons (matching the Hasard tab's look), and Export/Copy/Clear moved to a compact icon row above the draft box.
• 2.14.0 — Two fixes to the syllable counter specifically (Syllabes tab / analyseLigne — a separate engine from the rhyme one, they'd never shared any logic before this):
  • Fixed: a verse ending on a 3rd-person-plural verb ("...qu'elles pleurent") was counted one syllable too many. The mute-e detection only recognised a literal final "e" (rose, chante) — never the "-ent" of "ils/elles pleurent, chantent...", which is the exact same silent sound, just spelled differently. Classical versification confirms this ending never counts at the end of a line, same as any other mute e (checked against several current French versification references while fixing this).
  • Since "-ent" is genuinely ambiguous from spelling alone (silent 3rd-plural verb ending in pleurent, but a real pronounced [ɑ̃] in nouns/adjectives like récent, argent, moment, président...), the fix now checks the extended phonetic dictionary first when available — exact, no guessing (a transcription ending in a consonant means the "-ent" added no sound at all; ending in the nasal vowel means it's genuinely pronounced) — and falls back to a curated list of ~70 common non-verb exceptions only for words outside the dictionary, so the fix still helps even without one configured.
• 2.13.0 — Large rework of the Hasard tab's tag filtering, prompted by importing a big batch of words (the classic "one tag now dwarfs every other in volume" problem) and by a visual redesign pass on the whole filter area:
  • Filtering semantics, please read if combining tags: checking several tags is OR by default (matches any of them) — with an uneven tag distribution, OR-combining a huge tag with a small one mostly just gives the huge one back. A new "Tous les tags cochés (ET)" toggle switches to requiring every checked tag at once for a real intersection. A further "+ au moins un tag en plus de ceux cochés" toggle asks for the checked tag(s) plus any other tag on top, generic rather than hardcoded to one specific tag.
  • Fixed: the live pool counter used the new ET/"+1 tag" options, but the actual draw button forgot to pass them along and used the old OR-only logic — the counter said one number, the draw came from a bigger pool. Both now share the exact same filtering call.
  • The exclusion review mode ("🚫 Explorer les exclus") is no longer a pseudo-tag mutually exclusive with everything else — it's its own toggle now, and combines properly with tag filters (e.g. review just the excluded words also tagged "méral").
  • New "🏷️ Explorer les multi-tagués" shortcut (2+ tags at once), the mirror of the existing "📭 Masquer les mots déjà tagués" (0 tags) — both now based on a shared helper that excludes the reserved "exclu" tag from the count, so review mode doesn't skew it.
  • The "☆ Explorer" bandeau shortcut is now fixed to your "like" tag specifically, instead of "whichever tag is used most" — a bulk import's tag can otherwise dwarf your own in raw count without being more useful as a shortcut.
  • Stats panel gained a per-tag breakdown and every tag combination actually observed in your dictionary (not all theoretically possible ones, just the real ones).
  • Fixed: merging two notes for the same word (via "🧹 Nettoyer et fusionner" in Settings, or a re-import) used to silently keep whichever note was seen first, discarding the other even if it was richer. Now: if one note fully contains the other, the more complete one wins; if they genuinely differ, both are kept, joined by a compact "· · ·" separator at render time (works retroactively on already-merged notes too, no data migration needed).
  • Fixed: notes imported from OCR'd/scanned sources often have arbitrary mid-sentence line breaks (fixed-width original page layout) — now flattened to normal flowing text instead of rendering as ragged short lines.
  • Visual pass on the whole filter area: harmonised pill shapes for the top shortcuts, two colour-coded collapsible sections (violet = include, gold = exclude — freeing up red to mean only "the drawn word" and "Graver"), badges showing active-filter counts even while collapsed, mutually-exclusive "voir tous les tags" panels (opening one closes the other), and the draw button/word card restructured into a single visual block (button now above the result, definition text justified instead of centered, "Graver" moved after the tagging controls since you tag first and commit second).
• 2.12.0 — Several more spelling/sound equivalences added to the orthographic heuristic used by rhyme detection and quality (pauvre/suffisante/riche/très riche/léonine) — see the important scope note below before reading the list.
  • au/eau ≈ o when genuinely closed [o] — word-final, before a mute e, or before an intervocalic "s" that becomes [z] (chaud/pot, chapeau/pot, pause/pose/morose). Deliberately not applied before any other consonant, since a plain "o" there can be either closed (rose) or open (note) unpredictably from spelling alone — merging them would have wrongly rhymed faute [fot] with note [nɔt].
  • œu/oeu ≈ eu (vœu/peu, cœur/fleur) — no restriction needed here, unlike au/eau: both spellings follow the exact same open/closed rule based on syllable position, so merging them never crosses a timbre boundary.
  • um ≈ un and im/aim/eim/ym ≈ in (the two remaining nasal vowels) — parfum/ brun, faim/main.
  • Infinitive -er (silent r) and -ez (silent z) now both resolve to the same key as -é (chanter/aimé, chantez/aimé, nez/été), with a short exception list for the genuine cases where the final consonant is pronounced (mer, fer, cher, hier, ver, fier, cuiller, hiver, enfer, cancer, amer, éther, revolver, the invariable "-ers" nouns like divers/travers/envers/revers, a few common English loanwords, and for -ez specifically fez and Hispanic surnames/place names like Pérez, Sánchez, Gómez, Suez). Neither list claims to be exhaustive.
  • Important scope note: all of the above — today's additions and everything already in normaliseSonsFinal (ê/è/ei, circumflex, i/y semi-consonant, intervocalic s→z, doubled letters, -tion≈-ssion...) — only ever runs as the orthographic fallback, used when at least one of the two compared words has no known transcription in an extended phonetic dictionary (format F). When both words are covered by one, classeRime uses the real phonemes directly and none of this applies. This can occasionally make the phonetic result more conservative than the heuristic one, not just more permissive: e.g. the heuristic counted pose/morose as "riche" (its trailing mute e was miscounted as a third shared son), whereas the real transcription (poz/mORoz, 2 shared phonemes: o+z, differing onset) correctly gives "suffisante" — a case where the phonetic engine caught the heuristic being too generous, not too strict.
  • Also fixed two bugs found while testing the above: the -er/-ez check ran after the silent d/t/x removal, so a word like concert lost its "t" first and then looked like a (wrongly convertible) "-er" word — reordered so -er/-ez is checked on the original ending first. And the Hispanic-surname exceptions were missing their accented forms (Pérez vs perez) in the very first pass.
• 2.11.0 — Follow-ups to the phonetic engine (2.10.0), mostly bug fixes surfaced by actually using it on real dictionaries/searches:
  • Fixed: the Wiktionnaire scraper searched the whole page for a "synonyms" section without first isolating the French-language block — a word that also exists in another language (e.g. rage, which is also Dutch) could return that other language's synonyms instead of French ones. Now scoped to == {{langue|fr}} == first.
  • Fixed: the new rhyme-quality badge in the Synonyms tab was showing on every single synonym/antonym, even ones that don't rhyme at all with the searched word — classeRime always returns a level (even "pauvre") for any pair, it was never meant to be called without first checking there's a genuine rhyme. The badge now only appears when memeRime confirms one.
  • New: click any synonym/antonym chip (in the online-source results) to exclude it before saving — useful for the case above, or any bad match from an online source — click again to un-exclude; the "💾 Save" button only writes what's left.
  • New: clearer, differentiated error messages for the three online sources (429 = rate limited, 403 = blocked, 5xx = the site's own problem, vs. a generic network/timeout message) instead of a single generic "see the console".
  • New: debug-only toggle in Settings ("ignore the personal dictionary") to instantly compare rhyme results with/without it loaded, without touching the vault file — and it now actually forces every open tab (Syllables, Rhymes, Synonyms) to recompute immediately, instead of only taking effect on the next fresh search or after clearing/repasting the draft.
  • Fixed: the "Mode assonance" checkbox in the Rhymes tab could go visually stale if you changed the same global setting from Settings while that tab was already open — it now resyncs every time you switch back to the Rhymes tab.
• 2.10.0 — New "Format C" for dictionnaire-perso.json: an object nested one level deeper than Format B (group → word → {phonetique, synonymes, antonymes}), giving each word its full phonetic transcription (SAMPA-like, one character per phoneme) plus its own synonyms/antonyms, each already phonetically resolved when they're part of the same dictionary. Both formats can coexist in the same file. When a word has a known phonetic transcription, rhyme quality (pauvre/suffisante/riche/très riche/léonine) is now computed on the real phonemes instead of the orthographic approximation — a genuinely reliable result for anything covered by the phonetic dictionary, with the existing heuristic still used as a fallback for everything else. The Synonyms tab now also merges in synonyms/antonyms coming from this new format, shows a rhyme-quality badge on every synonym/antonym chip (relative to the word you searched), and gained an optional "Rime avec…" field to narrow the list down to only the synonyms/antonyms that also rhyme with a second word of your choice — handy when a rhyme is already fixed by another line and you need a synonym that still fits it.
• 2.9.0 — Rhyme quality is now a 5-level scale (pauvre / suffisante / riche / très riche / léonine) instead of 3, with Très riche and Léonine as optional sub-filters narrowing the new "Riche+" filter bucket. The two extra levels rely on a syllable-aware check (attack + vowel + coda) using approximate French syllabification rules (valid onset clusters such as "pl"/"tr" stay grouped; doubled letters split as one sound) instead of the previous naive "all consonants join the next syllable" convention — this is what lets pairs like sultans/insultants or railleur/ferrailleur be correctly recognised as léonine. Several phonetic-matching gaps were also closed along the way, since they fed into the same comparison: "-tion" now matches "-ssion" (passion/nation rhyme for real, not just look similar); a monosyllabic word's leading consonant is no longer dropped from the comparison (beau/escabeau); and doubled letters, the "i"/"y" semi-consonant glide, the ê/è/ei/circumflex spellings of the same oral vowel, and an intervocalic "s" pronounced [z] are now recognised as equivalent (chêne/plaine, cieux/yeux, chaumières/chères, treize/fraise, pierre/lumière and more now correctly match, which also fixes some rhyme-scheme/colour groupings in the Syllables tab that previously separated genuine rhyme pairs). Quality badges' tooltips now explain the criterion in plain language instead of just "approximatif, orthographique". Guide tab expanded with the voyelle/consonne d'appui distinction, très riche vs léonine definitions and examples, and the fuller list of rhyme-succession forms (annexées, internes, batelées, sénées, couronnées, triplées, emperières).
• 2.8.2 — Hasard filter refinements:
  • Fixed the stats panel not updating after excluding a word ("🚫 Ne plus tirer ce mot") — it refreshed correctly after tagging actions but not after that specific one, the most common of all.
  • New "Masquer les mots déjà tagués" checkbox, always visible, next to "Masquer les mots connus" — same AND-style subtraction, but for any tag rather than just "connu". Useful for drawing only from genuinely untouched words, e.g. right after a bulk import.
  • Both the tag-add field and the tag-filter field now offer a "Voir tous les tags" expandable panel with a live search box, instead of relying solely on the browser's native (unstyled, unsorted, hard to scan once there are many tags) autocomplete dropdown.
  • The quick-filter buttons ("🚫 Explorer les exclus" / "☆ Explorer «tag»") and the two "Masquer..." checkboxes now share a single row/flex-wrap group instead of being stacked on separate lines.
• 2.8.1 — Hasard: new "Masquer les mots connus" checkbox next to the tag filters. Unlike regular tags (which widen the draw pool — OR logic), this one subtracts: when checked, it excludes anything tagged "connu" from the draw regardless of any other active filter, including theme filters or the "exclu" review mode — handy for using "connu" as a personal already-mastered marker and drawing only from what's left to learn. Only shown once the "connu" tag has actually been used at least once; unchecked by default on each panel open.
• 2.8.0 — Large Hasard and Inspiration rework, aimed at curating a big personal dictionary incrementally (e.g. after a bulk import) rather than all at once:
  • Hasard: tag filtering redesigned as a text field with autocomplete plus two always- visible quick-filter buttons ("🚫 Explorer les exclus" and one for your most-used tag), mutually exclusive with each other and with typed filters (combining "exclu" with another tag used to silently ignore the second one — fixed by making the choice explicit). The old "Voir les mots exclus" panel is gone, replaced by that same exclu quick-filter. Tags now get a stable colour each, reused across filter chips, the drawn word's chips, and dynamic preset buttons (your most-used tags, one click to apply). New "💾 Graver" button commits the drawn word permanently into dictionnaire-perso.json and clears its temporary tag record. New collapsible stats panel (total / excluded / untagged / % already seen).
  • Inspiration: replaced the old per-word "+" popover (which had a DOM bug silently breaking it for online-source words) with a click-to-select model — words stay selected across successive searches, and a shared action bar lets you add the whole selection at once to a lexical field or as rare word(s), reusing each word's known definition when available. Theme suggestions are now shown as an explicit clickable hint rather than silently pre-filled, after a word belonging to two overlapping themes could end up filed under the wrong one without it being obvious.
  • New Notes tab: lists rare words and lexical-field words missing a definition, editable inline, saved straight to dictionnaire-perso.json.
  • Fixed: personal champsLexicaux entries sharing a theme name with an existing one (built-in or personal) were never merged, only silently duplicated and hidden behind the first match — themes are now merged on load (see the dictionnaire-perso.json section above), plus a new Settings → "Nettoyer et fusionner" button to clean up files written before this fix, including repairing glued auto-generated keyword lists.
  • Fixed two more CNRTL parsing gaps in the Definitions tab: a homograph number rendered via a <sup> tag (as opposed to plain digits) left stray whitespace after tag-stripping that the article-start detection didn't tolerate, and the "word not found" message wasn't recognised in one of its phrasings — both could surface the site's own display-options menu instead of a real definition, or instead of a clean "not found" message. Also fixed definitions/etymologies occasionally rendering one character per line (multi-element markup, e.g. a Greek etymology spelled out letter by letter, flattened into stray line breaks). Definitions and etymology are now shown in their own boxed sections with a coloured heading.
  • Perf: the personal-dictionary tag lookup used a linear scan per word, fine at the built-in scale but quadratic overall once motsRares grows into the thousands (e.g. after a bulk import) — now backed by an index rebuilt on each dictionary (re)load.
• 2.7.0 — New tagging system for the Hasard tab's rare words: free-form tags addable/ removable on the fly, used to filter the random draw (OR logic — checking tags widens the pool). "exclu" is a reserved tag that permanently removes a word from the draw by default, with a one-click "👎" shortcut and a review panel to un-exclude. The draw also now avoids repeating recently-shown words, with a window that adapts to the current filtered pool size. A manual-entry form lets you add a rare word straight to your personal dictionary without an external source. New settings tab (Obsidian Settings → Carnet du Poète): toggle Mode assonance from there too, set a custom path for dictionnaire-perso.json instead of relying on automatic search, and reload the personal dictionary with one click.
• 2.6.2 — Fixed another CNRTL pollution case: words with numbered homographs in the TLFi (e.g. "ombre" is listed as OMBRE1/OMBRE2) weren't matched by the exact "MOT," pattern, falling through to a looser match that could grab the site's own display-options panel (font/colour legend) instead of the real entry. The article-start detection now accounts for an optional homograph number.
• 2.6.1 — Fixed the Synonyms tab silently ignoring personal entries saved for a word that already exists in the built-in dictionary (only the first match was ever returned; entries are now merged, so nothing you save is hidden). Fixed the CNRTL/TLFi definitions occasionally getting polluted by the site's own announcement banner and navigation menu instead of the real definition, and made the article-start detection more precise to avoid matching a page title instead of the actual entry. Added a "📄 Copier le brouillon" button to copy the raw draft text to the clipboard.
• 2.6.0 — New global "Mode assonance" toggle in the Rhymes tab (like the diaeresis toggle, off by default): when enabled, assonances (same vowel, different ending) are shown in their own clearly separate section instead of being excluded entirely, for both the local phonetic dictionary (now searched across all its groups, not just the query word's own group) and RimesSolides. The same toggle also loosens the Syllables tab's rhyme-scheme detection and colour-coding. Also fixed a latent bug this surfaced: the local phonetic dictionary's internal word-list storage still included the motsRares/champsLexicaux/synonymes custom-dictionary sections, which could crash a full-dictionary scan.
• 2.5.5 — RimesSolides results now go through the same vowel-consistency filter as the local phonetic dictionary. RimesSolides accepts a looser definition of "rime" than classical French poetry (e.g. it lists "montre", "rompre", "fondre" as rhyming with "ombre" — same nasal vowel, but a different consonant right before the final "r", which is an assonance, not a true rhyme). The plugin now applies its own stricter standard consistently, regardless of what a given source considers acceptable.
• 2.5.4 — All four online sources (Wiktionnaire, CRISCO, CNRTL, RimesSolides) now send a standard browser User-Agent header with their request; some sites treat unidentified/non-browser requests differently, which could silently return an empty or different page even though the same URL works fine when fetched normally. If RimesSolides still returns nothing for a word that clearly has results on the site, check the developer console — it now logs the response length and a preview of what was actually received, to make the real cause visible.
• 2.5.3 — The vowel-consistency safety net (added in 2.5.2 for the Syllables tab's rhyme scheme/colours only) is now also applied to the Rhymes tab's actual search results, which is the more important fix: a phonetic dictionary group that wrongly mixes unrelated vowels (e.g. everything ending in "-bre") no longer surfaces bad matches in search results or their quality badge. Also fixed the nasal/oral distinction itself: "ombre" (nasal) and "octobre" (oral, despite both starting with the letter "o") were still being treated as compatible; the consistency check now accounts for the nasalising m/n that follows a vowel, not just the vowel letter itself.
• 2.5.2 — The rhyme-scheme/colour-coding matcher no longer blindly trusts a match from the optional phonetic dictionary when it clearly contradicts the spelling-based vowel check (e.g. a dictionary that groups "sombre" and "ténèbres" together purely because both end in "-bre", ignoring the very different preceding vowel — not a real rhyme, at best an assonance). The phonetic dictionary is still trusted when nothing contradicts it.
• 2.5.1 — Fixed the rhyme-scheme/colour-coding fallback key wrongly matching words that only share their last two letters regardless of the preceding vowel sound (e.g. "sombre" and "ténèbres" were flagged as rhyming — an assonance at best, sharing only the "-bre" ending, not a real rhyme). The key is now anchored on the last actually-pronounced vowel instead of a fixed number of trailing letters, with common nasal-vowel spelling equivalences (en/an, ain/ein/yn → in) still normalised so genuine matches like "démente"/"envoûtante" keep working.
• 2.5.0 — The "-gue" ambiguity (vague, guerre, digue... when the final e would normally elide) is no longer silently resolved one way or the other: it now surfaces through the same synérèse/diérèse variant mechanism as hiatus, so both readings are visible and you choose. This was prompted by spotting a genuine inconsistency in Scribblab itself on this exact point (its own displayed breakdown didn't match its own displayed total for a "vague" line) — rather than pick a side, the ambiguity is now made explicit.
• 2.4.1 — The main (synérèse) line is now explicitly labelled as such whenever a diaeresis variant exists underneath, instead of only the diaeresis line being labelled — makes it clear at a glance which reading is which.
• 2.4.0 — Two significant syllable-counting fixes found by testing Lamartine's complete "L'Isolement" against Scribblab (went from 3/14 to 11-12/14 exact matches on this poem): the silent "u" in "qu" (que, qui, quoi, qu'il...) was wrongly counted as its own vowel, inflating counts by one in any line containing an elision like "qu'une" or "jusqu'à"; and "les/ces/des/ mes/tes/ses" were sometimes wrongly treated as elidable like the schwa word "se", occasionally dropping to 0 syllables when followed by a vowel-starting word — these determiners always keep their closed "é" sound and are never elided. (A similar fix for the "gu" digraph, e.g. "vague", was tried and reverted after it regressed a previously-validated case — treated as a genuine ambiguity for now rather than force a guess.)
• 2.3.3 — Fixed the Syllables tab toolbar (diaeresis/colour toggles, export, clear) overflowing off-screen on narrow mobile widths instead of wrapping onto a new line.
• 2.3.2 — Markdown export from the Syllables tab now includes a rhyme quality column (pauvre/suffisante/riche), computed relative to the first line of each rhyme group; the colour-coded rhyme badge's tooltip also shows it.
• 2.3.1 — Rhymes tab: each rhyme group now shows a colour-coded quality summary (pauvre/suffisante/riche counts) and every word chip carries a matching coloured border and badge; fixed the "🎲 Tire un mot au hasard" button not being centred.
• 2.3.0 — New Hasard tab (random rare/forgotten French word with a gloss and quick links to Definitions/Rhymes); fixed rhyme-group matching so that a word found in the optional phonetic dictionary while its true rhyme partner is missing from it no longer get sorted into different groups (affected both the rhyme-scheme detector and colour-coding) — elided contractions ("m'assieds") are now also stripped before matching.
• 2.2.0 — New Definitions tab (CNRTL/TLFi definitions and etymology, on demand); Rhymes tab gained filters (first letter, syllable count, rhyme quality) and an optional RimesSolides online source; automatic rhyme-scheme detection per stanza (AABB/ABAB/ABBA when applicable) with optional colour-coded rhyme badges in the Syllables tab; Markdown export of the analysis (verse / syllables / gender / rhyme letter) to the clipboard; fixed trouveFamille not matching plural words against singular-form rhyme family endings (e.g. "décombres" against the "-ombre" family).
• 2.1.0 — Fixed a typographic apostrophe (’) being stripped from words (e.g. "l'ombre" becoming "lombre"); fixed the diaeresis variant line sometimes appearing visually attached to the following verse instead of its own; added a toggle to show/hide the diaeresis variant; Inspiration tab can now optionally pull in live results from Wiktionnaire/CRISCO as bonus vocabulary; expanded the Guide with metre names, caesura, enjambment/rejet, stanza naming, more poem forms (triolet, virelai, tanka, calligramme, free/blank verse), and a note on eye-rhymes vs ear-rhymes.
• 2.0.0 — Synonyms tab can now query Wiktionnaire and/or CRISCO live (opt-in, selectable), with a one-click save into dictionnaire-perso.json; new synonymes custom-dictionary format usable independently or alongside rhyme families/phonetic dictionaries/vocabulary themes; English documentation rewrite.
• 1.9.0 — Personal-dictionary search widened to cover the root of .obsidian, the root of the vault, and a recursive scan of .obsidian — fixing cases where the file wasn't found on Android even when placed inside .obsidian.
• 1.8.0 — Full syllable-by-syllable breakdown displayed like a scansion tool (mon/ta/gne), with a second line showing the diaeresis variant when relevant; fixed rhyme gender detection for words whose silent e follows a vowel (vie, écartées, joie were previously misclassified as masculine); new Synonyms and Guide tabs.
• 1.7.0 — New Inspiration tab (thematic vocabulary), including a theme dedicated to archaic/medieval French, extensible via champsLexicaux.
• 1.6.0 — Rhyme gender badge (F/M) added to every line in the Syllables tab.
• 1.5.0 — Fixed intervocalic "y" (rayon, crayon, voyage...), which was wrongly merged with neighbouring vowels instead of separating two syllables; fixed punctuation preceded by a French typographic space (e.g. before ";") being wrongly treated as a following word.
• 1.3.0 — "ç" was no longer incorrectly stripped from analysed text (was breaking words like leçon, français, commença).
• 1.2.0 — Nasal vowels (temps, enfant, m'attends at the end of a line) were no longer wrongly counted as a droppable silent e.
