olivier 537198c4f1 Add remaining type aliases, rewrite settings tab as syntax TL;DR 
- Add age (birthday), remaining (countdown), elapsed (since) aliases,
  alongside the existing bday/until/difference.
- README: document new aliases in each type's header and the Type
  Aliases section.
- Settings tab rewritten: drop the stale GitHub doc link and hardcoded
  pre-redesign examples (countdown+from, auto-colon labels). Replace
  with a compact syntax TL;DR \u2014 all four types with their aliases,
  fields, and one-line descriptions, plus relative dates, frontmatter
  fallback, and inline/fenced examples \u2014 and link to the README on
  Gitea (was pointing at a stale GitHub URL).

Verified: aliases tested against the real shipped config parser; the
settings tab's actual display() (found via app.setting.pluginTabs) was
invoked live in Obsidian and rendered exactly the intended content with
no errors.

olivier 68e7b3ab04 Syntax redesign: sharpen countdown/diff, symmetric frontmatter, relative dates 
- Sharpen countdown vs diff: countdown is now always relative to now and
  no longer accepts a 'from' field (previously identical math to diff
  with a custom from, just different message framing).
- Add symmetric frontmatter fallback to countdown (to/deadline), diff
  (from/start, to/end), and since (since/created) \u2014 previously only
  birthday read frontmatter.
- Add relative date support to parseMoment: today, now, tomorrow,
  yesterday, and +/-N offsets (d/w/mo/y/h/m), always relative to now.
  Fixes diff's main weakness of needing hardcoded, staling dates.
- Make label verbatim everywhere (was auto-appending ': ' for countdown
  only, inconsistent with birthday's verbatim convention).
- Fix silent inline failures: unresolvable type now shows an explicit
  error ('Missing or unrecognized type') instead of rendering nothing,
  matching fenced-block behavior. Also fixes 'from=X' alone (documented
  since-alias) not inferring a type.
- Remove the 'YAML-like' comma-separated inline format from docs \u2014 it
  isn't valid non-flow YAML and silently produced nothing; only
  key=value and {flow-mapping} are documented now.
- README rewritten to match: field references, frontmatter docs per
  type, and a new relative-dates section.

Verified against the real bundled logic (12 behavioral checks) and live
in Obsidian via CDP across both Live Preview and Reading View.

olivier 526f54a640 1.1.0: fix Live Preview crash, add Reading View inline support, birthday labels 
- Fix RangeSetBuilder ordering crash: inline and fenced-block decorations
  are now merged and sorted before being added, instead of two unsorted
  passes (crashed whenever a fenced block preceded inline code in a note).
- Add explicit @codemirror/state and @codemirror/view devDependencies
  (previously only transitive via @codemirror/language).
- Add Reading View support for inline `date-calc:` spans via
  registerMarkdownPostProcessor (previously Live Preview only), mirroring
  the approach used by Dataview's inline queries.
- Fix verbose=false being silently truthy (non-empty string) in inline
  key=value config, which meant it never actually disabled verbose output.
- Fix diff type auto-inference: from/to was dead code (countdown's check
  always matched first); reordered so from+to or start+end infer diff.
- Implement documented but missing birthday label support: cfg.label,
  falling back to frontmatter name ("Jane's age:"), then "Age:".
- Split main.ts (777 lines) into src/ modules per AGENTS.md conventions.
- Fix duplicated command-palette prefixes, move inline JS styles to
  styles.css, fix package.json author, drop orphaned showArrow setting.

Verified: unit tests against the real bundled logic (mocked obsidian
module), a reproduction of the RangeSetBuilder crash against the real
@codemirror/state package, and live end-to-end testing in Obsidian via
CDP/Playwright (Tchernobyl vault).

An Obsidian plugin that adds dynamic date calculations to your notes using `date-calc` fenced code blocks and inline code.

### Inline Code
Use inline code for quick calculations: `date-calc: birthday=1992-08-16`
**Note about Live Preview**: Inline code works in both Reading view and Live Preview mode. In Live Preview, the result appears after the inline code (e.g., `date-calc: birthday=1992-08-16` → Age: 32 years old...). However, inline code does **not** work for live-preview in Source mode - you'll see the literal code until you switch to Reading view or Live Preview mode.
**Rendering modes**: Inline code and fenced blocks both render in Reading view and Live Preview mode. In Source mode, you'll see the literal `date-calc:` code until you switch to Reading view or Live Preview.
## Supported Calculation Types
### Birthday (`birthday`)
### Birthday (`birthday`, `bday`, `age`)
Calculates age and time until next birthday with enhanced personalization features.
Calculates age and time until next birthday.
**Fields:**
- `birthday` (or `birthdate`, `date`): Birth date in YYYY-MM-DD format
- `label` (optional): Custom label (defaults to "Age:")
- `birthday` (or `birthdate`, `date`): Birth date
- `label` (optional): Full prefix text, used verbatim — include your own punctuation (defaults to `Age:`)
**Frontmatter Support:** If not provided in the code block, the plugin will look for `birthday`/`birthdate`, and `name` properties in the note's frontmatter.
**Frontmatter Support:** If not provided in the code block, reads `birthday`/`birthdate` from the note's frontmatter. If no `label` is set, a frontmatter `name` property personalizes the default label automatically (e.g. `name: John` → `John's age:`).
**Examples:**

### Countdown (`countdown`, `until`, `remaining`)
### Countdown (`countdown` or `until`)
Shows time remaining until a target date.
Time remaining until a target date, **always measured from now**. For a comparison between two fixed dates, use `diff` instead.
**Fields:**
- `to` (or `date`, `until`): Target date/time
- `from` (optional): Starting date/time (defaults to now)
- `label` (optional): Prefix label for the output
- `label` (optional): Full prefix text, used verbatim (e.g. `label: "New Year:"`)
**Examples:**
**Frontmatter Support:** If `to` isn't provided in the code block, reads `to`/`deadline` from the note's frontmatter.
**Example:**
```date-calc
type: countdown
label: New Year
label: "New Year:"
to: 2025-12-31 23:59
```
```date-calc
type: countdown
label: Sprint ends
to: 2025-10-15 17:00
from: 2025-10-01 09:00
```
### Since (`since`, `elapsed`)
### Since (`since`)
Shows time elapsed since an event (or time until if the event is in the future).
Time elapsed since an event (or time until, if the event is in the future) — always measured against now.
**Fields:**
- `since` (or `from`, `date`): Event date/time
**Frontmatter Support:** If not provided in the code block, reads `since`/`created` from the note's frontmatter.

### Difference (`diff`, `difference`)
### Difference (`diff`)
Calculates the time difference between two specific dates.
The time difference between two fixed dates — neither has to be "now". For a countdown relative to the present moment, use `countdown` instead.
**Fields:**
- `from` (or `start`): Start date/time
- `to` (or `end`): End date/time
**Frontmatter Support:** If not provided in the code block, reads `from`/`start` and `to`/`end` from the note's frontmatter.

## Inline Usage
You can use inline code for quick calculations:
- `date-calc: birthday=1992-08-16` → Birthday summary
- `date-calc: to=2025-12-31 label="New Year"` → Countdown
- `date-calc: to=2025-12-31 label="New Year:"` → Countdown
- `date-calc: since=2024-12-20` → Time since event
- `date-calc: from=2025-09-19 to=2025-09-20` → Date difference
**YAML Format:** Inline code also accepts YAML/inline-map format:
`date-calc: {type: birthday, birthday: 1992-08-16}`
**Formats:** Inline code accepts key=value pairs (`birthday=1992-08-16`) or a flow-mapping YAML object (`{type: birthday, birthday: 1992-08-16}`).
**Frontmatter Integration:** For inline birthday calculations, if no date is provided, the plugin will use the note's frontmatter `birthday`/`birthdate` property.
**Frontmatter Integration:** Applies to every type, not just birthday — see each type's "Frontmatter Support" above.
## Date Formats
- **Timezone:** All calculations use your local timezone
- **Birthday Calculations:** Normalized to local midnight to avoid timezone inconsistencies
| Format | Example | Notes |
| :------------------ | :------------------------------ | :----------------------------------------- |
| Date only | `2026-12-31` | — |
| Date + time | `2026-12-31 23:59` | — |
| ISO 8601 | `2026-12-31T23:59:00` | — |
| Relative keyword | `today`, `now`, `tomorrow`, `yesterday` | Resolved at render time |
| Relative offset | `+7d`, `-3mo`, `+2w`, `-1y` | Units: `d`, `w`, `mo`, `y`, `h`, `m` (minutes) — always relative to now |
All dates use your local timezone. Birthday calculations normalize to midnight to avoid timezone edge cases; `today`/relative keywords resolve to your local time at render.
Relative dates are most useful with `diff`, since `countdown`/`since` are already anchored to now by default — e.g. `type: diff` with `from: today` and `to: +30d` gives a fixed 30-day window that doesn't need updating.
## Configuration Options
@@ -159,70 +154,44 @@ verbose: true
- `verbose: true` → "Countdown: 1 year, 2 months, 15 days"
- `verbose: false` → "1y 2mo 15d"
### Hide While Editing
Settings → "Hide result while cursor inside" prevents rendered output from showing while you're editing the code, keeping the raw syntax visible.
## Date Formats
| Format | Example | Use Case |
| :---------- | :-------------------- | :-------------------- |
| Date only | `2026-12-31` | Birthdays, countdowns |
| Date + time | `2026-12-31 23:59` | Precise countdowns |
| ISO 8601 | `2026-12-31T23:59:00` | Also supported |
All dates use your local timezone. Birthday calculations normalize to midnight to avoid timezone edge cases.
## Field Reference
### Birthday
- `birthday` / `birthdate` / `date` — Birth date
- `verbose` — Override output format (optional)
- `birthday` / `birthdate` / `date` — Birth date (falls back to frontmatter `birthday`/`birthdate`)
- `label` — Full prefix, verbatim (defaults to `Age:`, or `<frontmatter name>'s age:` if set)
- `verbose` — Override output format
### Countdown
- `to` / `until` / `date` — Target date/time
- `from` — Start date (defaults to now)
- `label` — Custom prefix
- `to` / `until` / `date` — Target date/time (falls back to frontmatter `to`/`deadline`)
- `label` — Full prefix, verbatim
- `verbose` — Override output format
### Since
- `since` / `from` / `date` — Event date/time
- `since` / `from` / `date` — Event date/time (falls back to frontmatter `since`/`created`)
- `verbose` — Override output format
### Diff
- `from` / `start` — Start date/time
- `to` / `end` — End date/time
- `from` / `start` — Start date/time (falls back to frontmatter `from`/`start`)
- `to` / `end` — End date/time (falls back to frontmatter `to`/`end`)
- `verbose` — Override output format
## Type Aliases
For convenience, use these shortcuts:
- `birthday` = `bday`
- `countdown` = `until`
- `birthday` = `bday` = `age`
- `countdown` = `until` = `remaining`
- `since` = `elapsed`
- `diff` = `difference`
## Inline Syntax Formats
All three formats work:
**Key=value:** ```date-calc: birthday=1992-08-16```
**YAML-like:** ```date-calc: type: birthday, birthday: 1992-08-16```
**Compact:** ```date-calc: {type: birthday, birthday: 1992-08-16}```
