This commit introduces a complete overhaul of the application, replacing the previous simple Markdown editor with a powerful, Google Docs-style editor with a live preview and ODT export. The new features include: - A new three-pane UI with a Markdown editor, a live preview, and a styles panel. - A powerful styling engine that allows users to create, edit, and apply custom styles to the document. - A persistent storage mechanism for styles using a JSON file. - Support for advanced Markdown features, including code blocks and blockquotes. - A hyperlinked table of contents that is automatically generated from the headings in the document. - Auto-captioning for tables and images. - Pagination for large tables. - Secure image embedding with a domain whitelist and size limits to prevent SSRF and DoS attacks. - An improved live preview that correctly renders multi-line Markdown elements.
