# Style Guides Feature - Complete Summary

## What Has Been Implemented

### 1. ✅ Core Module: `style_guide_manager.py`
**Status:** Complete

A new Python module that provides the `StyleGuideLibrary` class for managing translation style guides.

**Key Features:**
- Load style guides from Markdown and text files
- CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
- Batch operations (add content to all guides at once)
- Import/Export functionality
- Metadata tracking (creation date, modification date)
- Support for 5 default languages: Dutch, English, Spanish, German, French

**Methods Available:**
```python
load_all_guides()                          # Load all guides
get_guide(language)                        # Get specific guide
get_all_languages()                        # List available languages
get_guide_content(language)                # Get guide content
update_guide(language, new_content)        # Update a guide
append_to_guide(language, content)         # Add content to guide
append_to_all_guides(content)              # Add to all guides at once
create_guide(language, content)            # Create new guide
export_guide(language, export_path)        # Save to file
import_guide(language, import_path, append) # Load from file
```

**Location:** `c:\Dev\Supervertaler\modules\style_guide_manager.py`

---

### 2. ✅ Default Style Guides (5 Languages)
**Status:** Complete

Created initial markdown files for each supported language with comprehensive formatting guidelines.

**Files Created:**
- `user data/Style_Guides/Dutch.md`
- `user data/Style_Guides/English.md`
- `user data/Style_Guides/Spanish.md`
- `user data/Style_Guides/German.md`
- `user data/Style_Guides/French.md`

**Content Included in Each Guide:**
- ✅ Number formatting (thousand separators, decimals, negatives)
- ✅ Units and measurements conventions
- ✅ Range and mathematical expression formats
- ✅ Comparison and symbol usage guidelines
- ✅ Terminology and style notes
- ✅ Language-specific additional guidelines

**Example (from the Excel file you provided):**
```
Dutch:
- Thousand separator: 10.000 (period)
- Decimal separator: 1,5 (comma)
- Negative numbers: -1 (hyphen)
- Space before unit: 25 °C
```

---

### 3. ✅ Configuration Integration
**Status:** Complete

Updated `config_manager.py` to include Style_Guides in the required folder structure.

**Changes Made:**
- Added `"Style_Guides"` to `REQUIRED_FOLDERS` list
- Folder will be automatically created on first launch
- Can be accessed via: `config.get_subfolder_path('Style_Guides')`

---

### 4. ✅ Application Integration
**Status:** Complete - Core setup done, UI integration ready

**Updated in `Supervertaler_v3.7.1.py`:**
- ✅ Added import: `from modules.style_guide_manager import StyleGuideLibrary`
- ✅ Initialized style guide library on startup:
  ```python
  style_guides_dir = get_user_data_path("Style_Guides")
  self.style_guide_library = StyleGuideLibrary(
      style_guides_dir=style_guides_dir,
      log_callback=self.log
  )
  ```

**Available in App:**
- `self.style_guide_library` - Main interface to style guides
- Can load, read, and update guides programmatically
- Ready for UI integration

---

### 5. 📋 Documentation Created
**Status:** Complete - templates and guides ready

**Files Created:**
- `docs/STYLE_GUIDES_IMPLEMENTATION.md` - Architecture overview and implementation guide
- `docs/STYLE_GUIDES_UI_TEMPLATE.py` - Complete UI template ready to integrate
- This summary document

---

## What's Ready to Implement (Next Steps)

### Phase 2: UI Implementation

#### A. Add "Style" Tab to Assistant Panel
**Template Provided:** `docs/STYLE_GUIDES_UI_TEMPLATE.py`

The template shows exactly how to:
1. Create a two-panel interface (list on left, content on right)
2. Display list of available style guides
3. Show content of selected guide
4. Allow editing and saving
5. Provide import/export buttons

**Steps to implement:**
1. Create a method `create_style_guides_tab()` in the main app
2. Copy and adapt the UI template code
3. Add the tab to the assistant panel's notebook widget around line 15290
4. Connect the UI to `self.style_guide_library` methods

#### B. Chat Interface for AI Integration
The template includes a chat interface ready for:
- User requests like "Add this to Dutch guide"
- "Add this to all guides"
- AI-powered style analysis
- Planned integration with `self.prompt_assistant`

#### C. Example Integration Point in Main File

Around line 15290-15300, you'll see the notebook creation:
```python
notebook = ttk.Notebook(prompts_frame)
notebook.pack(fill='both', expand=True)

# This is where tabs are added - add Style tab here:
# style_tab = ttk.Frame(notebook)
# notebook.add(style_tab, text='📖 Style', sticky='nsew')
# self.create_style_guides_tab(style_tab)  # Call the template
```

## How to Test What's Been Implemented

### Test 1: Module Loading
```python
from modules.style_guide_manager import StyleGuideLibrary

# Test initialization
guides = StyleGuideLibrary("user data/Style_Guides")
guides.load_all_guides()
print(guides.get_all_languages())  # Should print: ['Dutch', 'English', 'Spanish', 'German', 'French']
```

### Test 2: Reading a Guide
```python
dutch = guides.get_guide('Dutch')
print(dutch['language'])     # Should print: 'Dutch'
print(dutch['_modified'])    # Should show timestamp
print(len(dutch['content'])) # Should be > 0
```

### Test 3: Updating a Guide
```python
new_content = guides.get_guide_content('Dutch') + "\n\n## New Section\nNew content here"
guides.update_guide('Dutch', new_content)
# Should print: ✓ Updated style guide: Dutch
```

### Test 4: Batch Operations
```python
additional = "\n\n## Company Standards\n- Use Oxford comma\n- Formal tone"
success, failed = guides.append_to_all_guides(additional)
print(f"Success: {success}, Failed: {failed}")  # Should print: Success: 5, Failed: 0
```

## Design Patterns Used

### 1. Similar to Prompt Library
The `StyleGuideLibrary` follows the same patterns as `PromptLibrary`:
- Same initialization pattern
- Same directory structure approach
- Same logging callback interface
- Familiar methods and organization

### 2. UI Pattern Consistency
The UI template follows the same layout as:
- System Prompts tab
- Custom Instructions tab
- Prompt Assistant panel

This ensures users get a consistent experience across the application.

### 3. Modular Design
- Core logic in separate module (`style_guide_manager.py`)
- Easy to test independently
- Easy to extend with new features
- UI is separate from business logic

## Example Usage Scenarios

### Scenario 1: User Opens Supervertaler
1. App loads default style guides (Dutch, English, Spanish, German, French)
2. User sees "Style" tab in Assistant panel
3. User clicks on "Style" tab
4. User sees list of available languages on the left
5. User selects "Dutch" and sees Dutch style guidelines on the right

### Scenario 2: User Wants to Add Company Standards
1. User selects "All" or just "Dutch"
2. User pastes: "Company standard: Always use Oxford comma"
3. User clicks "Add to All Guides" or "Add to Selected"
4. AI Assistant (placeholder in template) processes the request
5. Update is applied to one or all guides

### Scenario 3: User Wants to Export Guide
1. User selects "English"
2. User clicks "Export"
3. File dialog appears
4. User saves as `english_company_style.md`
5. File is saved with all current content

### Scenario 4: User Wants to Import Guide
1. User selects "German"
2. User clicks "Import"
3. File dialog appears
4. User selects a file with new style rules
5. App asks: "Append or Replace?"

## Clever Design Features

### 1. **Smart File Naming**
- File name = Language name (Dutch.md, English.md)
- Automatic detection of available languages
- Supports both .md and .txt formats

### 2. **Metadata Tracking**

- Modification time updated on save
- Useful for "recently modified" features

### 3. **Batch Operations**
- `append_to_all_guides()` - Add standards to all languages at once
- Single operation saves multiple files
- Perfect for company-wide style updates

### 4. **Import/Export Flexibility**
- Export guides for sharing or backup
- Import from Excel files (manually converted)
- Optional append mode to merge content

### 5. **Extensibility**
- Easy to add new languages (just create new .md file)
- Easy to add new features (new methods)
- Already integrated into config system for folder management
