eBook Plugin
Features and Functionality
The eBook Plugin provides two main modes of operation:
- eBooks in System Settings: A new "eBooks" navigation item appears in the Typemill system settings. Here, you can create multiple eBook projects and compile content from across the entire website. This mode is perfect for managing large-scale or multi-section eBooks.
- eBooks in Content Pages: A new "eBooks" tab is added to each content page. Authors can generate a single eBook from the specific page or folder. This mode is perfect for creating publications of several content sections of your typemill website.
You can also activate a multi-language thumb-index in the settings. This is useful for publications like multilanguage product manuals.
Create an ebook
Creating an eBook with the plugin is simple and intuitive. Follow these three steps:
- Select Content: In the "Content" tab, you can choose the pages to include in your eBook. Use the checkboxes on the left to activate pages, while a live preview on the right displays the table of contents with all headlines from the selected content.
- Customize and Generate a PDF: In the "PDF" tab, choose a layout to tailor your eBook’s appearance. Each layout offers a unique set of customization options, such as title, subtitle, background images, imprint, or preface. After configuring the settings, save them and preview the layout in a separate window. Use your browser’s print-to-PDF feature to generate a high-quality PDF.
