Books have page breaks
« on: August 16, 2013, 01:22:13 am »
I like the way books are now with pages instead of a long scroll. I t would be nice to have a page break function or have the edit window show what the book will look like rather than having to leave lots of blank space and hoping it is the right amount so the book will look right when someone is reading it.

I agree, it would be nice if book edit mode matched book reading mode so you know exactly what it will look like.

I asked for a series of things like page breaks and basic formatting (bold/alignments) to make the books even better, but got ignored  :'(

Can we at least make the editor use the same format and font as the reader to eliminate the whole guess-and-check format work?

Please. But I guess this could be done with a GUI mod. I'll look into it and hope Boni or Neeno see this too.
