This plugin seamlessly integrates with Typemill version 2.0.3. Note: If you are currently using version 1 of Typemill, it's advisable to await the stable release 2.1.0 scheduled for January 2024. While it took me approximately four weeks to overhaul this intricate plugin, I've decided to keep it free because of its unique and valuable features.

Looking ahead, I plan to introduce an additional option for users with a license, allowing them to create ebooks using an API service, eliminating the need for manual browser interactions. The eBook plugin has undergone a major revamp, with optimized design and structure. The new version now features four tabs: projects, content, pdf, and epub. Notably, the forms for pdf and epub are now completely separated. This might involve a bit more copy and paste, but the enhanced clarity is well worth it. The content selection also provides an instant preview of the headline structure for a more intuitive experience.
