Hey, Noah.

Something you might want to try ...

I built a plugin for the Newton Glossary site that let you export a text file of the current content in a format that can be used to create a Paperback book using Victor’s Paperback Online Book Maker.

https://ritsuko.chuma.org/paperback/

Just go to this URL and save the file when prompted:

https://newtonglossary.com/export/paperback <https://newtonglossary.com/terms/paperback>

Hrm ... I just tried generating a Paperback book with an exported file, but it appears that Victor’s tool is only spitting out O bytes files at the moment. It might need a kick in the scripts.

I’m setting the option to generate the table of contents. If you do this, the prefix is: @@TOC

I also set the Text Encoding to UTF-8.

Let me know how it goes.

PS: The technical bits regarding the plugin are on GitHub.
