Perma-edit EPUB chapters content with customJS.

Open Palloxin opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Describe your suggested feature

A way to edit the content of downloaded chapter based on customJS upon export. A little checkbox somewhere here: Screenshot_20241011-105549_1

Why

Instead of hoping that the epub readers support epub3, Perma-editing is a sure hit. Even Moonreader(the best on android) doesnt support epub3. It's also good when the epub gets passed around.

Permanent editing doesn't seem possible since there's no way to run the JavaScript separately. It can only execute as part of the script tag within the chapter's HTML.

My thoughts were to add a setting where the user can just add a string to a list. Then we just take this list and generate the typical .replace syntax for the normal chapter view and for the epub it could just run a normal replace before saving. This way it would be easier for non programmers to edit the contents of the chapters.

However this obviously doesn't mean it would work for everything that is possible with customJs.

@CD-Z Not everything, but i hope it can accept most kinds of .replace and processing through variables.
