LNReader
[Feature request] Chapter content editor
Describe your suggested feature
A way to edit chapters content while reading. -Sometimes novels are so messy i want to manually correct them while i read(especially MTLs that mix-up pronouns, normal novel with typos, grammar mistakes etc.); then export to epub and share with the community. Some website also accept re-update requests.
It should look like this:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d20746d3-bd9b-4e12-a5fe-f6110db582dc
I achieved it by using this Js
document.documentElement.contentEditable = true;
of course, it doesnt save the content.
How to implement it UI wise? A button to enter Edit mode, find the text, edit, and save button. Once Save button has been pressed switch to Reading mode again. Very fast and clean.
Other details
I currently edit imported epubs by simply going to Android folder, lnreader, novels, local, and here it is the chapter. However this method is evidently cumbersome.
Currently there are no epub editors for android that can modify chapter content.
LNReader would become the first, potentially making users improve badly formatted stuff while reaading; then export as epub once finished and share.
I know because I mainly read epubs given from the community.. they can be messy too.

A low maintenance alternative would be using third party Text editors:

by just giving the trigger of the file path (or.something like that) since chapters are in the Android folder like in the video.
Frankly it's more comfortable the first propose, but this second one can do too.
