[F-R] Light Novel Importer
Describe the feature briefly Light novel importing from local storage. (SD card, local storage..etc)
Possible ways to implement Selection of being able to view local storage, if light novel fits into a specified local format specification, it may be imported. Likely Markdown format for Light Novel, with either JSON or plain-text configuration which provides some additional data, such cover, chapters, status and size of novel.
Why is it important It provides an additional source of light novels with a standard for easy importing. In addition it provides a way of importing a light novel if no extension has been written for the source as well.
This seems like a pretty neat feature, but I don't think I've seen any standard format for novels (such as web novels) that are expected to update. That would have to be elaborated/researched upon.
most my novels are in .epub or .pdf format... I remember lots of them were made with dteviot/WebToEpub then possibly converted to pdf.
As long as it's a relatively straightforward format or syntax, it shouldn't be a problem, as there exists tools or scripts for converting one format to another. (Also, probably most who would like to import novels would be aware of such means, although support for .epub and/or .pdf would be relatively useful as well.)
