• CLI and GUI!
• Creates an EPUB3 RTL standard book.
• Automatically adds a page for book information.
• Automatically generated table of contents with support for nested chapters.
• Automatically adds book part and page number to each page's footer.
• Sanitizes the book HTML from unnecessary elements and classes.
• Converts inline CSS color styles to CSS classes.
• Inline footnotes for easier navigation, click any footnote, and it will appear in a popup instead of having all footnotes in page footer.

• Books that have a last nested section with level deeper (e.g. 3) than its next section (e.g. 2) and both have the same page number (e.g. page_017.xhtml) cannot be converted to KFX unless that last nested section is removed.

• You tell me :)

• Fix TOC conversion problem when last nested section with level deeper than its next has the same page number by removing it from the TOC.

• GUI icons are made by the amazing Phosphor Icons (books - duotone - #AB8B64).
