Customizing Output

Publish plans include metadata and options that control how your export looks.

Metadata

Metadata appears in the generated file's properties and, for EPUB, in e-reader displays.

FieldPurpose
Book TitleAppears as the document/book title
AuthorYour name or pen name
LanguageContent language code (e.g., "en", "es")
DescriptionSummary or blurb (used in EPUB metadata)

Fill these in the "Book Metadata" section of your publish plan.

Options

The "Options" section controls what's included:

OptionEffect
Include Table of ContentsAdds a TOC page at the start
Include Cover PageAdds your project cover image

If "Include Cover Page" is enabled and you have a project cover set, it will be used. You can also specify a custom cover image URL.

Content Order

Documents appear in your export in the order they're listed in the Contents section:

  • Drag items to reorder
  • Use the arrow buttons to move items up/down
  • The TOC (if added) is typically placed first

Cover Images

For cover images to appear:

  1. Set a project cover in your project settings (see Project Covers)
  2. Enable "Include Cover Page" in your publish plan options

The cover is embedded in EPUB exports and appears as a title page in PDF/HTML.

What You Can't Customize (Yet)

Current limitations:

  • Typography — Font, size, and spacing are fixed per format
  • Page layout — PDF uses default margins and page size
  • Scene breaks — The break style is fixed
  • Chapter numbering — Not currently available

These may be added in future versions.
