Folder exports now read the book's structure from your notes instead of from
filenames: the index note's link order is the chapter order, and subfolders
become nested Parts in the table of contents.
- Chapters follow the index note's links. In a folder export, the notes are
ordered by the sequence of regular[[links]]in the index note (the note
taggedbook+main, or named after the folder). Reorder the links, export
again, and the book follows — no more renaming files to move a chapter. The
first link to a note wins; embeds (![[…]]), links inside frontmatter, and
links to notes outside the folder do not count. - Unlinked notes are never dropped. Notes the index note does not mention
are appended after the linked ones, in the previous order (numericNN_
prefixes first, then by name). A folder with no index note, or an index note
with no links, exports exactly as before. - Subfolders become Parts. Every note under the exported folder, at any
depth, is now a chapter, and each subfolder that contains notes appears in
the table of contents as a Part with its chapters nested beneath it. A
subfolder's own index note (same detection rules) titles the Part, comes
first, and orders the Part's chapters; otherwise the folder name is the title.
Tapping a Part opens its first chapter. Folders with no notes beneath them
(anassets/folder) produce nothing. The root index note can place whole
Parts by linking to any note inside them. - Behaviour change to be aware of: earlier versions ignored subfolders
entirely, so adrafts/folder inside a book folder used to be silently
skipped and is now exported as a Part. Move such folders out of the book
folder to keep them out of the book. Flat folders are unaffected — their
output is byte-for-byte what 1.7.x produced. - Never fails an export. If anything goes wrong while working out the
order or the Parts, the export falls back to the previous filename order
with a warning naming the cause, and a table of contents the reader could
not open would fall back to the flat list — the book is always written. - Single-note and note-plus-linked exports are unchanged.
