Book to Static Site
This script will export all chapters and pages within a given book to a folder of basic HTML and image files which could act as a static site.
Once ran, you should be able to open index.html within the output folder to start browsing.
This is a very simplistic single-script-file example of using the book, chapter and pages API together, the output lacks a lot of detail including styling and inter-content link transforming.
This script is a slight modification of this script by ssddanbrown
