We now have Media Viewer and the Collection extension for making books!

  • Media Viewer is an opt in Beta Feature (enable it in the beta tab of your preferences) that allows for seeing thumbnailed images in full view via a lightbox without leaving the page.
  • Collection is an extension for making a collection of pages for printing or rendering into PDF format. Perfect for on the go reading in paper format or via a mobile device. Check the Print/Export section of the sidebar to use this feature.
    • Don't use the "Download As PDF" option, this seems to have issues. The "Create a Book" feature is fine. It will start on a random page, but you can add whatever pages you want for your book, and help documentation for this has been imported for further instructions.

Collection looks very nifty, but the sidebar links appear to be hardcoded to go to Only Sane Man no matter what page you start on.

That is very odd. Going to look into this.

Unfortunately, all it does now is lets QuestionableSanity remove all and any illustrations in favour of youtube embeds.

I simply block this crap as just another google tracking useless to me.

Do those embeds actually achieve anything that couldn't be done via link to their origin where they can be played properly?

Actually, the Widget extension is what allows for Youtube embedding, and if you wish to block it, feel free.

As for your disagreements with Questionable Sanity, I understand your concerns, but you should speak with them concerning this instead of complaining here.

I agree Youtube embeds should not completely replace all illustrations, but if it does a better job of illustrating a trope, I don't see the issue.
