@m040601 I also created issue for the release bundles and probably start a wiki2book-bin as well.

Forgot to ask.
The binary you release on github is just one file. Could you instead release it inside a tar.gz or .zip containig also the README/CHANGELOG/NEWSLICENSE/docs etc like so many others do ?
That "docs" folder definitely needs to be offline on my computer. Not online or on a wiki only.
Having the github release as a tar.gz would also make it also easy to create an AUR PKGBUILD "wiki2book-bin".
For those of us who dont want to download/compile go. In small computers, raspberry pi etc.
This also happens with pandoc, which is a monster haskell thing. Fortunately there is this popular well maintained "pandoc-bin" on the AUR.
So having "wiki2book-bin" and "pandoc-bin" on the AUR is just perfect for these cases.

@m040601 Thanks for the feedback! I created an issue to install the documentation into the doc directory. This will be part of the next minor release (however, I can't say when this will be released).

Could you please include the "docs" and the "README.md" file ? So that they land in ,
Eventually in the future you might also add a, end user relevant, "NEWS" or "CHANGELOG" and that would also land in,
Thanks in advance.

at hauke96,
just to say thank you for creating this extremely usefull tool and the work maintaining the PKGBUILD.
I've been following and checking out this "wikipedia/epubs cli tools" space for many years. Many other promising tools come and go, or are just too cumbersome with ridiculous dependencies. It's perplexing that they, wikipedia, dont provide this officially by default. They had it some years ago. A "epub book creator" that even allowed you to bundle different articles in a single epub. Amazing usefull underrated thing. Never understood why they removed such functionality.
