Browser export

When Bibliogon runs in the browser without a backend (the web app), it can still export your work — entirely client-side, with no server and no Pandoc. Six formats are available:

• Markdown (.md)
• HTML (.html)
• Plain text (.txt)
• PDF (.pdf)
• EPUB (.epub)
• DOCX (.docx)

Exporting a book or article

1. Open the book or article and go to its export page (the export button lives in the editor sidebar / toolbar).
2. Choose a format.
3. Export. The file is generated in your browser and downloaded straight to your device.

The Export-Engine setting

Settings > Verhalten (Behaviour) has an Export engine option with three choices:

• Auto (default) — use the backend pipeline when a backend is available, otherwise fall back to the in-browser export.
• Client — always export in the browser, even on the desktop.
• Backend — always use the backend pipeline (desktop only; the web app has no backend, so this falls back to client export there).

Browser export vs. Pandoc export

The desktop app's export pipeline runs Pandoc / manuscripta, which produces the highest-fidelity output — full template control, advanced PDF/LaTeX typesetting, and the write-book-template project structure.

The browser export is a self-contained, dependency-free alternative for the backendless build. It covers the same six formats and is ideal for quick exports and for working entirely offline. For production-grade print PDFs and the full template pipeline, use the desktop app with the backend engine — see EPUB and PDF.
