This is developed by the some of the same people who work on paged.js [1], which enables exactly that and is actually used to create printed materials, including books.

- creshal 3y agoI love paged, but the performance really shows why other word processors keep their rendering out of the DOM: 150 page documents with footnotes and forward+backward page references, which instantly load in a desktop app or take a few seconds in GDocs or Word Online, take several minutes to fully render in pagedjs in my experience.
