PageEdit is not a plugin. PageEdit is a simple standalone application the uses QtWebEngine. Once our engine branch replaces master, we would expect Sigil users to use "open with" to launch it with an xhtml page to do much of what BookView mode once did.
Interestingly, PageEdit might be useful to some calibre users and for some simple web development.
We are still working on both to reduce the minimum requirement from Qt 5.12.x to Qt 5.9.x (primarily dealing with the web-inspector internal api which was introduced in Qt 5.11.x.) Also neither the engine branch nor PageEdit has complete translations yet as we only use one base.ts resource on Transifex at a time.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
BTW, PageEdit uses cmake too and should probably build out of the box on any system that supports building Sigil and uses Qt 5.12.x like Arch.
