This is an incredibly useful, practically flawlessly working plug-in, especially since Wikipedia has discontinued its e-book building tool, leaving only the practically useless "Print to PDF" feature. I have tried several other "Wikipedia bookifying" tools, and none comes close.

I have a pretty big feature request, though (two related ones, actually):
  • The easier one: when several Wikipedia pages are combined into a book, post-process the book so that Wikipedia hyperlinks leading to other articles in the same book are converted to intra-book hyperlinks.
  • The more difficult ones: after processing the requested pages, present a menu of other Wikipedia pages referenced from the book. Allow the user to select those that should be included, too. Process them, then repeat the process until done.
    Of course, do the hyperlink translation as per the first request, too.
    I know this I much more involved, requiring essentially iterating the whole processing the plugin does over and over, inserting a bit of UI dialog after every iteration, potentially rearranging already generated content etc. But it would be immensely cool.

I see your plugin does not have a contribution link. Well, I guess I will send a buck or two to Calibre itself, then

Thank you for this great tool!
