I've been using this wonderful tool a lot over the last few days - thanks again! I had a suggestion I thought I'd make about text handling.
I was recently re-reading the Marlowe plays, and thought I'd use the reader this time around. I downloaded the plain text versions from Gutenberg (most are only available in plain text). Most Gutenberg formatting apps, including this one, strip the single returns so the text flows on the display. However, with plays and poetry, you don't want that. I just used Wordpad to save as RTF (need that metadata so the book list looks nice), but it made me think - there are any number of operations that might need to be tweaked from book to book (like the page number stripping someone mentioned). I believe you said you might put things like that into a config file so people could modify/add, perhaps it could be a little more dynamic - have a little "always on top" window of checkboxes listing each operation that can be done on the text. You could check/uncheck various operations and hit "apply" to see how it would look.
It would also be nice, when TOC generation is working, to be able to change the pattern you use to find headings worthy of a TOC entry from within the program, rather than having to exit, change the config file, and try again.
