Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Describe the feature you'd like
If a book has many pages it becomes visually challenging to oversee the page titles. Chapters do part of the job, but if one’s looking already at a pages of a chapter.
The idea is to be able to drag in horizontal separators to visually group certain pages. To get a better idea, here’s a before & after:
Before
After
Note the horizontal separators. Also the height of the gaps between the page titles has been reduced by 20 px.
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users
Better legibility, faster navigation. Think of the blank pages inside a paper book
Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
Sub-Categories might be an alternative path, but IMO it potentially adds more clutter.
Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?
How long have you been using BookStack?
1 to 5 years
Additional context
I chose not to draw lines within the white page background, but instead to „break separate“ the white page background. IMO this is less cluttering and cleaner, due to the disturbance the blue/orange vertical lines in front of the pages/chapters already create.
@soflane commented on GitHub (Sep 22, 2022):
Indeed it would be great to make some 'pagebreak' in order to make the pdf export more structured. Issue #992 is also relating it.
I saw that the original editor TInyMCE has the feature as a plugin (see here).
Would be there any way to integrate the TinyMCE plugins into bookstack ?
Thanks in advance
