For Feature Requests

Desired Feature:

  • The ability to design a simple header/footer to be rendered in a PDF export (or HTML export).
  • The ability to submit CSS 2.1 styling in the Settings of BookStack, this would allow us to at least change the font family / size / colors of the outputs.

I'm going to now close this off since the original requests are now possible in some way:

  • The visual theme system can be used to tweak the export templates to add a header and footer. I made a video on this process here.
  • CSS tweaks can be made targeting child elements of .export-format-pdf, since this class is applied to the body during pdf exports. You can simple place such tweaks in the "Custom HTML Head Content" customization setting.
