📄 Description

While working on my project, I extensively utilized BookStack as a central platform for organizing and managing content. During development, I identified the need for additional functionality to export and import books, along with their pages and chapters, as ZIP files. This would streamline data portability and enable seamless integration of BookStack content into other workflows.
To address this requirement, I implemented the following features:

Export functionality: Allows users to package a book, its pages, and chapters into a single ZIP file for download.
Import functionality: Provides the ability to upload ZIP files, automatically processing the directory structure to recreate books, pages, and chapters within BookStack.

This contribution aims to enhance BookStack’s usability by improving content sharing and migration capabilities.
Let me know if you'd like adjustments or additional details!
