Chapters and Rich Formatting

Based on your feedback, Readlang has become a fully fledged eReader with the addition of chapter navigation, as well as bold and italics:

Chapter navigation

Quickly jump to any chapter with the navigation bar at the top of the reader page:

Add chapters and formatting to your texts

When editing plain text on the Upload Page or reader sidebar you can add special symbols (borrowed from Markdown) to mean the following:

Chapters

Add ‘#’ or ‘##’ to the start of a line to make it a chapter or sub-chapter heading respectively:

A main chapter can be created by starting a line with ‘#’:

# This a chapter title

A sub-chapter can be created by starting a line with ‘##’:

## This is a sub-chapter title

Bold and italics

To add italic or bold words to your text, enclose them within ‘_’ or ‘__’ respectively, e.g.

For example, _this will be italic_.

In this sentence, __this will be bold__, isn't that pretty!

NOTE: one slight issue with the bold and italic formatting at the moment is that phrase translation won’t be able to span the boundary between italic and non-italic text. This is how the [Web Reader] has always worked and I haven’t found it to be annoying myself but if it is for you please let me know.

EPub import

The easiest way to load a fully formatted book into Readlang is to upload a DRM-free ePub. Simply visit the Upload Page, and click Choose File. You can now enjoy Readlang’s acclaimed reading aids for language learners, from a fully featured eReader.
