Typoteka

Getting Started ​

This walkthrough takes you from an empty app to an exported PDF.

1. Open the app and log in ​

Open the Typoteka app and log in with your account.

2. Choose a content source ​

In the GitHub Source panel, pick where your book content comes from:

  • Connect a repository: Typoteka reads book content directly from a repository that has a typoteka.json file at its root.
  • Use a local source: open Markdown files from your own machine.

3. Pick a style ​

Choose a book style from the Style menu. The style defines the look of the finished book.

4. Preview ​

Typoteka paginates your content into pages in the browser.

TIP

Pagination runs in your browser, so larger books take a little longer to finish. Wait for the preview to settle before checking the result.

On-screen controls help you inspect the layout. They are preview aids only and do not change the exported PDF:

  • Fit-to-width / zoom: scale the pages to your screen.
  • Spread / single page: switch between a two-up spread and a single-page arrangement.
  • Bleed guide: toggle a guide that shows the page bleed.

5. Export ​

When the layout looks right, choose File → Print / Save PDF. This uses the browser's print to produce your print-ready PDF.
