Hi,

Example of the output:
(generally I prefer asciidoctor, but PDF support is not always available)
HTML could have custom javascript (probably jquery) based search/filtering.

= asciidoctor
* PDF
https://pevik.github.io/asciidoctor/metadata.pdf
There is missing TOC (as :toc: does not work and adding '-a toc' to generate as:
asciidoctor -d book metadata.txt -b pdf -r asciidoctor-pdf -a toc

puts TOC at the top.

* HTML single page
https://pevik.github.io/asciidoctor/metadata.html

= asciidoc
* PDF
https://pevik.github.io/asciidoc/metadata.pdf
There is ugly revision history at the top.

* HTML single page
https://pevik.github.io/asciidoc/metadata.html

* HTML chunked

Kind regards,
