What do I mean by this? Well, this is how The German Ideology used to look on ProleWiki:

https://en.prolewiki.org/index.php?title=Library%3AThe_German_ideology&oldid=85037

And this is what it looks like now: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Library:The_German_ideology

In the ‘before’, the book was imported entirely on a single page. This is how all books on prolewiki are.

In the after, the book is on a single page, but you can also use the integrated table of contents to navigate directly inside a chapter subpage. E.g.: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Library:The_German_ideology/The_essence_of_the_materialist_conception_of_history_Social_being_and_social_consciousness

This gives readers choice as to how they want to read books.

We have to run a script on every library page individually so it’ll take some time and new books will probably lag behind before they’re split, but this is a net positive overall

Also reminder to press ‘0’ on your keyboard (desktop only) when using prolewiki to enable reading mode, and check the gear icon in the sidebar for customization/accessibility options.

      Interesting! I have never heard of that one but I saw that Lenin has a few different chapters already in this book about Bogdanov and his work. So it might indeed be worth checking out to see how their views different at some point :)
