This guide is a supplement to Master Digital Publishing With Jutoh 3 and the online help, and details the extra features in Jutoh Plus. You will learn how to use the scripting facilities which will let you automate ebook production and alteration of existing ebooks; and you will find out how to configure HTML generation via templates for complex projects.
Jutoh Plus is a mode that you can unlock by buying either the full Jutoh Plus key, or a Jutoh Plus Upgrade key which upgrades the licence from Jutoh to Jutoh Plus. If you already have the latest version of Jutoh, whether downloaded as a trial or by purchasing standard Jutoh, you can unlock Jutoh Plus by clicking on Help | Register Jutoh on the Jutoh menubar and entering your new Jutoh Plus key.

The convention Menu | Command, such as View | Preferences, indicates a menu and the command on that menu.
The notation Ctrl+S refers to holding down the control key while pressing the ‘S’ key. On Mac, you can interpret this as Command+S.
Where we refer to right-clicking, if you’re on a Mac, this action will be peformed by control-clicking since there’s only one mouse button.
The terms compiling, building and generating an ebook all refer to the same act of creating an ebook from the information in your project.
A context menu is the menu you get when right-clicking (or control-clicking on a Mac), or pressing the context menu button on a Windows keyboard.
Document is a general term for each separate item that can appear in a Jutoh project outline, whether it’s a chapter of your book, an embedded font, an audio file, or any other supported document type.
Book section refers to a specific kind of document in which you can edit text and graphics; it can contain a chapter, a title page, a table of contents or any individual part of a book. This may sometimes be abbreviated to section.
A dialog is a window that opens in response to some command or condition; usually (but not always) it needs to be dismissed before you can continue working in the main window. Dialogs usually have a Help button that will give more detailed information than this guide can cover.
Screenshots are taken on Windows, but the functionality is identical on Linux and Mac even if it looks slightly different.
