对于带div容器的多章节网页它保存不完整,只能保存第一章节。

Seems not working anymore, also there are a lot of pending PR on the Github repo. Most likely not maintained anymore.

When I click the "edit chapter" menu after adding some pages as chapters, those pages disappeared and nothing was shown there. This happens so often, rather frustrating!
