bookshelf arranges your notes as books on a shelf. Each document is a chapter; the theme tracks what you have read and takes you back to where you stopped.

Property Meaning

Part Part number, in Roman (II) or Arabic (2) numerals
PartTitle Name of the part, shown in the book overview
Chapter Chapter number; 5 and Chapter 5 both work
Status Reading progress, see below
Command Commands the chapter teaches; they get their own pages

Chapters are ordered by part, then by chapter number.

Reading progress

Status Counts as
Done, Completed, Complete, Published, Closed, Final done
Reading, In progress, Review, WIP, Ongoing reading

Case does not matter. The shelf shows the progress of each book, and Continue where you left off opens the first chapter marked as reading; without one, the latest chapter that is not done.
