Chapbook, a story format for Twine 2
by Chris Klimas
Chapbook is a story format for Twine 2, which means that it plays stories created in Twine in a web browser. It is now part of the official Twine 2 distribution, but you may also use it from this URL:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@samme/chapbook@1.2.0
There is also a micro build of Chapbook that strips out all debugging-related code, saving around 20 kilobytes of JavaScript, that is not packaged with Twine 2. To use that version, add this story format:

Chapbook is released under the MIT license. It can be used to create commercial works without royalty payment or other arrangement.
