49 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/laptop_chromebook.svg"}}</span>Easy, Simple Interface</h4>
51 Simplicity has been the top priority when building BookStack. The page editor has a simple WYSIWYG interface and all content is broken into three simple real world groups:
54 <span class="icon book" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/book.svg"}}</span>Books
55 <span class="icon chapter" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/collections_bookmark.svg"}}</span>Chapters
56 <span class="icon page" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/description.svg"}}</span>Pages
59 <div class="col-sm-4" >
60 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/search.svg"}}</span>Searchable and Connected</h4>
62 The content in BookStack is fully searchable. You are able to search at book level or across all books, chapters & pages. The ability to link directly to any paragraph allows you to keep your documentation connected.
70 <div class="col-sm-4">
71 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/build.svg"}}</span>Configurable</h4>
73 Configuration options allow you to set-up BookStack to suit your use case. You can change the name, logo and registration options. You can also change whether the whole system is publicly viewable or not.
76 <div class="col-sm-4" >
77 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/storage.svg"}}</span>Simple Requirements</h4>

86 drawing capability built-in, allowing the quick and easy creation of diagrams within your documentation.

117 <div class="col-sm-4" >
118 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/directions_boat.svg"}}</span>Powerful Features</h4>
120 On top of the powerful search and linking there is also cross-book sorting, page revisions and image management. A full role and permission system allow you to lock down content and actions as required.
123 <div class="col-sm-4" >
124 <h4><span class="icon" aria-hidden="true">{{partial "icon/mfa.svg"}}</span>Multi-Factor Authentication</h4>
