I've put together a short 5 minute(ish) video on how to use Author.
https://youtu.be/x5J00YBZ8Cc
Hopefully that gives a bit more insight on what it does and how to use it for those folks needing it.---

I find it funny that in the table input thread (I use that extension like crazy), I asked for a reference manual extension. I am now using this excellent extension all the time.

Update 3.8:
Added support for indent.
To use indent you need to add space in the name of the Story matching how many indention you want.
A normal entry looks like this "03.23 Fighter Abilities".
There is a single space between the leading numbers and "Fighter Abilities". That will NOT generate any indention.
"03.24 Ranger"
Note the 2 spaces between 03.24 and "Ranger". For each additional space more than 1 an additional indention will be added.
Here is a example of how it looks when used.

After I re-worked some old Reference Manuals and used Author to export the content, I have the following suggestion to further improve this excellent and time-saving extension (because nobody likes to directly edit XML, JSON or YAML files!!!):
- Make the indentation in story article's title to be taken into account in the reference manual if this is explicitly stated. There can be second checkbox next to the one for Chapter to enable this feature.
Why I think this can be of great help - When I make module I add indentation in the stories' titles so everything is nicely arranged when you open the Story library. The hierarchical structure is not always needed to be the same in the reference manual, where we have chapters and sub-chapters. Therefore the indentation should be optional when exporting to reference manual if possible. This will give even more design options to content creators and won't require extra time to modify the XML file to adjust this or that.The past is a rudder to guide us, not an anchor to hold us back.

Everything is OK with the current extension. I am not reporting bugs... I merely state that it might be good idea for more flexibility of the authors to make the indenting articles in the exported RefMan optional.
This way I can have the Story articles nicely arranged with indenting and the reference manual without this, because it has Chapter/Sub-Chapter as layout tools.
For example: Add second check-box that takes into account the spaces in the title of the story entries and makes it the same in the RefManual. If box is not checked, the export in RefMan is as before - no indentation.The past is a rudder to guide us, not an anchor to hold us back.

So, had sometime to work on tweaking Author a bit and I was able to include "frames" for text blocks. It wasn't actually that hard but I was also trying to put a frame around images which apparently can't be done. DOH!
Here is a sample. I'm still pondering how to handle how the frame type is set... this is one from CoreRPG so should work with everything.
