### 📝 About Book Titles & Authors
101+
102+
The tool automatically extracts book titles and authors from the HTML file's header (the `<h2>` tag), which typically follows the format: **"Book Title - Author Name"**.
103+
104+
**If the book title or author appears incorrect in your CSV:**
105+
1. Open the generated CSV file in Excel, Google Sheets, or any text editor
106+
2. Manually edit the **Title** and **Author** columns as needed
107+
3. Save the file and proceed with Readwise import
