There were (in this early stage of the document) some chapters without subsections. split_by: section will cause an error in case of chapters without sections.

Yes, this is possible. Not necessarily easy, but possible.

First - there is nothing in the Actions on Google library or in Google Home that will automatically scrape a website. That will be up to you.

Second - Responses from your Action are limited in how much they can send at a time.

If you're having it do text-to-speech, you're limited to two "text bubbles" of 640 characters each before the user has to reply. You should keep well below that and should probably stick to just one "text bubble".

If you're playing an audio cut, then you're limited to two minutes.

You can work around both of these limitations by using the Media Response. With TTS, you would play a portion of the text, a brief Media response, at the conclusion of which, your server would be triggered to send the next chunk of text. If it is all recorded, you can just send the longer audio as the Media.

Be advised, however, that if you're using the inline editor or using Firebase Cloud Functions (which the inline editor uses), that by default you're not able to access most sites outside Google's network. You need to upgrade to a paid plan to do so. I suggest the Blaze plan which is pay-as-you-go, but includes a free tier which is typically good enough for development work and light production usage.

Your href attribute is considered a relative path without an explicit protocol in the string, e.g. http: or javascript:, etc. This is why it was prepending the origin domain to your URL string.
