What do you mean by compendium format?

A Compendium is a Roll 20 product type. If you're familiar with D&D Beyond, it's almost similar to that. It enables you to search for specific entries and pull them up as you do in D&D Beyond, making it easy for DMs to use MME.

Roll20

Roll20 brings pen-and-paper gameplay to your browser with features that save time and enhance your favorite parts of tabletop games.

Looking good. Will be glad to be able to (pre-)order so I don’t forget. Right now, old version is still up and don’t want a print copy of that. Did order prints of I and III though, should be here this coming week.

Not really Monster Manual Expanded related, but after dozens of requests, yes, Monster Talents will get a 2nd Edition update and finally become available for Print-on-Demand early next year! The update will include the Elite and Legendary monster templates! Hooray! Cover art by WotC artist Joshua Raphael!

Monster Manual Expanded II 2nd Edition Art Preview #22. An oft-forgotten beholderkin, the Gouger specialized in blinding and killing other beholders with its spear-like barbed tongue. You might as well just call it the Impaler when facing humanoid-sized foes.
