//! # mdBook //! //! **mdBook** is similar to Gitbook but implemented in Rust. //! It offers a command line interface, but can also be used as a regular crate. //! //! This is the API doc, but you can find a [less "low-level" documentation here](../index.html) that //! contains information about the command line tool, format, structure etc. //! It is also rendered with mdBook to showcase the features and default theme. //! //! Some reasons why you would want to use the crate (over the cli): //! //! - Integrate mdbook in a current project //! - Extend the capabilities of mdBook //! - Do some processing or test before building your book //! - Write a new Renderer //! - ... //! //! ## Example //! //! ```no_run //! extern crate mdbook; //! //! use mdbook::MDBook; //! use std::path::Path; //! //! fn main() { //! let mut book = MDBook::new(Path::new("my-book")) // Path to root //! .set_src(Path::new("src")) // Path from root to source directory //! .set_dest(Path::new("book")) // Path from root to output directory //! .read_config(); // Parse book.json file for configuration //! //! book.build().unwrap(); // Render the book //! } //! ``` //! //! ## Implementing a new Renderer //! //! If you want to create a new renderer for mdBook, the only thing you have to do is to implement //! the [Renderer trait](renderer/renderer/trait.Renderer.html) //! //! And then you can swap in your renderer like this: //! //! ```no_run //! # extern crate mdbook; //! # //! # use mdbook::MDBook; //! # use mdbook::renderer::HtmlHandlebars; //! # use std::path::Path; //! # //! # fn main() { //! # let your_renderer = HtmlHandlebars::new(); //! # //! let book = MDBook::new(Path::new("my-book")).set_renderer(Box::new(your_renderer)); //! # } //! ``` //! If you make a renderer, you get the book constructed in form of `Vec` and you get //! the book config in a `BookConfig` struct. //! //! It's your responsability to create the necessary files in the correct directories. //! //! ## utils //! //! I have regrouped some useful functions in the [utils](utils/index.html) module, like the following function //! //! ```ignore //! utils::fs::create_path(path: &Path) //! ``` //! This function creates all the directories in a given path if they do not exist //! //! Make sure to take a look at it. #[macro_use] pub mod macros; pub mod book; mod parse; pub mod renderer; pub mod theme; pub mod utils; pub use book::MDBook; pub use book::BookItem; pub use book::BookConfig; pub use renderer::Renderer;
