//! # 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;
|
|
//!
|
|
//! # #[allow(unused_variables)]
|
|
//! fn main() {
|
|
//! let mut book = MDBook::new("my-book") // Path to root
|
|
//! .with_source("src") // Path from root to source directory
|
|
//! .with_destination("book") // Path from root to output directory
|
|
//! .read_config() // Parse book.toml configuration file
|
|
//! .expect("I don't handle configuration file errors, but you should!");
|
|
//!
|
|
//! 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;
|
|
//! #
|
|
//! # #[allow(unused_variables)]
|
|
//! # fn main() {
|
|
//! # let your_renderer = HtmlHandlebars::new();
|
|
//! #
|
|
//! let book = MDBook::new("my-book").set_renderer(Box::new(your_renderer));
|
|
//! # }
|
|
//! ```
|
|
//! If you make a renderer, you get the book constructed in form of `Vec<BookItems>` 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 [`utils::fs::create_file(path:
|
|
//! &Path)`](utils/fs/fn.create_file.html)
|
|
//!
|
|
//! This function creates a file and returns it. But before creating the file it checks every directory in the path to see if it exists, and if it does not it will be created.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Make sure to take a look at it.
