<h1>The init command</h1>
|
|
<p>The init command, used like this:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>mdbook init
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Will create a couple of files and directories in the working directory so that you can
|
|
spend more time writing your book and less setting it up.</p>
|
|
<p>The files set up for you are the following:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>book-test/
|
|
├── book
|
|
└── src
|
|
├── chapter_1.md
|
|
└── SUMMARY.md
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The <code>src</code> directory is were you write your book in markdown. It contains all the source files,
|
|
configuration files, etc.</p>
|
|
<p>The <code>book</code> directory is where your book is rendered. All the output is ready to be uploaded
|
|
to a serer to be seen by the internet.</p>
|
|
<p>The <code>SUMMARY.md</code> file is the most important file, it's the skeleton of your book.
|
|
It's so important that it has it's own <a href="">chapter</a>.</p>
|
|
<h4>Specify a directory</h4>
|
|
<p>When using the init command, you can also specify a directory, instead of using the current directory,
|
|
by appending a path to the command:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>mdbook init path/to/book
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h2>Not yet implemented</h2>
|
|
<p>In the future I would like <code>mdBook init</code> to be able to:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Copy the default theme to the <code>src</code> directory in a <code>theme</code> directory when using a flag like <code>--theme</code>.
|
|
The user could then tweak the theme to his needs.</li>
|
|
<li>Generate files that are in <code>SUMMARY.md</code>. If the user has already created a <code>SUMMARY.md</code> file and added some entries but did
|
|
not create the corresponding files, init command should create the files for him.</li>
|
|
</ul>
