The watch command
The watch command is useful when you want your book to be rendered on every file change.
You could repeatedly issue mdbook build every time a file is changed. But using mdbook watch once will watch your files and will trigger a build automatically whenever you modify a file.
Specify a directory
Like init and build, watch can take a directory as argument to use instead of the
current working directory.
mdbook watch path/to/book
--open
When you use the --open (-o) option, mdbook will open the rendered book in
your default web browser.
--dest-dir
The --dest-dir (-d) option allows you to change the output directory for your book.
note: the watch command has not gotten a lot of testing yet, there could be some rough edges. If you discover a problem, please report it on Github
