mdBook

Personal implementation of Gitbook in Rust

This is still a work in progress...

cli tool

init

If you run mdbook init in a directory, it will create a couple of folders and files you can start with. This is the strucutre it creates at the moment:

book-test/
├── book
└── src
    ├── chapter_1.md
    └── SUMMARY.md

book and src are both directories. src contains the markdown files that will be used to render the ouput to the book directory.

You can also pass a directory to mdbook init to use instead of the current directory:

mdbook init path/to/my/book

^{Not implemented yet: using --theme flag will create a theme folder with the default theme in src so that you can customize it.}

build

Use mdbook build in the directory to render the book. You can also give a path as argument to use instead of the current directory.

lib

Aside the command-line tool, this crate can also be used as a library.
