Check out this book I'm writing about compilers and the process of compiling @gleam.run to wasm!

Writing compilers is hard!!

✨ Create your own book with mdbook easily

- Command line tool to create books with Markdown

- Ideal for creating product or API documentation, tutorials, course materials or anything that requires a clean, easily navigable and customizable presentation

every time a custom website is replaced with an mdbook my soul shrivels up and dies a little

I like to call myself the "chief compliance officer" because that's basically my job. I handle most of the administrative stuff like balancing the books, doing the corporate return, etc. I wrote a 11k word mdbook about all those operational aspects so our bus number can be slightly greater than 1

It took me 12 attempts, but I managed to deploy an mdbook to GitHub pages. I'm a professional!

Small improvement on mdbook CLI: it now displays where the HTML was generated.

PR: github.com/rust-lang/md...
Show where the book was generated by GuillaumeGomez · Pull Request #2729 · rust-lang/mdBook

It would be neat if Rust proc-macros could generate like, sidecar data that could be used in other parts of a build or something.

I'm thinking like for doing documentation like with `clap`'s derived, if it could also generate something that could be consumed by an `mdbook` pre-processor.

Thanks all for your answers. I tried vitepress but it didn't add chapters automatically.

Gone with mdbook from the rust ecosystem.

I have to get the extract in the right shape and the summary and searching is 'free'

If proc macros could generate sidecar data, then the mdbook processor would just need to search the crate build directory for the serialized command documentation and then use that,

No need to link the full-fat application with the processor.

You can say zig or c++ should have borrow checking but how? The closest thing to a spec is a partially complete set of datalog predicates in the polonius mdbook

So basically, Tracey has its own markdown processing pipeline. There's no integration with something like MDbook right now, because I don't use MDbook, I use my own static site generator. But the basic building blocks could be integrated in other things, including MDbook.

okay, enough people wanted to see this that i feel like a gist is good enough, so i threw this together

Started writing some high level docs for ergot. Decided to use rustdoc instead of mdbook, since it's easier to keep examples tested and up to date. Still more to do, but it's a start:

docs.rs/ergot/latest...
ergot::book - Rust
`ergot` - An Introduction

Mdbook rocks

“Rustdoc should use mdbook as a library” ahhhhh been saying this for like, literal years

Bir haftadır mdbook kullanarak bir c++ sitesi oluşturmaya çalışıyorum. Site kolay içerik sorun ve notlarımı sonunda aktardım. 40 sayfalık bir şey kaldı sonra githubda yayınlarım. Çok ilgi çekecek birşey değil ama en azından hakkımda bir bilgi oluşturur ahmaklarla diyaloğum azalır.

so it seems like (I haven't verified) colorizing adds lines sometimes. so the line numbers in the mdbook include have to correspond to the colorized output, and not the input. so that's totally fine, just means that it takes some experimentation to find the correct lines

BUT!!!!
