mdBook

mdBook is a command-line tool that makes it easy to create a book and website from markdown files. It is developed by the Rust community and is widely used for technical documentation, especially for Rust projects. mdBook generates static HTML files that can be easily hosted on any web server. It supports common markdown features and also includes extensions for specific needs like syntax highlighting, admonitions, and internal linking.

The structure of an mdBook project is typically organized into a series of markdown files and a configuration file named `book.toml`. This configuration file allows users to customize various aspects of the book, such as the title, author, table of contents, and theme. mdBook can also handle different content types, including code examples, images, and diagrams.

To create an mdBook, users first install the tool, then create a new book project using a simple command. They can then edit the markdown files to add their content. Once the content is ready, mdBook is used to build the book into a set of static HTML files. This build process also generates a table of contents, an index, and other navigational elements. The resulting website is responsive and provides a good reading experience across different devices. mdBook is an open-source project and is available under a permissive license.
