<p><em>mkbook</em> is my simpler alternative to <a href="https://crates.io/crates/mdbook"><em>mdbook</em></a> which is a great tool, but for which I really dislike some of the decisions they took, such as relying on javascript for highlighting and navigation, and including a lot of bells and whistles such as javascript-based search.</p>
<p>This tool aims to work somewhat similarly to <em>mdbook</em>, but is generally intended to be a more minimal alternative that is customized more towards my needs and desires than anything else.</p>
<p><em>mkbook</em> may be installed using <em>Cargo</em> (<code>cargo install --force --path .</code> in the <em>mkbook</em> repo directory), and after that it presents a command-line interface:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#2d2d2d;">
<span style="color:#d3d0c8;">$ mkbook
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">mkbook 0.1.0
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">Kenton Hamaluik &lt;kenton@hamaluik.ca&gt;
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">USAGE:
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;"> mkbook [SUBCOMMAND]
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">FLAGS:
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;"> -h, --help
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;"> Prints help information
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;"> -V, --version
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;"> Prints version information
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">SUBCOMMANDS:
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;"> build build the book
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;"> help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;"> init initialize a mkbook directory tree
</span></pre>
<p>Currently, only the <code>build</code> subcommand does anything (it builds your book!), but this functionality is still WIP:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#2d2d2d;">
<span style="color:#d3d0c8;">$ mkbook build --help
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">mkbook-build
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">build the book
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">
</span><span style="color:#d3d0c8;">USAGE:
