<p><em>mkbook</em> relies pretty extensively on <a href="https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</a> for its ease of use. If you’re not familiar with <em>Markdown</em>, it is a simple markup language that is design to be easy to read and write in plain text, and then (relatively) easy for a computer to convert into other formats such as HTML or LaTeX.</p>
|
|
|
<p>The above paragraph looks like this:</p>
|
|
|
<pre style="background-color:#2d2d2d;">

<p><em>Markdown</em> by itself isn’t quite enough for most purposes, so <em>mkbook</em> actually uses the <em>CommonMark</em> spec with some additional extensions to make life easier.</p>
