mdBook

Create online books from Markdown files

About mdBook

mdBook is a command-line tool that builds online books and documentation sites from Markdown files, popular with Rust projects. It runs on your own server or home hardware, so your data stays under your control instead of depending on a third-party cloud service. It also plays well alongside other self-hosted tools, since open interfaces and standard protocols make integrations and automation much easier to build.
