-/// # Preprocessing Protocol
-///
-/// When the `supports_renderer()` method is executed, `CmdPreprocessor` will
-/// execute the shell command `$cmd supports $renderer`. If the renderer is
-/// supported, custom preprocessors should exit with a exit code of `0`,
-/// any other exit code be considered as unsupported.
-///
-/// The `run()` method is implemented by passing a `(PreprocessorContext, Book)`
-/// tuple to the spawned command (`$cmd`) as JSON via `stdin`. Preprocessors
-/// should then "return" a processed book by printing it to `stdout` as JSON.
-/// For convenience, the `CmdPreprocessor::parse_input()` function can be used
-/// to parse the input provided by `mdbook`.
-///
-/// Exiting with a non-zero exit code while preprocessing is considered an
-/// error. `stderr` is passed directly through to the user, so it can be used
-/// for logging or emitting warnings if desired.
-///
-/// # Examples
-///
-/// An example preprocessor is available in this project's `examples/`
-/// directory.
+/// See <https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/for_developers/preprocessors.html>
+/// for a description of the preprocessor protocol.

-/// # Rendering Protocol

-/// When the renderer's `render()` method is invoked, `CmdRenderer` will spawn
-/// the `cmd` as a subprocess. The `RenderContext` is passed to the subprocess
-/// as a JSON string (using `serde_json`).

-/// Anything the subprocess writes to `stdin` or `stdout` will be passed through
-/// to the user. While this gives the renderer maximum flexibility to output

-/// unnecessary output.
-///
-/// To help choose the appropriate output level, the `MDBOOK_LOG` environment
-/// variable will be passed through to the subprocess, if set.
-///
-/// If the subprocess wishes to indicate that rendering failed, it should exit
-/// with a non-zero return code.
