+
+### Code Quality
+
+We love code quality and Rust has some excellent tools to assist you with contributions.
+
+#### Formatting Code with rustfmt
+
+Before you make your Pull Request to the project, please run it through the `rustfmt` utility.
+This will ensure we have good quality source code that is better for us all to maintain.
+
+[rustfmt](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt) has a lot more information on the project.
+The quick guide is
+
+1. Install it (`rustfmt` is usually installed by default via [rustup](https://rustup.rs/)):
+    ```
+    rustup component add rustfmt
+    ```
+1. You can now run `rustfmt` on a single file simply by...
+    ```
+    rustfmt src/path/to/your/file.rs
+    ```
+   ... or you can format the entire project with
+   ```
+   cargo fmt
+   ```
+   When run through `cargo` it will format all bin and lib files in the current package.
+
+For more information, such as running it from your favourite editor, please see the `rustfmt` project. [rustfmt](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt)
+
+
+#### Finding Issues with Clippy
+
+[Clippy](https://doc.rust-lang.org/clippy/) is a code analyser/linter detecting mistakes, and therefore helps to improve your code.
+Like formatting your code with `rustfmt`, running clippy regularly and before your Pull Request will help us maintain awesome code.
+
+1. To install
+    ```
+    rustup component add clippy
+    ```
+2. Running clippy
+    ```
+    cargo clippy
+    ```
+
+### Change requirements
+
+Please consider the following when making a change:
+
+* Almost all changes that modify the Rust code must be accompanied with a test.
+
+* Almost all features and changes must update the documentation.
+  mdBook has the [mdBook Guide](https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/) whose source is at <https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/tree/master/guide>.
+
+* Almost all Rust items should be documented with doc comments.
+  See the [Rustdoc Book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc/) for more information on writing doc comments.
+
+* Breaking the API can only be done in major SemVer releases.
+  These are done very infrequently, so it is preferred to avoid these when possible.
+  See [SemVer Compatibility](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/semver.html) for more information on what a SemVer breaking change is.
+
+  (Note: At this time, some SemVer breaking changes are inevitable due to the current code structure.
+  An example is adding new fields to the config structures.
+  These are intended to be fixed in the next major release.)
+
+* Similarly, the CLI interface is considered to be stable.
+  Care should be taken to avoid breaking existing workflows.
+
+* Check out the [Rust API Guidelines](https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/) for guidelines on designing the API.
 
 ### Making a pull-request
 
 When you feel comfortable that your changes could be integrated into mdBook, you can create a pull-request on GitHub.
 One of the core maintainers will then approve the changes or request some changes before it gets merged.
 
-If you want to make your pull-request even better, you might want to run [Clippy](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy)
-and [rustfmt](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustfmt) on the code first.
-This is not a requirement though and will never block a pull-request from being merged.
-
 That's it, happy contributions! :tada: :tada: :tada:
+
+## Browser compatibility and testing
+
+Currently we don't have a strict browser compatibility matrix due to our limited resources.
+We generally strive to keep mdBook compatible with a relatively recent browser on all of the most major platforms.
+That is, supporting Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
+If possible, do your best to avoid breaking older browser releases.
+
+Any change to the HTML or styling is encouraged to manually check on as many browsers and platforms that you can.
+Unfortunately at this time we don't have any automated UI or browser testing, so your assistance in testing is appreciated.
+
+## Updating highlight.js
+
+The following are instructions for updating [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org/).
+
+1. Clone the repository at <https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js>
+1. Check out a tagged release (like `10.1.1`).
+1. Run `npm install`
+1. Run `node tools/build.js :common apache armasm coffeescript d handlebars haskell http julia nginx nim nix properties r scala x86asm yaml`
+1. Compare the language list that it spits out to the one in [`syntax-highlighting.md`](https://github.com/camelid/mdBook/blob/master/guide/src/format/theme/syntax-highlighting.md). If any are missing, add them to the list and rebuild (and update these docs). If any are added to the common set, add them to `syntax-highlighting.md`.
+1. Copy `build/highlight.min.js` to mdbook's directory [`highlight.js`](https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/blob/master/src/theme/highlight.js).
+1. Be sure to check the highlight.js [CHANGES](https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/blob/main/CHANGES.md) for any breaking changes. Breaking changes that would affect users will need to wait until the next major release.
+1. Build mdbook with the new file and build some books with the new version and compare the output with a variety of languages to see if anything changes. The [test_book](https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/tree/master/test_book) contains a chapter with many languages to examine.
+
+## Publishing new releases
+
+Instructions for mdBook maintainers to publish a new release:
+
+1. Create a PR to update the version and update the CHANGELOG:
+    1. Update the version in `Cargo.toml`
+    2. Run `cargo test` to verify that everything is passing, and to update `Cargo.lock`.
+    3. Double-check for any SemVer breaking changes.
+       Try [`cargo-semver-checks`](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-semver-checks), though beware that the current version of mdBook isn't properly adhering to SemVer due to the lack of `#[non_exhaustive]` and other issues. See https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/issues/1835.
+    4. Update `CHANGELOG.md` with any changes that users may be interested in.
+    5. Update `continuous-integration.md` to update the version number for the installation instructions.
+    6. Commit the changes, and open a PR.

 mdBook is a utility to create modern online books from Markdown files.
 
+Check out the **[User Guide]** for a list of features and installation and usage information.
+The User Guide also serves as a demonstration to showcase what a book looks like.
 
-## What does it look like?
-
-The [User Guide] for mdBook has been written in Markdown and is using mdBook to
-generate the online book-like website you can read. The documentation uses the
-latest version on GitHub and showcases the available features.
-
-## Installation
-
-There are multiple ways to install mdBook.
-
-1. **Binaries**
-
-   Binaries are available for download [here][releases]. Make sure to put the
-   path to the binary into your `PATH`.
-
-2. **From Crates.io**
-
-   This requires at least [Rust] 1.20 and Cargo to be installed. Once you have installed
-   Rust, type the following in the terminal:
-
-   ```
-   cargo install mdbook
-   ```
-
-   This will download and compile mdBook for you, the only thing left to do is
-   to add the Cargo bin directory to your `PATH`.
-
-   **Note for automatic deployment**
-
-   If you are using a script to do automatic deployments using Travis or
-   another CI server, we recommend that you specify a semver version range for
-   mdBook when you install it through your script!
-
-   This will constrain the server to install the latests **non-breaking**
-   version of mdBook and will prevent your books from failing to build because
-   we released a new version. For example:
-
-   ```
-   cargo install mdbook --vers "^0.1.0"
-   ```
-
-3. **From Git**  
-
-   The version published to crates.io will ever so slightly be behind the
-   version hosted here on GitHub. If you need the latest version you can build
-   the git version of mdBook yourself. Cargo makes this ***super easy***!
-
-   ```
-   cargo install --git https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/mdBook.git mdbook
-   ```
-
-   Again, make sure to add the Cargo bin directory to your `PATH`.
-
-4. **For Contributions**  
-
-   If you want to contribute to mdBook you will have to clone the repository on
-   your local machine:
-
-   ```
-   git clone https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/mdBook.git
-   ```
-
-   `cd` into `mdBook/` and run
-
-   ```
-   cargo build
-   ```
-
-   The resulting binary can be found in `mdBook/target/debug/` under the name
-   `mdBook` or `mdBook.exe`.
-
-
-## Usage
-
-mdBook will primarily be used as a command line tool, even though it exposes
-all its functionality as a Rust crate for integration in other projects.
-
-Here are the main commands you will want to run. For a more exhaustive
-explanation, check out the [User Guide].
-
-- `mdbook init`
-
-    The init command will create a directory with the minimal boilerplate to
-    start with.
-
-    ```
-    book-test/
-    ├── book
-    └── src
-        ├── chapter_1.md
-        └── SUMMARY.md
-    ```
-
-    `book` and `src` are both directories. `src` contains the markdown files
-    that will be used to render the output to the `book` directory.
-
-    Please, take a look at the [CLI docs] for more information and some neat tricks.
-
-- `mdbook build`
-
-    This is the command you will run to render your book, it reads the
-    `SUMMARY.md` file to understand the structure of your book, takes the
-    markdown files in the source directory as input and outputs static html
-    pages that you can upload to a server.
-
-- `mdbook watch`
-
-    When you run this command, mdbook will watch your markdown files to rebuild
-    the book on every change. This avoids having to come back to the terminal
-    to type `mdbook build` over and over again.
-
-- `mdbook serve`
-
-    Does the same thing as `mdbook watch` but additionally serves the book at
-    `http://localhost:3000` (port is changeable) and reloads the browser when a
-    change occurs.
-
-- `mdbook clean`
-
-    Delete directory in which generated book is located.
-
-
-### As a library
-
-Aside from the command line interface, this crate can also be used as a
-library. This means that you could integrate it in an existing project, like a
-web-app for example. Since the command line interface is just a wrapper around
-the library functionality, when you use this crate as a library you have full
-access to all the functionality of the command line interface with an easy to
-use API and more!
-
-See the [User Guide] and the [API docs] for more information.
-
-## Contributions
-
-Contributions are highly appreciated and encouraged! Don't hesitate to
-participate to discussions in the issues, propose new features and ask for
-help.
-
-If you are just starting out with Rust, there are a series of issus that are
-tagged [E-Easy] and **we will gladly mentor you** so that you can successfully
-go through the process of fixing a bug or adding a new feature! Let us know if
-you need any help.
-
-For more info about contributing, check out our [contribution guide] who helps
-you go through the build and contribution process!
-
-There is also a [rendered version][master-docs] of the latest API docs
-available, for those hacking on `master`.

-# mdBook
-
-**mdBook** is a command line tool and Rust crate to create books using Markdown
-files. It's very similar to Gitbook but written in
-[Rust](http://www.rust-lang.org).
-
-What you are reading serves as an example of the output of mdBook and at the
-same time as a high-level documentation.
-
-mdBook is free and open source, you can find the source code on
-[GitHub](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/mdBook). Issues and feature
-requests can be posted on the [GitHub issue
-tracker](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/mdBook/issues).
-
-## API docs
-
-Alongside this book you can also read the [API
-docs](https://docs.rs/mdbook/*/mdbook/) generated by Rustdoc if you would like
-to use mdBook as a crate or write a new renderer and need a more low-level
-overview.

-# Command Line Tool
-
-mdBook can be used either as a command line tool or a [Rust
-crate](https://crates.io/crates/mdbook). Let's focus on the command line tool
-capabilities first.
-
-## Install From Binaries
-
-Precompiled binaries are provided for major platforms on a best-effort basis.
-Visit [the releases page](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/mdBook/releases)
-to download the appropriate version for your platform.
-
-## Install From Source
-
-mdBook can also be installed from source
-
-### Pre-requisite
-
-mdBook is written in **[Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/)** and therefore needs
-to be compiled with **Cargo**. If you haven't already installed Rust, please go
-ahead and [install it](https://www.rust-lang.org/downloads.html) now.
-
-### Install Crates.io version
-
-Installing mdBook is relatively easy if you already have Rust and Cargo
-installed. You just have to type this snippet in your terminal:
-
-```bash
-cargo install mdbook
-```
-
-This will fetch the source code for the latest release from
-[Crates.io](https://crates.io/) and compile it. You will have to add Cargo's
-`bin` directory to your `PATH`.
-
-Run `mdbook help` in your terminal to verify if it works. Congratulations, you
-have installed mdBook!
-
-
-### Install Git version
-
-The **[git version](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/mdBook)** contains all
-the latest bug-fixes and features, that will be released in the next version on
-**Crates.io**, if you can't wait until the next release. You can build the git
-version yourself. Open your terminal and navigate to the directory of you
-choice. We need to clone the git repository and then build it with Cargo.
-
-```bash
-git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/mdBook.git
-cd mdBook
-cargo build --release
-```
-
-The executable `mdbook` will be in the `./target/release` folder, this should be
-added to the path.

@@ -1,49 +0,0 @@
-# The serve command
-
-The serve command is used to preview a book by serving it over HTTP at
-`localhost:3000` by default. Additionally it watches the book's directory for
-changes, rebuilding the book and refreshing clients for each change. A websocket
-connection is used to trigger the client-side refresh.
-
-#### Specify a directory
-
-The `serve` command can take a directory as an argument to use as the book's
-root instead of the current working directory.
-
-```bash
-mdbook serve path/to/book
-```
-
-#### Server options
-
-`serve` has four options: the HTTP port, the WebSocket port, the HTTP hostname
-to listen on, and the hostname for the browser to connect to for WebSockets.
-
-For example: suppose you have an nginx server for SSL termination which has a
-public address of 192.168.1.100 on port 80 and proxied that to 127.0.0.1 on port
-8000\. To run use the nginx proxy do:
-
-```bash
-mdbook serve path/to/book -p 8000 -n 127.0.0.1 --websocket-hostname 192.168.1.100
-```
-
-If you were to want live reloading for this you would need to proxy the
-websocket calls through nginx as well from `192.168.1.100:<WS_PORT>` to
-`127.0.0.1:<WS_PORT>`. The `-w` flag allows for the websocket port to be
-configured.
-
-#### --open
-
-When you use the `--open` (`-o`) flag, mdbook will open the book in your your
-default web browser after starting the server.
-
-#### --dest-dir
-
-The `--dest-dir` (`-d`) option allows you to change the output directory for the
-book. If not specified it will default to the value of the `build.build-dir` key
-in `book.toml`, or to `./book` relative to the book's root directory.
-
------
-
-***Note:*** *The `serve` command is for testing, and is not intended to be a
-complete HTTP server for a website.*

-# The watch command
-
-The `watch` command is useful when you want your book to be rendered on every
-file change. You could repeatedly issue `mdbook build` every time a file is
-changed. But using `mdbook watch` once will watch your files and will trigger a
-build automatically whenever you modify a file.
-
-#### Specify a directory
-
-The `watch` command can take a directory as an argument to use as the book's
-root instead of the current working directory.
-
-```bash
-mdbook watch path/to/book
-```

-# Running `mdbook` in Continuous Integration
-
-While the following examples use Travis CI, their principles should
-straightforwardly transfer to other continuous integration providers as well.
-
-## Ensuring Your Book Builds and Tests Pass
-
-Here is a sample Travis CI `.travis.yml` configuration that ensures `mdbook
-build` and `mdbook test` run successfully. The key to fast CI turnaround times
-is caching `mdbook` installs, so that you aren't compiling `mdbook` on every CI
-run.
-
-```yaml
-language: rust
-sudo: false
-
-cache:
-  - cargo
-
-rust:
-  - stable
-
-before_script:
-  - (test -x $HOME/.cargo/bin/cargo-install-update || cargo install cargo-update)
-  - (test -x $HOME/.cargo/bin/mdbook || cargo install --vers "^0.1" mdbook)
-  - cargo install-update -a
-
-script:
-  - cd path/to/mybook && mdbook build && mdbook test
-```
-
-## Deploying Your Book to GitHub Pages
-
-Following these instructions will result in your book being published to GitHub
-pages after a successful CI run on your repository's `master` branch.
-
-First, create a new GitHub "Personal Access Token" with the "public_repo"
-permissions (or "repo" for private repositories). Go to your repository's Travis
-CI settings page and add an environment variable named `GITHUB_TOKEN` that is
-marked secure and *not* shown in the logs.
-
-Then, append this snippet to your `.travis.yml` and update the path to the
-`book` directory:
-
-```yaml
-deploy:
-  provider: pages
-  skip-cleanup: true
-  github-token: $GITHUB_TOKEN
-  local-dir: path/to/mybook/book
-  keep-history: false
-  on:
-    branch: master
-```
-
-That's it!

-# Preprocessors
-
-A *preprocessor* is simply a bit of code which gets run immediately after the
-book is loaded and before it gets rendered, allowing you to update and mutate
-the book. Possible use cases are:
-
-- Creating custom helpers like `\{{#include /path/to/file.md}}`
-- Updating links so `[some chapter](some_chapter.md)` is automatically changed
-  to `[some chapter](some_chapter.html)` for the HTML renderer
-- Substituting in latex-style expressions (`$$ \frac{1}{3} $$`) with their
-  mathjax equivalents
-
-
-## Implementing a Preprocessor
-
-A preprocessor is represented by the `Preprocessor` trait.
-
-```rust
-pub trait Preprocessor {
-    fn name(&self) -> &str;
-    fn run(&self, ctx: &PreprocessorContext, book: &mut Book) -> Result<()>;
-}
-```
-
-Where the `PreprocessorContext` is defined as
-
-```rust
-pub struct PreprocessorContext {
-    pub root: PathBuf,
-    pub config: Config,
-}
-```
-
-## A complete Example
-
-The magic happens within the `run(...)` method of the
-[`Preprocessor`][preprocessor-docs] trait implementation.
-
-As direct access to the chapters is not possible, you will probably end up
-iterating them using `for_each_mut(...)`:
-
-```rust
-book.for_each_mut(|item: &mut BookItem| {
-    if let BookItem::Chapter(ref mut chapter) = *item {
-      eprintln!("{}: processing chapter '{}'", self.name(), chapter.name);
-      res = Some(
-          match Deemphasize::remove_emphasis(&mut num_removed_items, chapter) {
-              Ok(md) => {
-                  chapter.content = md;
-                  Ok(())
-              }
-              Err(err) => Err(err),
-          },
-      );
-  }
-});
-```
-
-The `chapter.content` is just a markdown formatted string, and you will have to
-process it in some way. Even though it's entirely possible to implement some
-sort of manual find & replace operation, if that feels too unsafe you can use
-[`pulldown-cmark`][pc] to parse the string into events and work on them instead.
-
-Finally you can use [`pulldown-cmark-to-cmark`][pctc] to transform these events
-back to a string.
-
-The following code block shows how to remove all emphasis from markdown, and do
-so safely.
-
-```rust
-fn remove_emphasis(num_removed_items: &mut i32, chapter: &mut Chapter) -> Result<String> {
-    let mut buf = String::with_capacity(chapter.content.len());
-    let events = Parser::new(&chapter.content).filter(|e| {
-        let should_keep = match *e {
-            Event::Start(Tag::Emphasis)
-            | Event::Start(Tag::Strong)
-            | Event::End(Tag::Emphasis)
-            | Event::End(Tag::Strong) => false,
-            _ => true,
-        };
-        if !should_keep {
-            *num_removed_items += 1;
-        }
-        should_keep
-    });
-    cmark(events, &mut buf, None)
-        .map(|_| buf)
-        .map_err(|err| Error::from(format!("Markdown serialization failed: {}", err)))
-}
-```

-# Configuration
-
-You can configure the parameters for your book in the ***book.toml*** file.
-
-Here is an example of what a ***book.toml*** file might look like:
-
-```toml
-[book]
-title = "Example book"
-author = "John Doe"
-description = "The example book covers examples."
-
-[build]
-build-dir = "my-example-book"
-create-missing = false
-
-[output.html]
-additional-css = ["custom.css"]
-
-[output.html.search]
-limit-results = 15
-```
-
-## Supported configuration options
-
-It is important to note that **any** relative path specified in the in the
-configuration will always be taken relative from the root of the book where the
-configuration file is located.
-
-
-### General metadata
-
-This is general information about your book.
-
-- **title:** The title of the book
-- **authors:** The author(s) of the book
-- **description:** A description for the book, which is added as meta
-  information in the html `<head>` of each page
-- **src:** By default, the source directory is found in the directory named
-  `src` directly under the root folder. But this is configurable with the `src`
-  key in the configuration file.
-
-**book.toml**
-```toml
-[book]
-title = "Example book"
-authors = ["John Doe", "Jane Doe"]
-description = "The example book covers examples."
-src = "my-src"  # the source files will be found in `root/my-src` instead of `root/src`
-```
-
-### Build options
-
-This controls the build process of your book.
-
-- **build-dir:** The directory to put the rendered book in. By default this is
-  `book/` in the book's root directory.
-- **create-missing:** By default, any missing files specified in `SUMMARY.md`
-  will be created when the book is built (i.e. `create-missing = true`). If this
-  is `false` then the build process will instead exit with an error if any files
-  do not exist.
-- **preprocess:** Specify which preprocessors to be applied. Default is
-  `["links", "index"]`. To disable default preprocessors, pass an empty array
-  `[]` in.
-
-
-The following preprocessors are available and included by default:
-
-- `links`: Expand the `{{# playpen}}` and `{{# include}}` handlebars helpers in
-  a chapter.
-- `index`: Convert all chapter files named `README.md` into `index.md`. That is
-  to say, all `README.md` would be rendered to an index file `index.html` in the
-  rendered book.
-
-
-**book.toml**
-```toml
-[build]
-build-dir = "build"
-create-missing = false
-preprocess = ["links", "index"]
-```
-
-### HTML renderer options
-The HTML renderer has a couple of options as well. All the options for the
-renderer need to be specified under the TOML table `[output.html]`.
-
-The following configuration options are available:
-
-- **theme:** mdBook comes with a default theme and all the resource files needed
-  for it. But if this option is set, mdBook will selectively overwrite the theme
-  files with the ones found in the specified folder.
-- **curly-quotes:** Convert straight quotes to curly quotes, except for those
-  that occur in code blocks and code spans. Defaults to `false`.
-- **google-analytics:** If you use Google Analytics, this option lets you enable
-  it by simply specifying your ID in the configuration file.
-- **additional-css:** If you need to slightly change the appearance of your book
-  without overwriting the whole style, you can specify a set of stylesheets that
-  will be loaded after the default ones where you can surgically change the
-  style.
-- **additional-js:** If you need to add some behaviour to your book without
-  removing the current behaviour, you can specify a set of JavaScript files that
-  will be loaded alongside the default one.
-- **no-section-label:** mdBook by defaults adds section label in table of
-  contents column. For example, "1.", "2.1". Set this option to true to disable
-  those labels. Defaults to `false`.
-- **playpen:** A subtable for configuring various playpen settings.
-- **search:** A subtable for configuring the in-browser search functionality.
-  mdBook must be compiled with the `search` feature enabled (on by default).
-
-Available configuration options for the `[output.html.playpen]` table:
-
-- **editable:** Allow editing the source code. Defaults to `false`.
-- **copy-js:** Copy JavaScript files for the editor to the output directory.
-  Defaults to `true`.
-
-[Ace]: https://ace.c9.io/
-
-Available configuration options for the `[output.html.search]` table:
-
-- **enable:** Enables the search feature. Defaults to `true`.
-- **limit-results:** The maximum number of search results. Defaults to `30`.
-- **teaser-word-count:** The number of words used for a search result teaser.
-  Defaults to `30`.
-- **use-boolean-and:** Define the logical link between multiple search words. If
-  true, all search words must appear in each result. Defaults to `true`.
-- **boost-title:** Boost factor for the search result score if a search word
-  appears in the header. Defaults to `2`.
-- **boost-hierarchy:** Boost factor for the search result score if a search word
-  appears in the hierarchy. The hierarchy contains all titles of the parent
-  documents and all parent headings. Defaults to `1`.
-- **boost-paragraph:** Boost factor for the search result score if a search word
-  appears in the text. Defaults to `1`.
-- **expand:** True if search should match longer results e.g. search `micro`
-  should match `microwave`. Defaults to `true`.
-- **heading-split-level:** Search results will link to a section of the document
-  which contains the result. Documents are split into sections by headings this
-  level or less. Defaults to `3`. (`### This is a level 3 heading`)
-- **copy-js:** Copy JavaScript files for the search implementation to the output
-  directory. Defaults to `true`.
-
-This shows all available options in the **book.toml**:
-```toml
-[book]
-title = "Example book"
-authors = ["John Doe", "Jane Doe"]
-description = "The example book covers examples."
-
-[build]
-build-dir = "book"
-create-missing = true
-preprocess = ["links", "index"]
-
-[output.html]
-theme = "my-theme"
-curly-quotes = true
-google-analytics = "123456"
-additional-css = ["custom.css", "custom2.css"]
-additional-js = ["custom.js"]
-
-[output.html.playpen]
-editor = "./path/to/editor"
-editable = false
-
-[output.html.search]
-enable = true
-searcher = "./path/to/searcher"
-limit-results = 30
-teaser-word-count = 30
-use-boolean-and = true
-boost-title = 2
-boost-hierarchy = 1
-boost-paragraph = 1
-expand = true
-heading-split-level = 3
-copy-js = true
-```
-
-
-## Environment Variables
-
-All configuration values can be overridden from the command line by setting the
-corresponding environment variable. Because many operating systems restrict
-environment variables to be alphanumeric characters or `_`, the configuration
-key needs to be formatted slightly differently to the normal `foo.bar.baz` form.
-
-Variables starting with `MDBOOK_` are used for configuration. The key is created
-by removing the `MDBOOK_` prefix and turning the resulting string into
-`kebab-case`. Double underscores (`__`) separate nested keys, while a single
-underscore (`_`) is replaced with a dash (`-`).
-
-For example:
-
-- `MDBOOK_foo` -> `foo`
-- `MDBOOK_FOO` -> `foo`
-- `MDBOOK_FOO__BAR` -> `foo.bar`
-- `MDBOOK_FOO_BAR` -> `foo-bar`
-- `MDBOOK_FOO_bar__baz` -> `foo-bar.baz`
-
-So by setting the `MDBOOK_BOOK__TITLE` environment variable you can override the
-book's title without needing to touch your `book.toml`.
-
-> **Note:** To facilitate setting more complex config items, the value of an
-> environment variable is first parsed as JSON, falling back to a string if the
-> parse fails.
->
-> This means, if you so desired, you could override all book metadata when
-> building the book with something like
->
-> ```text
-> $ export MDBOOK_BOOK="{'title': 'My Awesome Book', authors: ['Michael-F-Bryan']}"
-> $ mdbook build
-> ```
-
-The latter case may be useful in situations where `mdbook` is invoked from a
-script or CI, where it sometimes isn't possible to update the `book.toml` before
-building.

-## Hiding code lines
-
-There is a feature in mdBook that lets you hide code lines by prepending them
-with a `#`.
-
-```bash
-# fn main() {
-    let x = 5;
-    let y = 6;
-
-    println!("{}", x + y);

-# }
-```
-
-## Including files
-
-With the following syntax, you can include files into your book:
-
-```hbs
-\{{#include file.rs}}
-```
-
-The path to the file has to be relative from the current source file.
-
-Usually, this command is used for including code snippets and examples. In this
-case, oftens one would include a specific part of the file e.g. which only
-contains the relevant lines for the example. We support four different modes of
-partial includes:
-
-```hbs
-\{{#include file.rs:2}}
-\{{#include file.rs::10}}
-\{{#include file.rs:2:}}
-\{{#include file.rs:2:10}}
-```
-
-The first command only includes the second line from file `file.rs`. The second
-command includes all lines up to line 10, i.e. the lines from 11 till the end of
-the file are omitted. The third command includes all lines from line 2, i.e. the
-first line is omitted. The last command includes the excerpt of `file.rs`
-consisting of lines 2 to 10.
-
-## Inserting runnable Rust files
-
-With the following syntax, you can insert runnable Rust files into your book:
-
-```hbs
-\{{#playpen file.rs}}
-```
-
-The path to the Rust file has to be relative from the current source file.
-
-When play is clicked, the code snippet will be sent to the [Rust Playpen] to be
-compiled and run. The result is sent back and displayed directly underneath the
-code.
-
-Here is what a rendered code snippet looks like:
-
-{{#playpen example.rs}}

-# SUMMARY.md
-
-The summary file is used by mdBook to know what chapters to include, in what
-order they should appear, what their hierarchy is and where the source files
-are. Without this file, there is no book.
-
-Even though `SUMMARY.md` is a markdown file, the formatting is very strict to
-allow for easy parsing. Let's see how you should format your `SUMMARY.md` file.
-
-#### Allowed elements
-
-1. ***Title*** It's common practice to begin with a title, generally <code
-   class="language-markdown"># Summary</code>. But it is not mandatory, the
-   parser just ignores it. So you can too if you feel like it.
-
-2. ***Prefix Chapter*** Before the main numbered chapters you can add a couple
-   of elements that will not be numbered. This is useful for forewords,
-   introductions, etc. There are however some constraints. You can not nest
-   prefix chapters, they should all be on the root level. And you can not add
-   prefix chapters once you have added numbered chapters.
-   ```markdown
-   [Title of prefix element](relative/path/to/markdown.md)
-   ```
-
-3. ***Numbered Chapter*** Numbered chapters are the main content of the book,
-   they will be numbered and can be nested, resulting in a nice hierarchy
-   (chapters, sub-chapters, etc.)
-   ```markdown
-   - [Title of the Chapter](relative/path/to/markdown.md)
-   ```
-   You can either use `-` or `*` to indicate a numbered chapter.
-
-4. ***Suffix Chapter*** After the numbered chapters you can add a couple of
-   non-numbered chapters. They are the same as prefix chapters but come after
-   the numbered chapters instead of before.
-
-All other elements are unsupported and will be ignored at best or result in an
-error.

-# Theme
-
-The default renderer uses a [handlebars](http://handlebarsjs.com/) template to
-render your markdown files and comes with a default theme included in the mdBook
-binary.
-
-The theme is totally customizable, you can selectively replace every file from
-the theme by your own by adding a `theme` directory next to `src` folder in your
-project root. Create a new file with the name of the file you want to override
-and now that file will be used instead of the default file.
-
-Here are the files you can override:
-
-- ***index.hbs*** is the handlebars template.
-- ***book.css*** is the style used in the output. If you want to change the
-  design of your book, this is probably the file you want to modify. Sometimes
-  in conjunction with `index.hbs` when you want to radically change the layout.
-- ***book.js*** is mostly used to add client side functionality, like hiding /
-  un-hiding the sidebar, changing the theme, ...
-- ***highlight.js*** is the JavaScript that is used to highlight code snippets,
-  you should not need to modify this.  
-- ***highlight.css*** is the theme used for the code highlighting
-- ***favicon.png*** the favicon that will be used
-
-Generally, when you want to tweak the theme, you don't need to override all the
-files. If you only need changes in the stylesheet, there is no point in
-overriding all the other files. Because custom files take precedence over
-built-in ones, they will not get updated with new fixes / features.
-
-**Note:** When you override a file, it is possible that you break some
-functionality. Therefore I recommend to use the file from the default theme as
-template and only add / modify what you need. You can copy the default theme
-into your source directory automatically by using `mdbook init --theme` just
-remove the files you don't want to override.

book-example/src/format/theme/index-hbs.md

@@ -1,97 +0,0 @@
-# index.hbs
-
-`index.hbs` is the handlebars template that is used to render the book. The
-markdown files are processed to html and then injected in that template.
-
-If you want to change the layout or style of your book, chances are that you
-will have to modify this template a little bit. Here is what you need to know.
-
-## Data
-
-A lot of data is exposed to the handlebars template with the "context". In the
-handlebars template you can access this information by using
-
-```handlebars
-{{name_of_property}}
-```
-
-Here is a list of the properties that are exposed:
-
-- ***language*** Language of the book in the form `en`. To use in <code
-  class="language-html">\<html lang="{{ language }}"></code> for example. At the
-  moment it is hardcoded.
-- ***title*** Title of the book, as specified in `book.toml`
-- ***chapter_title*** Title of the current chapter, as listed in `SUMMARY.md`
-
-- ***path*** Relative path to the original markdown file from the source
-  directory
-- ***content*** This is the rendered markdown.
-- ***path_to_root*** This is a path containing exclusively `../`'s that points
-  to the root of the book from the current file. Since the original directory
-  structure is maintained, it is useful to prepend relative links with this
-  `path_to_root`.
-
-- ***chapters*** Is an array of dictionaries of the form
-  ```json
-  {"section": "1.2.1", "name": "name of this chapter", "path": "dir/markdown.md"}
-  ```
-  containing all the chapters of the book. It is used for example to construct
-  the table of contents (sidebar).
-
-## Handlebars Helpers
-
-In addition to the properties you can access, there are some handlebars helpers
-at your disposal.
-
-### 1. toc
-
-    The toc helper is used like this
-
-    ```handlebars
-    {{#toc}}{{/toc}}
-    ```
-
-    and outputs something that looks like this, depending on the structure of your book
-
-    ```html
-    <ul class="chapter">
-        <li><a href="link/to/file.html">Some chapter</a></li>
-        <li>
-            <ul class="section">
-                <li><a href="link/to/other_file.html">Some other Chapter</a></li>
-            </ul>
-        </li>
-    </ul>
-    ```
-
-    If you would like to make a toc with another structure, you have access to the chapters property containing all the data.
-    The only limitation at the moment is that you would have to do it with JavaScript instead of with a handlebars helper.
-
-    ```html
-    <script>
-    var chapters = {{chapters}};
-    // Processing here
-    </script>
-    ```
-
-### 2. previous / next
-
-    The previous and next helpers expose a `link` and `name` property to the previous and next chapters.
-
-    They are used like this
-
-    ```handlebars
-    {{#previous}}
-        <a href="{{link}}" class="nav-chapters previous">
-            <i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i>
-        </a>
-    {{/previous}}
-    ```
-
-    The inner html will only be rendered if the previous / next chapter exists.
-    Of course the inner html can be changed to your liking.

-# Syntax Highlighting
-
-For syntax highlighting I use [Highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org) with a
-custom theme.
-
-Automatic language detection has been turned off, so you will probably want to
-specify the programming language you use like this
-
-<pre><code class="language-markdown">```rust
-fn main() {
-    // Some code
-}
-```</code></pre>
-
-## Custom theme
-Like the rest of the theme, the files used for syntax highlighting can be
-overridden with your own.
-
-- ***highlight.js*** normally you shouldn't have to overwrite this file, unless
-  you want to use a more recent version.
-- ***highlight.css*** theme used by highlight.js for syntax highlighting.
-
-If you want to use another theme for `highlight.js` download it from their
-website, or make it yourself, rename it to `highlight.css` and put it in
-`src/theme` (or the equivalent if you changed your source folder)
-
-Now your theme will be used instead of the default theme.
-
-## Hiding code lines
-
-There is a feature in mdBook that lets you hide code lines by prepending them
-with a `#`.
-
-
-```bash
-# fn main() {
-    let x = 5;
-    let y = 6;
-
-    println!("{}", x + y);
-# }
-```
-
-Will render as
-
-```rust
-# fn main() {
-    let x = 5;
-    let y = 7;
-
-    println!("{}", x + y);
-# }
-```
-
-**At the moment, this only works for code examples that are annotated with
-`rust`. Because it would collide with semantics of some programming languages.
-In the future, we want to make this configurable through the `book.toml` so that
-everyone can benefit from it.**
-
-
-## Improve default theme
-
-If you think the default theme doesn't look quite right for a specific language,
-or could be improved. Feel free to [submit a new
-issue](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/mdBook/issues) explaining what you
-have in mind and I will take a look at it.
-
-You could also create a pull-request with the proposed improvements.
-
-Overall the theme should be light and sober, without to many flashy colors.

+# Introduction
+
+**mdBook** is a command line tool to create books with Markdown.
+It is ideal for creating product or API documentation, tutorials, course materials or anything that requires a clean,
+easily navigable and customizable presentation.
+
+* Lightweight [Markdown] syntax helps you focus more on your content
+* Integrated [search] support
+* Color [syntax highlighting] for code blocks for many different languages
+* [Theme] files allow customizing the formatting of the output
+* [Preprocessors] can provide extensions for custom syntax and modifying content
+* [Backends] can render the output to multiple formats
+* Written in [Rust] for speed, safety, and simplicity
+* Automated testing of [Rust code samples]
+
+This guide is an example of what mdBook produces.
+mdBook is used by the Rust programming language project, and [The Rust Programming Language][trpl] book is another fine example of mdBook in action.

+# Command Line Tool
+
+The `mdbook` command-line tool is used to create and build books.
+After you have [installed](../guide/installation.md) `mdbook`, you can run the `mdbook help` command in your terminal to view the available commands.
+
+This following sections provide in-depth information on the different commands available.
+
+* [`mdbook init <directory>`](init.md) --- Creates a new book with minimal boilerplate to start with.
+* [`mdbook build`](build.md) --- Renders the book.
+* [`mdbook watch`](watch.md) --- Rebuilds the book any time a source file changes.
+* [`mdbook serve`](serve.md) --- Runs a web server to view the book, and rebuilds on changes.
+* [`mdbook test`](test.md) --- Tests Rust code samples.
+* [`mdbook clean`](clean.md) --- Deletes the rendered output.
+* [`mdbook completions`](completions.md) --- Support for shell auto-completion.

+There are different backends used to determine when a file has changed.

+The completions command is used to generate auto-completions for some common shells.
+This means when you type `mdbook` in your shell, you can then press your shell's auto-complete key (usually the Tab key) and it may display what the valid options are, or finish partial input.
+
+The completions first need to be installed for your shell:

+# oh-my-zsh
+mdbook completions zsh > ~/.oh-my-zsh/completions/_mdbook

+
+The command prints a completion script for the given shell.
+Run `mdbook completions --help` for a list of supported shells.
+
+Where to place the completions depend on which shell you are using and your operating system.

+# Running `mdbook` in Continuous Integration
+
+There are a variety of services such as [GitHub Actions] or [GitLab CI/CD] which can be used to test and deploy your book automatically.
+
+The following provides some general guidelines on how to configure your service to run mdBook.
+Specific recipes can be found at the [Automated Deployment] wiki page.
+
+[GitHub Actions]: https://docs.github.com/en/actions
+[GitLab CI/CD]: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/
+[Automated Deployment]: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/wiki/Automated-Deployment
+
+## Installing mdBook
+
+There are several different strategies for installing mdBook.
+The particular method depends on your needs and preferences.
+
+### Pre-compiled binaries
+
+Perhaps the easiest method is to use the pre-compiled binaries found on the [GitHub Releases page][releases].
+A simple approach would be to use the popular `curl` CLI tool to download the executable:
+
+```sh
+mkdir bin
+curl -sSL https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/releases/download/v0.4.39/mdbook-v0.4.39-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz | tar -xz --directory=bin
+bin/mdbook build
+```
+
+Some considerations for this approach:
+
+* This is relatively fast, and does not necessarily require dealing with caching.
+* This does not require installing Rust.
+* Specifying a specific URL means you have to manually update your script to get a new version.
+  This may be a benefit if you want to lock to a specific version.
+  However, some users prefer to automatically get a newer version when they are published.
+* You are reliant on the GitHub CDN being available.
+
+[releases]: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/releases
+
+### Building from source
+
+Building from source will require having Rust installed.
+Some services have Rust pre-installed, but if your service does not, you will need to add a step to install it.
+
+After Rust is installed, `cargo install` can be used to build and install mdBook.
+We recommend using a SemVer version specifier so that you get the latest **non-breaking** version of mdBook.
+For example:
+
+```sh
+cargo install mdbook --no-default-features --features search --vers "^0.4" --locked
+```
+
+This includes several recommended options:
+
+* `--no-default-features` --- Disables features like the HTTP server used by `mdbook serve` that is likely not needed on CI.
+  This will speed up the build time significantly.
+* `--features search` --- Disabling default features means you should then manually enable features that you want, such as the built-in [search] capability.
+* `--vers "^0.4"` --- This will install the most recent version of the `0.4` series.
+  However, versions after like `0.5.0` won't be installed, as they may break your build.
+  Cargo will automatically upgrade mdBook if you have an older version already installed.
+* `--locked` --- This will use the dependencies that were used when mdBook was released.
+  Without `--locked`, it will use the latest version of all dependencies, which may include some fixes since the last release, but may also (rarely) cause build problems.
+
+You will likely want to investigate caching options, as building mdBook can be somewhat slow.
+
+[search]: guide/reading.md#search
+
+## Running tests
+
+You may want to run tests using [`mdbook test`] every time you push a change or create a pull request.
+This can be used to validate Rust code examples in the book.
+
+This will require having Rust installed.
+Some services have Rust pre-installed, but if your service does not, you will need to add a step to install it.
+
+Other than making sure the appropriate version of Rust is installed, there's not much more than just running `mdbook test` from the book directory.
+
+You may also want to consider running other kinds of tests, like [mdbook-linkcheck] which will check for broken links.
+Or if you have your own style checks, spell checker, or any other tests it might be good to run them in CI.
+
+[`mdbook test`]: cli/test.md
+[mdbook-linkcheck]: https://github.com/Michael-F-Bryan/mdbook-linkcheck#continuous-integration
+
+## Deploying
+
+You may want to automatically deploy your book.
+Some may want to do this every time a change is pushed, and others may want to only deploy when a specific release is tagged.
+
+You'll also need to understand the specifics on how to push a change to your web service.
+For example, [GitHub Pages] just requires committing the output onto a specific git branch.
+Other services may require using something like SSH to connect to a remote server.
+
+The basic outline is that you need to run `mdbook build` to generate the output, and then transfer the files (which are in the `book` directory) to the correct location.
+
+You may then want to consider if you need to invalidate any caches on your web service.
+
+See the [Automated Deployment] wiki page for examples of various different services.
+
+[GitHub Pages]: https://docs.github.com/en/pages
+
+### 404 handling
+
+mdBook automatically generates a 404 page to be used for broken links.
+The default output is a file named `404.html` at the root of the book.
+Some services like [GitHub Pages] will automatically use this page for broken links.
+For other services, you may want to consider configuring the web server to use this page as it will provide the reader navigation to get back to the book.
+
+If your book is not deployed at the root of the domain, then you should set the [`output.html.site-url`] setting so that the 404 page works correctly.
+It needs to know where the book is deployed in order to load the static files (like CSS) correctly.
+For example, this guide is deployed at <https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/>, and the `site-url` setting is configured like this:
+
+```toml
+# book.toml
+[output.html]
+site-url = "/mdBook/"
+```
+
+You can customize the look of the 404 page by creating a file named `src/404.md` in your book.
+If you want to use a different filename, you can set [`output.html.input-404`] to a different filename.

+# Preprocessors
+
+A *preprocessor* is simply a bit of code which gets run immediately after the
+book is loaded and before it gets rendered, allowing you to update and mutate
+the book. Possible use cases are:
+
+- Creating custom helpers like `\{{#include /path/to/file.md}}`
+- Substituting in latex-style expressions (`$$ \frac{1}{3} $$`) with their
+  mathjax equivalents
+
+See [Configuring Preprocessors](../format/configuration/preprocessors.md) for more information about using preprocessors.
+
+## Hooking Into MDBook
+
+MDBook uses a fairly simple mechanism for discovering third party plugins.
+A new table is added to `book.toml` (e.g. `[preprocessor.foo]` for the `foo`
+preprocessor) and then `mdbook` will try to invoke the `mdbook-foo` program as
+part of the build process.
+
+Once the preprocessor has been defined and the build process starts, mdBook executes the command defined in the `preprocessor.foo.command` key twice.
+The first time it runs the preprocessor to determine if it supports the given renderer.
+mdBook passes two arguments to the process: the first argument is the string `supports` and the second argument is the renderer name.
+The preprocessor should exit with a status code 0 if it supports the given renderer, or return a non-zero exit code if it does not.
+
+If the preprocessor supports the renderer, then mdbook runs it a second time, passing JSON data into stdin.
+The JSON consists of an array of `[context, book]` where `context` is the serialized object [`PreprocessorContext`] and `book` is a [`Book`] object containing the content of the book.
+
+The preprocessor should return the JSON format of the [`Book`] object to stdout, with any modifications it wishes to perform.
+
+The easiest way to get started is by creating your own implementation of the
+`Preprocessor` trait (e.g. in `lib.rs`) and then creating a shell binary which
+translates inputs to the correct `Preprocessor` method. For convenience, there
+is [an example no-op preprocessor] in the `examples/` directory which can easily
+be adapted for other preprocessors.
+
+<details>
+<summary>Example no-op preprocessor</summary>
+
+```rust
+// nop-preprocessors.rs
+
+{{#include ../../../examples/nop-preprocessor.rs}}
+```
+</details>
+
+## Hints For Implementing A Preprocessor
+
+By pulling in `mdbook` as a library, preprocessors can have access to the
+existing infrastructure for dealing with books.
+
+For example, a custom preprocessor could use the
+[`CmdPreprocessor::parse_input()`] function to deserialize the JSON written to
+`stdin`. Then each chapter of the `Book` can be mutated in-place via
+[`Book::for_each_mut()`], and then written to `stdout` with the `serde_json`
+crate.
+
+Chapters can be accessed either directly (by recursively iterating over
+chapters) or via the `Book::for_each_mut()` convenience method.
+
+The `chapter.content` is just a string which happens to be markdown. While it's
+entirely possible to use regular expressions or do a manual find & replace,
+you'll probably want to process the input into something more computer-friendly.
+The [`pulldown-cmark`][pc] crate implements a production-quality event-based
+Markdown parser, with the [`pulldown-cmark-to-cmark`][pctc] crate allowing you to
+translate events back into markdown text.
+
+The following code block shows how to remove all emphasis from markdown,
+without accidentally breaking the document.
+
+```rust
+fn remove_emphasis(
+    num_removed_items: &mut usize,
+    chapter: &mut Chapter,
+) -> Result<String> {
+    let mut buf = String::with_capacity(chapter.content.len());
+
+    let events = Parser::new(&chapter.content).filter(|e| {
+        let should_keep = match *e {
+            Event::Start(Tag::Emphasis)
+            | Event::Start(Tag::Strong)
+            | Event::End(Tag::Emphasis)
+            | Event::End(Tag::Strong) => false,
+            _ => true,
+        };
+        if !should_keep {
+            *num_removed_items += 1;
+        }
+        should_keep
+    });
+
+    cmark(events, &mut buf, None).map(|_| buf).map_err(|err| {
+        Error::from(format!("Markdown serialization failed: {}", err))
+    })
+}
+```
+
+For everything else, have a look [at the complete example][example].
+
+## Implementing a preprocessor with a different language
+
+The fact that mdBook utilizes stdin and stdout to communicate with the preprocessors makes it easy to implement them in a language other than Rust.
+The following code shows how to implement a simple preprocessor in Python, which will modify the content of the first chapter.
+The example below follows the configuration shown above with `preprocessor.foo.command` actually pointing to a Python script.
+
+```python
+import json
+import sys
+
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    if len(sys.argv) > 1: # we check if we received any argument
+        if sys.argv[1] == "supports": 
+            # then we are good to return an exit status code of 0, since the other argument will just be the renderer's name
+            sys.exit(0)
+
+    # load both the context and the book representations from stdin
+    context, book = json.load(sys.stdin)
+    # and now, we can just modify the content of the first chapter
+    book['sections'][0]['Chapter']['content'] = '# Hello'
+    # we are done with the book's modification, we can just print it to stdout, 
+    print(json.dumps(book))
+```

+# Environment Variables
+
+All configuration values can be overridden from the command line by setting the
+corresponding environment variable. Because many operating systems restrict
+environment variables to be alphanumeric characters or `_`, the configuration
+key needs to be formatted slightly differently to the normal `foo.bar.baz` form.
+
+Variables starting with `MDBOOK_` are used for configuration. The key is created
+by removing the `MDBOOK_` prefix and turning the resulting string into
+`kebab-case`. Double underscores (`__`) separate nested keys, while a single
+underscore (`_`) is replaced with a dash (`-`).
+
+For example:
+
+- `MDBOOK_foo` -> `foo`
+- `MDBOOK_FOO` -> `foo`
+- `MDBOOK_FOO__BAR` -> `foo.bar`
+- `MDBOOK_FOO_BAR` -> `foo-bar`
+- `MDBOOK_FOO_bar__baz` -> `foo-bar.baz`
+
+So by setting the `MDBOOK_BOOK__TITLE` environment variable you can override the
+book's title without needing to touch your `book.toml`.
+
+> **Note:** To facilitate setting more complex config items, the value of an
+> environment variable is first parsed as JSON, falling back to a string if the
+> parse fails.
+>
+> This means, if you so desired, you could override all book metadata when
+> building the book with something like
+>
+> ```shell
+> $ export MDBOOK_BOOK='{"title": "My Awesome Book", "authors": ["Michael-F-Bryan"]}'
+> $ mdbook build
+> ```
+
+The latter case may be useful in situations where `mdbook` is invoked from a
+script or CI, where it sometimes isn't possible to update the `book.toml` before
+building.

+Here is an example of what a ***book.toml*** file might look like:
+
+```toml
+[book]
+title = "Example book"
+authors = ["John Doe"]
+description = "The example book covers examples."

+[output.html]
+additional-css = ["custom.css"]
+
+[output.html.search]
+limit-results = 15
+```
+
+## Supported configuration options
+
+It is important to note that **any** relative path specified in the
+configuration will always be taken relative from the root of the book where the
+configuration file is located.
+
+### General metadata
+
+This is general information about your book.
+
+- **title:** The title of the book
+- **authors:** The author(s) of the book
+- **description:** A description for the book, which is added as meta
+  information in the html `<head>` of each page
+- **src:** By default, the source directory is found in the directory named
+  `src` directly under the root folder. But this is configurable with the `src`
+  key in the configuration file.
+- **language:** The main language of the book, which is used as a language attribute `<html lang="en">` for example.
+  This is also used to derive the direction of text (RTL, LTR) within the book.
+- **text-direction**: The direction of text in the book: Left-to-right (LTR) or Right-to-left (RTL). Possible values: `ltr`, `rtl`.
+  When not specified, the text direction is derived from the book's `language` attribute.
+
+**book.toml**
+```toml
+[book]
+title = "Example book"
+authors = ["John Doe", "Jane Doe"]
+description = "The example book covers examples."
+src = "my-src"  # the source files will be found in `root/my-src` instead of `root/src`
+language = "en"
+text-direction = "ltr"
+```
+
+### Rust options
+
+Options for the Rust language, relevant to running tests and playground
+integration.
+
+```toml
+[rust]
+edition = "2015"   # the default edition for code blocks
+```
+
+- **edition**: Rust edition to use by default for the code snippets. Default
+  is `"2015"`. Individual code blocks can be controlled with the `edition2015`,
+  `edition2018` or `edition2021` annotations, such as:
+
+  ~~~text
+  ```rust,edition2015
+  // This only works in 2015.
+  let try = true;
+  ```
+  ~~~
+
+### Build options
+
+This controls the build process of your book.
+
+```toml
+[build]
+build-dir = "book"                # the directory where the output is placed
+create-missing = true             # whether or not to create missing pages
+use-default-preprocessors = true  # use the default preprocessors
+extra-watch-dirs = []             # directories to watch for triggering builds
+```
+
+- **build-dir:** The directory to put the rendered book in. By default this is
+  `book/` in the book's root directory.
+  This can overridden with the `--dest-dir` CLI option.
+- **create-missing:** By default, any missing files specified in `SUMMARY.md`
+  will be created when the book is built (i.e. `create-missing = true`). If this
+  is `false` then the build process will instead exit with an error if any files
+  do not exist.
+- **use-default-preprocessors:** Disable the default preprocessors (of `links` &
+  `index`) by setting this option to `false`.
+
+  If you have the same, and/or other preprocessors declared via their table
+  of configuration, they will run instead.
+
+  - For clarity, with no preprocessor configuration, the default `links` and
+    `index` will run.
+  - Setting `use-default-preprocessors = false` will disable these
+    default preprocessors from running.
+  - Adding `[preprocessor.links]`, for example, will ensure, regardless of
+    `use-default-preprocessors` that `links` it will run.
+- **extra-watch-dirs**: A list of paths to directories that will be watched in
+  the `watch` and `serve` commands. Changes to files under these directories will
+  trigger rebuilds. Useful if your book depends on files outside its `src` directory.

+# Configuring Preprocessors
+
+Preprocessors are extensions that can modify the raw Markdown source before it gets sent to the renderer.
+
+The following preprocessors are built-in and included by default:
+
+- `links`: Expands the `{{ #playground }}`, `{{ #include }}`, and `{{ #rustdoc_include }}` handlebars
+  helpers in a chapter to include the contents of a file.
+  See [Including files] for more.
+- `index`: Convert all chapter files named `README.md` into `index.md`. That is
+  to say, all `README.md` would be rendered to an index file `index.html` in the
+  rendered book.
+
+The built-in preprocessors can be disabled with the [`build.use-default-preprocessors`] config option.
+
+The community has developed several preprocessors.
+See the [Third Party Plugins] wiki page for a list of available preprocessors.
+
+For information on how to create a new preprocessor, see the [Preprocessors for Developers] chapter.
+
+[Including files]: ../mdbook.md#including-files
+[`build.use-default-preprocessors`]: general.md#build-options
+[Third Party Plugins]: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/wiki/Third-party-plugins
+[Preprocessors for Developers]: ../../for_developers/preprocessors.md
+
+## Custom Preprocessor Configuration
+
+Preprocessors can be added by including a `preprocessor` table in `book.toml` with the name of the preprocessor.
+For example, if you have a preprocessor called `mdbook-example`, then you can include it with:
+
+```toml
+[preprocessor.example]
+```
+
+With this table, mdBook will execute the `mdbook-example` preprocessor.
+
+This table can include additional key-value pairs that are specific to the preprocessor.
+For example, if our example preprocessor needed some extra configuration options:
+
+```toml
+[preprocessor.example]
+some-extra-feature = true
+```
+
+## Locking a Preprocessor dependency to a renderer
+
+You can explicitly specify that a preprocessor should run for a renderer by
+binding the two together.
+
+```toml
+[preprocessor.example]
+renderers = ["html"]  # example preprocessor only runs with the HTML renderer
+```
+
+## Provide Your Own Command
+
+By default when you add a `[preprocessor.foo]` table to your `book.toml` file,
+`mdbook` will try to invoke the `mdbook-foo` executable. If you want to use a
+different program name or pass in command-line arguments, this behaviour can
+be overridden by adding a `command` field.
+
+```toml
+[preprocessor.random]
+command = "python random.py"
+```
+
+## Require A Certain Order
+
+The order in which preprocessors are run can be controlled with the `before` and `after` fields.
+For example, suppose you want your `linenos` preprocessor to process lines that may have been `{{#include}}`d; then you want it to run after the built-in `links` preprocessor, which you can require using either the `before` or `after` field:
+
+```toml
+[preprocessor.linenos]
+after = [ "links" ]
+```
+
+or
+
+```toml
+[preprocessor.links]
+before = [ "linenos" ]
+```
+
+It would also be possible, though redundant, to specify both of the above in the same config file.
+
+Preprocessors having the same priority specified through `before` and `after` are sorted by name.
+Any infinite loops will be detected and produce an error.

+# Configuring Renderers
+
+Renderers (also called "backends") are responsible for creating the output of the book.
+
+The following backends are built-in:
+
+* [`html`](#html-renderer-options) --- This renders the book to HTML.
+  This is enabled by default if no other `[output]` tables are defined in `book.toml`.
+* [`markdown`](#markdown-renderer) --- This outputs the book as markdown after running the preprocessors.
+  This is useful for debugging preprocessors.
+
+The community has developed several backends.
+See the [Third Party Plugins] wiki page for a list of available backends.
+
+For information on how to create a new backend, see the [Backends for Developers] chapter.
+
+[Third Party Plugins]: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/wiki/Third-party-plugins
+[Backends for Developers]: ../../for_developers/backends.md
+
+## Output tables
+
+Backends can be added by including a `output` table in `book.toml` with the name of the backend.
+For example, if you have a backend called `mdbook-wordcount`, then you can include it with:
+
+```toml
+[output.wordcount]
+```
+
+With this table, mdBook will execute the `mdbook-wordcount` backend.
+
+This table can include additional key-value pairs that are specific to the backend.
+For example, if our example backend needed some extra configuration options:
+
+```toml
+[output.wordcount]
+ignores = ["Example Chapter"]
+```
+
+If you define any `[output]` tables, then the `html` backend is not enabled by default.
+If you want to keep the `html` backend running, then just include it in the `book.toml` file.
+For example:
+
+```toml
+[book]
+title = "My Awesome Book"
+
+[output.wordcount]
+
+[output.html]
+```
+
+If more than one `output` table is included, this changes the behavior for the layout of the output directory.
+If there is only one backend, then it places its output directly in the `book` directory (see [`build.build-dir`] to override this location).
+If there is more than one backend, then each backend is placed in a separate directory underneath `book`.
+For example, the above would have directories `book/html` and `book/wordcount`.
+
+[`build.build-dir`]: general.md#build-options
+
+### Custom backend commands
+
+By default when you add an `[output.foo]` table to your `book.toml` file,
+`mdbook` will try to invoke the `mdbook-foo` executable.
+If you want to use a different program name or pass in command-line arguments,
+this behaviour can be overridden by adding a `command` field.
+
+```toml
+[output.random]
+command = "python random.py"
+```
+
+### Optional backends
+
+If you enable a backend that isn't installed, the default behavior is to throw an error.
+This behavior can be changed by marking the backend as optional:
+
+```toml
+[output.wordcount]
+optional = true
+```
+
+This demotes the error to a warning.
+
+
+## HTML renderer options
+
+The HTML renderer has a variety of options detailed below.
+They should be specified in the `[output.html]` table of the `book.toml` file.
+
+```toml
+# Example book.toml file with all output options.
+[book]
+title = "Example book"
+authors = ["John Doe", "Jane Doe"]
+description = "The example book covers examples."
+
+[output.html]
+theme = "my-theme"
+default-theme = "light"
+preferred-dark-theme = "navy"
+smart-punctuation = true
+mathjax-support = false
+copy-fonts = true
+additional-css = ["custom.css", "custom2.css"]
+additional-js = ["custom.js"]
+no-section-label = false
+git-repository-url = "https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook"
+git-repository-icon = "fa-github"
+edit-url-template = "https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/edit/master/guide/{path}"
+site-url = "/example-book/"
+cname = "myproject.rs"
+input-404 = "not-found.md"
+```
+
+The following configuration options are available:
+
+- **theme:** mdBook comes with a default theme and all the resource files needed
+  for it. But if this option is set, mdBook will selectively overwrite the theme
+  files with the ones found in the specified folder.
+- **default-theme:** The theme color scheme to select by default in the
+  'Change Theme' dropdown. Defaults to `light`.
+- **preferred-dark-theme:** The default dark theme. This theme will be used if
+  the browser requests the dark version of the site via the
+  [`prefers-color-scheme`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme)
+  CSS media query. Defaults to `navy`.
+- **smart-punctuation:** Converts quotes to curly quotes, `...` to `…`, `--` to en-dash, and `---` to em-dash.
+  See [Smart Punctuation].
+  Defaults to `false`.
+- **curly-quotes:** Deprecated alias for `smart-punctuation`.
+- **mathjax-support:** Adds support for [MathJax](../mathjax.md). Defaults to
+  `false`.
+- **copy-fonts:** (**Deprecated**) If `true` (the default), mdBook uses its built-in fonts which are copied to the output directory.
+  If `false`, the built-in fonts will not be used.
+  This option is deprecated. If you want to define your own custom fonts,
+  create a `theme/fonts/fonts.css` file and store the fonts in the `theme/fonts/` directory.
+- **google-analytics:** This field has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+  Use the `theme/head.hbs` file to add the appropriate Google Analytics code instead.
+- **additional-css:** If you need to slightly change the appearance of your book
+  without overwriting the whole style, you can specify a set of stylesheets that
+  will be loaded after the default ones where you can surgically change the
+  style.
+- **additional-js:** If you need to add some behaviour to your book without
+  removing the current behaviour, you can specify a set of JavaScript files that
+  will be loaded alongside the default one.
+- **no-section-label:** mdBook by defaults adds numeric section labels in the table of
+  contents column. For example, "1.", "2.1". Set this option to true to disable
+  those labels. Defaults to `false`.
+- **git-repository-url:**  A url to the git repository for the book. If provided
+  an icon link will be output in the menu bar of the book.
+- **git-repository-icon:** The FontAwesome icon class to use for the git
+  repository link. Defaults to `fa-github` which looks like <i class="fa fa-github"></i>.
+  If you are not using GitHub, another option to consider is `fa-code-fork` which looks like <i class="fa fa-code-fork"></i>.
+- **edit-url-template:** Edit url template, when provided shows a
+  "Suggest an edit" button (which looks like <i class="fa fa-edit"></i>) for directly jumping to editing the currently
+  viewed page. For e.g. GitHub projects set this to
+  `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/edit/<branch>/{path}` or for
+  Bitbucket projects set it to
+  `https://bitbucket.org/<owner>/<repo>/src/<branch>/{path}?mode=edit`
+  where {path} will be replaced with the full path of the file in the
+  repository.
+- **input-404:** The name of the markdown file used for missing files.
+  The corresponding output file will be the same, with the extension replaced with `html`.
+  Defaults to `404.md`.
+- **site-url:** The url where the book will be hosted. This is required to ensure
+  navigation links and script/css imports in the 404 file work correctly, even when accessing
+  urls in subdirectories. Defaults to `/`. If `site-url` is set,
+  make sure to use document relative links for your assets, meaning they should not start with `/`.
+- **cname:** The DNS subdomain or apex domain at which your book will be hosted.
+  This string will be written to a file named CNAME in the root of your site, as
+  required by GitHub Pages (see [*Managing a custom domain for your GitHub Pages
+  site*][custom domain]).
+
+[custom domain]: https://docs.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site
+
+### `[output.html.print]`
+
+The `[output.html.print]` table provides options for controlling the printable output.
+By default, mdBook will include an icon on the top right of the book (which looks like <i class="fa fa-print"></i>) that will print the book as a single page.
+
+```toml
+[output.html.print]
+enable = true    # include support for printable output
+page-break = true # insert page-break after each chapter
+```
+
+- **enable:** Enable print support. When `false`, all print support will not be
+  rendered. Defaults to `true`.
+- **page-break:** Insert page breaks between chapters. Defaults to `true`.
+
+### `[output.html.fold]`
+
+The `[output.html.fold]` table provides options for controlling folding of the chapter listing in the navigation sidebar.
+
+```toml
+[output.html.fold]
+enable = false    # whether or not to enable section folding
+level = 0         # the depth to start folding
+```
+
+- **enable:** Enable section-folding. When off, all folds are open.
+  Defaults to `false`.
+- **level:** The higher the more folded regions are open. When level is 0, all
+  folds are closed. Defaults to `0`.
+
+### `[output.html.playground]`
+
+The `[output.html.playground]` table provides options for controlling Rust sample code blocks, and their integration with the [Rust Playground].
+
+[Rust Playground]: https://play.rust-lang.org/
+
+```toml
+[output.html.playground]
+editable = false         # allows editing the source code
+copyable = true          # include the copy button for copying code snippets
+copy-js = true           # includes the JavaScript for the code editor
+line-numbers = false     # displays line numbers for editable code
+runnable = true          # displays a run button for rust code
+```
+
+- **editable:** Allow editing the source code. Defaults to `false`.
+- **copyable:** Display the copy button on code snippets. Defaults to `true`.
+- **copy-js:** Copy JavaScript files for the editor to the output directory.
+  Defaults to `true`.
+- **line-numbers:** Display line numbers on editable sections of code. Requires both `editable` and `copy-js` to be `true`. Defaults to `false`.
+- **runnable:** Displays a run button for rust code snippets. Changing this to `false` will disable the run in playground feature globally. Defaults to `true`.
+
+[Ace]: https://ace.c9.io/
+
+### `[output.html.code]`
+
+The `[output.html.code]` table provides options for controlling code blocks.
+
+```toml
+[output.html.code]
+# A prefix string per language (one or more chars).
+# Any line starting with whitespace+prefix is hidden.
+hidelines = { python = "~" }
+```
+
+- **hidelines:** A table that defines how [hidden code lines](../mdbook.md#hiding-code-lines) work for each language.
+  The key is the language and the value is a string that will cause code lines starting with that prefix to be hidden.
+
+### `[output.html.search]`
+
+The `[output.html.search]` table provides options for controlling the built-in text [search].
+mdBook must be compiled with the `search` feature enabled (on by default).
+
+[search]: ../../guide/reading.md#search
+
+```toml
+[output.html.search]
+enable = true            # enables the search feature
+limit-results = 30       # maximum number of search results
+teaser-word-count = 30   # number of words used for a search result teaser
+use-boolean-and = true   # multiple search terms must all match
+boost-title = 2          # ranking boost factor for matches in headers
+boost-hierarchy = 1      # ranking boost factor for matches in page names
+boost-paragraph = 1      # ranking boost factor for matches in text
+expand = true            # partial words will match longer terms
+heading-split-level = 3  # link results to heading levels
+copy-js = true           # include Javascript code for search
+```
+
+- **enable:** Enables the search feature. Defaults to `true`.
+- **limit-results:** The maximum number of search results. Defaults to `30`.
+- **teaser-word-count:** The number of words used for a search result teaser.
+  Defaults to `30`.
+- **use-boolean-and:** Define the logical link between multiple search words. If
+  true, all search words must appear in each result. Defaults to `false`.
+- **boost-title:** Boost factor for the search result score if a search word
+  appears in the header. Defaults to `2`.
+- **boost-hierarchy:** Boost factor for the search result score if a search word
+  appears in the hierarchy. The hierarchy contains all titles of the parent
+  documents and all parent headings. Defaults to `1`.
+- **boost-paragraph:** Boost factor for the search result score if a search word
+  appears in the text. Defaults to `1`.
+- **expand:** True if search should match longer results e.g. search `micro`
+  should match `microwave`. Defaults to `true`.
+- **heading-split-level:** Search results will link to a section of the document
+  which contains the result. Documents are split into sections by headings this
+  level or less. Defaults to `3`. (`### This is a level 3 heading`)
+- **copy-js:** Copy JavaScript files for the search implementation to the output
+  directory. Defaults to `true`.
+
+### `[output.html.redirect]`
+
+The `[output.html.redirect]` table provides a way to add redirects.
+This is useful when you move, rename, or remove a page to ensure that links to the old URL will go to the new location.
+
+```toml
+[output.html.redirect]
+"/appendices/bibliography.html" = "https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/appendix/bibliography.html"
+"/other-installation-methods.html" = "../infra/other-installation-methods.html"
+```
+
+The table contains key-value pairs where the key is where the redirect file needs to be created, as an absolute path from the build directory, (e.g. `/appendices/bibliography.html`).
+The value can be any valid URI the browser should navigate to (e.g. `https://rust-lang.org/`, `/overview.html`, or `../bibliography.html`).
+
+This will generate an HTML page which will automatically redirect to the given location.
+Note that the source location does not support `#` anchor redirects.
+
+## Markdown Renderer
+
+The Markdown renderer will run preprocessors and then output the resulting
+Markdown. This is mostly useful for debugging preprocessors, especially in
+conjunction with `mdbook test` to see the Markdown that `mdbook` is passing
+to `rustdoc`.
+
+The Markdown renderer is included with `mdbook` but disabled by default.
+Enable it by adding an empty table to your `book.toml` as follows:
+
+```toml
+[output.markdown]
+```
+
+There are no configuration options for the Markdown renderer at this time;
+only whether it is enabled or disabled.
+
+See [the preprocessors documentation](preprocessors.md) for how to
+specify which preprocessors should run before the Markdown renderer.

+# Markdown
+
+mdBook's [parser](https://github.com/raphlinus/pulldown-cmark) adheres to the [CommonMark](https://commonmark.org/) specification with some extensions described below.
+You can take a quick [tutorial](https://commonmark.org/help/tutorial/),
+or [try out](https://spec.commonmark.org/dingus/) CommonMark in real time. A complete Markdown overview is out of scope for 
+this documentation, but below is a high level overview of some of the basics. For a more in-depth experience, check out the
+[Markdown Guide](https://www.markdownguide.org).
+
+## Text and Paragraphs
+
+Text is rendered relatively predictably: 
+
+```markdown
+Here is a line of text.
+
+This is a new line.
+```
+
+Will look like you might expect:
+
+Here is a line of text.
+
+This is a new line.
+
+## Headings
+
+Headings use the `#` marker and should be on a line by themselves. More `#` mean smaller headings:
+
+```markdown
+### A heading 
+
+Some text.
+
+#### A smaller heading 
+
+More text.
+```
+
+### A heading 
+
+Some text.
+
+#### A smaller heading 
+
+More text.
+
+## Lists
+
+Lists can be unordered or ordered. Ordered lists will order automatically:
+
+```markdown
+* milk
+* eggs
+* butter
+
+1. carrots
+1. celery
+1. radishes
+```
+
+* milk
+* eggs
+* butter
+
+1. carrots
+1. celery
+1. radishes
+
+## Links
+
+Linking to a URL or local file is easy:
+
+```markdown
+Use [mdBook](https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook). 
+
+Read about [mdBook](mdbook.md).
+
+A bare url: <https://www.rust-lang.org>.
+```
+
+Use [mdBook](https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook). 
+
+Read about [mdBook](mdbook.md).
+
+A bare url: <https://www.rust-lang.org>.
+
+----
+
+Relative links that end with `.md` will be converted to the `.html` extension.
+It is recommended to use `.md` links when possible.
+This is useful when viewing the Markdown file outside of mdBook, for example on GitHub or GitLab which render Markdown automatically.
+
+Links to `README.md` will be converted to `index.html`.
+This is done since some services like GitHub render README files automatically, but web servers typically expect the root file to be called `index.html`.
+
+You can link to individual headings with `#` fragments.
+For example, `mdbook.md#text-and-paragraphs` would link to the [Text and Paragraphs](#text-and-paragraphs) section above.
+The ID is created by transforming the heading such as converting to lowercase and replacing spaces with dashes.
+You can click on any heading and look at the URL in your browser to see what the fragment looks like.
+
+## Images
+
+Including images is simply a matter of including a link to them, much like in the _Links_ section above. The following markdown
+includes the Rust logo SVG image found in the `images` directory at the same level as this file:
+
+```markdown
+![The Rust Logo](images/rust-logo-blk.svg)
+```
+
+Produces the following HTML when built with mdBook:
+
+```html
+<p><img src="images/rust-logo-blk.svg" alt="The Rust Logo" /></p>
+```
+
+Which, of course displays the image like so:
+
+![The Rust Logo](images/rust-logo-blk.svg)
+
+## Extensions
+
+mdBook has several extensions beyond the standard CommonMark specification.
+
+### Strikethrough
+
+Text may be rendered with a horizontal line through the center by wrapping the
+text with one or two tilde characters on each side:
+
+```text
+An example of ~~strikethrough text~~.
+```
+
+This example will render as:
+
+> An example of ~~strikethrough text~~.
+
+This follows the [GitHub Strikethrough extension][strikethrough].
+
+### Footnotes
+
+A footnote generates a small numbered link in the text which when clicked
+takes the reader to the footnote text at the bottom of the item. The footnote
+label is written similarly to a link reference with a caret at the front. The
+footnote text is written like a link reference definition, with the text
+following the label. Example:
+
+```text
+This is an example of a footnote[^note].
+
+[^note]: This text is the contents of the footnote, which will be rendered
+    towards the bottom.
+```
+
+This example will render as:
+
+> This is an example of a footnote[^note].
+>
+> [^note]: This text is the contents of the footnote, which will be rendered
+>     towards the bottom.
+
+The footnotes are automatically numbered based on the order the footnotes are
+written.
+
+### Tables
+
+Tables can be written using pipes and dashes to draw the rows and columns of
+the table. These will be translated to HTML table matching the shape. Example:
+
+```text
+| Header1 | Header2 |
+|---------|---------|
+| abc     | def     |
+```
+
+This example will render similarly to this:
+
+| Header1 | Header2 |
+|---------|---------|
+| abc     | def     |
+
+See the specification for the [GitHub Tables extension][tables] for more
+details on the exact syntax supported.
+
+### Task lists
+
+Task lists can be used as a checklist of items that have been completed.
+Example:
+
+```md
+- [x] Complete task
+- [ ] Incomplete task
+```
+
+This will render as:
+
+> - [x] Complete task
+> - [ ] Incomplete task
+
+See the specification for the [task list extension] for more details.
+
+### Smart punctuation
+
+Some ASCII punctuation sequences will be automatically turned into fancy Unicode
+characters:
+
+| ASCII sequence | Unicode |
+|----------------|---------|
+| `--`           | –       |
+| `---`          | —       |
+| `...`          | …       |
+| `"`            | “ or ”, depending on context |
+| `'`            | ‘ or ’, depending on context |
+
+So, no need to manually enter those Unicode characters!
+
+This feature is disabled by default.
+To enable it, see the [`output.html.smart-punctuation`] config option.
+
+[strikethrough]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#strikethrough-extension-
+[tables]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#tables-extension-
+[task list extension]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#task-list-items-extension-
+[`output.html.smart-punctuation`]: configuration/renderers.md#html-renderer-options
+
+### Heading attributes
+
+Headings can have a custom HTML ID and classes. This lets you maintain the same ID even if you change the heading's text, it also lets you add multiple classes in the heading.
+
+Example:
+```md
+# Example heading { #first .class1 .class2 }
+```
+
+This makes the level 1 heading with the content `Example heading`, ID `first`, and classes `class1` and `class2`. Note that the attributes should be space-separated.
+
+More information can be found in the [heading attrs spec page](https://github.com/raphlinus/pulldown-cmark/blob/master/pulldown-cmark/specs/heading_attrs.txt).

+# mdBook-specific features
+
+## Hiding code lines
+
+There is a feature in mdBook that lets you hide code lines by prepending them with a specific prefix.
+
+For the Rust language, you can use the `#` character as a prefix which will hide lines [like you would with Rustdoc][rustdoc-hide].
+
+[rustdoc-hide]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/rustdoc/write-documentation/documentation-tests.html#hiding-portions-of-the-example
+
+```bash
+# fn main() {
+    let x = 5;
+    let y = 6;
+
+    println!("{}", x + y);
+# }
+```
+
+Will render as
+
+```rust
+# fn main() {
+    let x = 5;
+    let y = 6;
+
+    println!("{}", x + y);
+# }
+```
+
+When you tap or hover the mouse over the code block, there will be an eyeball icon (<i class="fa fa-eye"></i>) which will toggle the visibility of the hidden lines.
+
+By default, this only works for code examples that are annotated with `rust`.
+However, you can define custom prefixes for other languages by adding a new line-hiding prefix in your `book.toml` with the language name and prefix character(s):
+
+```toml
+[output.html.code.hidelines]
+python = "~"
+```
+
+The prefix will hide any lines that begin with the given prefix. With the python prefix shown above, this:
+
+```bash
+~hidden()
+nothidden():
+~    hidden()
+    ~hidden()
+    nothidden()
+```
+
+will render as
+
+```python
+~hidden()
+nothidden():
+~    hidden()
+    ~hidden()
+    nothidden()
+```
+
+This behavior can be overridden locally with a different prefix. This has the same effect as above:
+
+~~~markdown
+```python,hidelines=!!!
+!!!hidden()
+nothidden():
+!!!    hidden()
+    !!!hidden()
+    nothidden()
+```
+~~~
+
+## Rust Playground
+
+Rust language code blocks will automatically get a play button (<i class="fa fa-play"></i>) which will execute the code and display the output just below the code block.
+This works by sending the code to the [Rust Playground].
+
+```rust
+println!("Hello, World!");
+```
+
+If there is no `main` function, then the code is automatically wrapped inside one.
+
+If you wish to disable the play button for a code block, you can include the `noplayground` option on the code block like this:
+
+~~~markdown
+```rust,noplayground
+let mut name = String::new();
+std::io::stdin().read_line(&mut name).expect("failed to read line");
+println!("Hello {}!", name);
+```
+~~~
+
+Or, if you wish to disable the play button for all code blocks in your book, you can write the config to the `book.toml` like this.
+
+```toml
+[output.html.playground]
+runnable = false
+```
+
+## Rust code block attributes
+
+Additional attributes can be included in Rust code blocks with comma, space, or tab-separated terms just after the language term. For example:
+
+~~~markdown
+```rust,ignore
+# This example won't be tested.
+panic!("oops!");
+```
+~~~
+
+These are particularly important when using [`mdbook test`] to test Rust examples.
+These use the same attributes as [rustdoc attributes], with a few additions:
+
+* `editable` --- Enables the [editor].
+* `noplayground` --- Removes the play button, but will still be tested.
+* `mdbook-runnable` --- Forces the play button to be displayed.
+  This is intended to be combined with the `ignore` attribute for examples that should not be tested, but you want to allow the reader to run.
+* `ignore` --- Will not be tested and no play button is shown, but it is still highlighted as Rust syntax.
+* `should_panic` --- When executed, it should produce a panic.
+* `no_run` --- The code is compiled when tested, but it is not run.
+  The play button is also not shown.
+* `compile_fail` --- The code should fail to compile.
+* `edition2015`, `edition2018`, `edition2021` --- Forces the use of a specific Rust edition.
+  See [`rust.edition`] to set this globally.
+

+[rustdoc attributes]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc/documentation-tests.html#attributes
+[editor]: theme/editor.md
+[`rust.edition`]: configuration/general.md#rust-options
+
+## Including files
+
+With the following syntax, you can include files into your book:
+
+```hbs
+\{{#include file.rs}}
+```
+
+The path to the file has to be relative from the current source file.
+
+mdBook will interpret included files as Markdown. Since the include command
+is usually used for inserting code snippets and examples, you will often
+wrap the command with ```` ``` ```` to display the file contents without
+interpreting them.
+
+````hbs
+```
+\{{#include file.rs}}
+```
+````
+
+## Including portions of a file
+Often you only need a specific part of the file, e.g. relevant lines for an
+example. We support four different modes of partial includes:
+
+```hbs
+\{{#include file.rs:2}}
+\{{#include file.rs::10}}
+\{{#include file.rs:2:}}
+\{{#include file.rs:2:10}}
+```
+
+The first command only includes the second line from file `file.rs`. The second
+command includes all lines up to line 10, i.e. the lines from 11 till the end of
+the file are omitted. The third command includes all lines from line 2, i.e. the
+first line is omitted. The last command includes the excerpt of `file.rs`
+consisting of lines 2 to 10.
+
+To avoid breaking your book when modifying included files, you can also
+include a specific section using anchors instead of line numbers.
+An anchor is a pair of matching lines. The line beginning an anchor must
+match the regex `ANCHOR:\s*[\w_-]+` and similarly the ending line must match
+the regex `ANCHOR_END:\s*[\w_-]+`. This allows you to put anchors in
+any kind of commented line.
+
+Consider the following file to include:
+```rs
+/* ANCHOR: all */
+
+// ANCHOR: component
+struct Paddle {
+    hello: f32,
+}
+// ANCHOR_END: component
+
+////////// ANCHOR: system
+impl System for MySystem { ... }
+////////// ANCHOR_END: system
+
+/* ANCHOR_END: all */
+```
+
+Then in the book, all you have to do is:
+````hbs
+Here is a component:
+```rust,no_run,noplayground
+\{{#include file.rs:component}}
+```
+
+Here is a system:
+```rust,no_run,noplayground
+\{{#include file.rs:system}}
+```
+
+This is the full file.
+```rust,no_run,noplayground
+\{{#include file.rs:all}}
+```
+````
+
+Lines containing anchor patterns inside the included anchor are ignored.
+
+## Including a file but initially hiding all except specified lines
+
+The `rustdoc_include` helper is for including code from external Rust files that contain complete
+examples, but only initially showing particular lines specified with line numbers or anchors in the
+same way as with `include`.
+
+The lines not in the line number range or between the anchors will still be included, but they will
+be prefaced with `#`. This way, a reader can expand the snippet to see the complete example, and
+Rustdoc will use the complete example when you run `mdbook test`.
+
+For example, consider a file named `file.rs` that contains this Rust program:
+
+```rust
+fn main() {
+    let x = add_one(2);
+    assert_eq!(x, 3);
+}
+
+fn add_one(num: i32) -> i32 {
+    num + 1
+}
+```
+
+We can include a snippet that initially shows only line 2 by using this syntax:
+
+````hbs
+To call the `add_one` function, we pass it an `i32` and bind the returned value to `x`:
+
+```rust
+\{{#rustdoc_include file.rs:2}}
+```
+````
+
+This would have the same effect as if we had manually inserted the code and hidden all but line 2
+using `#`:
+
+````hbs
+To call the `add_one` function, we pass it an `i32` and bind the returned value to `x`:
+
+```rust
+# fn main() {
+    let x = add_one(2);
+#     assert_eq!(x, 3);
+# }
+#
+# fn add_one(num: i32) -> i32 {
+#     num + 1
+# }
+```
+````
+
+That is, it looks like this (click the "expand" icon to see the rest of the file):
+
+```rust
+# fn main() {
+    let x = add_one(2);
+#     assert_eq!(x, 3);
+# }
+#
+# fn add_one(num: i32) -> i32 {
+#     num + 1
+# }
+```
+
+## Inserting runnable Rust files
+
+With the following syntax, you can insert runnable Rust files into your book:
+
+```hbs
+\{{#playground file.rs}}
+```
+
+The path to the Rust file has to be relative from the current source file.
+
+When play is clicked, the code snippet will be sent to the [Rust Playground] to be
+compiled and run. The result is sent back and displayed directly underneath the
+code.
+
+Here is what a rendered code snippet looks like:
+
+{{#playground example.rs}}
+
+Any additional values passed after the filename will be included as attributes of the code block.
+For example `\{{#playground example.rs editable}}` will create the code block like the following:
+
+~~~markdown
+```rust,editable
+# Contents of example.rs here.
+```
+~~~
+
+And the `editable` attribute will enable the [editor] as described at [Rust code block attributes](#rust-code-block-attributes).
+
+[Rust Playground]: https://play.rust-lang.org/
+
+## Controlling page \<title\>
+
+A chapter can set a \<title\> that is different from its entry in the table of
+contents (sidebar) by including a `\{{#title ...}}` near the top of the page.
+
+```hbs
+\{{#title My Title}}

+# SUMMARY.md
+
+The summary file is used by mdBook to know what chapters to include, in what
+order they should appear, what their hierarchy is and where the source files
+are. Without this file, there is no book.
+
+This markdown file must be named `SUMMARY.md`. Its formatting
+is very strict and must follow the structure outlined below to allow for easy
+parsing. Any element not specified below, be it formatting or textual, is likely
+to be ignored at best, or may cause an error when attempting to build the book.
+
+### Structure
+
+1. ***Title*** - While optional, it's common practice to begin with a title, generally <code
+   class="language-markdown"># Summary</code>. This is ignored by the parser however, and
+   can be omitted.
+   ```markdown
+   # Summary
+   ```
+
+1. ***Prefix Chapter*** - Before the main numbered chapters, prefix chapters can be added
+   that will not be numbered. This is useful for forewords,
+   introductions, etc. There are, however, some constraints. Prefix chapters cannot be
+   nested; they should all be on the root level. And you cannot add
+   prefix chapters once you have added numbered chapters.
+   ```markdown
+   [A Prefix Chapter](relative/path/to/markdown.md)
+
+   - [First Chapter](relative/path/to/markdown2.md)
+   ```
+
+1. ***Part Title*** -
+   Level 1 headers can be used as a title for the following numbered chapters.
+   This can be used to logically separate different sections of the book.
+   The title is rendered as unclickable text.
+   Titles are optional, and the numbered chapters can be broken into as many parts as desired.
+   Part titles must be h1 headers (one `#`), other heading levels are ignored.
+   ```markdown
+   # My Part Title
+
+   - [First Chapter](relative/path/to/markdown.md)
+   ```
+
+1. ***Numbered Chapter*** - Numbered chapters outline the main content of the book
+   and can be nested, resulting in a nice hierarchy
+   (chapters, sub-chapters, etc.).
+   ```markdown
+   # Title of Part
+
+   - [First Chapter](relative/path/to/markdown.md)
+   - [Second Chapter](relative/path/to/markdown2.md)
+      - [Sub Chapter](relative/path/to/markdown3.md)
+
+   # Title of Another Part
+
+   - [Another Chapter](relative/path/to/markdown4.md)
+   ```
+   Numbered chapters can be denoted with either `-` or `*` (do not mix delimiters). 
+   
+1. ***Suffix Chapter*** - Like prefix chapters, suffix chapters are unnumbered, but they come after 
+   numbered chapters.
+   ```markdown
+   - [Last Chapter](relative/path/to/markdown.md)
+
+   [Title of Suffix Chapter](relative/path/to/markdown2.md)
+   ```
+
+1. ***Draft chapters*** - Draft chapters are chapters without a file and thus content.
+   The purpose of a draft chapter is to signal future chapters still to be written.
+   Or when still laying out the structure of the book to avoid creating the files
+   while you are still changing the structure of the book a lot.
+   Draft chapters will be rendered in the HTML renderer as disabled links in the table
+   of contents, as you can see for the next chapter in the table of contents on the left.
+   Draft chapters are written like normal chapters but without writing the path to the file.
+   ```markdown
+   - [Draft Chapter]()
+   ```
+
+1. ***Separators*** - Separators can be added before, in between, and after any other element. They result
+   in an HTML rendered line in the built table of contents.  A separator is
+   a line containing exclusively dashes and at least three of them: `---`.
+   ```markdown
+   # My Part Title
+   
+   [A Prefix Chapter](relative/path/to/markdown.md)
+
+   ---
+
+   - [First Chapter](relative/path/to/markdown2.md)
+   ```
+  
+
+### Example
+
+Below is the markdown source for the `SUMMARY.md` for this guide, with the resulting table
+of contents as rendered to the left.
+
+```markdown
+{{#include ../SUMMARY.md}}

+# Theme
+
+The default renderer uses a [handlebars](https://handlebarsjs.com) template to
+render your markdown files and comes with a default theme included in the mdBook
+binary.
+
+The theme is totally customizable, you can selectively replace every file from
+the theme by your own by adding a `theme` directory next to `src` folder in your
+project root. Create a new file with the name of the file you want to override
+and now that file will be used instead of the default file.
+
+Here are the files you can override:
+
+- **_index.hbs_** is the handlebars template.
+- **_head.hbs_** is appended to the HTML `<head>` section.
+- **_header.hbs_** content is appended on top of every book page.
+- **_css/_** contains the CSS files for styling the book.
+    - **_css/chrome.css_** is for UI elements.
+    - **_css/general.css_** is the base styles.
+    - **_css/print.css_** is the style for printer output.
+    - **_css/variables.css_** contains variables used in other CSS files.
+- **_book.js_** is mostly used to add client side functionality, like hiding /
+  un-hiding the sidebar, changing the theme, ...
+- **_highlight.js_** is the JavaScript that is used to highlight code snippets,
+  you should not need to modify this.
+- **_highlight.css_** is the theme used for the code highlighting.
+- **_favicon.svg_** and **_favicon.png_** the favicon that will be used. The SVG
+  version is used by [newer browsers].
+- **fonts/fonts.css** contains the definition of which fonts to load.
+  Custom fonts can be included in the `fonts` directory.
+
+Generally, when you want to tweak the theme, you don't need to override all the
+files. If you only need changes in the stylesheet, there is no point in
+overriding all the other files. Because custom files take precedence over
+built-in ones, they will not get updated with new fixes / features.
+
+**Note:** When you override a file, it is possible that you break some
+functionality. Therefore I recommend to use the file from the default theme as
+template and only add / modify what you need. You can copy the default theme
+into your source directory automatically by using `mdbook init --theme` and just
+remove the files you don't want to override.
+
+`mdbook init --theme` will not create every file listed above.
+Some files, such as `head.hbs`, do not have built-in equivalents.
+Just create the file if you need it.
+
+If you completely replace all built-in themes, be sure to also set
+[`output.html.preferred-dark-theme`] in the config, which defaults to the
+built-in `navy` theme.

+# index.hbs
+
+`index.hbs` is the handlebars template that is used to render the book. The
+markdown files are processed to html and then injected in that template.
+
+If you want to change the layout or style of your book, chances are that you
+will have to modify this template a little bit. Here is what you need to know.
+
+## Data
+
+A lot of data is exposed to the handlebars template with the "context". In the
+handlebars template you can access this information by using
+
+```handlebars
+{{name_of_property}}
+```
+
+Here is a list of the properties that are exposed:
+
+- ***language*** Language of the book in the form `en`, as specified in `book.toml` (if not specified, defaults to `en`). To use in <code
+  class="language-html">\<html lang=\"{{ language }}\"></code> for example.
+- ***title*** Title used for the current page. This is identical to `{{ chapter_title }} - {{ book_title }}` unless `book_title` is not set in which case it just defaults to the `chapter_title`.
+- ***book_title*** Title of the book, as specified in `book.toml`
+- ***chapter_title*** Title of the current chapter, as listed in `SUMMARY.md`
+
+- ***path*** Relative path to the original markdown file from the source
+  directory
+- ***content*** This is the rendered markdown.
+- ***path_to_root*** This is a path containing exclusively `../`'s that points
+  to the root of the book from the current file. Since the original directory
+  structure is maintained, it is useful to prepend relative links with this
+  `path_to_root`.
+
+- ***chapters*** Is an array of dictionaries of the form
+  ```json
+  {"section": "1.2.1", "name": "name of this chapter", "path": "dir/markdown.md"}
+  ```
+  containing all the chapters of the book. It is used for example to construct
+  the table of contents (sidebar).
+
+## Handlebars Helpers
+
+In addition to the properties you can access, there are some handlebars helpers
+at your disposal.
+
+### 1. toc
+
+The toc helper is used like this
+
+```handlebars
+{{#toc}}{{/toc}}
+```
+
+and outputs something that looks like this, depending on the structure of your
+book
+
+```html
+<ul class="chapter">
+    <li><a href="link/to/file.html">Some chapter</a></li>
+    <li>
+        <ul class="section">
+            <li><a href="link/to/other_file.html">Some other Chapter</a></li>
+        </ul>
+    </li>
+</ul>
+```
+
+If you would like to make a toc with another structure, you have access to the
+chapters property containing all the data. The only limitation at the moment
+is that you would have to do it with JavaScript instead of with a handlebars
+helper.
+
+```html
+<script>
+var chapters = {{chapters}};
+// Processing here
+</script>
+```
+
+### 2. previous / next
+
+The previous and next helpers expose a `link` and `title` property to the
+previous and next chapters.
+
+They are used like this
+
+```handlebars
+{{#previous}}
+    <a href="{{link}}" class="nav-chapters previous">
+        <i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> {{title}}
+    </a>
+{{/previous}}
+```
+
+The inner html will only be rendered if the previous / next chapter exists.
+Of course the inner html can be changed to your liking.
+

+# Syntax Highlighting
+
+mdBook uses [Highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org) with a custom theme
+for syntax highlighting.
+
+Automatic language detection has been turned off, so you will probably want to
+specify the programming language you use like this:
+
+~~~markdown
+```rust
+fn main() {
+    // Some code
+}
+```
+~~~
+
+## Supported languages
+
+These languages are supported by default, but you can add more by supplying
+your own `highlight.js` file:
+
+- apache
+- armasm
+- bash
+- c
+- coffeescript
+- cpp
+- csharp
+- css
+- d
+- diff
+- go

+- python
+- r
+- ruby
+- rust
+- scala
+- scss
+- shell
+- sql
+- swift
+- typescript
+- x86asm
+- xml
+- yaml
+
+## Custom theme
+Like the rest of the theme, the files used for syntax highlighting can be
+overridden with your own.
+
+- ***highlight.js*** normally you shouldn't have to overwrite this file, unless
+  you want to use a more recent version.
+- ***highlight.css*** theme used by highlight.js for syntax highlighting.
+
+If you want to use another theme for `highlight.js` download it from their
+website, or make it yourself, rename it to `highlight.css` and put it in
+the `theme` folder of your book.
+
+Now your theme will be used instead of the default theme.
+
+## Improve default theme
+
+If you think the default theme doesn't look quite right for a specific language,
+or could be improved, feel free to [submit a new
+issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/issues) explaining what you
+have in mind and I will take a look at it.
+
+You could also create a pull-request with the proposed improvements.
+
+Overall the theme should be light and sober, without too many flashy colors.

+# Creating a Book
+
+Once you have the `mdbook` CLI tool installed, you can use it to create and render a book.
+
+## Initializing a book
+
+The `mdbook init` command will create a new directory containing an empty book for you to get started.
+Give it the name of the directory that you want to create:
+
+```sh
+mdbook init my-first-book
+```
+
+It will ask a few questions before generating the book.
+After answering the questions, you can change the current directory into the new book:
+
+```sh
+cd my-first-book
+```
+
+There are several ways to render a book, but one of the easiest methods is to use the `serve` command, which will build your book and start a local webserver:
+
+```sh
+mdbook serve --open
+```
+
+The `--open` option will open your default web browser to view your new book.
+You can leave the server running even while you edit the content of the book, and `mdbook` will automatically rebuild the output *and* automatically refresh your web browser.
+
+Check out the [CLI Guide](../cli/index.html) for more information about other `mdbook` commands and CLI options.
+
+## Anatomy of a book
+
+A book is built from several files which define the settings and layout of the book.
+
+### `book.toml`
+
+In the root of your book, there is a `book.toml` file which contains settings for describing how to build your book.
+This is written in the [TOML markup language](https://toml.io/).
+The default settings are usually good enough to get you started.
+When you are interested in exploring more features and options that mdBook provides, check out the [Configuration chapter](../format/configuration/index.html) for more details.
+
+A very basic `book.toml` can be as simple as this:
+
+```toml
+[book]
+title = "My First Book"
+```
+
+### `SUMMARY.md`
+
+The next major part of a book is the summary file located at `src/SUMMARY.md`.
+This file contains a list of all the chapters in the book.
+Before a chapter can be viewed, it must be added to this list.
+
+Here's a basic summary file with a few chapters:
+
+```md
+# Summary
+
+[Introduction](README.md)
+
+- [My First Chapter](my-first-chapter.md)
+- [Nested example](nested/README.md)
+    - [Sub-chapter](nested/sub-chapter.md)
+```
+
+Try opening up `src/SUMMARY.md` in your editor and adding a few chapters.
+If any of the chapter files do not exist, `mdbook` will automatically create them for you.
+
+For more details on other formatting options for the summary file, check out the [Summary chapter](../format/summary.md).
+
+### Source files
+
+The content of your book is all contained in the `src` directory.
+Each chapter is a separate Markdown file.
+Typically, each chapter starts with a level 1 heading with the title of the chapter.
+
+```md
+# My First Chapter
+
+Fill out your content here.
+```
+
+The precise layout of the files is up to you.
+The organization of the files will correspond to the HTML files generated, so keep in mind that the file layout is part of the URL of each chapter.
+
+While the `mdbook serve` command is running, you can open any of the chapter files and start editing them.
+Each time you save the file, `mdbook` will rebuild the book and refresh your web browser.
+
+Check out the [Markdown chapter](../format/markdown.md) for more information on formatting the content of your chapters.
+
+All other files in the `src` directory will be included in the output.
+So if you have images or other static files, just include them somewhere in the `src` directory.
+
+## Publishing a book
+
+Once you've written your book, you may want to host it somewhere for others to view.
+The first step is to build the output of the book.
+This can be done with the `mdbook build` command in the same directory where the `book.toml` file is located:
+
+```sh
+mdbook build
+```
+
+This will generate a directory named `book` which contains the HTML content of your book.
+You can then place this directory on any web server to host it.
+
+For more information about publishing and deploying, check out the [Continuous Integration chapter](../continuous-integration.md) for more.

+# Installation
+
+There are multiple ways to install the mdBook CLI tool.
+Choose any one of the methods below that best suit your needs.
+If you are installing mdBook for automatic deployment, check out the [continuous integration] chapter for more examples on how to install.
+
+[continuous integration]: ../continuous-integration.md
+
+## Pre-compiled binaries
+
+Executable binaries are available for download on the [GitHub Releases page][releases].
+Download the binary for your platform (Windows, macOS, or Linux) and extract the archive.
+The archive contains an `mdbook` executable which you can run to build your books.
+
+To make it easier to run, put the path to the binary into your `PATH`.
+
+[releases]: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/releases
+
+## Build from source using Rust
+
+To build the `mdbook` executable from source, you will first need to install Rust and Cargo.
+Follow the instructions on the [Rust installation page].
+mdBook currently requires at least Rust version 1.74.
+
+Once you have installed Rust, the following command can be used to build and install mdBook:
+
+```sh
+cargo install mdbook
+```
+
+This will automatically download mdBook from [crates.io], build it, and install it in Cargo's global binary directory (`~/.cargo/bin/` by default).
+
+To uninstall, run the command `cargo uninstall mdbook`.
+
+[Rust installation page]: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
+[crates.io]: https://crates.io/
+
+### Installing the latest master version
+
+The version published to crates.io will ever so slightly be behind the version hosted on GitHub.
+If you need the latest version you can build the git version of mdBook yourself.
+Cargo makes this ***super easy***!

+# Reading Books
+
+This chapter gives an introduction on how to interact with a book produced by mdBook.
+This assumes you are reading an HTML book.
+The options and formatting will be different for other output formats such as PDF.
+
+A book is organized into *chapters*.
+Each chapter is a separate page.
+Chapters can be nested into a hierarchy of sub-chapters.
+Typically, each chapter will be organized into a series of *headings* to subdivide a chapter.
+
+## Navigation
+
+There are several methods for navigating through the chapters of a book.
+
+The **sidebar** on the left provides a list of all chapters.
+Clicking on any of the chapter titles will load that page.
+
+The sidebar may not automatically appear if the window is too narrow, particularly on mobile displays.
+In that situation, the menu icon (three horizontal bars) at the top-left of the page can be pressed to open and close the sidebar.
+
+The **arrow buttons** at the bottom of the page can be used to navigate to the previous or the next chapter.
+
+The **left and right arrow keys** on the keyboard can be used to navigate to the previous or the next chapter.
+
+## Top menu bar
+
+The menu bar at the top of the page provides some icons for interacting with the book.
+The icons displayed will depend on the settings of how the book was generated.
+
+| Icon | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| <i class="fa fa-bars"></i> | Opens and closes the chapter listing sidebar. |
+| <i class="fa fa-paint-brush"></i> | Opens a picker to choose a different color theme. |
+| <i class="fa fa-search"></i> | Opens a search bar for searching within the book. |
+| <i class="fa fa-print"></i> | Instructs the web browser to print the entire book. |
+| <i class="fa fa-github"></i> | Opens a link to the website that hosts the source code of the book. |
+| <i class="fa fa-edit"></i> | Opens a page to directly edit the source of the page you are currently reading. |
+
+Tapping the menu bar will scroll the page to the top.
+
+## Search
+
+Each book has a built-in search system.
+Pressing the search icon (<i class="fa fa-search"></i>) in the menu bar, or pressing the `S` key on the keyboard will open an input box for entering search terms.
+Typing some terms will show matching chapters and sections in real time.
+
+Clicking any of the results will jump to that section.
+The up and down arrow keys can be used to navigate the results, and enter will open the highlighted section.
+
+After loading a search result, the matching search terms will be highlighted in the text.
+Clicking a highlighted word or pressing the `Esc` key will remove the highlighting.
+
+## Code blocks
+
+mdBook books are often used for programming projects, and thus support highlighting code blocks and samples.
+Code blocks may contain several different icons for interacting with them:
+
+| Icon | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| <i class="fa fa-copy"></i> | Copies the code block into your local clipboard, to allow pasting into another application. |
+| <i class="fa fa-play"></i> | For Rust code examples, this will execute the sample code and display the compiler output just below the example (see [playground]). |
+| <i class="fa fa-eye"></i> | For Rust code examples, this will toggle visibility of "hidden" lines. Sometimes, larger examples will hide lines which are not particularly relevant to what is being illustrated (see [hiding code lines]). |
+| <i class="fa fa-history"></i> | For [editable code examples][editor], this will undo any changes you have made. |
+
+Here's an example:
+
+```rust
+println!("Hello, World!");
+```
+
+[editor]: ../format/theme/editor.md
+[playground]: ../format/mdbook.md#rust-playground
+[hiding code lines]: ../format/mdbook.md#hiding-code-lines
