mdbook-admonish
A preprocessor for mdbook to add Material Design admonishments, based on the mkdocs-material implementation.
It turns this:
```admonish info
A beautifully styled message.
```
into this:
Examples
Read the documentation here, to see the actual examples in action. You can see the source in the ./book
subdirectory.
Projects using mdbook-admonish include:
Usage
Use any fenced code-block as you normally would, but annotate it with admonish <admonition type>
:
```admonish example
My example is the best!
```
See the reference page for a list of supported admonitions. You'll find:
info
warning
danger
example
and quite a few more!
You can also leave out the admonition type altogether, in which case it will default to note
:
```admonish
A plain note.
```
Additional Options
See the mdbook-admonish
book for additional options, such as:
- Custom titles
- Custom styling
- Collapsible blocks
Installation
Install the tool:
cargo install mdbook-admonish
# If you get compilation/installation errors, try a locked installation
cargo install mdbook-admonish --locked
Then let mdbook-admonish
add the required files and configuration:
# Note: this may need to be rerun for new minor versions of mdbook-admonish
# see the 'Semantic Versioning' section below for details.
mdbook-admonish install path/to/your/book
# optionally, specify a directory where CSS files live, relative to the book root
mdbook-admonish install --css-dir ./assets/css .
This will add the following configuration to your book.toml
:
[preprocessor.admonish]
command = "mdbook-admonish"
[output.html]
additional-css = ["./mdbook-admonish.css"]
and copy the file mdbook-admonish.css
into your book's directory.
Then, build your book as usual:
mdbook path/to/book
Reproducible builds
For a reproducible build suitable for use in CI or scripts, please:
- Pin to a specific version
- Install with lockfile dependencies
- Always install the latest CSS assets
cargo install mdbook-admonish --vers "1.5.0" --locked
mdbook-admonish install path/to/your/book
The Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is documented in Cargo.toml
, and noted in the CHANGELOG.md
. We aims to support around six months of stable Rust.
Updates
Please note, when updating your version of mdbook-admonish
, updated styles will not be applied unless you rerun mdbook-admonish install
to update the additional CSS files in your book.
mdbook
will fail the build if you require newer assets than you have installed:
2022-04-26 12:27:52 [INFO] (mdbook::book): Book building has started
ERROR:
Incompatible assets installed: required mdbook-admonish assets version '^2.0.0', but found '1.0.0'.
Please run `mdbook-admonish install` to update installed assets.
2022-04-26 12:27:52 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Error: The "admonish" preprocessor exited unsuccessfully with exit status: 1 status
If you want to update across minor versions without breakage, you should always run mdbook-admonish install
.
Process included files
You can ensure that content inlined with {{#include}}
is also processed by setting the after
option:
[preprocessor.admonish]
after = ["links"]
This will expand include
directives, before expanding admonish
blocks.
Semantic Versioning
Guarantees provided are as follows:
- Major versions: Contain breaking changes to the user facing markdown API, or the public API of the crate itself.
- Minor versions: Feature release. May contain changes to generated CSS/HTML requiring
mdbook-admonish install
to be rerun.- Note: updating acrosss minor versions without running
mdbook-admonish install
to reinstall assets may break your build. - This is due to limitations in the
mdbook
preprocessor architecture. Relevant issues that may alleviate this:
- Note: updating acrosss minor versions without running
- Patch versions: Bug fixes only.
Development
