mdbook build
It will try to parse your SUMMARY.md file to understand the structure of your
book and fetch the corresponding files. Note that this will also create files
mentioned in SUMMARY.md which are not yet present.
The rendered output will maintain the same directory structure as the source for convenience. Large books will therefore remain structured when rendered.
The build command can take a directory as an argument to use as the book’s
root instead of the current working directory.
mdbook build path/to/book
--openWhen you use the --open (-o) flag, mdbook will open the rendered book in
your default web browser after building it.
--dest-dirThe --dest-dir (-d) option allows you to change the output directory for the
book. Relative paths are interpreted relative to the current directory. If
not specified it will default to the value of the build.build-dir key in
book.toml, or to ./book.
Note: The build command copies all files (excluding files with .md extension) from the source directory
into the build directory.
