How To Use Bookbinder To View Your Documentation

Bookbinder is a command-line utility for stitching Markdown documents into a hostable web app. The documentation team uses Bookbinder to publish our documentation sites, but you can also use Bookbinder to view a live version of your documentation on your local machine.

Bookbinder draws the content for the site from this repository, the left navigation menu ("subnav") from docs-book-pks, and various layout configuration and assets from docs-layout-repo.

To use Bookbinder to view your documentation, perform the following steps:

1. Clone this repository to the ~/workspace directory on your local machine.
2. Clone docs-book-pks and docs-layout-repo to the ~/workspace directory on your local machine.
3. Navigate into the docs-book-pks directory.
4. Run bundle install to install all of the necessary gems, including Bookbinder.
5. Run bundle exec bookbinder bind local to build a Rack web-app of the book. After the bind has completed, navigate into the final_app directory and run rackup. Then navigate to localhost:9292/pks/1-6/index.html in a browser.
