A preprocessor for mdbook that adds support for hidden chapters. The hidden chapters can be marked by adding a special Markdown comment. Based on the config, hidden chapters can be added or removed in the build.
Currently, this preprocessor is only available as a crate. In future, I'll add the binary releases as well. To install, run the command:
sh
cargo install mdbook-hide
To use the preprocessor in your mdbook, add the following section in the
book.toml. If the hide is set to true, then the hidden chapters will be
removed.
toml
[preprocessor.hide]
hide = true
To mark a chapter as hidden, add this special Comment anywhere in the Markdown file. It is better to have it at the top of the file for clarity.
