# mdtome

**Markdown Tome** - A Gitbook clone.

* Fast
* Simple
* Compatible with Gitbook structure(s)
* Produces optimized builds
* Creates sitemaps by default
* Can generate PDFs
* Google Analytics and Adsense built in by default

Example: https://andersevenrud.github.io/mdtome

## Requirements

Node 8.x or later.

## Installation

```
npm install -g mdtome
```

> You can also install this locally in your projects.

## Configuration

Create a file named `.mdtome`

```javascript
module.exports = {
input: '.',
title: 'My Awesome Tome',
url: 'http://my-website.com'
};
```

See `src/config.js` for a full list of options. *TODO: Add table here*

*Regular Gitbook `book.json` file is also supported, but will not allow you to make any customization.*

## Usage

The generated output will be in `_book/` by default.

### CLI

Simply run this command in your project root directory:

```bash
mdtome [--input=path] [--output=path] [--pdf=path] [--verbose] [--watch]
```

Or if you have mdtome as a dependency in your project:

```bash
npx mdtome [--input=path] [--output=path] [--pdf=path] [--verbose] [--watch]
```

> Note, use `NODE_ENV=production mdtome ...` to make an optimized build.

### API

```javascript
const mdtome = require('mdtome');

mdtome({
/* Configuration options here */
/* Same as the .mdtome file */
}) // -> Promise
```

#### Plugins

```
module.exports = {
// Per page render
render: html => Promise.resolve(html)

// Template loading
template => (html, pdf) => Promise.resolve(html)
};
```
