How To Use Bookbinder To View Your Documentation

Bookbinder is a command-line utility for stitching Markdown documents into a hostable web app. The PCF 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. Change into the docs-book-pks directory.
  4. Run bundle install to install all of the necessary gems, including Bookbinder.
  5. Build your documentation site with bookbinder in one of the two following ways:
  • Run bundle exec bookbinder watch to build an interactive version of the documentation and navigate to localhost:4567/pks/1-5/index.html in a browser. (It may take a moment for the site to load at first.) This builds a site from your content repository at docs-content, and then monitors that repository to update the site if you make any changes to the repository.
  • Run bundle exec bookbinder bind local to build a Rack web-app of the book. After the bind has completed, cd into the final_app directory and run rackup. Then navigate to localhost:9292/pks/1-5/index.html in a browser.
