With a lot of projects I like to keep a log or journal. Mdbook is a nice way to do that, but I find that actually entering in the day and date and creating a new file can be error prone and tedious.
mdbook-newday is a very special purpose command that will take
a SUMMARY.md
file and add a line to it for the current day.
The format of that line is
- [%A, %b %d, %Y](./%Y/%Y-%m/%Y-%m-%d.md)
, ie
- [Thursday, Jan 01, 1970](./1970/1970-01/1970-01-01.md)
,
If you then run mdbook serve, it will create a file at ./1970/1970-01/1970-01-01.md
.
The file will be automatically given a title in the form # Thursday, Jan 01, 1970
.
