Create a Book on Markdown
For creating a Book on top of Markdown, there are some solutions I want to explore here.
This could be done solely in Obsidian, but there wouldn’t be management around chapters, post-processing and many other things that include a book.
There are that add a such feature, for example, GitBook tackles it from the documentation side. But in the same area, there is Quartz - Publish Obsidian Vault where I build my Second Brain on and all the other Static Site Generators (SSG) website tools. E.g. my Website is built with GoHugo.
But there are also others:
- mdBook based on Rust, an example is the Rust book (documentation)
- Using Pandoc: Building books with Markdown using pandoc
- Frictionless Self-Publishing for Tech-Savvy Writers | Softcover.io used by Shawn Swyx Wang
