|
||
|
||
### Why `src/` subdirectory
|
||
|
||
This is the **standard mdBook convention**:
|
||
- **Source (`src/`)**: Version-controlled markdown files, directly readable
|
||
- **Output (`book/`)**: Generated HTML/CSS/JS, Git-ignored (regenerated on build)
|
||
|
||
This separation allows the same source files to generate multiple output formats (HTML, PDF, EPUB) without
|
||
cluttering the version-controlled repository.
|
||

|
||
## 🔨 Building HTML with mdBook
|
||
|
||
If you prefer a formatted HTML website with search, themes, and copy buttons, build with mdBook:
|
||
|
||
### Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cargo install mdbook
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Build & Serve
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Navigate to docs directory
|
||
cd provisioning/docs
|
||
|
||
# Build HTML to book/ directory
|
||
mdbook build
|
||
|
||
# Serve locally at http://localhost:3000 (with live reload)
|
||
mdbook serve
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Output
|
||
|
||
Generated HTML is available in `provisioning/docs/book/` after building.
|
||
|
||
**Note**: mdBook is entirely optional. The markdown files in `src/` work perfectly fine in any Git
|
||
viewer or text editor.

## 📖 Reading Markdown Directly
|
||
|
||
All documentation is standard GitHub Flavored Markdown. You can:
|
||
|
||
- **GitHub/GitLab**: Click `provisioning/docs/src/` and browse directly
|
||
- **Local Git**: Clone the repo and open any `.md` file in your editor
|
||
- **Text Search**: Use `grep` or your editor's search to find topics across all markdown files
|
||
- **mdBook (optional)**: Build HTML for formatted reading with search and theming
