MUDBook

MUDBook takes a collection of Markup (HTML) and Markdown pages and turns them into a Web site that nicely displays your documentation similar to GitBook. You can use MUDBook either as a tool to create a static Website from your documentation or as a Web server to serve the pages. Key features include:

• Support for .md and .html files
• Search using lunr.js
• Search and Syntax highlighting using highlights.js
• Responsive, looks great on desktops as well as mobile
• Fully customizable using your own document template

Install

Install mudbook globally using npm -g option.
