mdbook-hide

A preprocessor for mdbook that adds support for hidden chapters. The hidden chapters can be marked by adding a special Markdown comment. Based on the config, hidden chapters can be added or removed in the build.

Installation

Currently, this preprocessor is only available as a crate. In future, I'll add the binary releases as well. To install, run the command:

cargo install mdbook-hide

Usage

To use the preprocessor in your mdbook, add the following section in the book.toml. If the hide is set to true, then the hidden chapters will be removed.

[preprocessor.hide]
hide = true

To mark a chapter as hidden, add this special Comment anywhere in the Markdown file. It is better to have it at the top of the file for clarity.

<!--hidden-->
