    This project relies on headless_chrome. Because the new version has not been released, and the default timeout is not friendly to PDF generation, I use my Fork version to publish mdbook-pdf-headless_chrome for expanding the relevant timeout to 300 seconds as a submodule of this project, thus enabling the project to be published on Crates.io as well.

    mdBook allows you to create book from markdown files. It's pretty much alike Gitbook but implemented in Rust. However, unlike Gitbook that supports using calibre for generating PDF, for a long time, mdBook doesn't support generating PDF files natively, and supporting that is also not in their roadmap. Existing plugins (backends) such as mdbook-latex that utilize Tectonic as well as pandoc solutions will generate a PDF page that doesn't unify with the existing mdBook generated HTML version. Considering these facts, I created a mdBook backend named mdbook-pdf for generating PDF based on headless chrome and Chrome DevTools Protocol Page.printToPDF.
