MdBook – a command line tool to create books with Markdown

• mdBook

  106 18,495 8.3 Rust

  Create book from markdown files. Like Gitbook but implemented in Rust

  

  Biggest downside of this tool is inability to render PDF or ePub[1]. This is why we recently switched to Quarto[2]. Typst is also a good alternative, already mentioned in other comments.

  VitePress and Docusaurus seem decent. I think VitePress might be more suited to blogging, but I admit I haven’t actually used or tested either.

• typst

  134 35,760 9.8 Rust

  A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn.

  

  I am happily experimenting with Typst right now (https://typst.app/ ), which compiles much faster than LaTeX and with a syntax very similar to md, together with nice support for math, figures and advanced settings.

  I'm satisfied with Hugo: https://gohugo.io/ It is very fast and has a lot of features. The syntax highlighting for code looks also very good.
