Building locally

To build the website locally, you have to install mdBook, see here.

Then run the command mdbook build from this folder; the website can be found in the folder book/html. Use mdbook serve to make the contents available in your browser at localhost:3000, it automatically updates whenever the contents change.

To build the PDF locally, use cargo install mdbook-pdf first. Then, when running mdbook build, the PDF will be created in book/pdf.
