:description lang=en: Learn how to host mdBook documentation on Read the Docs.

`mdBook`_ is a command line tool to create books with Markdown.

Minimal configuration is required to build an existing mdBook project on Read the Docs.

.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: .readthedocs.yaml
version: 2
build:
os: ubuntu-lts-latest
tools:
rust: latest
commands:
- cargo --version
- cargo install mdbook
# For an example book..
# - mdbook init docs
- mdbook build docs --dest-dir $READTHEDOCS_OUTPUT/html
.. _mdBook: https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/

Limitations
-----------

All Read the Docs features are supported for mdBook projects,
as it builds static HTML files that can be hosted on Read the Docs.

Getting started
---------------

- If you have an existing mdBook project you want to host on Read the Docs, check out our :doc:`/intro/add-project` guide.
- If you're new to mdBook, check out the official `Getting started with mdBook`_ guide.
