Idea: CLI tool for using rust-patterns as a manual #170
Description
Something for the really far future:
Build a tool that pulls in this repository and wraps it man-like, so people could actually search within these articles from the command line.
- distributable via
crate.io cargo install mdb-readerto install,cargo install-update mdb-readerto update- you can use the tool to search for patterns on the commandline working like
manon Linux mdb-reader rust-patterns builderprints thebuilder patternarticle in a nice commandline-native way- nice to read something while developing in IDE
- could be used for other mdbooks as well, if there are multiple sources to pull data from, but would be the same basis

Basically it could be a way to read mdbooks interactively in the terminal, right?
I don't think the binary should be called
rust-patterns. You install this general binary, that could be used for any book.So it should be like
cargo install mdb-readeror something like that.simonsan commentedon Jan 6, 2021
Updated the initial comment :-) Used the name because of this repository, but you're right in that it makes sense to chose a general name from the beginning to not let people get confused over this.

Something like https://crates.io/crates/rusty-man? Or maybe we can open this in mdbook as an issue?
