README

Bookdown generates DocBook-like HTML output using Markdown and JSON files instead of XML.

Bookdown is especially well-suited for publishing project documentation to GitHub Pages.

Current Work

This is a list of custom bookdown.io templates

To run the tests after composer install, issue ./vendor/bin/phpunit at the package root.

(In no particular order.)
