BookGen is a command line toolchain for writing books and documentation in Markdown.
It was inspired by GitBook. Generally speaking you can call it a static website generator, but it has some neat features compared to other products.
BookGen is free and open source software.
- Extremely fast, compared to GitBook and other NodeJs projects.
- It hasn’t got a template engine, so you don’t have to learn a new template language. However it’s extendable via shortcodes, like WordPress.
- Can be extended with Scripting API.
- Can be extended with NodeJs, Python, PHP scripts.
- Can resize & convert pictures during build.
- Syntax highlighting is rendered during compile for Epub and printable documents.
