Introduction

This is a newly created "book" using mdbook, with the customizations I normally use:

• Horizontal bars of varying thickness above H1, H2, and H3 headers. (See below for examples of what they look like.)

  I find this makes it easier to quickly spot the beginnings of the sections when the lines are used as separators between the sections. I also think it makes more sense to have the bars above the section headers instead of below them.

• Automatic git commit and version information at the bottom of the navigation panel on the left, and/or at the bottom of every page. (This template repo has both, so you can see what they look like.)

• A Makefile with rules to publish the HTML and other files that make up the book, either to a web server or to GitHub Pages.

https://github.com/kg4zow/mdbook-template/ contains more detail about how to use this repo.

The theme/index-template.hbs file also includes a commented-out example of how you might add a link to a page "outside" the book, at the top of the Table of Contents in the navigation panel. This could be useful if you're writing a set of books and want each one to have a link back to a common "list of books" index page.

Below this are a few example section headers, so you can see what they look like.
