A modular and fully featured wiki powered by mdBook, GitHub Pages and pull-requests!

Features

• No databases! Only static files—lightweight and fast to deploy
• Markdown-based content with full Git history and version control
• Offline capable—download the entire wiki and read it locally
• Custom theming with Rust-based mdBook preprocessing
• DMI Sprite support for game entity visualization
• Multiple preprocessors—admonitions, emoji codes, template expansion, and more
• Simple Git workflow—edit files directly or via GitHub web editor

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Rust & Cargo (for mdBook)
• Node.js (optional, for preprocessor scripts)

Building the Wiki

Install mdBook and dependencies:

cargo install mdbook

Build the static site:

mdbook build

The compiled wiki will be in book/html/.

Local Development

Serve the wiki locally with live reloading:

mdbook serve

Open your browser to http://localhost:3000 and changes will auto-refresh.

Editing the Wiki

1. Fork & clone the repository
2. Create a branch for your changes
3. Edit markdown files in src/
4. Test locally with mdbook serve
5. Commit & push, then open a pull request

See CONTRIBUTING.md for detailed guidelines.

Configuration

Edit book.toml to modify:

• Theme—Default and dark theme settings
• Preprocessors—Admonitions, emoji codes, template expansion
• Additional CSS/JS—Custom styling and functionality
• Features—Syntax highlighting, MathJax support, etc.

Preprocessors

The wiki uses several mdBook preprocessors:

• admonish—Note, warning, and info boxes
• emojicodes—Emoji shorthand support
• template—Template expansion in markdown
• embedify—Content embedding

Troubleshooting

DMI Sprites not rendering?

The wiki must be served via HTTP (not file://). Use mdbook serve for local testing or host via GitHub Pages.

Build errors?

Ensure you have the latest mdBook version:

cargo install mdbook --upgrade

Clear the build cache and rebuild:

rm -rf book/
mdbook build
