show books

The show books command displays all books defined in books.yml, including each book's name, description, and source counts.

Books aggregate static content with dynamically-generated content from EAC commands for MkDocs documentation sites.

Usage: show books


Expected Output:

  • Table with columns: Name, Output, Modules, Description, Copy (count), Cmd (count), Inline (count)
  • Each row shows a book with its source counts and which modules reference it

Output Sections

A single table with the following columns:

Column Description
Name Book identifier
Output Output directory path
Modules Modules that reference this book (first module shown, others as +N)
Description Truncated to 30 characters
Copy Number of copy sources
Cmd Number of command sources
Inline Number of inline sources

If no books are configured, prints guidance to create .eac/books.yml.
