gitbook 在编译书籍的时候会读取书籍源码顶层目录中的 book.js
或者 book.json
,这里以 book.json
为例,参考 gitbook 文档 可以知道,book.json
支持如下配置:
{
// Folders to use for output
// Caution: it overrides the value from the command line
// It's not advised this option in the book.json
"output": null,
// Generator to use for building
// Caution: it overrides the value from the command line
// It's not advised this option in the book.json
"generator": "site",
// Book metadats (somes are extracted from the README by default)
"title": null,
"description": null,
"isbn": null,
// For ebook format, the extension to use for generation (default is detected from output extension)
// "epub", "pdf", "mobi"
// Caution: it overrides the value from the command line
// It's not advised this option in the book.json
"extension": null,
// Plugins list, can contain "-name" for removing default plugins
"plugins": [],
// Global configuration for plugins
"pluginsConfig": {
"fontSettings": {
"theme": "sepia", "night" or "white",
"family": "serif" or "sans",
"size": 1 to 4
}
},
// Variables for templating
"variables": {},
// Links in template (null: default, false: remove, string: new value)
"links": {
// Custom links at top of sidebar
"sidebar": {
"Custom link name": "https://customlink.com"
},
// Sharing links
"sharing": {
"google": null,
"facebook": null,
"twitter": null,
"weibo": null,
"all": null
}
},
// Options for PDF generation
"pdf": {
// Add page numbers to the bottom of every page
"pageNumbers": false,
// Font size for the fiel content
"fontSize": 12,
// Paper size for the pdf
// Choices are [u’a0’, u’a1’, u’a2’, u’a3’, u’a4’, u’a5’, u’a6’, u’b0’, u’b1’, u’b2’, u’b3’, u’b4’, u’b5’, u’b6’, u’legal’, u’letter’]
"paperSize": "a4",
// Margin (in pts)
// Note: 72 pts equals 1 inch
"margin": {
"right": 62,
"left": 62,
"top": 36,
"bottom": 36
},
//Header HTML template. Available variables: _PAGENUM_, _TITLE_, _AUTHOR_ and _SECTION_.
"headerTemplate": null,
//Footer HTML template. Available variables: _PAGENUM_, _TITLE_, _AUTHOR_ and _SECTION_.
"footerTemplate": null
}
}
注意:上面的内容直接从 gitbook 文档 中复制,所以可能过期!
首先,将这个文件放到书籍代码顶层目录中,命名为 book.json
,然后编译书籍:
$ gitbook build
可以看到,编译完成,使用
$ gitbook serve
然后将浏览器指向 http://127.0.0.1:4000
,可以看到,什么都没有改变!
是的,虽然这里 book.json
文件非法,但是 gitbook build
并没有报错!所以,用户需要自己准备工具来保证 book.json
必须是一个合法的 JSON 文件,并且不能含有非法配置项。
首先,删除注释项,以及空行,如果是在 vim 中,可以执行下面的命令:
:%g/\s*\/\//d
:%g/^\s*$/d
然后,使用 python 来检查 book.json 是否合法,同样,在 vim 中执行下面的命令:
:%!python -m json.tool
很显然,下面的配置不能通过,所以删去(注:但是默认主题却是使用的这个配置!)。
"pluginsConfig": {
"fontSettings": {
"theme": "sepia", "night" or "white",
"family": "serif" or "sans",
"size": 1 to 4
}
},
最后,剩下的内容如下:
{
"description": null,
"extension": null,
"generator": "site",
"isbn": null,
"links": {
"sharing": {
"all": null,
"facebook": null,
"google": null,
"twitter": null,
"weibo": null
},
"sidebar": {}
},
"output": null,
"pdf": {
"fontSize": 12,
"footerTemplate": null,
"headerTemplate": null,
"margin": {
"bottom": 36,
"left": 62,
"right": 62,
"top": 36
},
"pageNumbers": false,
"paperSize": "a4"
},
"plugins": [],
"title": null,
"variables": {}
}
现在,修改一些配置,修改后为:
{
"author": "Chengwei Yang <me@chengweiyang.cn>",
"description": "This is a sample book created by gitbook",
"extension": null,
"generator": "site",
"isbn": null,
"links": {
"sharing": {
"all": null,
"facebook": null,
"google": null,
"twitter": null,
"weibo": null
},
"sidebar": {
"Chengwei's Blog": "http://www.chengweiyang.cn"
}
},
"output": null,
"pdf": {
"fontSize": 12,
"footerTemplate": null,
"headerTemplate": null,
"margin": {
"bottom": 36,
"left": 62,
"right": 62,
"top": 36
},
"pageNumbers": false,
"paperSize": "a4"
},
"plugins": [],
"title": "Sample GitBook",
"variables": {}
}
现在,重新编译书籍,预览效果,如下图所示:
可以看到,书籍的标题变成了 “Sample GitBook”,而且在左边的导航栏中添加了一个链接!
需要注意的是:GitBook.com 上的书籍标题经试验不能通过配置 book.json
的方式修改 title
,需要在书籍的属性页面中的 ‘Settings’ 中进行修改!
