Build books (compatible with existing GitBooks!) with next-mdx-books

[MatthewCaseres]

I loaded a TypeScript book to my site to demonstrate our GitBook compatibility.

The routes are generated in Next.js with dynamic routes using some utility functions from a package I made, https://www.npmjs.com/package/next-mdx-books.

We support:

• Content is entirely separate from source code, mdx is loaded via next-mdx-remote from a repository containing only markdown.
• Adding a new book is as simple as adding a URL to a configuration.
• load files with or without h2 tags in the side navigation (compatibility with BOTH legacy and modern style GitBooks)
• loading files locally (for developtment) or from raw.githubusercontent.com
• provide links to source code on GitHub from each page

Plans to build a library of educational components and use overridden code blocks with YAML configurations within.
