Editor - mdBook Documentation
Description: Create book from markdown files. Like Gitbook but implemented in Rust

# Editor

In addition to providing runnable code playgrounds, mdBook optionally allows them to be editable. In order to enable editable code blocks, the following needs to be added to the book.toml:

    [output.html.playground]
    editable = true

To make a specific block available for editing, the attribute `editable` needs to be added to it:

    ```rust,editable
    fn main() {
        let number = 5;
        print!("{}", number);
    }
    ```

The above will result in this editable playground:

    fn main() {
        let number = 5;
        print!("{}", number);
    }

Note the new `Undo Changes` button in the editable playgrounds.

## Customizing the Editor

By default, the editor is the Ace editor, but, if desired, the functionality may be overriden by providing a different folder:

    [output.html.playground]
    editable = true
    editor = "/path/to/editor"

Note that for the editor changes to function correctly, the `book.js` inside of the `theme` folder will need to be overriden as it has some couplings with the default Ace editor.
