# The Ixa Book
## Prerequisits
You need mdBook and the `mdbook-callouts` and `mdbook-inline-highlighting`
plugins.
```bash
cargo install mdbook mdbook-callouts mdbook-inline-highlighting
```
## Building
To build without opening it:
```bash
mdbook build
```
...or to build and then open the rendered book in your browser:
```bash
mdbook build --open
```
For authoring, use `serve` instead:
```bash
mdbook serve --open
```
> The `serve` command watches the book’s `src` directory for changes, rebuilding
> the book and refreshing clients for each change; this includes re-creating
> deleted files still mentioned in `SUMMARY.md`! A websocket connection is used
> to trigger the client-side refresh.
