# readme-rustdocifier
A library for rustdocifying `README.md` for inclusion in `lib.rs`.
- Removes top-level header.
- Changes other headers to be one level higher.
- Converts package-internal `docs.rs` links to rustdoc format.
- Doesn't change anything within code blocks.
- (optional) Checks that converted links have correct version and crate name.
- No `unsafe`.
- No dependencies.
## Usage
- Add this to `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[build-dependencies]
readme-rustdocifier = "0.1.0"
```
- Create `README.md`.
- Create `build.rs` with following content:
```no_run
use std::{env, error::Error, fs, path::PathBuf};
const CRATE_NAME: &str = "your_crate_name_here";
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
println!("cargo:rerun-if-changed=README.md");
fs::write(
PathBuf::from(env::var("OUT_DIR")?).join("README-rustdocified.md"),
readme_rustdocifier::rustdocify(
&fs::read_to_string("README.md")?,
&env::var("CARGO_PKG_NAME")?,
Some(&env::var("CARGO_PKG_VERSION")?),
Some(CRATE_NAME),
)?,
)?;
Ok(())
}
```
- Add this to start of `lib.rs`:
```no_run
#![doc = include_str!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/README-rustdocified.md"))]
```
- Run `cargo doc` and see the generated documentation of your library.
## Example `README.md`
```markdown
## foo
A foo library.
### Usage
Create [`Foo::new`].
[`Foo::new`]: https://docs.rs/foo/*/foo/struct.Foo.html#method.new
```
Above `README.md` is rustdocified to:
```markdown
A foo library.
## Usage
Create [`Foo::new`].
[`Foo::new`]: crate::Foo::new
```
## Link conversions
Lines like `[...]: https://docs.rs/PACKAGE/...` are converted to rustdoc format.

## Safety
This crate doesn't use any `unsafe` code.
This is enforced by `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]`.
