mdbook-slide-evaluator allows you to evaluate the rendered slides. This way one can find if there is too much content on the slides and if sorted by size one can focus on the worst violations first. # How to run ## Start a WebDriver compatible browser ### Alternative: Docker Start a [selenium docker container](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start) and mount the book folder into the container at `/book/`: ``` $ docker run -d -p 4444:4444 -p 7900:7900 --volume /path/to/my/workspace/comprehensive-rust/book:/book --shm-size="2g" selenium/standalone-chromium:latest ``` As the tool is running with a different base directory, you can use a relative directory e.g., `../book/`: ``` $ cargo run -- ../book ``` ### Alternative: Local WebDriver browser with `webdriver-manager` Use [webdriver-manager](https://pypi.org/project/webdriver-manager/) to install a e.g., a `chromedriver` onto your system with: ``` $ pip install selenium webdriver-manager $ python3 from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install(), port=4444)) # end the session when you are done. ``` You can provide the absolute path here as the browser has the same view on the filesystem: ``` $ cargo run -- /path/to/my/workspace/comprehensive-rust/book ``` ## Run mdbook-slide-size If a screenshot directory is provided, the tool can also create screenshots to evaluate this manually. The tool always recursively grabs all `*.html` files from the given directory and processes it. ``` cargo run -- --screenshot-dir screenshots ../book/html/ ``` # Roadmap To avoid a `docker mount`, try to build a data uri from the given slide. This has the challenge that this contains links to local stylesheets that have to be included. `css_inline` can be used for that and this already works (kind of).
