Idea: CLI tool for using rust-patterns as a manual

[simonsan]

Something for the really far future:

Build a tool that pulls in this repository and wraps it man-like, so people could actually search within these articles from the command line.

• distributable via crate.io
• cargo install mdb-reader to install, cargo install-update mdb-reader to update
• you can use the tool to search for patterns on the commandline working like man on Linux
• mdb-reader rust-patterns builder prints the builder pattern article in a nice commandline-native way
• nice to read something while developing in IDE
• could be used for other mdbooks as well, if there are multiple sources to pull data from, but would be the same basis

Basically it could be a way to read mdbooks interactively in the terminal, right? I don't think the binary should be called rust-patterns. You install this general binary, that could be used for any book. So it should be like cargo install mdb-reader or something like that.

Updated the initial comment :-) Used the name because of this repository, but you're right in that it makes sense to chose a general name from the beginning to not let people get confused over this.

Something like https://crates.io/crates/rusty-man? Or maybe we can open this in mdbook as an issue?
