I think it's pretty common for 3rd party backends to expose some sort of
--standalone
flag so you could (for example) runmdbook-linkcheck --standalone user-guide
to load the book and execute just that renderer.Exposing the
MDBook::execute_build_process()
means we can replace this manual construction of aRenderContext
and invoking the rendering system:With something like this:
EDIT: Looking more closely, I think
mdbook-linkcheck
isn't even doing things correctly here. We forget to run all applicable preprocessors over the book because it's trying to execute the rendering pipeline manually.
