The guide itself is great.

But I really dislike these markdown books used by many rust projects. I wish they just had an option to download it as a PDF, so that I could archive them. The printing button really isn't good enough for that. I mean if everything is already neatly renderd to HTML like that, how hard could it realistically be to also create a good looking PDF version...

Just wondering, what value do you get out of this? I used to like having a hardcopy of these kinds of things, especially when I used to have a much smaller monitor.

But these subjects evolve so fast, that having a bunch of .deadtrees lying around just become a nuisance.

If all I want is some form of archive to look back on later, a bunch of .md files seems perfect.

Not a 100% perfect solution, but you can click the little printer icon in the top right corner and then print to PDF from your browser.
