command = "python ../../mdbook-pdf"

    Update mdbook to 0.4.21 and publish to crates.io

    Would it be possible to update mdbook to version 0.4.21 and update the release on crates.io? This version contains a fix for https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/issues/1860 to enable building using Rust 1.64. In the meantime, I'm creating a patch for this in nixpkgs but would love to be able to pick it up just by updating the version.

    feature request: Generate PDF with page outlines

    I'm not sure what you mean by "outlines"?

    Maybe adding a new keyword in output.html.print, like outline = true/false

    [output.html.print]
    enable = true
    page-break = true
    outline = true # new keyword to include the 'ToC' in pdf print.
