While I would love to see a decent Jekyll workflow to work with books, this is not it.

The output looks nice enough, but there aren't even links from the table of contents to the chapters. Neither in the HTML nor the PDF version. Nor does it say what page number to find the chapter on in the PDF.

Additionally, as mentioned in the "cons" section of the article, "Chapters are spit out as one long, single page." This includes the PDF, where there aren't even page breaks at the start of new chapters.

This is no way to publish a book. Even a simple one.

Does anybody have a Jekyll theme or workflow that actually works well with books?
