I needed to run the docs locally and ran into this error when following
the [docs
README.md](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/docs/README.md).
```
Error: Found 27 errors in docs
2026-04-01 10:15:39 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Error: The "zed_docs_preprocessor" preprocessor exited unsuccessfully with exit status: 1 status
```
It turns out I needed to run `script/generate-action-metadata` first.
This PR adds that step to the doc.

Closes #ISSUE
Adds basic frontmatter support to `.md` files in docs. The only
supported keys currently are `description` which becomes a `<meta
name="description" contents="...">` tag, and `title` which becomes a
normal `title` tag, with the title contents prefixed with the subject of
the file.
An example of the syntax can be found in `git.md`, as well as below
```md
---
title: Some more detailed title for this page
description: A page-specific description
---
# Editor
```
The above will be transformed into (with non-relevant tags removed)
```html
<head>
<title>Editor | Some more detailed title for this page</title>
<meta name="description" contents="A page-specific description">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Editor</h1>
</body>
```
If no front-matter is provided, or If one or both keys aren't provided,
the title and description will be set based on the `default-title` and
`default-description` keys in `book.toml` respectively.
## Implementation details
Unfortunately, `mdbook` does not support post-processing like it does
pre-processing, and only supports defining one description to put in the
meta tag per book rather than per file. So in order to apply
post-processing (necessary to modify the html head tags) the global book
description is set to a marker value `#description#` and the html
renderer is replaced with a sub-command of `docs_preprocessor` that
wraps the builtin `html` renderer and applies post-processing to the
`html` files, replacing the marker value and the `<title>(.*)</title>`
with the contents of the front-matter if there is one.
## Known limitations
The front-matter parsing is extremely simple, which avoids needing to
take on an additional dependency, or implement full yaml parsing.
* Double quotes and multi-line values are not supported, i.e. Keys and
values must be entirely on the same line, with no double quotes around
the value.
The following will not work:
```md
---
title: Some
Multi-line
Title
---
```
* The front-matter must be at the top of the file, with only white-space
preceding it
* The contents of the title and description will not be html-escaped.
They should be simple ascii text with no unicode or emoji characters

This was done as part of experimental work towards better validation of
our docs. The validation ended up being not worth it, however, I believe

Temporarily revert #16700 to deal with this error:
`error: manifest path `../crates/docs_preprocessor/Cargo.toml` does not
exist` as it was causing the docs-preprocessor not to run, meaning
unexpanded templates were showing up in the public docs.
Reverts zed-industries/zed#16700
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR adds a mdbook preprocessor for supporting Zed's docs.
This initial version adds the following custom commands:
**Keybinding**
`{#kb prefix::action_name}` (e.g. `{#kb zed::OpenSettings}`)
Outputs a keybinding template like `<kbd
class="keybinding">{macos_keybinding}|{linux_keybinding}</kbd>`. This
template is processed on the client side through `mdbook` to show the
correct keybinding for the user's platform.
**Action**
`{#action prefix::action_name}` (e.g. `{#action zed::OpenSettings}`)
For now, simply outputs the action name in a readable manner. (e.g.
zed::OpenSettings -> zed: open settings)
In the future we'll add additional modes for this template, like create
a standard way to render `{action} ({keybinding})`.
## Example Usage
```
To open the assistant panel, toggle the right dock by using the {#action workspace::ToggleRightDock} action in the command palette or by using the
{#kb workspace::ToggleRightDock} shortcut.
```
Release Notes:

To ease navigating on pages that are long and having a birds-eye view of
all the available content.
This is done client-side and done via the files initially generated by
the `mdbook-pagetoc` plugin ([crates.io link
here](https://crates.io/crates/mdbook-pagetoc)).
