Support the missing features for Rust By Example

[azerupi]

This issue serves to track the remaining issues before RBE can be ported over to mdBook.

Blockers

• #247 - Editable code snippets (through ACE?)
• Test code snippets (maybe the existing test command is sufficient, but probably not)

Nice to have

• Check for dead links
• Good error message when a file to include is not present

If I missed anything or there are other requirements that need to be added, feel free to post them below. I will update this post.

I have a feeling that it is, personally.

The requirements look good to me 👍

[mdinger]

I also approve

I've tried out mdbook test and it seems to be working fine for code blocks.

I've made two issues for the nice to haves and plan to work on them unless anyone objects. I think they're straightforward enough to implement, useful for mdBook in general, and worth doing to make @mdinger's life easier. 😄

Also, @azerupi, nitpick, but in this line: "#247 - Editable code snippets (through ACE?)", the ACE link points back to this issue, it should probably point to https://ace.c9.io/.

the ACE link points back to this issue

Oh yes, my bad! I forgot the link 😊

I am certainly not going to object 😉
