):Process notebooks in path for docs rendering
Create README.md from readme_nb (index.ipynb by default). Skips if the file doesn’t exist.
nbdev-readme calls “quarto render,” which is explained in the Quarto guide here.
Pandoc’s gfm writer hard-wraps prose at 72 columns by default; -M wrap:preserve keeps each paragraph’s line breaks exactly as authored in the notebook instead.
Only the readme notebook itself is processed (plus non-notebook assets like images), so building the README never executes code from the project’s other notebooks; and if the readme notebook doesn’t exist, the command just returns.
Create CONTRIBUTING.md from contributing_nb (defaults to ‘contributing.ipynb’ if present). Skips if the file doesn’t exist.
Quarto’s quarto-nav.js rewrites /index.html links to / for clean URLs, but the regex is unanchored, so on a site’s index page it also mangles the “Other Formats” CommonMark link: index.html.md becomes .md (quarto-dev/quarto-cli#14667). _fix_quarto_nav anchors the regex in the rendered site’s copy of the script. Once quarto fixes it upstream, the pattern no longer matches and this becomes a no-op.

nbdev-docs renders website pages in parallel. --n-workers defaults to the CPU count; use --n-workers 1 for serial rendering. Each worker renders a batch in its own project copy. The combined site retains page assets, navigation, search and sitemap entries. Books, Quarto-generated llms.txt, and projects with pre/post-render hooks use a single Quarto process.
The renderer lives in the hand-written nbdev/quarto_render.py. Its integration test uses real Quarto to compare serial and parallel sites and check incremental updates.
nbdev-docs builds only the website. It never regenerates README.md or CONTRIBUTING.md. Rendering the readme notebook again, as GitHub Markdown, would leave the site’s homepage without its HTML figures. nbdev-prepare, nbdev-readme and nbdev-contributing regenerate those files.
nbdev-preview keeps its own copy of the site in the _proc cache, rendering new or changed pages on startup and as you edit; it doesn’t change doc_path. When the cache has no site it starts from a copy of the one in doc_path, so unchanged pages from the last nbdev-docs run aren’t rendered again. With neither, it builds all pages in parallel using the same --n-workers setting as nbdev-docs. Use nbdev-preview --render to rebuild everything, including changes to shared configuration or filters.
