# Getting Started

This chapter will guide you through the basics of creating content with mdBook.

## Creating Your First Chapter

To create a new chapter:

1. Create a markdown file in the `src` directory
2. Add an entry in `SUMMARY.md` to include it in the navigation
3. Run `mdbook build` to generate the HTML

## Basic Markdown Syntax

You can use standard markdown syntax in your chapters:

```markdown
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3

- List item 1
- List item 2
- List item 3

[Link text](path/to/page.md)

![Image alt text](path/to/image.jpg)
```

## Code Blocks

Code blocks get syntax highlighting:

```rust
fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}
```

```javascript
console.log("Hello, JavaScript!");
```

```python
print("Hello, Python!")
```
