As original mdbook, books provided by mdbooksharp is organized into chapters.

There are several methods for navigating through the chapters of a book.
The sidebar on the left provides a list of all chapters. Clicking on any of the chapter titles will load that page.
The sidebar may not automatically appear if the window is too narrow, particularly on mobile displays. In that situation, the menu icon (three horizontal bars) at the top-left of the page can be pressed to open and close the sidebar.
The arrow buttons at the bottom of the page can be used to navigate to the previous or the next chapter.
The left and right arrow keys on the keyboard can be used to navigate to the previous or the next chapter.

The menu bar at the top of the page provides some icons for interacting with the book, but less than original mdbook.

After loading a search result, the matching search terms will be highlighted in the text. Clicking a highlighted word or pressing the Escape key will remove the highlighting.
