Books.gen only looks for code in md files under contents folder

I'm not sure if this is intentional. The code snippets included in the index.md file are ignored. It seems

doesn't take the index.md into account.

It is sort of intentional, yes. The index.md contents are not shown in the PDF, so I didn't think it would be important to run the code from it via Books.gen. This is based on the index pages for R books, such as https://adv-r.hadley.nz/. At those pages, Hadley Wickham also doesn't show generated content on the front page.

However, it might be a good idea to allow it. What kinds of things do you want to show at the front page?

I see. I was to add an instruction on which version of Julia the book is built with. Never mind, I can just hard code it there.

But then the Julia version is not reported in the PDF. Still, there are probably situations where this issue is a good idea, so I might still implement it later.

By the way, today I was working on my own book and realized that showing code blocks and the output was super cumbersome. Checkout the newest version for some (I think) awesome changes! You can use _gen/foo_bar-sco.md now to show code and output. See the docs for more info.

Pretty nice!
