Description

Question

I ported https://aya-rs.dev/book/ from mkdocs to mdbook in https://github.com/aya-rs/book/pull/258, but I noticed that there's no obvious way to have dependabot manage the mdbook version as it did for mkdocs. This is a bit inconvenient, and I was hoping there was a well-known solution to this problem.

Thanks!

Research direction

Review the migration context in aya-rs/book and pull request 258, comparing the former MkDocs setup with the current mdBook setup. Determine what Dependabot support would need to track the mdBook version; the issue does not name an mdBook file, test, or concrete implementation target.
