Research direction

Start by reading SUMMARY.md and the existing source .md files to understand their chapter structure and title format. Then determine how a Python tool would identify missing sections and place them in the appropriate chapter; done means newly added source files are represented in SUMMARY.md without disturbing existing ordering.

Description

enhancement

Add new sections by GitbookIO editor is quite simple, but sometimes you may forget to add sections in SUMMARY.md.

It is easy to parse the title of source .md files and add it to the appropriate chapter position. I will implement this feature with Python.
