Assuming you are a developer and -have a basic understanding of how things work and what StackOverflow is, we -won't provide guidelines on setting those up. You can verify if you're already -good to go with the following commands: - -``` sh -python --version -# Python 2.7.2 -pip --version -# pip 1.5.2 -``` - -Installing and verifying MkDocs is as simple as: - -``` sh -pip install mkdocs && mkdocs --version -# mkdocs, version 0.15.2 -``` - -### Installing Material - -Next, assuming you have MkDocs up and running `mkdocs-material` can be -installed with `pip`: - -``` sh -pip install mkdocs-material -``` - -## Usage - -If you haven't already done it, creating a new documentation project is really -simple in MkDocs: - -``` sh -mkdocs new my-project -cd my-project -``` - -MkDocs will create the necessary files and base directory structure inside the -folder `my-project`. In order to enable the theme just add the following line -to the auto-generated `mkdocs.yml`: - -``` yaml -theme: 'material' -``` - -If your project is hosted on GitHub, add the repository link to the -configuration. If the `repo_name` equals **GitHub**, the Material theme will -add a download and star button, and display the number of stars: - -``` yaml -repo_name: 'GitHub' -repo_url: 'https://github.com/my-github-handle/my-project' -``` - -MkDocs includes a development server, so you can view your changes as you go - -very handy. Spin it up with the following command: - -``` sh -mkdocs serve -``` - -Now you can go to [localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) and the Material -theme should be visible. You can now start writing your documentation, or read -on and customize the theme through some options. - -## Options - -The Material theme adds some extra variables for configuration via your -project's `mkdocs.yml`. See the following section for all available options. - -### Adding a version - -In order to add the current version next to the project banner inside the -drawer, you can set the variable `extra.version`: - -``` yaml -extra: - version: '0.1.0' -``` - -This will also change the link behind the download button to point to the -archive with the respective version on GitHub, assuming a release tagged with -this exact version identifier. - -### Adding a logo - -If your project has a logo, you can add it to the drawer/navigation by defining -the variable `extra.logo`. Ideally, the image of your logo should have -rectangular shape with a minimum resolution of 128x128 and leave some room -towards the edges. The logo will also be used as a web application icon on iOS. -Simply create the folder `docs/images`, add your image and reference it via: - -``` yaml -extra: - logo: 'images/logo.png' -``` - -### Link to GitHub releases page - -If your project has a GitHub url configured, the default behavior is that a -downlink button is displayed, linking to the source download of the given -`extra.version` or `master` branch. To link to the releases page instead, -set `extra.github.download_release` to `true`. It will link to the release of -the given `extra.version` or when no `extra.version` is given, the latest -release: - -``` yaml -repo_name: GitHub -repo_url: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material - -extra: - github: - download_release: true -``` - - -### Changing the color palette - -Material defines a default hue for every primary and accent color on Google's -material design [color palette][]. This makes it very easy to change the -overall look of the theme. Just set the variables `extra.palette.primary` and -`extra.palette.accent` to one of the colors defined in the palette: - -``` yaml -extra: - palette: - primary: 'indigo' - accent: 'light blue' -``` - -Color names can be written upper- or lowercase but must match the names of the -material design [color palette][]. Valid values are: _red_, _pink_, _purple_, -_deep purple_, _indigo_, _blue_, _light blue_, _cyan_, _teal_, _green_, _light -green_, _lime_, _yellow_, _amber_, _orange_, _deep orange_, _brown_, _grey_ and -_blue grey_. The last three colors can only be used as a primary color. - - - -If the color is set via this configuration, an additional CSS file called -`palettes.css` is included that defines the color palettes. If you want to -keep things lean, clone the repository and recompile the theme with your -custom colors set. See [this article](customization.md) for more information. - -### Changing the font family - -Material uses the [Ubuntu font family][] by default, specifically the regular -sans-serif type for text and the monospaced type for code. Both fonts are -loaded from [Google Fonts][] and can be easily changed to other fonts, like for -example Google's own [Roboto font][]: - -``` yaml -extra: - font: - text: 'Roboto' - code: 'Roboto Mono' -``` - -The text font will be loaded in font-weights 400 and **700**, the monospaced -font in regular weight. If you want to load fonts from other destinations or -don't want to use the Google Fonts loading magic, just set `extra.font` to -`'none'`: - -``` yaml -extra: - font: 'none' -``` - -### Localization - -The **Previous** and **Next** labels in the footer can easily be changed by -defining the variables `extra.i18n.prev` and `extra.i18n.next`: - -``` yaml -extra: - i18n: - prev: 'Previous' - next: 'Next' -``` - -### Adding a GitHub and Twitter account - -If you have a GitHub and/or Twitter account, you can add links to your -accounts to the drawer by setting the variables `extra.author.github` and -`extra.author.twitter` respectively: - -``` yaml -extra: - author: - github: 'my-github-handle' - twitter: 'my-twitter-handle' -``` - -### Google Analytics integration - -Material makes it easy to integrate site tracking with Google Analytics. -Besides basic tracking, clicks on all outgoing links can be tracked, clicks on -the download and star button, as well as how site search is used. Tracking can -be activated in your project's `mkdocs.yml`: - -``` yaml -google_analytics: - - 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X' - - 'auto' -``` - -### More advanced customization - -If you want to change the general appearance of the Material theme, see -[this article](customization.md) for more information on advanced customization. - -## Extensions - -MkDocs supports several [Markdown extensions][]. The following extensions are -not enabled by default (see the link for which are enabled by default), so you -have to switch them on explicitly. - -### CodeHilite (recommended) - -This extensions uses [Pygments][] (install with `pip install pygments`) to add -code highlighting to fenced code blocks. It might not be the best code -highlighter, but it works without JavaScript and on the server: - -``` yaml -markdown_extensions: - - codehilite(css_class=code) -``` - -If you want more extensive highlighting, you can use a JavaScript library like -[highlight.js][], which is not included in Material. See [this link][extra] for -further instructions - -### Permalinks - -In order to add [permalinks][] to the headers of your article, set the -`markdown_extensions.toc.permalink` variable to a symbol, e.g. `#`: - -``` yaml -markdown_extensions: - - toc: - permalink: '#' -``` - -The symbol can be chosen freely, it can even be a WebFont icon. - -### Admonition - -[Admonition][] is a handy extension that adds block-styled side content to your -documentation, for example hints, notes or warnings. It can be enabled by -setting the variable `markdown_extensions.admonition`: - -``` yaml -markdown_extensions: - - admonition -``` - -In order to add a note, use the following syntax inside your article: - -``` markdown -!!! note - Nothing to see here, move along. -``` - -This will print the following block: - -!!! note - Nothing to see here, move along. - -The Material template adds a neutral color for the `note` class and a red color -for the `warning` class. You can also add a custom title: - -``` markdown -!!! warning "Don't try this at home" - If you do, you will regret it. -``` - -This will print: - -!!! warning "Don't try this at home" - If you do, you will regret it. - -More colors can be freely defined. - -## Full example - -Below is a full example configuration for a mkdocs.yml: - -``` yaml -# Project information -site_name: 'My Project' -site_description: 'A short description of my project' -site_author: 'John Doe' -site_url: 'https://my-github-handle.github.io/my-project' - -# Repository -repo_name: 'GitHub' -repo_url: 'https://github.com/my-github-handle/my-project' - -# Copyright -copyright: 'Copyright (c) 2016 John Doe' - -# Documentation and theme -docs_dir: 'docs' -theme: 'material' - -# Options -extra: - version: '0.1.0' - logo: 'images/logo.png' - palette: - primary: 'indigo' - accent: 'light blue' - font: - text: 'Roboto' - code: 'Roboto Mono' - i18n: - prev: 'Previous' - next: 'Next' - author: - github: 'my-github-handle' - twitter: 'my-twitter-handle' - -# Google Analytics -google_analytics: - - 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X' - - 'auto' - -# Extensions -markdown_extensions: - - codehilite(css_class=code) - - admonition - - toc: - permalink: '#' -``` - -[MkDocs]: http://www.mkdocs.org -[color palette]: http://www.materialui.co/colors -[Ubuntu font family]: http://font.ubuntu.com -[Google Fonts]: https://www.google.com/fonts -[Roboto font]: https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Roboto -[Markdown extensions]: http://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/writing-your-docs/#markdown-extensions -[Pygments]: http://pygments.org -[highlight.js]: https://highlightjs.org -[extra]: http://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/styling-your-docs/#customising-a-theme -[permalinks]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permalink -[Admonition]: https://pythonhosted.org/Markdown/extensions/admonition.html
