    • Embedded search
    • Syntax highlighting
    • Dark theme switcher
  • Easy documentation contribution (jump to source)
  • Multi-version documentation publishing to github pages
    • Support version aliases (latest, dev, etc)
    • Support mkdocs-material version switcher without mike tool usage
  • Variables support

    }

Snapshots

Snapshots may be used through JitPack
  • Go to JitPack project page
  • Select Commits section and click Get it on commit you want to use or use master-SNAPSHOT to use the most recent snapshot

For gradle before 6.0 use buildscript block with required commit hash as version:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'ru.vyarus:gradle-mkdocs-plugin:2450c7e881'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'ru.vyarus.mkdocs'

For gradle 6.0 and above:

  • Add to settings.gradle (top most!) with required commit hash as version:

    pluginManagement {
    resolutionStrategy {
        eachPlugin {
            if (requested.id.namespace == 'ru.vyarus.mkdocs') {
                useModule('ru.vyarus:gradle-mkdocs-plugin:2450c7e881')
            }
        }
    }
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        gradlePluginPortal()          
    }
}

  • Use plugin without declaring version:

    plugins {
    id 'ru.vyarus.mkdocs'
}
