# Python Markdown
Material for MkDocs supports a large number of [Python Markdown] extensions,
which is part of what makes it so attractive for technical writing. Following
is a list of all supported extensions, linking to the relevant sections of the
[reference] for what features they need to be enabled.
[Python Markdown]: https://python-markdown.github.io/

### Footnotes
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Footnotes] ·

### Markdown in HTML
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Markdown in HTML] ·
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0 present][Markdown in HTML added]
The [Markdown in HTML] extension allows the author to write Markdown inside of
HTML, which is useful for wrapping Markdown with custom markup. Enable it via
`mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- md_in_html
```
> By default, Markdown ignores any content within a raw HTML block-level
> element. With the `md_in_html` extension enabled, the content of a raw HTML
> block-level element can be parsed as Markdown by including a markdown
> attribute on the opening tag. The markdown attribute will be stripped from
> the output, while all other attributes will be preserved.
No configuration options are available. See reference for usage:
- [Image captions]
[Markdown in HTML]: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/md_in_html/
[Markdown in HTML added]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/releases/tag/0.1.0
[Image captions]: ../../reference/images.md#image-captions
### Table of Contents
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Table of Contents] ·
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0 present][Table of Contents added]
The [Table of Contents] extension generates a table of contents from a Markdown
document, which Material for MkDocs will render as part of the resulting page.
Enable it via `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- toc:
permalink: true
```
The following configuration options are supported:
`permalink`{ #permalink }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `false` This option adds an anchor link
containing the paragraph symbol `¶` or another custom symbol at the end of
each headline, exactly like on the page you're currently viewing, which
Material for MkDocs will make appear on hover:
=== "¶"
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- toc:
permalink: true
```
=== "⚓︎"
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- toc:
permalink: ⚓︎
```
`slugify`{ #slugify }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `headerid.slugify` This option allows for
customization of the slug function. For some languages, the default may not
produce good and readable identifiers consider using another slug function
like for example those from [Python Markdown Extensions][Pymdownx Slug]:
=== "Unicode"
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- toc:
slugify: !!python/name:pymdownx.slugs.uslugify
```
=== "Unicode, case-sensitive"
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- toc:
slugify: !!python/name:pymdownx.slugs.uslugify_cased
```
`toc_depth`{ #toc_depth }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `6` Define the range of levels to be
included in the table of contents. This may be useful for project
documentation with deeply structured headings to decrease the length of the
table of contents, or to remove the table of contents altogether:
=== "Hide levels 4-6"
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- toc:
toc_depth: 3
```
=== "Hide table of contents"
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- toc:
toc_depth: 0
```
[Table of Contents]: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/toc/
[Table of Contents added]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/releases/tag/0.1.0
[Pymdownx Slug]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/extras/slugs/
### Tables
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Tables] ·
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0 present][Tables added]
The [Tables] extension adds the ability to create tables in Markdown documents
by using a simple syntax. Enabled it via `mkdocs.yml` (albeit it should be
enabled by default):
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- tables
```
No configuration options are available. See reference for usage:
- [Using data tables]
- [Column alignment]
[Tables]: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/tables/
[Tables added]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/releases/tag/0.1.0
[Using data tables]: ../../reference/data-tables.md#using-data-tables
[Column alignment]: ../../reference/data-tables.md#column-alignment
## Superseded extensions
The following [Python Markdown] extensions are not (or might not be) supported
anymore, and are therefore not recommended for use. Instead, the alternatives
should be considered.
### Fenced Code Blocks
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Fenced Code Blocks] ·
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0 present][Fenced Code Blocks added]
Superseded by [SuperFences]. This extension might still work, but the
[SuperFences] extension is superior in many ways, as it allows for arbitrary
nesting, and therefore strongly recommended.
[Fenced Code Blocks]: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/fenced_code_blocks/
[Fenced Code Blocks added]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/releases/tag/0.1.0
[SuperFences]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/extensions/superfences/
### CodeHilite
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][CodeHilite] ·
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0 5.5.14][CodeHilite added]
Superseded by [Highlight]. Support for CodeHilite was dropped in version 6.0.0,
as [Highlight] has a better integration with other great extensions like
[SuperFences] and [InlineHilite].
[CodeHilite]: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/code_hilite/
[CodeHilite added]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/releases/tag/0.1.0
[Highlight]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/extensions/superfences/
[InlineHilite]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/extensions/inlinehilite/
