# Conventions
|
||
|
||
This section explains several conventions used in this documentation.
|
||
|
||
## Symbols
|
||
|
||
This documentation use some symbols for illustration purposes. Before you read
|
||
on, please make sure you've made yourself familiar with the following list of
|
||
conventions:
|
||
|
||
### <!-- md:sponsors --> – Sponsors only { data-toc-label="Sponsors only" }
|
||
|
||
The pumping heart symbol denotes that a specific feature or behavior is only
|
||
available to sponsors via [Insiders]. Make sure that you have access to
|
||
[Insiders] if you want to use the feature.
|
||
|
||
### <!-- md:version --> – Version { data-toc-label="Version" }
|
||
|
||
The tag symbol in conjunction with a version number denotes when a specific
|
||
feature or behavior was added. Make sure you're at least on this version
|
||
if you want to use it.
|
||
|
||
### <!-- md:version insiders- --> – Version (Insiders) { data-toc-label="Version (Insiders)" }
|
||
|
||
The tag symbol with a heart in conjunction with a version number denotes that a
|
||
specific feature or behavior was added to the [Insiders] version of Material for
|
||
MkDocs.
|
||
|
||
### <!-- md:default --> – Default value { #default data-toc-label="Default value" }
|
||
|
||
Some properties in `mkdocs.yml` have default values for when the author does not
|
||
explicitly define them. The default value of the property is always included.
|
||
|
||
#### <!-- md:default computed --> – Default value is computed { #default data-toc-label="is computed" }
|
||
|
||
Some default values are not set to static values but computed form other values,
|
||
like the site language, repository provider, or other settings.
|
||
|
||
#### <!-- md:default none --> – Default value is empty { #default data-toc-label="is empty" }
|
||
|
||
Some properties do not contain default values. This means that the functionality
|
||
that is associated with them is not available unless explicitly enabled.
|
||
|
||
### <!-- md:flag metadata --> – Metadata property { #metadata data-toc-label="Metadata property" }
|
||
|
||
This symbol denotes that the thing described is a metadata property, which can
|
||
be used in Markdown documents as part of the front matter definition.
|
||
|
||
### <!-- md:feature --> – Optional feature { #feature data-toc-label="Optional feature" }
|
||
|
||
Most of the features are hidden behind feature flags, which means they must
|
||
be explicitly enabled via `mkdocs.yml`. This allows for the existence of
|
||
potentially orthogonal features.
|
||
|
||
### <!-- md:flag experimental --> – Experimental { data-toc-label="Experimental" }
|
||
|
||
Some newer features are still considered experimental, which means the ymight
|
||
(although rarely) change at any time, including their complete removal (which
|
||
hasn't happened yet).
|
||
|
||
### <!-- md:plugin --> – Plugin { data-toc-label="Plugin" }
|
||
|
||
Several features are implemented through MkDocs excellent plugin architecture,
|
||
some of which are built-in and distributed with Material for MkDocs, so no
|
||
installation is required.
|
||
|
||
### <!-- md:extension --> – Markdown extension { data-toc-label="Markdown extension" }
|
||
|
||
This symbol denotes that the thing described is a Markdown extension, which can
|
||
be enabled in `mkdocs.yml` and adds additional functionality to the Markdown
|
||
parser.
|
||
|
||
### <!-- md:flag required --> – Required value { #required data-toc-label="Required value" }
|
||
|
||
Some (very few in fact) properties or settings are required, which means the
|
||
authors must explicitly define them.
|
||
|
||
### <!-- md:flag customization --> – Customization { #customization data-toc-label="Customization" }
|
||
|
||
This symbol denotes that the thing described is a customization that must be
|
||
added by the author.
|
||
|
||
### <!-- md:utility --> – Utility { data-toc-label="Utility" }
|
||
|
||
Besides plugins, there are some utilities that build on top of MkDocs in order
|
||
to provide extended functionality, like for example support for versioning.
