Features

• It's just Markdown — write your technical documentation in plain Markdown – no need to know HTML, JavaScript, or CSS. Material for MkDocs will do the heavy lifting and convert your writing to a beautiful and functional website.

• Responsive by design — built from the ground up to work on all sorts of devices – from mobile phones to widescreens. The underlying fluid layout will always adapt perfectly to the available screen space.

• Static, yet searchable — almost magically, your technical documentation website will be searchable without any further ado. Material for MkDocs comes with built-in search – no server needed – that will instantly answer your users' queries.

• Many configuration options — change the color palette, font families, language, icons, favicon and logo. Add a source repository link, links to your social profiles, Google Analytics and Disqus - all with a few lines of code.

• Truly international — thanks to many contributors, Material for MkDocs includes translations for more than 40 languages and offers full native RTL (right-to-left) support for languages such as Arabic, Persian (Farsi) and Hebrew.

• Accessible — Material for MkDocs provides extensible keyboard navigation and semantic markup including role attributes and landmarks. Furthermore, the layout is entirely based on rem values, respecting the user's default font size.

• Beyond GitHub Markdown — integrates natively with Python Markdown Extensions, offering additional elements like callouts, tabbed content containers, mathematical formulas, critic markup, task lists, and emojis.

• Modern architecture — Material for MkDocs's underlying codebase is built with TypeScript, RxJS, and SCSS, and is compiled with Webpack, bringing excellent possibilities for theme extension and customization.
