# Material for MkDocs
## Beautiful documentation
You're currently looking at a full responsive [MkDocs][] theme in the spirit of
Google's [material design][] guidelines. MkDocs is an excellent static site
documentation generator that is meant for building good looking project
documentation.

This theme is **optimized for all sorts of devices** and is built from scratch
without any bloated Javascript or CSS Frameworks with **only 24kb of JS and
CSS** (minified, gzipped and excluding Google WebFonts and Analytics). Yet, it
is highly customizable in terms of fonts, colors and gracefully supports older
browsers.
## Features
- Beautiful, readable and very user-friendly design based on Google's
**material design** guidelines, packed in a **full responsive** template
with a well-defined color palette, great typography, as well as a beautiful
search interface and footer.
- Well-tested and **optimized CSS and Javascript**, including a cross-browser
fixed/sticky header, a drawer that even works without Javascript using
the `checkbox:checked` hack with fallbacks, **responsive tables** that scroll
when the screen is too small and **well-defined print styles**.
- Extra configuration options like **project logo**, links to the authors
**GitHub and Twitter accounts** and display of the **amount of stars** the
project has on GitHub.
- **Easily extendable and customizable** due to a well-designed asset pipeline
built on-top of [Gulp][] with `npm` and `bower` and modular and abstracted
style definitions built with [SASS][].
- **Web application capability** on iOS - when the page is saved to the
homescreen, it behaves and looks like a native application.
See the [getting started guide](/getting-started) for instructions how to get
it up and running.
