# Awesome pages
The [mkdocs-awesome-pages-plugin][1] omits the need to specify all pages in the
`nav` entry of `mkdocs.yml` and gives you control over page visibility, titles
and order on a directory level.
!!! success "Bundled with the official Docker image"
This plugin is already installed for your convenience when you use the
official [Docker image][2], so the installation step can be skipped. Read
the [getting started guide][3] to get up and running with Docker.

## Installation
Install the plugin using `pip`:
``` sh
pip install mkdocs-awesome-pages-plugin
```
## Configuration
Add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
plugins:
- search # necessary for search to work
- awesome-pages
```
## Usage
If the `nav` entry in `mkdocs.yml` is omitted, MkDocs will automatically include
all pages in a specific order. This plugin allows for more fine-grained control
on a per-directory basis. In order to configure behavior for a specific
directory, create a YAML file named `.pages` in it and set one of the following
options.
### Setting a directory title
The directory title, which is shown as part of the navigation, can be set with:
``` yaml
title: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
```
### Changing the order of pages
The order of pages and subsections can be configured with:
``` yaml
arrange:
- page-1.md
- page-2.md
- subdirectory
```
### Excluding a directory
A directory can be hidden (i.e. excluded) with:
``` yaml
hide: true
```
### Collapsing single-page directories
Directories which contain a single page can be collapsed with:
``` yaml
collapse: true
```
