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.

Material Screenshot

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 :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 for instructions how to get it up and running.
