# Material <small>for MkDocs</small>
|
||
|
||
## Build beautiful documentation
|
||
|
||
Material is a theme for [MkDocs][1], an excellent static site generator geared
|
||
towards project documentation. It is built using Google's [material design][2]
|
||
guidelines, full responsive, optimized for touch and pointer devices as well
|
||
as all sorts of screen sizes.
|
||
|
||
Material is very lightweight – it is built from scratch using Javascript and
|
||
CSS that weighs less than 30kb (minified, gzipped and excluding Google Fonts
|
||
and Analytics). Yet, it is highly customizable and degrades gracefully in older
|
||
browsers.

|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
|
||
Install the latest version of Material with `pip`:
|
||
|
||
``` sh
|
||
pip install mkdocs-material
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Add the following line to your `mkdocs.yml`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
theme: 'material'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 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
|
||
and [easily customizable color palette][], great typography, as well as a
|
||
beautiful search interface and footer.
|
||
|
||
- Well-tested and optimized Javascript and CSS including a cross-browser
|
||
fixed/sticky header, a drawer that even works without Javascript using
|
||
the [checkbox hack][] with fallbacks, responsive tables that scroll when
|
||
the screen is too small and well-defined print styles.
|
||
|
||
- Extra configuration options like a [project logo][], links to the authors
|
||
[GitHub and Twitter accounts][], display of the amount of stars the
|
||
project has on GitHub and [Google Analytics integration][].
|
||
|
||
- 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.md) for instructions how to get
|
||
it up and running.
