Cannot override config of extensions appended in techdocs-core

[kunickiaj]

For example, if one wants to enable slugify on content tabs, they cant because the extension is always appended even if already configured in the user's mkdocs.yml

I saw #214 which i think intended to address this issue, but i still cant get configuration to get merged with the default atechdocs one.

mkdocs-techdocs-core/src/core.py

Line 127 in 8bc1e2a

config["markdown_extensions"].append("pymdownx.tabbed")

Have also tried

plugins:
  - techdocs-core
markdown_extensions:
  - pymdownx.extra:
      pymdownx.tabbed:
        slugify: !!python/object/apply:pymdownx.slugs.slugify
          kwds:
            case: lower

I suspect the issue is that while #214 removed the superfences plugin from the list of appended, it did not remove the others provided by pymdownx.extra still resulting in impossible configuration for those.

After some more investigation I see that the config is correctly applied in normal mkdocs serve (on 8080) even with the techdocs-core plugin added so it seems something is being stripped out (dont know if this depends on some js) but something in techdocs is preventing the generation of the slugified anchor links.

@kunickiaj which version of techdocs-cli are you using? this was only recently fixed and should be in backstage 1.31.1

[kunickiaj]

Using techdocs-core 1.4.2 and backstage 1.30.1 and whatever the latest CLI is I think.

I did try to patch around this but still had no success in the slugify tabs to work.
