Features

• It's just Markdown ... — write your technical documentation in Markdown – no need to know HTML, JavaScript or CSS. Material for MkDocs will do the heavy lifting and create a beautiful and functional website.

• ... but there's more — integrates natively with Python Markdown Extensions, adding callouts, tabbed content containers, mathematical formulas, critic markup, task lists, and more than 10k icons and emojis.

• Responsive by design — built from the ground up to work on all kinds of devices – from mobile phones to widescreens. The underlying fluid layout will always adapt perfectly to the available screen space.

• Static, but searchable — almost magically, your technical documentation website will be searchable without any further ado. Material for MkDocs comes with built-in search – no server needed.

• Many configuration options — change the color palette, font families, language, icons, favicon and logo. Add a source repository link, links to your social profiles, Google Analytics and Disqus - all with a few lines of config.

• Truly international — thanks to many contributors, Material for MkDocs includes translations for more than 40 languages and offers full native RTL (right-to-left) support.

• Accessible — Material for MkDocs provides extensible keyboard navigation and semantic markup including role attributes and landmarks. Furthermore, the layout respects the user's default font size.

• Modern architecture — Material for MkDocs's underlying codebase is built on top of TypeScript, RxJS, and SCSS, bringing excellent possibilities for theme extension and customization.

Material for MkDocs uses the sponsorware release strategy, which means that new features are first exclusively released to sponsors as part of Material for MkDocs Insiders. Read on to learn how sponsorship works, and how you can become a sponsor.
