Read this document in other languages:

Installation

pip install mkdocs-include-markdown-plugin

Documentation

Setup

Enable the plugin in your mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
  - include-markdown

Configuration

The global behaviour of the plugin can be customized in the configuration.

Most of the settings will define the default values passed to arguments of directives and are documented in the reference.

plugins:
  - include-markdown:
      encoding: ascii
      preserve_includer_indent: false
      dedent: false
      trailing_newlines: true
      comments: true
      rewrite_relative_urls: true
      heading_offset: 0
      start: <!--start-->
      end: <!--end-->
      recursive: true

opening_tag and closing_tag

Default opening and closing tags. When not specified they are {% and %}.

plugins:
  - include-markdown:
      opening_tag: "{!"
      closing_tag: "!}"

exclude

Global exclusion wildcard patterns. Relative paths defined here will be relative to the docs_dir directory.

plugins:
  - include-markdown:
      exclude:
        - LICENSE.md
        - api/**

cache

Expiration time in seconds for cached HTTP requests when including from URLs.

plugins:
  - include-markdown:
      cache: 600

In order to use this feature, the dependency platformdirs must be installed. You can include it in the installation of the plugin adding the cache extra:

# requirements.txt
mkdocs-include-markdown-plugin[cache]

directives

Customize the names of the directives.

plugins:
  - include-markdown:
      directives:
        include-markdown: include-md
        include: replace

Reference

This plugin provides two directives, one to include Markdown files and another to include files of any type.

Paths of included files can be either:

  • URLs to include remote content.
  • Local files:
    • Absolute paths (starting with a path separator).
    • Relative from the file that includes them (starting with ./ or ../).
    • Relative to the docs_dir directory. For instance if your docs_dir is ./docs/, then includes/header.md will match the file ./docs/includes/header.md.
  • Bash wildcard globs matching multiple local files.

File paths to include and string arguments can be wrapped by double " or single ' quotes, which can be escaped prepending them a \ character as \" and \'.

The arguments start and end may contain usual (Python-style) escape sequences like \n to match against newlines.

include-markdown

Includes Markdown files content, optionally using two delimiters to filter the content to include.

  • # start: Delimiter that marks the beginning of the content to include.
  • # end: Delimiter that marks the end of the content to include.
  • # preserve-includer-indent (true): When this option is enabled (default), every line of the content to include is indented with the same number of spaces used to indent the includer {% %} template. Possible values are true and false.
  • # dedent (false): If enabled, the included content will be dedented.
  • # exclude: Specify with a glob which files should be ignored. Only useful when passing globs to include multiple files.
  • # trailing-newlines (true): When this option is disabled, the trailing newlines found in the content to include are stripped. Possible values are true and false.
  • # recursive (true): When this option is disabled, included files are not processed for recursive includes. Possible values are true and false.
  • # encoding ('utf-8'): Specify the encoding of the included file. If not defined 'utf-8' will be used.
  • # rewrite-relative-urls (true): When this option is enabled (default), Markdown links and images in the content that are specified by a relative URL are rewritten to work correctly in their new location. Possible values are true and false.
  • # comments (false): When this option is enabled, the content to include is wrapped by <!-- BEGIN INCLUDE --> and <!-- END INCLUDE --> comments which help to identify that the content has been included. Possible values are true and false.
  • # heading-offset (0): Increases or decreases the Markdown headings depth by this number. Only supports number sign (#) heading syntax. Accepts negative values to drop leading # characters.
Examples
{%
    include-markdown "../README.md"
    start="<!--intro-start-->"
    end="<!--intro-end-->"
%}
{%
    include-markdown 'includes/header.md'
    start='<!--\n\ttable-start\n-->'
    end='<!--\n\ttable-end\n-->'
    rewrite-relative-urls=false
    comments=true
%}
{%
    include-markdown "includes/header.md"
    heading-offset=1
%}
{%
    include-markdown "../LICENSE*"
    start="<!--license \"start\" -->"
    end='<!--license "end" -->'
    exclude="../*.rst"
%}
{%
    include-markdown "**"
    exclude="./{index,LICENSE}.md"
%}
{% include-markdown '/escap\'ed/single-quotes/in/file\'/name.md' %}

include

Includes the content of a file or a group of files.

  • # start: Delimiter that marks the beginning of the content to include.
  • # end: Delimiter that marks the end of the content to include.
  • # preserve-includer-indent (true): When this option is enabled (default), every line of the content to include is indented with the same number of spaces used to indent the includer {% %} template. Possible values are true and false.
  • # dedent (false): If enabled, the included content will be dedented.
  • # exclude: Specify with a glob which files should be ignored. Only useful when passing globs to include multiple files.
  • # trailing-newlines (true): When this option is disabled, the trailing newlines found in the content to include are stripped. Possible values are true and false.
  • # recursive (true): When this option is disabled, included files are not processed for recursive includes. Possible values are true and false.
  • # encoding ('utf-8'): Specify the encoding of the included file. If not defined 'utf-8' will be used.
