This is primarily to allow third party themes which inherit from the
mkdocs theme (such as the bootswatch themes) to alter the code
highlighting style. Previously all of the themes hosted their own
highlighting styles, but now that we are using the CDN, it is easier to
use a setting, which downstream themes can override.
In both built-in themes, the default next/prev shortcut keys were
changed from arrows to n/p as the arrows conflict with common browser
accessibility extensions.
In the mkdocs theme, users can now configure the shortcuts to whatever
they want. Note that these config options are theme specific. The
readthedocs theme does not get these options as they are not available
on the parent theme.
Fixes#1502
If the frontmatter is surrounded by YAML deliminators, then it is parsed
as YAML. Otherwise it is parsed as MultiMarkdown meta-data and each
value is returned as a joined string.
Closes#1471.
The built-in themes now include support for enabling/disabling
highlight.js. They also use a CDN to load the files. As the CDN only
includes 23 languages, a second setting to support more languages
is included.
If a user wishes to use a different tool for highlighting, they can
"disable" highlight.js and then use extra_css and/or extra_javasript
to add support for their tool of choice.
This relimplements #1272 on the current code in master. Thanks to
@funkyfuture for the original work on this.
Also removes some unused code after #1504.
Closes#1272.
Internal handling of pages, files and navigation has been completely refactored.
The changes included in the refactor are summarized below.
* Support for hidden pages. All Markdown pages are now included in the build
regardless of whether they are included in the navigation configuration
(fixes#699).
* The navigation can now include links to external sites (fixes#989, fixes#1373,
& fixes#1406).
* Page data (including titles) is properly determined for all pages before any
page is rendered (fixes#1347).
* Automatically populated navigation now sorts index pages to the top. In other
words, The index page will be listed as the first child of a directory, while
all other documents are sorted alphanumerically by file name after the index
page (fixes#73 & fixes#1042).
* A `README.md` file is now treated as an index file within a directory and
will be rendered to `index.html` (fixes#608).
* The URLs for all files are computed once and stored in a files collection.
This ensures all internal links are always computed correctly regardless of
the configuration. This also allows all internal links to be validated, not
just links to other Markdown pages. (fixes#842 & fixes#872).
* An `on_files` plugin event has been added, which could be used to include
files not in the `docs_dir`, exclude files, redefine page URLs (i.e.
implement extensionless URLs), or to manipulate files in various other ways.
Backward incompatible changes are highlighted in the release notes included
with this commit. Some notes regarding various decisions follow in no particular
order:
This started out as the contents of the 'structure' dir from @tomchristie's
work in #689.
All paths must be all Unicode all the time. When a byte string and a
Unicode string are both passed to os.path (join ect) then returned value
is always a byte string. Therefore, we need every path string to be
Unicode. This ensures validation checks that and if the byte string uses
the file system encoding, decodes it. For any other encoding, a
validation error is raised.
Paths which start with a slash are assumed to be relative to the
docs_dir root. This behavior fixes#192. However, the slash not being
present in the output may surprise some users who are trying to create a
link relative to the server root when the mkdocs root is not at the
server root. The URLs available on a page are:
* Page.url is the url relative to the site_dir
* Page.canonical_url is the relative url joined with site_url or None if
site_url is not defined (the default).
* Page.abs_url is the path component of the canonical url or None if
canonical_url is None.
Note that new behavior is slightly different than before. Previously
abs_url ignored site_url and was always url with '' prepended. With the
new behavior, if site_url includes a subdir, that subdir will be
included in the abs_url.
When not on a server, there is no sensable "absolute_url" for a page.
Therefore, we shouldn't try to define one.
The thinking is that users generating docs to be browsed in the local
file system (`file://`) should leave the site_url setting unset, while
users who will be serving their docs from a server should be setting the
site_url. And if the site_url point sot a subdir of the server, the
abs_url will stil be absolute from the server root as it uses the "path"
of the canonical_url of the page.
Note that without the magical url context all URLs must be prepended by
`{{ base_url }}/` in the templates. While this requires a change in
third party themes, it is more consistent.
Links being ignored in raw HTML is now documented. Fixes#991.
All related tests that require temp dirs use the `mkdocs.tests.base.tempdir`
decorator. Note that any unrelated tests have not yet been updated.
That can happen separately from this. The one test in
`mkdocs.tests.structure.page_tests` (test_BOM) is unique enough to
not use the decorator.
Fixes#782. Note that we mock Markdown in the tests to ensure those
tests are not using Markdown to validate the extension names. We don't
mock Markdown in the tests which we do want Markdown to validate the
extension names.
Also ensure project-min has all relevant extensions.
Note that the icons in the themes will not show up until FontAwesome is
updated to at least version 4.6 and/or an up-to-date version of the
upstream readthedocs css is imported.
This commit also fixes a slight documentation error regarding the
default value of `repo_name` and removes some tautological tests.
* Use a web worker in the browser with a fallback (fixes#859 & closes#1396).
* Optionally pre-build search index (fixes#859 & closes#1061).
* Upgrade to lunr.js 2.x (fixes#1319).
* Support search in languages other than English (fixes#826).
* Allow the user to define the word separators (fixes#867).
* Only run searches for queries of length > 2 (fixes#1127).
* Remove dependency on require.js, mustache, etc. (fixes#1218).
* Compress the search index (fixes#1128).
Present the sections in a logical manner:
1. File Layout (where to save documents)
* Configure Navigation...
2. Writing with Markdown
* Supported extensions...
Added documentation for all included extensions. Also added some basic
information about Markdown; pointing to the implementation and rules.
Fixes#1385, fixes#316, and fixes#1172.
The warning for missing files should only be issued if the config
setting is empty. The warning only exists because we disabled
autopopulating of the settings. Autopopulating only used to run
when the setting was empty so the warning is not nessecary if
the setting has been populated.
Given the above, no string comparisons need to be made as we
only need to check if any files exist when empty. Therefore, we
don't actually need to normalize paths. As we are no longer
modifying users' strings, they can again put any string in their
config, such as URLs of CDNs.
Fixes#1335 & #1336.
