Material for MkDocs Configurator

Screenshot of Material for MkDocs Configurator

Motivation

This tool provides an intuitive interface for configuring your Material for MkDocs site without having to manually edit the config. It allows you to:

  • Visually customize your Material for MkDocs theme
  • Preview changes in real-time
  • Export your configuration as a ready-to-use mkdocs.yml file
  • Save time on theme configuration and focus on your documentation content

I found that, while an excellent and thorough reference, the Material for MkDocs documentation sometimes is a bit too much, as in:

  • There might be features useful to you within Material for MkDocs, but you never come across them in the docs.
  • There might be some incompatibilities between available features

This configuration UI surfaces all available options, plugins, and features grouped by category, and takes care of racing conditions or incompatibilities.

Note

This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Material for MkDocs in any way. It is an independent tool created to help users configure their Material for MkDocs sites more easily.
