+This section explains several conventions used in this documentation.
+
+## Symbols
+
+This documentation use some symbols for illustration purposes. Before you read
+on, please make sure you've made yourself familiar with the following list of
+conventions:
+
+### <!-- md:sponsors --> – Sponsors only { data-toc-label="Sponsors only" }
+
+The pumping heart symbol denotes that a specific feature or behavior is only
+available to sponsors via [Insiders]. Make sure that you have access to
+[Insiders] if you want to use the feature.
+
+### <!-- md:version --> – Version { data-toc-label="Version" }
+
+The tag symbol in conjunction with a version number denotes when a specific
+feature or behavior was added. Make sure you're at least on this version
+if you want to use it.
+
+### <!-- md:version insiders- --> – Version (Insiders)  { data-toc-label="Version (Insiders)" }
+
+The tag symbol with a heart in conjunction with a version number denotes that a
+specific feature or behavior was added to the [Insiders] version of Material for
+MkDocs.
+
+### <!-- md:default --> – Default value { #default data-toc-label="Default value" }
+
+Some properties in `mkdocs.yml` have default values for when the author does not
+explicitly define them. The default value of the property is always included.
+
+#### <!-- md:default computed --> – Default value is computed { #default data-toc-label="is computed" }
+
+Some default values are not set to static values but computed form other values,
+like the site language, repository provider, or other settings.
+
+#### <!-- md:default none --> – Default value is empty { #default data-toc-label="is empty" }
+
+Some properties do not contain default values. This means that the functionality
+that is associated with them is not available unless explicitly enabled.
+
+### <!-- md:feature --> – Optional feature { #feature data-toc-label="Optional feature" }
+
+Most of the features are hidden behind feature flags, which means they must
+be explicitly enabled via `mkdocs.yml`. This allows for the existence of
+potentially orthogonal features.
+
+### <!-- md:flag experimental --> – Experimental { data-toc-label="Experimental" }
+
+Some newer features are still considered experimental, which means the ymight
+(although rarely) change at any time, including their complete removal (which
+hasn't happened yet).
+
+### <!-- md:plugin --> – Plugin { data-toc-label="Plugin" }
+
+Several features are implemented through MkDocs excellent plugin architecture,
+some of which are built-in and distributed with Material for MkDocs, so no
+installation is required.
+
+### <!-- md:utility --> – Utility { data-toc-label="Utility" }
+
+Besides plugins, there are some utilities that build on top of MkDocs in order
+to provide extended functionality, like for example support for versioning.

+# Built-in group plugin
+
+The group plugin allows to group plugins into logical units to conditionally
+enable or disable them for specific environments with the use of
+[environment variables][mkdocs.env], e.g., to only enable a subset of
+plugins when [building your project] during continuous integration (CI).
+
+  [building your project]: ../creating-your-site.md#building-your-site
+
+## Objective
+
+### How it works
+
+The plugin conditionally and lazily loads all plugins that are part of a group
+if and only if the group is enabled, which means that the plugin doesn't add any
+overhead when the group is disabled. It also means that the grouped plugins
+only need to be installed when the group is enabled.
+
+The plugins that are part of the group are executed in the same order as if
+they were defined at the top-level in the list of [`plugins`][mkdocs.plugins].
+Thus, order is preserved and deterministic.
+
+### When to use it
+
+Whenever you're using multiple plugins that are only required in specific
+environments, e.g., when building your project during continuous integration
+(CI), the plugin is the perfect utility for making configuration simpler, as it
+removes the need for splitting configuration into multiple files.
+
+It can be used with any built-in or third-party plugin.
+
+## Configuration
+
+<!-- md:version 9.3.0 -->
+<!-- md:plugin [group] – built-in -->
+<!-- md:flag multiple -->
+<!-- md:flag experimental -->
+
+As with all [built-in plugins], getting started with the group plugin is
+straightforward. Just add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`, and start
+splitting plugins into logical units:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - group
+```
+
+The group plugin is built into Material for MkDocs and doesn't need to be
+installed.
+
+  [group]: group.md
+  [built-in plugins]: index.md
+
+### General
+
+The following settings are available:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.enabled -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.2.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `false` -->
+
+Use this setting to enable or disable the plugin when [building your project].
+The plugin behaves differently than all other built-in plugins – __it is
+disabled by default__. To enable a group, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - group:
+      enabled: !ENV CI # (1)!
+```
+
+1.  If you only want to use the group plugin for better organization and
+    always want to enable the plugins that are part of it, use:
+
+    ``` yaml
+    plugins:
+      - group:
+          enabled: true
+    ```
+
+The decision to disable the plugin by default was made to simplify the usage
+of environment variables, as it removes the need to provide a default value for
+an environment variable.
+
+Now, when [building your project], you can enable a group by setting the
+[environment variable][mkdocs.env]:
+
+``` sh
+CI=true mkdocs build
+```
+
+  [building your project]: ../creating-your-site.md#building-your-site
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.plugins -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.2.0 -->
+<!-- md:default none -->
+
+Use this setting to list the plugins that are part of the group. The syntax is
+exactly the same as for the [`plugins`][mkdocs.plugins] setting, so you can
+simply copy the list of plugins that you want to group, e.g:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - group:
+      plugins:
+        - optimize
+        - minify
+```

+The plugins mentioned here are just used for illustration purposes.

+# Built-in plugins
+
+Material for MkDocs started out as a theme for [MkDocs][mkdocs], but has since
+evolved into a full-fledged framework for building and maintaining documentation.
+The theme is still the core of the project, but it's now accompanied by a
+growing number of complementary built-in plugins.
+
+We strive to make those plugins as modular and generic as possible, so that they
+can be used in a wide variety of projects and use cases. By providing useful
+default settings, we also try to make them as easy to use as possible, so that
+you can get started quickly, tweaking their settings later on. When
+developing built-in plugins, we always adhere to the following design principles:
+
+- **Modularity:** Built-in plugins are designed to be modular, so that they can
+  be easily combined to implement sophisticated pipelines. For example, the
+  [offline], [optimize] and [privacy] plugins can be used together to build
+  truly [offline-capable documentation].
+
+- **Interoperability:** Built-in plugins are designed to be as compatible as
+  possible, so they can be used in combination with other plugins, including
+  third-party plugins. We strive to make it simple to integrate with the vast
+  ecosystem that has evolved around [MkDocs][mkdocs].
+
+- **Performance:** Built-in plugins are designed to be as fast and
+  memory-efficient as possible, so that they don't unnecessarily slow down
+  builds. This is particularly important for large documentation projects with
+  thousands of pages.

+
+### Management
+
+The following plugins greatly improve the authoring experience when working on
+documentation projects by providing better management capabilities, from the
+management of plugins, multiple projects, and metadata, to the creation of
+minimal reproductions for bug reports:
+
+<div class="grid cards" markdown>
+
+-   :material-format-list-group: &nbsp; __[Built-in group plugin][group]__

+
+-   :material-connection: &nbsp; __[Built-in offline plugin][offline]__
+
+    ---

+# Built-in info plugin
+
+The info plugin is a utility that is solely intended to create self-contained
+[minimal reproductions] as `.zip` files when [reporting bugs] or proposing
+[change requests], making communication between us maintainers and you much
+easier, as we have a common ground to work on.
+
+  [minimal reproductions]: ../guides/creating-a-reproduction.md
+  [reporting bugs]: ../contributing/reporting-a-bug.md
+  [change requests]: ../contributing/requesting-a-change.md
+
+## Objective
+
+### How it works
+
+The plugin helps you to prepare a minimal reproduction by collecting the
+necessary information about the environment and configuration of your project.
+This makes it easier for us to fix bugs, as it requires that you
+[upgrade to the latest version] and [remove your customizations].
+
+When following these principles, you can be confident that you don't report a
+bug that has already been fixed in a subsequent release, or which is caused by
+one of your customizations. Even more importantly, you actively help
+us to fix the bug as quickly as possible.
+
+The output of the plugin is a `.zip` file that you can share with us maintainers.
+
+  [Upgrade to the latest version]: ../contributing/reporting-a-bug.md#upgrade-to-latest-version
+  [Remove your customizations]: ../contributing/reporting-a-bug.md#remove-customizations
+
+
+### When to use it
+
+Whenever you're [reporting a bug][reporting bugs] or have something to discuss,
+like a question or [change request][change requests], you should attach
+a small, self-contained minimal reproduction. Runnable examples help to make
+communication much more efficient, giving us maintainers more time to benefit
+more users by pushing the project forward. Minimal reproductions are mandatory
+for bug reports.
+
+## Configuration
+
+<!-- md:version 9.0.0 -->
+<!-- md:plugin [info] – built-in -->
+
+In order to get started with the built-in info plugin, just add the following
+lines to `mkdocs.yml`, and quickly [create a minimal reproduction] to share
+with us maintainers:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - info
+```
+
+The info plugin is built into Material for MkDocs and doesn't need to be
+installed.
+
+  [info]: info.md
+  [create a minimal reproduction]: ../guides/creating-a-reproduction.md
+
+### General
+
+The following settings are available:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.enabled -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.0.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to enable or disable the plugin when [building your project].
+It's normally not necessary to specify this setting, but if you want to disable
+the plugin, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - info:
+      enabled: false
+```
+
+  [building your project]: ../creating-your-site.md#building-your-site
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.enabled_on_serve -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.0.6 -->
+<!-- md:default `false` -->
+
+Use this setting to control whether the plugin should be enabled when
+[previewing your site]. It's normally not necessary to specify this setting,
+but if you want to change this behavior, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - info:
+      enabled_on_serve: true
+```
+
+This setting streamlines the process of creating and inspecting minimal
+reproductions, as it allows to quickly iterate on the reproduction without
+having to disable the plugin first.
+
+  [previewing your site]: ../creating-your-site.md#previewing-as-you-write
+
+### Archive
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.archive -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.0.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to control whether the plugin should create a `.zip` file
+from the project or exit after the version check. This setting is solely
+intended for debugging the plugin itself:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - info:
+      archive: false
+```
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.archive_stop_on_violation -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.0.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to control whether the plugin should stop creating the `.zip`
+file when one of the [requirements] is not satisfied. This setting must only be
+used when [reporting a bug][reporting bugs] that is related to a customization
+[explicitly mentioned in our documentation]. You can change it with:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - info:
+      archive_stop_on_violation: false
+```
+
+If you're using this setting when [reporting a bug][reporting bugs], please
+explain why you think it is necessary to include customizations. If you're
+unsure, please ask us first by [creating a discussion].

+title: Built-in meta plugin

+---
+
+# Built-in meta plugin
+
+The meta plugin solves the problem of setting metadata (front matter) for all
+pages in a folder, i.e., a subsection of your project, which is particularly
+useful to ensure that a certain subset of pages features specific tags, uses a
+custom template, or is attributed to an author.
+
+## Objective
+
+### How it works
+
+The plugin scans the [`docs` directory][mkdocs.docs_dir] for `.meta.yml` files,
+and recursively merges the contents of those files with the metadata (front
+matter) of all pages that are contained in the same folder and all subfolders.
+For example, if you want to add the tag <span class="md-tag">Example</span> to
+multiple pages, use:
+
+``` yaml title=".meta.yml"
+tags:
+  - Example
+```
+
+Now, given the following directory layout, if you store the file in the folder
+named `example`, all pages in that folder receive the tag, while all pages
+outside of the folder remain unaffected:
+
+``` { .sh .no-copy hl_lines="4-8" }
+.
+├─ docs/
+│  ├─ ...
+│  ├─ example/
+│  │  ├─ .meta.yml
+│  │  ├─ a.md
+│  │  ├─ ...
+│  │  └─ z.md
+│  └─ ...
+└─ mkdocs.yml
+```
+
+When combining metadata, lists and dictionaries are recursively merged, which
+means you can append values to a list and add or set specific properties in a
+dictionary on arbitrary levels.
+
+### When to use it
+
+While the plugin itself doesn't offer much functionality beyond adding and
+merging metadata, it is a perfect companion for many of the other built-in
+plugins that Material for MkDocs offers. Some of the most powerful combinations
+of the meta plugin and other built-in plugins are:
+
+<div class="grid cards" markdown>
+
+-   :material-share-circle: &nbsp; __[Built-in social plugin][social]__

+    for a subset of pages.
+

+
+-   :material-newspaper-variant-outline: &nbsp; __[Built-in blog plugin][blog]__

+
+
+# Built-in offline plugin
+
+[MkDocs][mkdocs] is one of the few frameworks that allow to build offline-capable
+documentation that can be directly viewed by the user – no server needed. With
+the offline plugin, you can distribute the [`site` directory][mkdocs.site_dir]
+as a downloadable `.zip` file while retaining most interactive functionality.
+
+## Objective
+
+### How it works
+
+After [building your project], switch to the [`site` directory][mkdocs.site_dir]
+and open `index.html` in your browser – you're now viewing your documentation
+from your local file system! Most browsers will denote this by showing `file://`
+in the address bar. However, you'll realize that the site search is gone.
+
+Material for MkDocs offers many interactive features, some of which will not
+work from the local file system due to the restrictions of modern browsers. More
+specifically and technically, all calls to the [Fetch API] will error with a
+message like:
+
+```
+Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, [...]
+```
+
+While browsers impose those restriction for security reasons, it reduces the
+interactivity of your project. The offline plugin makes sure that site search
+keeps working by moving the search index to a JavaScript file, and leveraging
+@squidfunk's [iframe-worker] shim.
+
+Additionally, the plugin automatically disables the
+[`use_directory_urls`][mkdocs.use_directory_urls] setting, ensuring that users
+can open your documentation directly from the local file system.
+
+There are some [limitations].
+
+  [building your project]: ../creating-your-site.md#building-your-site
+  [Fetch API]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API
+  [iframe-worker]: https://github.com/squidfunk/iframe-worker
+  [limitations]: #limitations
+
+### When to use it
+
+As the name already indicates, the plugin should only be used when you're
+[building your project] for offline distribution. It's also good to know, that
+the offline plugin plays nicely with the following other plugins, helping to
+create even better offline-capable documentation:
+
+<div class="grid cards" markdown>
+
+-   :material-shield-account: &nbsp; __[Built-in privacy plugin][privacy]__
+
+    ---
+
+    The privacy plugin makes it easy to use external assets when building for
+    offline usage, as it automatically downloads them for distribution with
+    your documentation.
+
+    ---
+
+    __Your documentation can work without connectivity to the internet[^1]__
+
+-   :material-rabbit: &nbsp; __[Built-in optimize plugin][optimize]__
+
+    ---
+
+    The optimize plugin automatically identifies and optimizes all media files
+    that you reference in your project by using compression and conversion
+    techniques.
+
+    ---
+
+    __Your documentation can be distributed as a smaller `.zip` download__
+
+</div>
+
+  [^1]:
+    You might wonder why the [privacy plugin][privacy] is necessary to build
+    truly offline-capable documentation with the offline plugin. While it's
+    certainly possible to also add support for downloading external assets to
+    the offline plugin, this functionality is already fully implemented in the
+    privacy plugin and is its very raison d'être.
+
+    Material for MkDocs follows a modular approach for its plugin system – many
+    of the plugins work perfectly together and enhance each others
+    functionalities, allowing to solve complex problems with a few lines
+    of configuration.

+# Built-in optimize plugin
+
+The optimize plugin automatically identifies and optimizes all media files when
+[building your project] by using common compression and conversion techniques.
+As a result, your site loads significantly faster and yields better rankings in
+search engines.
+
+  [building your project]: ../creating-your-site.md#building-your-site
+
+## Objective
+
+### How it works
+
+The plugin scans the [`docs` directory][mkdocs.docs_dir] for media files and
+assets, optimizing them automatically in order to reduce the final size of the
+[`site` directory][mkdocs.site_dir]. This leads to faster loading times as you
+ship less bytes to your users, as well as a smaller download for
+[offline-capable documentation].
+
+Optimized images are [intelligently cached][intelligent caching], which is why
+the plugin will only optimize media files that changed since the last build.
+This makes it possible to swap out or update images, without having to worry
+about optimizing them, or even worse, forgetting to do so.
+
+In order to optimize media files, a few [dependencies] need to be available on
+your system.
+
+  [offline-capable documentation]: ../setup/building-for-offline-usage.md
+  [dependencies]: #configuration
+
+### When to use it
+
+It's generally recommended to use the plugin, as media files are optimized
+automatically without the need for intervention, ensuring that your site loads
+as fast as possible. Optimized media files are one of the key components for a
+high and consistent ranking in search engines.
+
+Additionally, the plugin can be combined with other built-in plugins
+that Material for MkDocs offers, in order to create sophisticated
+build pipelines tailored to your project:

+
+As with all [built-in plugins], getting started with the optimize plugin is
+straightforward. Just add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`, and observe how
+media files are optimized automatically:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - optimize
+```
+
+The optimize plugin is built into Material for MkDocs and doesn't need to be
+installed.
+
+However, in order to optimize all media files, it's necessary to install the
+dependencies for [image processing], if they're not already available on your
+system. The linked guide includes instructions for several operating systems
+and mentions some alternative environments.
+
+  [optimize]: optimize.md
+  [built-in plugins]: index.md
+  [image processing]: requirements/image-processing.md
+
+### General
+
+The following settings are available:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.enabled -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.29.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to enable or disable the plugin when [building your project].
+If you want to disable the plugin, e.g., for local builds, you can use an
+[environment variable][mkdocs.env] in `mkdocs.yml`:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - optimize:
+      enabled: !ENV [CI, false]
+```
+
+This configuration enables the plugin only during continuous integration (CI).
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.concurrency -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.29.0 -->
+<!-- md:default available CPUs - 1 -->
+
+With more CPUs available, the plugin can do more work in parallel, and thus
+complete media file optimization faster. If you want to disable concurrent
+processing completely, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - optimize:
+      concurrency: 1
+```
+
+By default, the plugin uses all available CPUs - 1 with a minimum of 1.
+
+### Caching
+
+The plugin implements an [intelligent caching] mechanism, ensuring that a media
+file or asset is only passed through the optimization pipeline when its contents
+change. If you swap out or update an image, the plugin detects it and updates
+the optimized version of the media file.
+
+The following settings are available for caching:
+
+  [intelligent caching]: requirements/caching.md
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.cache -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.29.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to instruct the plugin to bypass the cache, in order to
+re-optimize all media files, even though the cache may not be stale. It's
+normally not necessary to specify this setting, except for when debugging
+the plugin itself. Caching can be disabled with:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - optimize:
+      cache: false
+```
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.cache_dir -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.29.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `.cache/plugin/optimize` -->
+
+It is normally not necessary to specify this setting, except for when you want
+to change the path within your root directory where media files are cached.
+If you want to change it, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - optimize:
+      cache_dir: my/custom/dir
+```
+
+If you're using [multiple instances] of the plugin, it can be a good idea to
+set different cache directories for both instances, so that they don't interfere
+with each other.
+
+  [multiple instances]: index.md#multiple-instances
+
+### Optimization
+
+Documentation often makes use of screenshots or diagrams for better
+visualization of things, both of which are prime candidates for optimization.
+The plugin automatically optimizes images using [pngquant] for `.png` files,
+and [Pillow] for `.jpg` files.
+
+The following settings are available for optimization:
+
+  [pngquant]: https://pngquant.org/
+  [Pillow]: https://pillow.readthedocs.io/
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.optimize -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.41.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to enable or disable media file optimization. Currently,
+the plugin's sole purpose is to optimize media files, so it's equivalent to the
+[`enabled`][config.enabled] setting, but in the near future, other features
+might be added. If you want to disable optimization, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - optimize:
+      optimize: false
+```
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.optimize_png -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.29.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to enable or disable the optimization of `.png` files. It's
+normally not necessary to specify this setting, but if you want to disable
+the optimization of `.png` files, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - optimize:

+
+Use this setting to specify the speed/quality tradeoff that [pngquant] applies
+when optimizing `.png` files. The lower the number, the more aggressively
+[pngquant] will try to optimize:

+
+# Built-in privacy plugin
+
+The privacy plugin offers a streamlined solution for automatically self-hosting
+external assets. With just a single line of configuration, the plugin can
+automatically identify and download external assets, making GDPR compliance
+as effortless as it can possibly be.
+
+## Objective
+
+### How it works
+
+The plugin scans the generated HTML for external assets, i.e., scripts, style
+sheets, images, and web fonts, downloads them, stores them in the
+[`site` directory][mkdocs.site_dir] and replaces all references with links to
+the downloaded copies for effortless self-hosting. For example:
+
+``` html
+<script src="https://example.com/script.js"></script>
+```
+
+This external script is downloaded, and the link is replaced with:
+
+``` html
+<script src="assets/external/example.com/script.js"></script>
+```
+
+Of course, scripts and style sheets can reference further external assets,
+which is why this process is repeated recursively until no further external
+assets are detected:
+
+- Scripts are scanned for further scripts, style sheets and JSON files
+- Style sheets are scanned for images and web fonts
+
+Additionally, hints like [`preconnect`][preconnect], used to reduce latency when
+requesting external assets, are removed from the output, as they're not
+necessary when self-hosting. After the plugin has done it's work, your project
+will be free of requests to external services.
+
+There are some [limitations].
+
+  [preconnect]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel/preconnect
+  [limitations]: #limitations
+
+### When to use it
+
+The plugin was developed to make compliance with the 2018 European
+__General Data Protection Regulation__ (GDPR) as simple as possible, while
+retaining the flexibility and power that Material for MkDocs offers, like for
+example its tight integration with [Google Fonts].
+
+But, that's only the start. For example, if your project includes a lot of
+images, enabling the plugin allows to move them outside of your repository, as
+the plugin will automatically download and store them in the [`site` directory]
+[mkdocs.site_dir] when [building your project].
+
+Even more interestingly, the plugin can be combined with other built-in plugins
+that Material for MkDocs offers, in order to create sophisticated build
+pipelines tailored to your project:
+
+<div class="grid cards" markdown>
+
+-   :material-rabbit: &nbsp; __[Built-in optimize plugin][optimize]__
+
+    ---
+
+    The optimize plugin allows to optimize all downloaded external assets
+    detected by the privacy plugin by using compression and conversion
+    techniques.
+
+    ---
+
+    __External media files are automatically downloaded and optimized__
+
+-   :material-connection: &nbsp; __[Built-in offline plugin][offline]__
+
+    ---
+
+    The offline plugin adds support for building [offline-capable documentation],
+    so you can distribute the [`site` directory][mkdocs.site_dir] as a `.zip`
+    file that can be downloaded.
+
+    ---
+
+    __Your documentation can work without connectivity to the internet__

+## Configuration
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.9.0 -->
+<!-- md:plugin [privacy] – built-in -->
+<!-- md:flag multiple -->
+<!-- md:flag experimental -->
+
+As with all [built-in plugins], getting started with the privacy plugin is
+straightforward. Just add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`, and start
+effortlessly self-hosting external assets:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - privacy
+```
+
+The privacy plugin is built into Material for MkDocs and doesn't need to be
+installed.
+
+  [privacy]: privacy.md
+  [built-in plugins]: index.md
+
+### General
+
+The following settings are available:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.enabled -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.10.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to enable or disable the plugin when [building your project].
+If you want to disable the plugin, e.g., for local builds, you can use an
+[environment variable][mkdocs.env] in `mkdocs.yml`:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - privacy:
+      enabled: !ENV [CI, false]
+```
+
+This configuration enables the plugin only during continuous integration (CI).
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.concurrency -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.30.0 -->
+<!-- md:default available CPUs - 1 -->
+
+With more CPUs available, the plugin can do more work in parallel, and thus
+complete handling of external assets faster. If you want to disable concurrent
+processing completely, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - privacy:
+      concurrency: 1
+```
+
+By default, the plugin uses all available CPUs - 1 with a minimum of 1.
+
+### Caching
+
+The plugin implements an [intelligent caching] mechanism, ensuring that external
+assets are only downloaded when they're not already contained in the cache.
+While the initial build might take some time, it's a good idea to use caching,
+as it will speed up consecutive builds.
+
+The following settings are available for caching:
+
+  [intelligent caching]: requirements/caching.md
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.cache -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.30.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to instruct the plugin to bypass the cache, in order to
+re-schedule downloads for all external assets, even though the cache may not be
+stale. It's normally not necessary to specify this setting, except for when
+debugging the plugin itself. Caching can be disabled with:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - privacy:
+      cache: false
+```
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.cache_dir -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.30.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `.cache/plugin/privacy` -->
+
+It is normally not necessary to specify this setting, except for when you want
+to change the path within your root directory where downloaded copies are
+cached. If you want to change it, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - privacy:
+      cache_dir: my/custom/dir
+```
+
+If you're using [multiple instances] of the plugin, it can be a good idea to
+set different cache directories for both instances, so that they don't interfere
+with each other.
+
+  [multiple instances]: index.md#multiple-instances
+
+### External assets
+
+The following settings are available for external assets:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.assets -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.37.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to control whether the plugin should download external
+assets. If you only want the plugin to process [external links], you can disable
+handling of external assets with:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - privacy:
+      assets: false
+```
+
+  [external links]: #external-links
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.assets_fetch -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.37.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to control whether the plugin should downloads or only report
+external assets when they're encountered. If you already self-host all external
+assets, this setting can be used as a safety net to detect links to external
+assets placed by the author in pages:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - privacy:
+      assets_fetch: true
+```
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.assets_fetch_dir -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.37.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `assets/external` -->
+
+It is normally not necessary to specify this setting, except for when you want
+to change the path within the [`site` directory][mkdocs.site_dir] where
+external assets are stored. If you want to change it, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - privacy:
+      assets_fetch_dir: my/custom/dir
+```
+
+This configuration stores the downloaded copies at `my/custom/dir` in the
+[`site` directory][mkdocs.site_dir].
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.assets_include -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.37.0 -->
+<!-- md:default none -->
+
+Use this setting to enable downloading of external assets for specific origins,
+e.g., when using [multiple instances] of the plugin to fine-tune processing of
+external assets for different origins:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - privacy:
+      assets_include:
+        - unsplash.com/*
+```
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.assets_exclude -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.37.0 -->
+<!-- md:default none -->
+
+Use this setting to disable downloading of external assets for specific origins,
+e.g., when using [multiple instances] of the plugin to fine-tune processing of
+external assets for different origins:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - privacy:
+      assets_exclude: # (1)!
+        - cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@3/*
+        - giscus.app/*
+```
+
+1.  [MathJax] loads web fonts for typesetting of mathematical content
+    through relative URLs, and thus cannot be automatically bundled by the
+    privacy plugin. [MathJax can be self-hosted].
+
+    [Giscus], which we recommend to use as a [comment system], uses a technique
+    called code-splitting to load only the code that is necessary, which
+    is implemented via relative URLs. [Giscus can be self-hosted] as well.
+
+  [MathJax]: ../reference/math.md

+
+### External links
+
+The following settings are available for external links:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.links -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.37.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to instruct the plugin to parse and process external links to
+annotate them for [improved security], or to automatically add additional
+attributes to external links. If you want to disable processing of external
+links, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - privacy:
+      links: false
+```
+
+  [improved security]: https://developer.chrome.com/en/docs/lighthouse/best-practices/external-anchors-use-rel-noopener/
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.links_attr_map -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.37.0 -->
+<!-- md:default none -->
+
+Use this setting to specify additional attributes that should be added to
+external links, for example, to add `target="_blank"` to all external links
+so they open in a new tab:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - privacy:
+      links_attr_map:
+        target: _blank
+```
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.links_noopener -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.37.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+It is normally not recommended to change this setting, as it will automatically
+annotate external links that open in a new window with `rel="noopener"` for
+[improved security]:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - privacy:
+      links_noopener: true
+```
+
+## Limitations
+
+Dynamically created URLs as part of scripts are not detected, and thus cannot be
+downloaded automatically, as the plugin does not execute scripts – it only detects fully qualified URLs for downloading and replacement. In short, don't do this:
+
+``` js
+const cdn = "https://polyfill.io"
+const url = `${cdn}/v3/polyfill.min.js`
+```
+
+Instead, always use fully qualified URLs:
+
+``` js
+const url ="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js"
+```

+# Built-in projects plugin
+
+The projects plugin adds the ability to split your main project into multiple
+distinct projects, build them concurrently and preview them together as one.
+This is particularly useful when creating a multi-language project, but can also
+be used to split very large projects into smaller parts.
+
+## Objective
+
+### How it works
+
+The plugin scans the configured [`projects` directory][config.projects_dir] for
+`mkdocs.yml` files, identifies all nested projects and builds them concurrently.
+If not configured otherwise, the plugin expects that your project has
+the following directory layout, e.g. for a multi-language project:
+
+``` { .sh .no-copy }
+.
+├─ docs/
+├─ projects/
+│  ├─ en/
+│  │  ├─ docs/
+│  │  └─ mkdocs.yml
+│  └─ de/
+│     ├─ docs/
+│     └─ mkdocs.yml
+└─ mkdocs.yml
+```
+
+One of the most useful and interesting features of the plugin is that it allows
+[previewing your site] from the main project, while still being able to preview
+and build each project individually. This is especially useful for
+multi-language projects.
+
+If, when [previewing your site], you change a file in one of the projects, the
+plugin only rebuilds this project and makes sure that MkDocs will also reload
+the associated files. This also creates the opportunity for splitting your
+main project into several projects for a better editing experience.
+
+There are some [limitations], but we're working hard to remove them.
+
+  [previewing your site]: ../creating-your-site.md#previewing-as-you-write
+  [limitations]: #limitations
+
+### When to use it
+
+The plugin came into existence because we needed a convenient and scalable
+method to build our [examples] repository, which features many self-contained
+and runnable projects that users can download and use as a basis when
+boostrapping a new project or [creating a reproduction].
+
+When you want to create a multi-language project, or have a very large existing
+project, you might consider using the plugin, as it makes managing, editing
+and building more comfortable.
+
+  [examples]: https://github.com/mkdocs-material/examples
+  [creating a reproduction]: ../guides/creating-a-reproduction.md
+
+## Configuration
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.38.0 -->
+<!-- md:plugin [projects] – built-in -->
+<!-- md:flag experimental -->
+
+In order to get started with the projects plugin, just add the following lines
+to `mkdocs.yml`, and split your main project into several distinct projects that
+can be built concurrently:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - projects
+```
+
+The projects plugin is built into Material for MkDocs and doesn't need to be
+installed.
+
+  [projects]: projects.md
+
+### General
+
+The following settings are available:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.enabled -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.38.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to enable or disable the plugin when [building your project].
+If you want to disable the plugin, e.g., for local builds, you can use an
+[environment variable][mkdocs.env] in `mkdocs.yml`:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - projects:
+      enabled: !ENV [CI, false]
+```
+
+This configuration enables the plugin only during continuous integration (CI).
+
+  [building your project]: ../creating-your-site.md#building-your-site
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.concurrency -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.38.0 -->
+<!-- md:default available CPUs - 1 -->
+
+With more CPUs available, the plugin can do more work in parallel, and thus
+build projects faster. If you want to disable concurrent processing completely,
+use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - projects:
+      concurrency: 1
+```
+
+By default, the plugin uses all available CPUs - 1 with a minimum of 1.
+
+### Caching
+
+The plugin implements an [intelligent caching] mechanism, ensuring that a
+project is only rebuilt when its contents change. While the initial build might
+take some time, it's a good idea to use caching, as it will speed up consecutive
+builds.
+
+The following settings are available for caching:
+
+  [intelligent caching]: requirements/caching.md
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.cache -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.38.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to instruct the plugin to bypass the cache, in order to
+rebuild all projects, even though the cache may not be stale. It's normally not
+necessary to specify this setting, except for when debugging the plugin itself.
+Caching can be disabled with:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - projects:
+      cache: false
+```
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.cache_dir -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.38.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `.cache/plugin/projects` -->
+
+It is normally not necessary to specify this setting, except for when you want
+to change the path within your root directory where the metadata is cached.
+If you want to change it, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - projects:
+      cache_dir: my/custom/dir
+```
+
+### Projects
+
+The following settings are available for projects:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.projects -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.38.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to enable or disable building of projects. Currently, the
+plugin's sole purpose is to build projects, so it's equivalent to the
+[`enabled`][config.enabled] setting, but in the future, other features might be
+added. If you want to disable building of projects, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - projects:
+      projects: false
+```
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.projects_dir -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.38.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `projects` -->
+
+Use this setting to change the folder where your projects are located. It's
+normally not necessary to change this setting, but if you want to rename the
+folder or change its file system location, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - projects:
+      projects_dir: projects
+```
+
+Note that the [`projects` directory][config.projects_dir] is solely used for
+project organization – it is not included in project URLs, since projects are
+automatically hoisted by the plugin.
+
+The provided path is resolved from the root directory.
+
+### Hoisting
+
+The following settings are available for hoisting:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.hoisting -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.39.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to enable or disable hoisting of themes files to the main
+project. If you disable this setting, each project receives a copy of the
+theme's files, which can be considered redundant:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - projects:
+      hoisting: false
+```
+
+It's generally advisable to enable hoisting, as it yields faster deployments
+and faster loading of your project's sites, because the files are the same for
+all projects and can be deduplicated.
+
+### Limitations
+
+The plugin is one of the latest additions to Material for MkDocs, which means it
+is rather young and has some limitations. We're working hard to remove them, and
+we're happy to receive feedback and learn about your requirements in ?5800.
+Current limitations are:
+
+- __Basic multi-language support only__: we'll be investigating how to provide
+  better support for multi-language projects, allowing to easier interlink
+  projects and switch between them.
+
+- __Separate search indexes and sitemaps__: currently, the projects are entirely
+  separate, which means they will have separate search indexes and sitemaps.

+## Prerequisites
+
+Caching is entirely optional but enabled by default. It can be disabled per
+plugin. If not configured otherwise, plugins will cache their data in the
+`.cache` folder in the root of your project. For this reason it's recommended
+to create a `.gitignore` file in the root of your project:
+
+``` title=".gitignore"
+.cache
+```
+
+This ensures that cached files are not added to your git repository – something
+that is generally not recommended to do unless absolutely necessary. In some
+cases, you might need to check in cached files, e.g. when you need to
+pre-generate [social cards] locally, e.g., when you're not be able to install
+the image processing dependencies in your continuous integration (CI)
+environment.
+
+In this case, we recommend changing the `cache_dir` setting – something that all
+plugins that implement caching share – to a folder which you add to your git
+repository.

+
+# Built-in search plugin
+
+The search plugin adds a search bar to the header, allowing users to search your
+documentation. It's powered by [lunr.js], a lightweight full-text search engine
+for the browser, elimininating the need for external services, and even works
+when building [offline-capable documentation].
+
+  [lunr.js]: https://lunrjs.com/
+  [offline-capable documentation]: ../setup/building-for-offline-usage.md
+
+## Objective
+
+### How it works
+
+The plugin scans the generated HTML and builds a search index from all pages and
+sections by extracting the section titles and contents. It preserves some inline
+formatting like code blocks and lists, but removes all other formatting, so the
+search index is as small as possible.
+
+When a user visits your site, the search index is shipped to the browser,
+indexed with [lunr.js] and made available for fast and simple querying – no
+server needed. This ensures that the search index is always up to date with
+your documentation, yielding accurate results.
+
+### When to use it
+
+It's generally recommended to use the plugin, as interactive search functionality
+is a vital part of every good documentation. Additionally, the plugin integrates
+perfectly with several of the other [built-in plugins] that Material for MkDocs
+offers:
+
+<div class="grid cards" markdown>
+
+-   :material-connection: &nbsp; __[Built-in offline plugin][offline]__
+
+    ---
+
+    The offline plugin adds support for building offline-capable documentation,
+    so you can distribute the [`site` directory][mkdocs.site_dir] as a `.zip`
+    file that can be downloaded.
+
+    ---
+
+    __Your documentation can work without connectivity to the internet__
+
+-   :material-file-tree: &nbsp; __[Built-in meta plugin][meta]__
+
+    ---
+
+    The meta plugin makes it easy to [boost][meta.search.boost] specific
+    sections in search results or to [exclude][meta.search.exclude] them
+    entirely from being indexed, giving more granular control over search.
+
+    ---

+    __Simpler organization and management of search in different subsections__

+
+## Configuration
+
+<!-- md:version 9.0.0 -->
+<!-- md:plugin [search] – built-in -->
+
+As with all [built-in plugins], getting started with the search plugin is
+straightforward. Just add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`, and your users
+will be able to search your documentation:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - search
+```
+
+The search plugin is built into Material for MkDocs and doesn't need to be
+installed.
+
+  [search]: search.md
+  [built-in plugins]: index.md
+
+### General
+
+The following settings are available:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.enabled -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.2.9 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to enable or disable the plugin when [building your project].
+It's normally not necessary to specify this setting, but if you want to disable
+the plugin, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - search:
+      enabled: false
+```
+
+  [building your project]: ../creating-your-site.md#building-your-site
+
+### Search
+
+The following settings are available for search:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.lang -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.0.0 -->
+<!-- md:default computed -->
+
+Use this setting to specify the language of the search index, enabling [stemming]
+support for other languages than English. The default value is automatically
+computed from the [site language], but can be explicitly set to another language
+or even multiple languages with:
+
+=== "Set language"
+
+    ``` yaml
+    plugins:
+      - search:
+          lang: en
+    ```
+
+=== "Add further languages"
+
+    ``` yaml
+    plugins:
+      - search:
+          lang: # (1)!
+            - en
+            - de
+    ```
+
+    1.  Be aware that including support for further languages increases the
+        base JavaScript payload by around 20kb and by another 15-30kb per
+        language, all before `gzip`.
+
+  [stemming]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemming
+  [site language]: ../setup/changing-the-language.md#site-language
+  [lunr languages]: https://github.com/MihaiValentin/lunr-languages
+
+Language support is provided by [lunr languages], a collection of
+language-specific stemmers and stop words for [lunr.js] maintained by the
+Open Source community.
+
+---
+
+The following languages are currently supported by [lunr languages]:
+
+<div class="mdx-columns" markdown>
+
+- `ar` – Arabic
+- `da` – Danish
+- `de` – German
+- `du` – Dutch
+- `en` – English
+- `es` – Spanish
+- `fi` – Finnish
+- `fr` – French
+- `hi` – Hindi
+- `hu` – Hungarian
+- `hy` – Armenian
+- `it` – Italian
+- `ja` – Japanese
+- `kn` - Kannada
+- `ko` – Korean
+- `no` – Norwegian
+- `pt` – Portuguese
+- `ro` – Romanian
+- `ru` – Russian
+- `sa` – Sanskrit
+- `sv` – Swedish
+- `ta` – Tamil
+- `te` – Telugu
+- `th` – Thai
+- `tr` – Turkish
+- `vi` – Vietnamese
+- `zh` – Chinese
+
+</div>
+
+If [lunr languages] doesn't provide support for the selected [site language],
+the plugin falls back to another language that yields the best stemming results.
+If you discover that the search results are not satisfactory, you can contribute
+to [lunr languages] by adding support for your language.
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.separator -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.0.0 -->
+<!-- md:default computed -->
+
+Use this setting to specify the separator used to split words when building the
+search index on the client side. The default value is automatically computed
+from the [site language], but can also be explicitly set to another value with:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - search:
+      separator: '[\s\-,:!=\[\]()"/]+|(?!\b)(?=[A-Z][a-z])|\.(?!\d)|&[lg]t;'
+```
+
+Separators support [positive and negative lookahead assertions], which allows
+for rather complex expressions that yield precise control over how words are
+split when building the search index.
+
+Broken into its parts, this separator induces the following behavior:
+
+=== "Special characters"
+
+    ```
+    [\s\-,:!=\[\]()"/]+
+    ```
+
+    The first part of the expression inserts token boundaries for each
+    document before and after whitespace, hyphens, commas, brackets and
+    other special characters. If several of those special characters are
+    adjacent, they are treated as one.
+
+=== "Case changes"
+
+    ```
+    (?!\b)(?=[A-Z][a-z])
+    ```
+
+    Many programming languages have naming conventions like `PascalCase` or
+    `camelCase`. By adding this subexpression to the separator,
+    [words are split at case changes], tokenizing the word `PascalCase`
+    into `Pascal` and `Case`.
+
+=== "Version strings"
+
+    ```
+    \.(?!\d)
+    ```
+
+    When adding `.` to the separator, version strings like `1.2.3` are split
+    into `1`, `2` and `3`, which makes them undiscoverable via search. When
+    using this subexpression, a small lookahead is introduced which will
+    [preserve version strings] and keep them discoverable.
+
+=== "HTML/XML tags"
+
+    ```
+    &[lg]t;
+    ```
+
+    If your documentation includes HTML/XML code examples, you may want to allow
+    users to find [specific tag names]. Unfortunately, the `<` and `>` control
+    characters are encoded in code blocks as `&lt;` and `&gt;`. Adding this
+    subexpression to the separator allows for just that.
+
+  [positive and negative lookahead assertions]: https://www.regular-expressions.info/lookaround.html
+  [words are split at case changes]: ?q=searchHighlight
+  [preserve version strings]: ?q=9.0.0
+  [specific tag names]: ?q=script
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.pipeline -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.0.0 -->
+<!-- md:default computed -->
+<!-- md:flag experimental -->
+
+Use this setting to specify the [pipeline functions] that are used to filter and
+expand tokens after tokenizing them with the [`separator`][config.separator] and
+before adding them to the search index. The default value is automatically
+computed from the [site language], but can also be explicitly set with:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - search:
+      pipeline:
+        - stemmer
+        - stopWordFilter
+        - trimmer
+```
+
+The following pipeline functions can be used:
+
+- `stemmer` – Stem tokens to their root form, e.g. `running` to `run`
+- `stopWordFilter` – Filter common words according, e.g. `a`, `the`, etc.
+- `trimmer` – Trim whitespace from tokens
+
+  [pipeline functions]: https://lunrjs.com/guides/customising.html#pipeline-functions
+
+### Segmentation
+
+The plugin supports text segmentation of Chinese via [jieba], a popular
+Chinese text segmentation library. Other languages like Japanese and Korean are
+currently segmented on the client side, but we're considering to move this
+functionality into the plugin in the future.
+
+The following settings are available for segmentation:
+
+  [jieba]: https://pypi.org/project/jieba/
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.jieba_dict -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.2.0 -->
+<!-- md:default none -->
+<!-- md:flag experimental -->
+
+Use this setting to specify a [custom dictionary] to be used by [jieba] for
+segmenting text, replacing the default dictionary. [jieba] comes with
+several dictionaries, which can be used with:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - search:
+      jieba_dict: dict.txt
+```
+
+The following dictionaries are provided by [jieba]:
+
+- [dict.txt.small] – 占用内存较小的词典文件
+- [dict.txt.big] – 支持繁体分词更好的词典文件
+
+The provided path is resolved from the root directory.
+
+  [custom dictionary]: https://github.com/fxsjy/jieba#%E5%85%B6%E4%BB%96%E8%AF%8D%E5%85%B8

+  [dict.txt.big]: https://github.com/fxsjy/jieba/raw/master/extra_dict/dict.txt.big
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.jieba_dict_user -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.2.0 -->
+<!-- md:default none -->
+<!-- md:flag experimental -->
+
+Use this setting to specify an additional [user dictionary] to be used by
+[jieba] for segmenting text, augmenting the default dictionary. User
+dictionaries are ideal for tuning the segmenter:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - search:
+      jieba_dict_user: user_dict.txt
+```
+
+The provided path is resolved from the root directory.
+
+  [user dictionary]: https://github.com/fxsjy/jieba#%E8%BD%BD%E5%85%A5%E8%AF%8D%E5%85%B8

+## Usage
+
+### Metadata
+
+The following properties are available:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting meta.search.boost -->
+
+<!-- md:version 8.3.0 -->
+<!-- md:flag metadata -->
+<!-- md:default none -->
+
+Use this property to increase or decrease the relevance of a page in the search
+results, giving more weight to them. Use values above `1` to rank up and values
+below `1` to rank down:
+
+=== ":material-arrow-up-circle: Rank up"
+
+    ``` yaml
+    ---
+    search:
+      boost: 2 # (1)!
+    ---
+
+    # Page title
+    ...
+    ```
+
+    1.  When boosting pages, always start with low values.
+
+=== ":material-arrow-down-circle: Rank down"
+
+    ``` yaml
+    ---
+    search:
+      boost: 0.5
+    ---
+
+    # Page title
+    ...
+    ```
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting meta.search.exclude -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.0.0 -->
+<!-- md:flag metadata -->
+<!-- md:default none -->
+
+Use this property to exclude a page from the search results. Note that this will
+not only remove the page, but also all subsections of the page from the search
+results:
+
+``` yaml
+---
+search:
+  exclude: true
+---

+# Built-in tags plugin
+
+The tags plugin adds first-class support for categorizing pages with the use
+of tags, adding the possibility to group related pages and make them
+discoverable via search and dedicated tags indexes. If your documentation is
+large, tags can help to discover relevant information faster.
+
+## Objective
+
+### How it works
+
+The plugin scans all pages for the [`tags`][meta.tags] metadata property and
+generates a tags index, which is an inverted list of tags and the pages they
+appear on. The tags index can be located anywhere in the [`nav`][mkdocs.nav],
+allowing for maximum flexibility when adding tags to your project.
+
+### When to use it
+
+If you want to add one or multiple tags indexes to your project, the tags
+plugin is a perfect choice as it makes this process ridiculously simple.
+Additionally, it integrates perfectly with several of the other
+[built-in plugins] that Material for MkDocs offers:
+
+<div class="grid cards" markdown>
+
+-   :material-file-tree: &nbsp; __[Built-in meta plugin][meta]__
+
+    ---
+
+    The meta plugin makes it possible to ensure that subsections of your
+    project are annotated with [specific tags][meta.tags], so they can't be
+    forgotten when adding pages.
+
+    ---
+
+    __Simpler organization and management of tags in different subsections__
+
+-   :material-newspaper-variant-outline: &nbsp; __[Built-in blog plugin][blog]__
+
+    ---
+
+    The tags plugin allows to categorize posts alongside with pages in your
+    project, to improve their discoverability and connect posts to your
+    documentation.

+
+Use this setting to enable or disable the plugin when [building your project].

+
+The following settings are available for tags:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.tags -->
+
+<!-- md:version 9.2.9 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to enable or disable handling of tags. Currently, the plugin's
+sole purpose is to process tags, so it's equivalent to the [`enabled`]
+[config.enabled] setting, but in the future, other features might be added.
+If you want to disable handling of tags, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - tags:
+      tags: false
+```
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.tags_file -->
+
+<!-- md:version 8.2.0 -->
+<!-- md:default none -->
+
+Use this setting to specify the location of the tags index, which is the page
+used to render a list of all tags and their associated pages. If this setting is
+specified, tags become clickable, pointing to the corresponding section in the
+tags index:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - tags:
+      tags_file: tags.md
+```
+
+The page holding the tags index can be linked anywhere in the [`nav`][mkdocs.nav]
+section of `mkdocs.yml`. This setting is not required – you should only use it
+if you want to have a tags index.
+
+The provided path is resolved from the [`docs` directory][mkdocs.docs_dir].

+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.20.0 -->
+<!-- md:default none -->
+
+Use this setting to specify the locations of additional tags indexes, which are
+pages that render a subset of the tags index, in order to provide scoped tags
+indexes for specific sections:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - tags:
+      tags_extra_files:
+        extra-1.md: [tag-id-1, tag-id-2, ...]
+        extra-2.md: [tag-id-3, tag-id-4, ...]
+        ...
+```
+
+The provided path is resolved from the [`docs` directory][mkdocs.docs_dir].

+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.tags_slugify -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.25.0 -->
+<!-- md:default [`toc.slugify`][toc.slugify] -->
+
+Use this setting to change the function to use for generating URL-compatible
+slugs from tags. [Python Markdown Extensions] comes with a Unicode-aware
+[`slugify`][pymdownx.slugs.slugify] function:
+
+=== "Unicode"
+
+    ``` yaml
+    plugins:
+      - tags:

+    plugins:
+      - tags:
+          tags_slugify: !!python/object/apply:pymdownx.slugs.slugify
+    ```
+
+When your project features non-European languages, it's advisable to use this
+configuration. Of course, you can also provide a custom slugification function
+for more granular control.

+is a hyphen, it can be set to any string, e.g., `_`:
+
+``` yaml

+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.26.2 -->
+<!-- md:default none -->
+
+Use this setting to specify a custom function for comparing tags. By default,
+tag comparison is case-sensitive, but you can use the `casefold` function
+for case-insensitive comparison:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - tags:
+      tags_compare: !!python/name:material.plugins.tags.casefold

+Use this setting to specify a custom function for comparing pages. By default,
+pages occur in order of appearance, but you can sort them by using the following
+configuration:
+
+=== "Sort by page title"

+      - tags:
+          tags_pages_compare: !!python/name:material.plugins.tags.page_url

+
+You can also define your own comparison function, which must return a string
+representing the page, that is used for sorting, and reference it in
+[`tags_pages_compare`][config.tags_pages_compare].

+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.tags_allowed -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.25.0 -->

+The plugin allows to check tags against a predefined list, in order to catch
+typos or make sure that tags are not arbitrarily added. Specify the tags you
+want to allow with:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - tags:
+      tags_allowed:
+        - HTML5
+        - JavaScript
+        - CSS
+```
+
+The plugin stops the build if a page references a tag that is not part of
+this list. Pages can be assigned to tags by using the [`tags`][meta.tags]
+metadata property.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Metadata
+
+The following properties are available:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting meta.tags -->
+
+<!-- md:version 8.2.0 -->
+<!-- md:flag metadata -->
+<!-- md:default none -->
+
+Use this property to associate a page with one or more tags, making the page
+appear in the generated tags index. Tags are defined as a list of strings
+(whitespaces are allowed):
+
+``` yaml
+---
+tags:
+  - HTML5
+  - JavaScript
+  - CSS
+---
+
+# Page title
+...
+```
+
+If you want to prevent accidental typos when assigning tags to pages, you can
+set a predefined list of allowed tags in `mkdocs.yml` by using the
+[`tags_allowed`][config.tags_allowed] setting.

+
+# Built-in typeset plugin
+
+The typeset plugin allows to preserve the enriched presentation of titles and
+headlines within the navigation and table of contents. This means that code
+blocks, icons, emojis and any other inline formatting can be rendered exactly
+as defined in the page's content.
+
+## Objective
+
+### How it works
+
+When [building your project], MkDocs extracts the plain text from headlines and
+drops the original formatting. This is generally useful and a good idea, since
+this information is made available to other plugins that might have problems
+when being passed HTML instead of plain text.
+
+However, it also means that the entire formatting is lost.
+
+The plugin hooks into the rendering process, extracts the original headlines,
+and makes them available to be used in templates and plugins. The templates of
+Material for MkDocs use this information to render an enriched version of the
+navigation and table of contents.
+
+  [building your project]: ../creating-your-site.md#building-your-site
+
+### When to use it
+
+It's generally recommended to use the plugin, because it is a drop-in solution
+that doesn't require any configuration and is designed to work out of the box.
+Since it doesn't overwrite but only adds information, it's not expected to
+interfere with other plugins.
+
+## Configuration
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.27.0 -->
+<!-- md:plugin [typeset] – built-in -->
+<!-- md:flag experimental -->
+
+As with all [built-in plugins], getting started with the typeset plugin is
+straightforward. Just add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`, and observe the
+enriched navigation and table of contents:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - typeset
+```
+
+The typeset plugin is built into Material for MkDocs and doesn't need to be
+installed.
+
+  [typeset]: typeset.md
+  [built-in plugins]: index.md
+
+### General
+
+The following settings are available:
+
+---
+
+#### <!-- md:setting config.enabled -->
+
+<!-- md:sponsors -->
+<!-- md:version insiders-4.27.0 -->
+<!-- md:default `true` -->
+
+Use this setting to enable or disable the plugin when [building your project].
+It's normally not necessary to specify this setting, but if you want to disable
+the plugin, use:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - typeset:
+      enabled: false
+```

-    Default: `true` – This option specifies whether the plugin should hoist all

-
-    ``` yaml
-    plugins:
-      - projects:

-
-    It's generally advisable to enable hoisting, as it leads to faster

-#### Optimization
-
-Technical documentation often includes screenshots or diagrams, both of which
-are prime candidates for compression. The [built-in optimize plugin] allows to
-automatically compress images using [pngquant] (for PNGs), and [Pillow]
-(for JPGs).
-
-The following configuration options are available for optimization:
-
-[`optimize_png`](#+optimize.optimize_png){ #+optimize.optimize_png }
-
-:   :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `true` – This option specifies whether
-    the plugin should optimize PNG files using [pngquant], which must be
-    installed on the system. PNG optimization can be disabled with:
-
-    ``` yaml
-    plugins:
-      - optimize:
-          optimize_png: false
-    ```
-
-[`optimize_png_speed`](#+optimize.optimize_png_speed){ #+optimize.optimize_png_speed }
-
-:   :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `4` of `[1,10]` – This option specifies the
-    speed/quality tradeoff that [pngquant] applies when compressing. The lower
-    the number, the more time will be spent optimizing:
-
-    === "Slower <small>small</small>"
-
-        ``` yaml
-        plugins:
-          - optimize:
-              optimize_png_speed: 1
-        ```
-
-    === "Faster <small>rough</small>"
-
-        ``` yaml
-        plugins:
-          - optimize:
-              optimize_png_speed: 10
-        ```
-
-    A factor of `10` has 5% lower quality, but is 8x faster than the default `4`.
-
-[`optimize_png_strip`](#+optimize.optimize_png_strip){ #+optimize.optimize_png_strip }
-
-:   :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `true` – This option specifies whether
-    [pngquant] should remove all non-optional metadata that is not necessary
-    for rendering images in a browser:
-
-    ``` yaml
-    plugins:
-      - optimize:
-          optimize_png_strip: false
-    ```
-
-[`optimize_jpg`](#+optimize.optimize_jpg){ #+optimize.optimize_jpg }
-
-:   :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `true` – This option specifies whether
-    the plugin should optimize JPG files using [Pillow], a Python image
-    processing library. JPG optimization can be disabled with:
-
-    ``` yaml
-    plugins:
-      - optimize:
-          optimize_jpg: false
-    ```
-
-[`optimize_jpg_quality`](#+optimize.optimize_jpg_quality){ #+optimize.optimize_jpg_quality }
-
-:   :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `60` of `[0,100]` – This option specifies
-    the image quality that [Pillow] uses when compressing. If the images look
-    blurry, it's a good idea to tune and change this setting:
-
-    ``` yaml
-    plugins:
-      - optimize:
-          optimize_jpg_quality: 75
-    ```
-
-[`optimize_jpg_progressive`](#+optimize.optimize_jpg_progressive){ #+optimize.optimize_jpg_progressive }
-
-:   :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `true` – This option specifies whether
-    [Pillow] should use [progressive encoding] (faster rendering) when
-    compressing JPGs. Progressive encoding can be disabled with:
-
-    ``` yaml
-    plugins:
-      - optimize:
-          optimize_jpg_progressive: false

-
-#### Caching
-
-The [built-in optimize plugin] implements an intelligent caching mechanism,
-ensuring that media files are only pushed through the optimization pipeline when
-their contents change. If you swap out or update an image, the plugin will
-detect it and update the optimized version.
-
-The following configuration options are available for caching:
-
-[`cache`](#+optimize.cache){ #+optimize.cache }
-
-:   :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `true` – This option specifies whether
-    the plugin queries its cache for an existing artifact before starting an
-    optimization job. It's normally not necessary to change this setting,
-    except for when debugging the plugin itself. Caching can be disabled with:
-
-    ``` yaml
-    plugins:
-      - optimize:
-          cache: false
-    ```
-
-[`cache_dir`](#+optimize.cache_dir){ #+optimize.cache_dir }
-
-:   :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `.cache/plugins/optimize` – This option
-    specifies the file system location of the plugin's cache. It's normally not
-    necessary to change this setting, except for when debugging the plugin
-    itself. The cache directory can be changed with:
-
-    ``` yaml
-    plugins:
-      - optimize:
-          cache_dir: .cache/plugins/optimize
-    ```
-
-    By default, all built-in plugins that implement caching will create a
-    `.cache` directory in the same folder your `mkdocs.yml` resides, and create
-    subfolders to not interfere with each other. If you use multiple instances
-    of this plugin, it could be necessary to change this setting.

-
-#### How it works
-
-The [built-in privacy plugin] scans the resulting HTML for links to external
-resources, including external scripts, style sheets, images and web fonts, and
-downloads them to bundle them with your documentation site. Every URL referring
-to an external resource, no matter if part of a template or Markdown file, is
-then replaced with the URL to the local copy. An example:
-
-``` html
-<script src="https://example.com/script.js"></script>
-```
-
-The external script is downloaded, and the link is replaced with:
-
-``` html
-<script src="assets/external/example.com/script.js"></script>
-```
-
-Style sheets are scanned for external `url(...)` references, e.g. images and
-web fonts, which are then also downloaded and bundled with your documentation
-site. This means that [Google Fonts] can be configured in `mkdocs.yml` as usual,
-as the [built-in privacy plugin] automatically downloads and bundles all
-dependent resources.
-
-As a third measure, [`preconnect`][preconnect] hints used for DNS pre-fetching
-which might also leak the visitors IP address to a third party are automatically
-removed during the build process.

-#### Caching <small>recommended</small> { #caching data-toc-label="Caching" }
-
-All downloaded files are written to the `.cache` directory, significantly 
-reducing the duration of subsequent builds as only replacements need to be 
-carried out. You might want to:
-
-1.  Ignore the `.cache` directory in your project, by adding it to `.gitignore`.
-2.  When building your site for publishing, use a build cache to save the
-    `.cache` directory in between builds. Taking the example from the
-    [publishing guide], add the following lines:
-
-    ``` yaml hl_lines="15-21"
-    name: ci
-      on:
-        push:
-          branches:
-            - master
-            - main
-    jobs:
-      deploy:
-        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-        steps:
-          - uses: actions/checkout@v3

-            with:

-          - uses: actions/cache@v3
-            with:
-              key: mkdocs-material-${{ env.cache_id }}

-          - run: mkdocs gh-deploy --force
-    ```
-
-  [publishing guide]: ../publishing-your-site.md#with-github-actions
-
-#### Limitations
-
-Note that dynamically created URLs as part of scripts are not detected, and thus
-cannot be automatically downloaded. The [built-in privacy plugin] does not
-execute scripts – it can only detect fully qualified URLs to download and
-replace.
-
-In short, don't do this:
-
-``` js
-const cdn = "https://polyfill.io"
-const url = `${cdn}/v3/polyfill.min.js`
-```
-
-Instead, always use fully qualified URLs:
-
-``` js
-const url ="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js"
-```

-
-    ``` yaml
-    plugins:
-      - search:
-          separator: '[\s\-\.]+'
-    ```
-
-    With :octicons-tag-24: 9.0.0, a faster and more flexible tokenizer method
-    is shipped, allowing for __tokenizing with lookahead__, which yields more
-    influence on the way documents are indexed. As a result, we use the
-    following separator setting for this site's search:
-
-    ``` yaml
-    plugins:
-      - search:
-          separator: '[\s\-,:!=\[\]()"/]+|(?!\b)(?=[A-Z][a-z])|\.(?!\d)|&[lg]t;'
-    ```
-
-    Broken into its parts, the separator induces the following behavior:
-
-    === "Special characters"
-
-        ```
-        [\s\-,:!=\[\]()"/]+
-        ```
-
-        The first part of the expression inserts token boundaries for each
-        document before and after whitespace, hyphens, commas, brackets and
-        other special characters. If several of those special characters are
-        adjacent, they are treated as one.
-
-    === "Case changes"
-
-        ```
-        (?!\b)(?=[A-Z][a-z])
-        ```
-
-        Many programming languages have naming conventions like `PascalCase` or
-        `camelCase`. By adding this subexpression to the separator,
-        [words are split at case changes], tokenizing the word `PascalCase`
-        into `Pascal` and `Case`.

-

-        \.(?!\d)
-        ```
-
-        When adding `.` to the separator, version strings like `1.2.3` are split
-        into `1`, `2` and `3`, which makes them undiscoverable via search. When
-        using this subexpression, a small lookahead is introduced which will

-    The awesome thing about social cards is that they are generated during 
-    build time and directly distributed with your documentation, no external 
-    services involved. While it would technically be simpler to generate 
-    social cards using a web browser and an automation framework like 
-    [Puppeteer], it would add further liabilities to the toolchain, with the 
-    potential to make build pipelines more complex and resource intense.
-
-    For this reason, Material for MkDocs again follows its core principle of 
-    making it as simple and powerful as possible, providing an easy-to-use 
-    framework for building [custom layouts] using Python image processing 
-    libraries.

-#### Caching
-
-The [built-in social plugin] implements an intelligent caching mechanism,
-ensuring that social cards are only re-generated when they're not contained in
-the cache or their contents change. If any of the variables used in a layout 
-changes, the plugin will detect it and re-generate the card.
-
-The following configuration options are available for caching:
-
-[`cache`](#+social.cache){ #+social.cache }
-
-:   [:octicons-tag-24: insiders-4.33.0][Insiders] · :octicons-milestone-24:
-    Default: `true` – Whether the plugin queries its cache for an existing
-    artifact before starting a generation job. It's normally not necessary to
-    change this setting, except for when debugging the plugin itself. Caching
-    can be disabled with:
-
-    ``` yaml
-    plugins:
-      - social:
-          cache: false
-    ```
-
-[`cache_dir`](#+social.cache_dir){ #+social.cache_dir }
-
-:   :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `.cache/plugins/social` – This option
