# Python Markdown
|
||
|
||
Material for MkDocs supports a large number of [Python Markdown] extensions,
|
||
which is part of what makes it so attractive for technical writing. Following
|
||
is a list of all supported extensions, linking to the relevant sections of the
|
||
reference for which features they need to be enabled.

||

### Markdown in HTML
|
||
|
||
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0][Markdown in HTML support] ·
|
||
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Markdown in HTML]
|
||
|
||
The [Markdown in HTML] extension allows for writing Markdown inside of HTML,
|
||
which is useful for wrapping Markdown content with custom elements. Enable it
|
||
via `mkdocs.yml`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
markdown_extensions:
|
||
- md_in_html
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> By default, Markdown ignores any content within a raw HTML block-level
|
||
> element. With the `md_in_html` extension enabled, the content of a raw HTML
|
||
> block-level element can be parsed as Markdown by including a `markdown`
|
||
> attribute on the opening tag. The `markdown` attribute will be stripped from
|
||
> the output, while all other attributes will be preserved.
|
||
|
||

### Table of Contents
|
||
|
||
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0][Table of Contents support] ·
|
||
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Table of Contents]
|
||
|
||
The [Table of Contents] extension automatically generates a table of contents
|
||
from a document, which Material for MkDocs will render as part of the resulting
|
||
page. Enable it via `mkdocs.yml`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
markdown_extensions:
|
||
- toc:
|
||
permalink: true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The following configuration options are supported:
|
||
|
||
[`title`](#+toc.title){ #+toc.title }
|
||
|
||
: [:octicons-tag-24: 7.3.5][title support] ·
|
||
:octicons-milestone-24: Default: _automatically set_ – This option sets the
|
||
title of the table of contents in the right navigation sidebar, which is
|
||
normally automatically sourced from the translations for the [site language]
|
||
as set in `mkdocs.yml`:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
markdown_extensions:
|
||
- toc:
|
||
title: On this page
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
[`permalink`](#+toc.permalink){ #+toc.permalink }
|
||
|
||
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `false` – This option adds an anchor link
|
||
containing the paragraph symbol `¶` or another custom symbol at the end of
|
||
each headline, exactly like on the page you're currently viewing, which
|
||
Material for MkDocs will make appear on hover:
|
||
|
||
=== "¶"
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
markdown_extensions:
|
||
- toc:
|
||
permalink: true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
=== "⚓︎"
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
markdown_extensions:
|
||
- toc:
|
||
permalink: ⚓︎
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
[`permalink_title`](#+toc.permalink_title){ #+toc.permalink_title }
|
||
|
||
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `Permanent link` – This option sets the
|
||
title of the anchor link which is shown on hover and read by screen readers.
|
||
For accessibility reasons, it might be beneficial to change it to a more
|
||
discernable name, stating that the anchor links to the section itself:
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
markdown_extensions:
|
||
- toc:
|
||
permalink_title: Anchor link to this section for reference
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
[`slugify`](#+toc.slugify){ #+toc.slugify }
|
||
|
||
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `headerid.slugify` – This option allows for
|
||
customization of the slug function. For some languages, the default may not
|
||
produce good and readable identifiers – consider using another slug function
|
||
like for example those from [Python Markdown Extensions][Slugs]:
|
||
|
||
=== "Unicode"
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
markdown_extensions:
|
||
- toc:
|
||
slugify: !!python/object/apply:pymdownx.slugs.slugify
|
||
kwds:
|
||
case: lower
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
=== "Unicode, case-sensitive"
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
markdown_extensions:
|
||
- toc:
|
||
slugify: !!python/object/apply:pymdownx.slugs.slugify
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
[`toc_depth`](#+toc.toc_depth){ #+toc.toc_depth }
|
||
|
||
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `6` – Define the range of levels to be
|
||
included in the table of contents. This may be useful for project
|
||
documentation with deeply structured headings to decrease the length of the
|
||
table of contents, or to remove the table of contents altogether:
|
||
|
||
=== "Hide levels 4-6"
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
markdown_extensions:
|
||
- toc:
|
||
toc_depth: 3
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
=== "Hide table of contents"
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
markdown_extensions:
|
||
- toc:
|
||
toc_depth: 0
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The other configuration options of this extension are not officially supported
|
||
by Material for MkDocs, which is why they may yield unexpected results. Use
|
||
them at your own risk.

|
||
default):
|
||
|

## Superseded extensions
|
||
|
||
The following [Python Markdown] extensions are not (or might not be) supported
|
||
anymore, and are therefore not recommended for use. Instead, the alternatives
|
||
should be considered.
|
||
|
||
### Fenced Code Blocks
|
||
|
||
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0][Fenced Code Blocks support] ·
|
||
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Fenced Code Blocks]
|
||
|
||
Superseded by [SuperFences]. This extension might still work, but the
|
||
[SuperFences] extension is superior in many ways, as it allows for arbitrary
|
||
nesting, and is therefore recommended.

|
||
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][CodeHilite]
|
||
|
||
Superseded by [Highlight]. Support for CodeHilite was dropped in
|
||
:octicons-tag-24: 6.0.0, as [Highlight] has a better integration with other
|
||
essential extensions like [SuperFences] and [InlineHilite].
