# 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.

|
||
|
||
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Markdown in HTML] ·
|
||
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0 ... present][Markdown in HTML support]
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
No configuration options are available. See reference for usage:
|
||
|
||

|
||
### Table of Contents
|
||
|
||
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Table of Contents] ·
|
||
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0 ... present][Table of Contents support]
|
||
|
||
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:
|
||
|
||
`permalink`{ #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: ⚓︎
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`slugify`{ #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/name:pymdownx.slugs.uslugify
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
=== "Unicode, case-sensitive"
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|
||
markdown_extensions:
|
||
- toc:
|
||
slugify: !!python/name:pymdownx.slugs.uslugify_cased
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`toc_depth`{ #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.

|

The [Tables] extension adds the ability to create tables in Markdown by using a
|
||
simple syntax. Enable it via `mkdocs.yml` (albeit it should be enabled by
|
||
default):
|
||
|
||
``` yaml
|

## 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-workflow-24: Extension][Fenced Code Blocks] ·
|
||
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0 ... present][Fenced Code Blocks support]
|
||
|
||
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-tag-24: 0.1.0 ... 5.5.14][CodeHilite support]
|
||
|
||
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].
