# Python Markdown Extensions
The [Python Markdown Extensions] package is an excellent collection of
additional extensions perfectly suited for advanced technical writing. Material
for MkDocs lists this package as an explicit dependency, so it's automatically
installed with a supported version.
[Python Markdown Extensions]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/
## Supported extensions
### Arithmatex
[:octicons-tag-24: 1.0.0][Arithmatex support] ·
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Arithmatex]
The [Arithmatex] extension allows for rendering of block and inline block
equations and integrates seamlessly with [MathJax][^1] a library for
mathematical typesetting. Enable it via `mkdocs.yml`:
[^1]:
Other libraries like [KaTeX] are also supported and can be integrated with
some additional effort. See the [Arithmatex documentation on KaTeX] for
further guidance, as this is beyond the scope of Material for MkDocs.
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.arithmatex:
generic: true
```
Besides enabling the extension in `mkdocs.yml`, a MathJax configuration and
the JavaScript runtime need to be included, which can be done with a few lines
of [additional JavaScript]:
=== ":octicons-file-code-16: docs/javascripts/mathjax.js"
``` js
window.MathJax = {
tex: {
inlineMath: [["\\(", "\\)"]],
displayMath: [["\\[", "\\]"]],
processEscapes: true,
processEnvironments: true
},
options: {
ignoreHtmlClass: ".*|",
processHtmlClass: "arithmatex"
}
};
document$.subscribe(() => {
MathJax.typesetPromise()
})
```
=== ":octicons-file-code-16: mkdocs.yml"
``` yaml
extra_javascript:
- javascripts/mathjax.js
- https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=es6
- https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@3/es5/tex-mml-chtml.js
```
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.

in Markdown using special characters, i.e. for `**bold**` and `_italic_`
formatting. Enable it via `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.betterem
```
The configuration options of this extension are not specific to Material for
MkDocs, as they only impact the Markdown parsing stage. See the [BetterEm

[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Caret]
The [Caret], [Mark] and [Tilde] extensions add the ability to highlight text
and define sub- and superscript using a simple syntax. Enable them together
via `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.caret
- pymdownx.mark
- pymdownx.tilde
```
The configuration options of this extension are not specific to Material for
MkDocs, as they only impact the Markdown parsing stage. See the [Caret], [Mark]
and [Tilde documentation][Tilde] for guidance.

### Critic
[:octicons-tag-24: 1.0.0][Critic support] ·
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Critic]
The [Critic] extension allows for the usage of [Critic Markup] to highlight
added, deleted or updated sections in a document, i.e. for tracking changes in
Markdown syntax. Enable it via `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.critic
```
The following configuration options are supported:
`mode`{ #critic-mode }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `view` This option defines how the markup
should be parsed, i.e. whether to just `view` all suggested changes, or
alternatively `accept` or `reject` them:
=== "View changes"
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.critic:
mode: view
```
=== "Accept changes"
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.critic:
mode: accept
```

### Details
[:octicons-tag-24: 1.9.0][Details support] ·
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Details]
The [Details] extension supercharges the [Admonition] extension, making the
resulting _call-outs_ collapsible, allowing them to be opened and closed by the
user. Enable it via `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.details
```
No configuration options are available. See reference for usage:
- [Collapsible blocks]

[Collapsible blocks]: ../../reference/admonitions.md#collapsible-blocks
### Emoji
[:octicons-tag-24: 1.0.0][Emoji support] ·
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Emoji]
The [Emoji] extension automatically inlines bundled and custom icons and emojis
in `*.svg` file format into the resulting HTML page. Enable it via `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.emoji:
emoji_index: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.twemoji # (1)!
emoji_generator: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.to_svg
```
1. [Python Markdown Extensions] uses the `pymdownx` namespace, but in order to
support the inlining of icons, the `materialx` namespace must be used, as it
extends the functionality of `pymdownx`.
The following configuration options are supported:
`emoji_index`{ #emoji-index }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `emojione` This option defines which set
of emojis is used for rendering. Note that the use of `emojione` is not
recommended due to [restrictions in licensing][Emoji index]:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.emoji:
emoji_index: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.twemoji
```
`emoji_generator`{ #emoji-generator }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `to_png` This option defines how the
resolved emoji or icon shortcode is render. Note that icons can only be
used together with the `to_svg` configuration:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.emoji:
emoji_generator: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.to_svg
```
`options.custom_icons`{ #custom-icons }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: _none_ This option allows to list folders
with additional icon sets to be used in Markdown or `mkdocs.yml`, which is
explained in more detail in the [icon customization guide]:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.emoji:
emoji_index: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.twemoji
emoji_generator: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.to_svg
options:
custom_icons:
- overrides/.icons
```
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.

### Highlight
[:octicons-tag-24: 5.0.0][Highlight support] ·
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Highlight] ·
:octicons-zap-24: Supersedes [CodeHilite]
The [Highlight] extension adds support for syntax highlighting of code blocks
(with the help of [SuperFences][pymdownx.superfences]) and inline code blocks
(with the help of [InlineHilite][pymdownx.inlinehilite]). Enable it via
`mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.highlight:
anchor_linenums: true
- pymdownx.superfences # (1)!
```
1. [Highlight] is used by the [SuperFences][pymdownx.superfences] extension to
perform syntax highlighting on code blocks, not the other way round, which
is why this extension also needs to be enabled.
The following configuration options are supported:
`use_pygments`{ #highlight-use-pygments }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `true` This option allows to control
whether highlighting should be carried out during build time using
[Pygments] or in the browser with a JavaScript syntax highlighter:
=== "Pygments"
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.highlight:
use_pygments: true
- pymdownx.superfences
```
=== "JavaScript"
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.highlight:
use_pygments: false
```
As an example, [Highlight.js], a JavaScript syntax highlighter, can be
integrated with some [additional JavaScript] and [additional CSS] in
`mkdocs.yml`:
=== ":octicons-file-code-16: docs/javascripts/highlight.js"
``` js
document$.subscribe(() => {
hljs.highlightAll()
})
```
=== ":octicons-file-code-16: mkdocs.yml"
``` yaml
extra_javascript:
- https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/10.7.2/highlight.min.js
- javascripts/highlight.js
extra_css:
- https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/10.7.2/styles/default.min.css
```
Note that [Highlight.js] has no affiliation with the
[Highlight][pymdownx.highlight] extension.
All following configuration options are only compatible with build-time
syntax highlighting using [Pygments], so they don't apply if `use_pygments`
is set to `false`.
`auto_title`{ #highlight-auto-title }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `false` This option will automatically
add a [title] to all code blocks that shows the name of the language being
used, e.g. `Python` is printed for a `py` block:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.highlight:
auto_title: true
```
`linenums`{ #highlight-linenums }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `false` This option will add line numbers
to _all_ code blocks. If you wish to add line numbers to _some_, but not all
code blocks, consult the section on [adding line numbers][Adding line
numbers] in the code block reference, which also contains some tips on
working with line numbers:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.highlight:
linenums: true
```
`linenums_style`{ #highlight-linenums-style }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `table` The [Highlight] extension
provides three ways to add line numbers, two of which are supported by
Material for MkDocs. While `table` wraps a code block in a `<table>`
element, `pymdownx-inline` renders line numbers as part of the line itself:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.highlight:
linenums_style: pymdownx-inline
```
Note that `inline` will put line numbers next to the actual code, which
means that they will be included when selecting text with the cursor or
copying a code block to the clipboard. Thus, the usage of either `table`
or `pymdownx-inline` is recommended.
`anchor_linenums`{ #anchor-linenums }
: [:octicons-tag-24: 8.1.0][anchor_linenums support] · :octicons-milestone-24:
Default: `false` If a code blocks contains line numbers, enabling this
setting will wrap them with anchor links, so they can be hyperlinked and
shared more easily:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.highlight:
anchor_linenums: true
```
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.

[:octicons-tag-24: 1.0.0][Keys support] ·
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Keys]
The [Keys] extension adds a simple syntax to allow for the rendering of keyboard
keys and combinations, e.g. ++ctrl+alt+del++. Enable it via `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.keys
```
The configuration options of this extension are not specific to Material for
MkDocs, as they only impact the Markdown parsing stage. The only exception is
the [`class`][Keys options] option, which must not be changed. See the
[Keys documentation][Keys] for more information.

### SuperFences
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0][SuperFences support] ·
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][SuperFences] ·
:octicons-zap-24: Supersedes [Fenced Code Blocks]
The [SuperFences] extension allows for arbitrary nesting of code and content
blocks inside each other, including admonitions, tabs, lists and all other
elements. Enable it via `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.superfences
```
The following configuration options are supported:
`custom_fences`{ #superfences-custom-fences }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: _none_ This option allows to define a
handler for custom fences, e.g. to preserve the definitions of [Mermaid.js]
diagrams to be interpreted in the browser:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.superfences:
custom_fences:
- name: mermaid
class: mermaid
format: !!python/name:pymdownx.superfences.fence_code_format
```
Note that this will primarily prevent syntax highlighting from being
applied. See the reference on [diagrams] to learn how Mermaid.js is
integrated with Material for MkDocs.
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.

### Tabbed
[:octicons-tag-24: 5.0.0][Tabbed support] ·
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Tabbed]
The [Tabbed] extension allows the usage of content tabs, a simple way to group
related content and code blocks under accessible tabs. Enable it via
`mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.tabbed:
alternate_style: true
```
The following configuration options are supported:
`alternate_style`{ #tabbed-alternate-style }
: [:octicons-tag-24: 7.3.1][Tabbed alternate support] ·
:octicons-milestone-24: Default: `false` · :octicons-alert-24: Required

### Tasklist
[:octicons-tag-24: 1.0.0][Tasklist support] ·
[:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][Tasklist]
The [Tasklist] extension allows for the usage of [GitHub Flavored Markdown]
inspired [task lists][Tasklist specification], following the same syntactical
conventions. Enable it via `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.tasklist:
custom_checkbox: true
```
The following configuration options are supported:
`custom_checkbox`{ #tasklist-custom-checkbox }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `false` · This option toggles the rendering
style of checkboxes, replacing native checkbox styles with beautiful icons,
and is therefore recommended:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.tasklist:
custom_checkbox: true
```
`clickable_checkbox`{ #tasklist-clickable-checkbox }
: :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `false` · This option toggles whether
checkboxes are clickable. As the state is not persisted, the use of this
option is _rather discouraged_ from a user experience perspective:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.tasklist:
clickable_checkbox: true
```
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.
