Setting up the footer

The footer of your project documentation is a great place to add links to websites or platforms you or your company are using as additional marketing channels, e.g. :fontawesome-brands-medium:{ style="color: #00AB6C" }, :fontawesome-brands-twitter:{ style="color: #1DA1F2" } or :fontawesome-brands-facebook:{ style="color: #4267B2" }, which can be configured via mkdocs.yml.

Configuration

Social links are rendered next to the copyright notice as part of the footer of your project documentation. Add a list of social links in mkdocs.yml with:

extra:
  social:
    - icon: fontawesome/brands/twitter # (1)!
      link: https://twitter.com/squidfunk

Enter a few keywords to find the perfect icon using our [icon search] and click on the shortcode to copy it to your clipboard:

Generator notice

:octicons-tag-24: 7.3.0 · :octicons-milestone-24: Default: true

The footer displays a Made with Material for MkDocs notice to denote how the site was generated. The notice can be removed with the following option via mkdocs.yml:

extra:
  generator: false

!!! info "Please read this before removing the generator notice"

the reasons why this project is so popular, as it tells the user how the
site is generated, helping new users to discover this project. Before
removing please consider that you're enjoying the benefits of @squidfunk's
work for free, as this project is Open Source and has a permissive license.
Thousands of hours went into this project, most of them
without any financial return.

project. __Thank you__ :octicons-heart-fill-24:{ .mdx-heart .mdx-insiders }
