Kuan-Yi Li 7d6d8d7a7c Updated slugify documentation
Unicode, case-sensitive reference setting causes error below.

```
yaml.constructor.ConstructorError: expected a mapping node, but found scalar
```

Update related sections in the documentation to address this issue.

Newer Python-Markdown has `slugify_unicode` built-in, so this

```yaml
markdown_extensions:
  - toc:
      slugify: !!python/name:markdown.extensions.toc.slugify_unicode
```

also works for case-insensitive use cases.

Fixes: ee1e675da6 ("Update slug reference")

# 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.

### Definition Lists
<!-- md:version 1.1.0 -->
<!-- md:extension [def_list][Definition Lists] -->
The [Definition Lists] extension adds the ability to add definition lists (more
commonly known as [description lists] `dl` in HTML) via Markdown to a
document. Enable it via `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- def_list
```
No configuration options are available. See reference for usage:
- [Using definition lists]
[Definition Lists]: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/definition_lists/
[description lists]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/dl
[Using definition lists]: ../../reference/lists.md#using-definition-lists
### Footnotes
<!-- md:version 1.0.0 -->
<!-- md:extension [footnotes][Footnotes] -->
The [Footnotes] extension allows to define inline footnotes, which are then
rendered below all Markdown content of a document. Enable it via `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- footnotes
```
No configuration options are supported. See reference for usage:
- [Adding footnote references]
- [Adding footnote content]
[Footnotes]: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/footnotes/
[Adding footnote references]: ../../reference/footnotes.md#adding-footnote-references

### Markdown in HTML
<!-- md:version 0.1.0 -->
<!-- md:extension [md_in_html][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.
No configuration options are available. See reference for usage:
- [Using annotations]
- [Using grids]
- [Image captions]
[Markdown in HTML]: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/md_in_html/
[Using annotations]: ../../reference/annotations.md#usage
[Using grids]: ../../reference/grids.md#usage
[Image captions]: ../../reference/images.md#image-captions
### Table of Contents
<!-- md:version 0.1.0 -->
<!-- md:extension [toc][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:
<!-- md:option toc.title -->
: <!-- md:version 7.3.5 --> <!-- md:default computed -->
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
```
<!-- md:option toc.permalink -->
: <!-- md: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: ⚓︎
```
<!-- md:option toc.permalink_title -->
: <!-- md: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
```
<!-- md:option toc.slugify -->
: <!-- md:default `toc.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 {}
```
<!-- md:option toc.toc_depth -->
: <!-- md: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.

### Tables
<!-- md:version 0.1.0 -->
<!-- md:extension [tables][Tables] -->
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
markdown_extensions:
- tables
```
No configuration options are available. See reference for usage:
- [Using data tables]
- [Column alignment]

[Column alignment]: ../../reference/data-tables.md#column-alignment
## 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
<!-- md:version 0.1.0 -->
<!-- md:extension [fenced_code_blocks][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.
[Fenced Code Blocks]: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/fenced_code_blocks/
[SuperFences]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/extensions/superfences/
### CodeHilite
<!-- md:version 0.1.0 -->
<!-- md:extension [codehilite][CodeHilite] -->
Superseded by [Highlight]. Support for CodeHilite was dropped in
<!-- md:version 6.0.0 -->, as [Highlight] has a better integration with other
essential extensions like [SuperFences] and [InlineHilite].
[CodeHilite]: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/code_hilite/
[CodeHilite support]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/releases/tag/0.1.0
[Highlight]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/extensions/highlight/
[InlineHilite]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/extensions/inlinehilite/
