Permalinks

Permalinks are a feature of the Table of Contents extension, which is part of the standard Markdown library. The extension inserts an anchor at the end of each headline, which makes it possible to directly link to a subpart of the document.

Installation

To enable permalinks, add the following to your mkdocs.yml:

markdown_extensions:
  - toc(permalink=true)

This will add a link containing the paragraph symbol "¶" at the end of each headline (exactly like on the page you're currently viewing), which the Material theme will make appear on hover. In order to change the text of the permalink, a string can be passed, e.g.:

markdown_extensions:
  - toc(permalink=Link)

Usage

When enabled, permalinks are inserted automatically.
