Description

Right now, we can set

---
hide:
  - navigation
  - ...
---

on each page. But it would be great to be able to specify default hidden attributes globally.

You can do this with custom css, but it would be great to do it with just he config.

mkdocs.yaml

extra_css:
  - docs/docs.css

docs/docs.css

@media only screen and (min-width: 76.25em) {
  .md-sidebar {
    display: none;
  }
}

Use Cases

Specifically, I am looking to hide my navigation globally and and can't make anything work. I don't want to use those header blocks because they render weird in GitHub.

Thanks for reporting. This is already possible with the meta plugin ☺️ Just create a .meta.yml in the docs folder, and add the front matter you want to apply to all files in that folder (= all files, since its top-level):

hide:
  - navigation

Then, in mkdocs.yml, just add the plugin, and you're good to go:

plugins:
  - meta

Closing as resolved via configuration change.

Ah, I had tried this and it wasn't working because I am using the same-dir extension. I will open an issue on that repository.
