mkdocs-nav-weight

Note

If you are looking for a suitable Markdown editor, or are using Obsidian, then there is a plugin with basically the same functionality available here.

A simple mkdocs plugin, enables to organize Navigation in a more markdownic way.*

This plugin tries to read markdown resources before mkdocs, which may add some performance overhead on building.

Usage

Four additional keys can be configured in Markdown Metadata ( also known as "front-matter", see metadata).

• weight: number

  • Value: number, eg: -1, 2.3 ..., if unset, it goes 0.
  • like weight in Hugo but has some differences, used for ordering your sections/pages. Lower weight gets higher precedence. So content with lower weight will come first.
  • weight in an index will be offered to its parent section, there is a fixed value for itself, and the value is configurable, see: index_weight.
  • For those who are confused, only weights of the items in the same folder will be compared

• headless: bool

  • Value: bool, true or false, if unset, it goes false.
  • like headless in Hugo, pages/sections with headless: true will be hidden from nav, but these contents will still be rendered and accessible via URL.
  • headless in an index will be offered to its parent section.

For index only:

• retitled: bool

  • Value: bool, true or false, if unset, it goes false.
  • A metadata version of section_renamed which only applies this index's title to its parent section, it only works when section_renamed is false.

• empty: bool

  • Value: bool, true or false, if unset, it goes false.
  • If there is an index only used to offer metadata for its parent section and without any meaningful content, setting empty to true can help you to hide this index itself.

Installation

Options

Configure in mkdocs.yml:

      section_renamed: false
      index_weight: -10
      warning: true
      reverse: false
      headless_included: false

section_renamed

Default: false:

• If true, section name will use the title of its index instead of the folder name.

• For compatibility we have to name a folder like "C#" as "CSharp", but what we actually want is "C#" , that's what this option does

index_weight

Default: -10:

• The weight value for index itself, to ensure it's always the first at the same level

warning

Default: true:

• Controls whether to send a Warning when invalid values are detected in markdown metadata

reverse

Default: false:

• If true, sort nav by weight from largest to smallest.

headless_included

Default: false:

• An option to control whether headless pages should be included in nav.pages which is used by some plugins, eg: mkdocs-pdf-export-plugin.

• If true, headless pages will be included.
