More than just a static site
Built-in search
Material for MkDocs makes your documentation instantly searchable with zero effort: say goodbye to costly third-party crawler-based solutions that can take hours to update. Ship your documentation with a highly customizable and blazing fast search running entirely in the user's browser at no extra cost.
Even better: search inside code blocks, exclude specific sections or entire pages, boost important pages in the results and build searchable documentation that works offline.
Code annotations
Some examples need more explanation than others, which is why Material for MkDocs offers a unique and elegant way to add rich text almost anywhere in a code block.
Code annotations can host formatted text, images, diagrams, code blocks, call-outs, content tabs, even interactive elements – basically everything that can be expressed in Markdown or HTML. Of course, code annotations work beautifully on mobile and other touch devices and can be printed.
Social cards
Make an impact on social media and increase engagement when sharing links to your documentation by leveraging the built-in social plugin. Material for MkDocs makes it effortless to generate a beautiful preview image for each page, which will drive more interested users to your Open Source or commercial project.
While the social plugin uses what's already there, i.e. your project's name and logo, as well as each page's title and description, it's easy to customize preview images.
