mkdocs-blogging-plugin

A mkdocs plugin that generates a blog page listing selected pages by time.

Installation

pip3 install mkdocs-blogging-plugin

Prerequisites

• Only material theme is adapted by far.

• navigation.instant feature cannot be enabled if blog paging is on.

Usage

Add blogging in plugins and specify the directories to be included:

plugins:
  - blogging:
      dirs: # The directories to be included
        - blog

In the page you want to insert the blog content, just add a line {{ blog_content }} into your desired position:

# Blogs

{{ blog_content }}

In articles, add meta tags providing article title and description, which will appear on the post list:

---
title: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
description: Nullam urna elit, malesuada eget finibus ut, ac tortor.
---

To exclude certain pages from the blog collection, add a meta tag exculde_from_blog in the meta section in the markdown file:

---
exculde_from_blog: true
---

And it's done! You can open the page where you insert {{ blog_content }} and see how it is working.
