Basic usage

Configuring mkdocs

After installing it, you can enable the plugin by adding it to the plugin section of your mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
  - execute

Adding executable files

By default, this plugin will execute all code blocks inside markdown files if the file has the execute tag. An example markdown file can be found below.

---
execute: true
---

```python
print('Hello world!')
```

On top of that, the plugin will also execute all python (.py) files by default.

print('Hello world!')

Hiding cell input or output

It is possible to hide the input or output of a cell by applying the hide-input and hide-output tags respectively. It is also possible to hide a cell completely using the hide-cell tag.

```python tags=["hide-input"]
print('Hidden input')
```

```python tags=["hide-output"]
print('Hidden output')
```

```python tags=["hide-cell"]
print('Completely hidden')
```

# Default configuration
plugins:
  - execute:
      # Specify which files to include for execution. Should be a list of .gitignore style glob patterns.

      include: 
        - '*.py'
        - '*.md'
      # Specify which glob patterns to exclude for execution. Same format as `include`.
      exclude: []
      # Specify which files should still be executed if the execute tag is missing. Same format as `include`.
      # If the execute is set to false for a file matching this pattern, it will NOT be executed.
      execute_without_tag:
        - '*.py'
      # Markdown template used to render the executed files.
      markdown_template: 'markdown/index.md.j2'

        execute: 'execute'
        # Tag that hides a cell completely, both the input and output.
        # Note that the cell will still be executed.
        hide_cell: 'hide-cell'
        # Tag that hides the cell input (code).
        hide_input: 'hide-input'
        # Tag that hides the cell output.
        hide_output: 'hide-output'

Supported formats and languages

This plugin uses jupytext to execute and then convert files to markdown. This means all languages and formats supported by jupytext should work.
