mkdocs-izsam-video 1.0.0

MkDocs plugin to insert videos in documentation.

MkDocs IZSAM Video

This plugin is based on the Mikalai Lisitsa idea and code, please visit the page project page at https://pypi.org/project/mkdocs-video/.

The plugin allows you to embed videos on the documentation pages using a simple Markdown syntax, but unlike the plugin it is based on, it embeds video not in an <iframe> but in a <video> tag.

Unlike the Mikalai Lisitsa it is no possibile to define style in the config file, you can do separately in the CSS of your theme, and for the moment YouTube or third parties videos embed are not allowed.

Installation

Install the package with pip:

$ pip install mkdocs-izsam-video

Enable the plugin in the mkdocs.yml file:

plugins:
    - mkdocs-izsam-video

See how to use MkDocs Plugins

Usage

To add a video to the final documentation page, you need to use the Markdown syntax for images with a specific name (hereinafter marker).

See how to use Markdown syntax

Example:

content folder structure

├── content
|   ├── ...
│   ├── video.md
│       └── videos
│           └── your-video.mp4
└── mkdocs.yml

video.md

Use relative paths for videos stored together with your content

# Video example

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

![type:video-tag](./videos/your-video.mp4)

Configuration

Marker

By default, the string type:video-tag is used as a marker in the Markdown syntax.

You can change this value by adding the following lines to your mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
  - mkdocs-izsam-video:
      mark: "your-marker"

Now you can use this marker in the Markdown syntax:

![your-marker](./videos/your-video.mp4)
