mkdocs-obsidian-excalidraw-plugin

This plugin includes excalidraw markdown files into the markdown files, which are created by obsidian-excalidraw-plugin. It fences it with code-block with excalidraw-type. In combination with mkdocs-kroki-plugin you can include such files automatically into your website.

Note: All excalidraw markdown files has to have the extension .excalidraw.md, otherwise the plugin will not find them.

Setup

Install the plugin using pip:

pip install mkdocs-obsidian-excalidraw-plugin

Activate the plugin in mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
  - search
  - obsidian-excalidraw

Note: If you have no plugins entry in your config file yet, you'll likely also want to add the search plugin. MkDocs enables it by default if there is no plugins entry set, but now you have to enable it explicitly.
