mkdocs-placeholder-plugin 0.2.1

Add dynamic placeholders to your mkdocs page

MkDocs Placeholder Plugin

This plugin allows you to have placeholders in your site, that can be dynamically replaced at runtime using JavaScript (see demo page).

Documentation

This README is just a short intro to the package. For a quick start and detailed information please see the documentation. The documentation is also available in the docs folder of the source code and can be built localy with MkDocs.

TODOs

• What about the search entries? Can I hook into them for the normal MkDocs and the MkDocs for material plugins?
• Optional extra buttons for the global placeholder state (reset, import, export)
• Set the correct input elements (checkboxed, dropdowns) for static replacements

Notable changes

HEAD

Version 0.2.1

• Add option to reload the page if a checkbox/dropdown is changed or a text field is changed and Enter is pressed (to immediately show the new values). This is enabled by default.
• Set initial value for placeholder input fields to "Please enable JavaScript"
• Added option to automatically insert placeholder input tables at the top of each page

Version 0.2.0

• Added new input types (checkbox & dropdown menu)
• Also allow numbers in placeholder names (everywhere except the first character)
• Moved to typed mkdocs config (now requires mkdocs 1.4+)
• Disable input elements for read only placeholders
• Moved a lot of code around, significantly changed JavaScript file

Version 0.1.3

• Placeholder config: Placeholders can now have attributes (like description)
• Tables with inputs for all placeholders on a page can now be generated via <placeholdertable> elements
• Stack traces for fatal exceptions can now be seen with the -v flag (mkdocs serve -v)
• When performing static replacements, the contents are now HTML escaped
• Added script mkdocs-placeholder-replace-static.py

Version 0.1.2

• Implemented static replacements for user-selected pages
• Added timing options. This should make it possible to use with MermaidJS diagrams, but may not always work

Version 0.1.1

• Show a warning if an input element references a non-existent variable
• Show a warning if a variable name does not match the recommended format
• Perform type checks/conversions when loading placeholder data from the data file
