mkdocs-roadmap 1.4.1

MkDocs plugin for rendering roadmap.yml files to roadmap.md files

MkDocs Roadmap Plugin

The MkDocs Roadmap plugin allows you to define roadmap.yml files in your MkDocs project and automatically generate corresponding roadmap.md files during the build process. This plugin uses Jinja2 templates based on the advanced roadmap template to render beautiful, styled roadmap documentation.

Installation

Install the plugin using pip:

pip install mkdocs-roadmap

Or install from source:

cd tools/mkdocs-roadmap
pip install .

Usage

Configuration

Add the plugin to your mkdocs.yml configuration file:

plugins:
  - roadmap:
      roadmaps:
        - path/to/roadmap.yml
        - another/path/to/roadmap.yml

The roadmaps configuration option is a list of paths to roadmap.yml files relative to your docs_dir. The plugin will:

1. Read each roadmap.yml file
2. Render it using the Jinja2 template
3. Generate a corresponding roadmap.md file in the same location (replacing .yml or .yaml with .md)

Example

If you have a roadmap.yml file at docs/roadmap.yml, configure it like this:

plugins:
  - roadmap:
      roadmaps:
        - roadmap.yml

This will generate docs/roadmap.md during the build process, which you can then reference in your nav configuration:

nav:
  - Home: index.md
  - Roadmap: roadmap.md

Roadmap File Format

The plugin expects roadmap files to follow the roadmap schema. See the main roadmap documentation for details on the schema.

Example roadmap.yml:
