mkdocs-timetoread-zh

mkdocs-timetoread-zh is a fork of @ntt4's mkdocs-timetoread-plugin with multiple language support.

Setup

Install the plugin using pip:

pip install mkdocs-timetoread-zh

Activate the plugin in mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
  - search
  - timetoread-zh

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.
