mkdocs-user-defined-values

This is a plugin for a MkDocs which allows pages to have user defined input values.

Setup

Install the plugin using pip:

pip install mkdocs-user-defined-values

Activate the plugin in mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
  - search
  - user-defined-values:
      keywords:
        YOUR_AWS_REGION:
          placeholder: e.g. ap-southeast-2
        YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID:
          placeholder: e.g. 12355224536

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.

More information about plugins in the MkDocs documentation.
