mkdocs-wikilinks-plugin

Plugin for mkdocs which enables easier linking between pages.

This plugin was written in order to provide an up-to-date and feature complete plugin for easily referencing documents with a variety of features:

  • Optimized file name lookup
  • Code Block Preservation
  • File name linking (e.g. [Text](file#anchor "title"))
  • Absolute paths (e.g. [Text](/link/to/file.md))
  • WikiLinks support (e.g. [[Link#anchor|Link Title]])
  • Reference Link support (e.g. [foo]: bar/ "Foo Title")

Install

pip install mkdocs-wikilinks-plugin

Edit your mkdocs configuration file to enable the plugin:

plugins:
  - search
  - ezlinks

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.

Configuration Options

plugins:
    - search
    - ezlinks:
        wikilinks: {true|false}

Determines whether to scan for wikilinks or not (See WikiLink Support).

NOTE
This plugin feature does not function well when the 'wikilinks' markdown extension is enabled. This plugin's functionality should replace the need for enabling said extension.

Determins whether to scan for Reference Links or not (See Reference Links, e.g. [foo]: /bar "Foo Bar")

Features

Given a layout such as

- index.md
- folder/
  +-- filename.md
  +-- image.png

The following links will result in the following translations,

Link Translation
[Link Text](filename) [Link Text](folder/filename.md)
[Link Text](filename#Anchor) [Link Text](folder/filename.md#Anchor)
[Link Text](filename.md) [Link Text](folder/filename.md)
[Link Text](filename.md#Anchor) [Link Text](folder/filename.md#Anchor)
![Image Alt Text](image) ![Image Alt Text](folder/image.png)
![Image Alt Text](image.png) ![Image Alt Text](folder/image.png)
![Image Alt Test](image "Image Title") ![Image Alt Text](folder/image.png "Image Title")

Given a layout such as

- static/
  +-- image.png
- folder/
  +-- document.md
- index.md

Given that we are entering the links into the folder/document.md file,

Link Translation
![Link Text](/static/image.png) ![Link Text](../static/image.png)

WikiLink Support

Given a layout such as

- folder1/
  +-- main.md
- folder2/
  +-- page-name.md
- images/
  +-- puppy.png

and these links are entered in folder1/main.md, this is how wikilinks will be translated

Link Translation
[[Page Name]] [Page Name](../folder2/page-name.md)
![[Puppy]] ![Puppy](../images/puppy.png)
[[Page Name|Link Text]] [Link Text](../folder2/page-name.md)
[[Page Name#Section Heading|Link Text]] [Link Text](../folder2/page-name.md#section-heading)

Attribution

This work is highly inspired from the following plugins:

I have combined some the features of these plugins, fixed several existing bugs, and am adding features in order to provide a cohesive, up-to-date, and maintained solution for the mkdocs community.
