# Metadata
|
|
|
|
The [Metadata][1] extension makes it possible to add metadata to a document
|
|
which gives more control over the theme in a page-specific context.
|
|
|
|
[1]: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/meta_data/
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Add the following lines to your `mkdocs.yml`:
|
|
|
|
``` yaml
|
|
markdown_extensions:
|
|
- meta
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Metadata is written as a series of key-value pairs at the beginning of the
|
|
Markdown document, delimited by a blank line which ends the metadata context.
|
|
Naturally, the metadata is stripped from the document before rendering the
|
|
actual page content and made available to the theme.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
``` markdown
|
|
title: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
|
|
description: Nullam urna elit, malesuada eget finibus ut, ac tortor.
|
|
path: path/to/file
|
|
source: file.js
|
|
|
|
# Headline
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the next section which covers the metadata that is supported by Material.
|
|
|
|
### Setting a hero text
|
|
|
|
Material exposes a simple text-only page-local hero via Metadata, as you can
|
|
see on the current page when you scroll to the top. It's as simple as:
|
|
|
|
``` markdown
|
|
hero: Metadata enables hero teaser texts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Linking sources
|
|
|
|
When a document is related to a specific set of source files and the `repo_url`
|
|
is defined inside the project's `mkdocs.yml`, the files can be linked using the
|
|
`source` key:
|
|
|
|
``` markdown
|
|
source: file.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The filename is appended to the `repo_url` set in your `mkdocs.yml`, but can
|
|
be prefixed with a `path` to ensure correct path resolving:
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
``` markdown
|
|
path: tree/master/docs/extensions
|
|
source: metadata.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Result:
|
|
|
|
See the [source][2] section for the resulting output.
|
|
|
|
[2]: #__source
|
|
|
|
### Redirecting to another page
|
|
|
|
It's sometimes necessary to move documents around in the navigation tree and
|
|
redirect user from the old URL to the new one. The `redirect` meta-tag allows
|
|
to create a redirection from the current document to the address specified in
|
|
the tag.
|
|
|
|
For instance, if your document contains:
|
|
|
|
``` markdown
|
|
redirect: /new/url
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
accessing that document's URL will automatically redirect to `/new/url`.
|
|
|
|
### Overrides
|
|
|
|
#### Page title
|
|
|
|
The page title can be overridden on a per-document level:
|
|
|
|
``` markdown
|
|
title: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will set the `title` tag inside the document `head` for the current page
|
|
to the provided value. It will also override the default behavior of Material
|
|
for MkDocs which appends the site title using a dash as a separator to the page
|
|
title.
|
|
|
|
#### Page description
|
|
|
|
The page description can also be overridden on a per-document level:
|
|
|
|
``` yaml
|
|
description: Nullam urna elit, malesuada eget finibus ut, ac tortor.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will set the `meta` tag containing the site description inside the
|
|
document `head` for the current page to the provided value.
|
|
|
|
#### Disqus
|
|
|
|
As describe in the [getting started guide][3], the Disqus comments section can
|
|
be enabled on a per-document level:
|
|
|
|
``` markdown
|
|
disqus: your-shortname
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Disqus can be disabled for a specific page by setting it to an empty value:
|
|
|
|
``` markdown
|
|
disqus:
|
|
```
