MkDocs plugin to programmatically generate documentation pages during the build
Plugin for MkDocs to programmatically generate documentation pages during the build
pip install mkdocs-gen-files
Continue to the documentation site.
Activate the plugin in mkdocs.yml (scripts
is a required list of Python scripts to execute, always relative to mkdocs.yml):
plugins:
- search
- gen-files:
scripts:
- gen_pages.py # or any other name or path
Then create such a script gen_pages.py (this is relative to the root, not to the docs directory).
import mkdocs_gen_files
with mkdocs_gen_files.open("foo.md", "w") as f:
print("Hello, world!", file=f)
This added a programmatically generated page to our site. That is, the document doesn't actually appear in our source files, it only virtually becomes part of the site to be built by MkDocs.
