mkdocs-labeled-user-defined-values

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

The difference with the original mkdocs-user-defined-values is the capability to categorize keywords.

Setup

Install the plugin using pip:

pip install mkdocs-labeled-user-defined-values

Activate the plugin in mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
  - search
  - labeled-user-defined-values:
      input-placeholder: "{{{user-defined-values}}}"
      keywords:
        cat1:
          YOUR_AWS_REGION:
            placeholder: e.g. ap-southeast-2
          YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID:
            placeholder: e.g. 12355224536
        cat2:
          ANOTHER_KEYWORD:
            label: any label that I want to display
            placeholder: e.g. any placeholder that I want to display

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.

Config

• keywords - This is a list of keywords which you want to allow a user to modify.
• input-placeholder - This is a placeholder where you want the plugin to generate the form for user to provide dynamic values for each keyword. Default value is {{{user-defined-values}}}. Please note that appart from keywords and category names (cat1 and cat2 in the above example), most of the parameters are optional.

Usage

• Provide a list of keywords you want a user to provide dynamically.
• Place {{{user-defined-values}}} in your page or template where you want to generate the form for user to provide dynamic values.
• You can replace category names by any name you desire.
