MkDocs Static Site - Quickstart

sudo pip install mkdocs
mkdocs new $site
cd $site

Assume the following all work under $site.

Create the directory structure:

mkdir dev_theme dev_theme/css dev_theme/js
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abetusk/minimal/master/stylesheets/pygment_trac.css -O dev_theme/css/pygment_trac.css
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abetusk/minimal/master/stylesheets/styles.css -O dev_theme/css/styles.css
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abetusk/minimal/master/javascripts/scale.fix.js -O dev_theme/js/scale.fix.js

mkdocs.yml using the minimal theme:

site_name: dev
pages:
  - index.md
  - "Textile-Cheat-Sheet.md"
  - "Image-Resize.md"
  - "Screenshots-Screencasts-Animated-Gifs.md"
  - "ffmpeg-notes.md"
  - "Unix-y-notes.md"
  - "lattice-reduction.md"
  - "GCode-Conversion.md"
  - "Git-Rename-Master.md"
  - "MkDocs-Quickstart.md"

docs_dir: 'wiki'
theme_dir: 'dev_theme'
extra:
  base : "/dev/"

MkDocs uses jinja2 for templates.

To test (note, you need to change config.extra.base for this setup):

mkdocs serve

To build the static site in the site subdir:

mkdocs build
