MkDocs Site URLs Plugin

A MkDocs plugin that adds support for site-relative site: URLs.

Example:

URL site_url resulting URL
site:images/foo.png https://example.com/ /images/foo.png
site:images/foo.png https://example.com/bar/ /bar/images/foo.png

Please note: This plugin requires MkDocs 1.5 or higher.

Getting Started

  1. Install the plugin from PyPI
    pip install mkdocs-site-urls
  2. Add the site-urls plugin to your mkdocs.yml plugins section:
    plugins:
      - site-urls
  3. Start using site-relative URLs in your Markdown files by prefixing them with site::
    [Link to another page](site:another-page/relative/to/the/site/root)
    
    ![Image](site:images/foo.png)

Configuration

By default the plugin will replace URLs in href, src and data attributes. You can configure the attributes to replace by setting the attributes option in your mkdocs.yml, e.g.:

plugins:
  - site-urls:
      attributes:
        - href
        - src
        - data
        - data-url

Be advised that in case of any customization on your part you need to include the default attributes as well if you want to keep them, as the default list will not be included automatically anymore.

How it works

The plugin hooks into the on_page_content event and replaces all URLs in the configured attributes (by default href, src or data) in the rendered HTML with the corresponding site-relative URLs.
