mkdocs-gen-files

Plugin for ProperDocs to programmatically generate documentation pages during the build

pip install mkdocs-gen-files

Continue to the documentation site.

Usage

Activate the plugin in properdocs.yml (scripts is a required list of Python scripts to execute, always relative to properdocs.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 ProperDocs.
