The plugin enables a hybrid nav item that acts as both a section container and a clickable page by merging an index.md file into the section itself. When you structure your nav with a section containing an index.md as its first child, the plugin combines them into a single nav item that is both clickable (linking to the index page) and able to hold subsections and child pages.\n\nThe plugin works by introducing a special \"section-page\" object into MkDocs' nav structure and then patching the templates of supported themes (material, readthedocs, nature) to render these hybrid items correctly. It requires Python 3.10 or later and depends on mkdocs and properdocs. The codebase is actively maintained and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes. The plugin solves a genuine UX gap in MkDocs with low install friction, active maintenance, permissive licensing, and no security vulnerabilities. Install it if you use material, readthedocs, or nature themes and want clickable section headers. If you use a different theme, verify that template patching will work or that your theme already supports hybrid section-page items."},"id":"mkdocs-section-index","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mkdocs-section-index","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mkdocs-section-index.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mkdocs-section-index/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-16","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mkdocs-section-index","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"MkDocs plugin to allow clickable sections that lead to an index page"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1686302,"position":3652,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.12"}
