What it is and what it does
This is a MkDocs plugin that solves the problem of exporting entire documentation sites to a single printable format. Instead of printing individual pages, it creates a combined print page at /print_page/ that merges all your site content into one document, which you can then export to PDF via your browser or save as standalone HTML. It works with mkdocs-material and readthedocs themes, and integrates with plugins like tags and autorefs.
The plugin is lightweight with no external dependencies beyond mkdocs-material, supports modern Python versions (3.8 through 3.11), and offers customization options including cover pages and PDF pagination. Setup is straightforward: install via pip, add two lines to your mkdocs.yml configuration, and the print page becomes available immediately.
Use it for
- Export full API documentation to PDF for offline distribution or printing.
- Create standalone HTML archives of documentation for backup or sharing without a web server.
- Generate printable user manuals from MkDocs-based documentation sites.
- Combine multiple documentation pages into a single document for easier searching and reading.
- Support dark theme printing with mkdocs-material by leveraging the plugin's theme integration.
