Overview

The mkdocs-simple-hooks plugin offers a straightforward way to define custom hooks for MkDocs, allowing users to enhance their documentation workflows without creating a separate package. Although it's important to note that this plugin has been deprecated as its functionalities are now integrated into MkDocs version 1.4, it can still serve as a useful tool for those familiar with earlier versions.

This plugin simplifies the process of creating hooks by enabling users to define functions directly in their project, which can then be registered in the mkdocs.yml configuration file. This approach not only streamlines documentation creation but also maintains flexibility for developers.

Features

Easy Hook Definition: Allows users to create hooks without the need for additional packages, simplifying the setup process.
Integrated into mkdocs.yml: Functions can be registered directly in the mkdocs.yml file, making configuration straightforward.
Supports Existing MkDocs Functionality: Compatible with hooks and events already available in the MkDocs documentation, leveraging existing API structures.
Performance Optimizations: Users can disable the plugin for local development, which can lead to faster build times during editing.
Python Module Compatibility: Hooks can be added via a Python module, either in the docs/ directory or the root MkDocs directory, giving flexibility in file organization.
Custom Function Registration: Simply define a function to be executed at specific points in the documentation build process, tailoring workflows to individual needs.
