mkdocs_include_exclude_files

By default, mkdocs copies everything it can find in the docs_dir directory that doesn't start with a .

This plugin allows for customising that.

Installation

pip install mkdocs_include_exclude_files

Requires MkDocs 1.2.3+ and Python 3.8+

Usage

In mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
    - search  # default plugin, need to re-enable when using manual plugins
    - include_exclude_files:
        - include:
            - ".some_file"
            - ".anotherfile"
        - exclude
            - "some_folder"
            - "anotherfolder"

Every file exactly matching those in include will be included. Any file whose location starts with anything in exclude will be excluded.
