Warning
The MkDocs marimo plugin is under active development. Features and documentation are being continuously updated and expanded.
This plugin allows you to embed interactive marimo notebooks in your MkDocs documentation.
Installation
# pip
pip install mkdocs-marimo
# uv
uv pip install mkdocs-marimo
# pixi
pixi add mkdocs-marimo
Usage
Create reactive and interactive Python blocks in your markdown files using marimo.
Embedding inline Python code and marimo elements
This uses code fences to embed marimo components as marimo islands.
```python {marimo}
import marimo as mo
name = mo.ui.text(placeholder="Enter your name")
name
```
```python {marimo}
mo.md(f"Hello, **{name.value or '__'}**!")
```
Embedding the marimo playground
For an easy way to embed marimo notebooks or applications, we recommend embedding the marimo playground. This feature uses pymdownx.blocks to embed marimo notebooks in your MkDocs documentation, creating iframes that render the marimo playground.
/// marimo-embed
height: 400px
mode: run
```python
@app.cell
def __():
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
y = np.sin(x)
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 4))
plt.plot(x, y)
plt.title('Sine Wave')
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.ylabel('sin(x)')
plt.grid(True)
plt.gca()
return
```
///
Available options for marimo-embed:
height: Named sizes (small,medium,large,xlarge,xxlarge) or custom pixel values (e.g.500px) (default: medium)mode: read, edit (default: read)app_width: medium, full, compact (default: medium)
You can also embed marimo files directly:
