MkDocs changelog feed plugin

MkDocs plugin that adds RSS and Atom feeds for a changelog.

This plugin takes the rendered HTML output of the page specified by the changelog_file setting, splits it into sections for each changelog entry, and generates RSS and Atom feeds with items for each of those entries. Then, links to the feeds are added to the page.

The page is expected to be in the Keep a Changelog format, e.g. every entry starts with a second level heading, the version title and the date have to be separated by -1, the date has to be in ISO 8601 format, etc.

Installation

pip install mkdocs-changelog-feed-plugin

Usage

In mkdocs.yaml, set site_url and add the plugin to plugins:

site_name: My Docs
site_url: https://mydocs.example.com/
plugins:
- search
- changelog_feed
