# Windmill theme for MkDocs
Outstanding mkdocs theme with a focus on navigation and usability, from Grist Labs.

Highlights:
- Convenient navigation for larger documentation projects.
- Retains state of the navigation menu across page transitions.
- Search with term highlighting.
- User may search in a quick dropdown or load results in a full page.
- Default mkdocs theme within pages, including syntax highlighting.

## Quick start

To install using `pip`:
``` sh
pip install mkdocs-windmill
```

To use in `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
theme: windmill
```

Note that it's important for there to exist a homepage, e.g. a top-level root element in mkdocs 1.0+:
``` yaml
nav:
  - Home: index.md
```
