nav links contains .html suffix

[bilal-fazlani]

Hi,
Version 7.1.8 & 7.1.9 introduces a different behaviour for urls / navigation links.

the urls end with .html

With version 7.1.7 and earlier, urls were plain without .html prefix.

Does anyone know why that is? and what I can do to prevent .html in navigation links / urls?

version 7.1.8

version 7.1.7

This is, very likely, not related to Material for MkDocs but to setting use_directory_urls: false in mkdocs.yml.

• Ensure site_url and use_directory_urls do not conflict. mkdocs/mkdocs#2405
• Use use_directory_urls: false breaks on empty site_url  mkdocs/mkdocs#2189 (lengthy discussion)

This seems to be a new behavior of MkDocs 1.2.1.
