Displaying navigation for page not included in nav

[jimlyas]

So i generated my javadoc to markdown and want to display it mkdocs, but when it open nested file, the navigation is disappear. Is it possible to keep displaying the navigation even in the page that not registered in nav variable in mkdocs.yml?

No, that's not possible. You need to register it in the nav entry:

Navigation items may also include links to external sites. While titles are optional for internal links, they are required for external links. An external link may be a full URL or a relative URL. Any path which is not found in the files is assumed to be an external link. See the section about [Meta-Data] on how MkDocs determines the page title of a document.

@jimlyas what are you using to convert your javadoc into markdown? I am also building a documentation portal and I would like to inject my javadoc there.

@squidfunk sorry for bringing up an old discussion.

[jimlyas]

I'm sorry, I'm not really using javadoc. But I use Kdocs because the code is in Kotlin. For converting Kdoc into markdown you can use Dokka.

For answering my question, It's kinda hard adding all the pages to mkdocs.yml for all the documentation. So I use this plugin that scan the corresponding regex to automatically include it.
