Is it possible to point the edit and view urls to a different repo?

[MagicLike]

My current MkDocs repo_url points to a different repo than the repo where the docs are stored. Is it possible to point the edit and view URLs towards the docs repo instead of the project repo?

Yes, you could override the actions partial and adjust the URLs manually, specifically here:

mkdocs-material/src/partials/actions.html

Lines 38 to 48 in c8fb426

	<!-- View button -->
	{% if "content.action.view" in features %}
	<a
	href="{{ page.edit_url | replace('edit', 'raw') }}"
	title="{{ lang.t('action.view') }}"
	class="md-content__button md-icon"
	>
	{% set icon = config.theme.icon.view or "material/file-eye-outline" %}
	{% include ".icons/" ~ icon ~ ".svg" %}
	</a>
	{% endif %}

But wouldn't it be better to use blob instead of raw?

What's the benefit?

[MagicLike]

That the file can be viewed as compiled markdown as well as a raw file.

[squidfunk]

The idea behind the "view source" button is that you can view the Markdown sources directly.

Ahhh ok, I just thought of bringing in extra functionality, because the blob option can do both...
