Can you use view/edit buttons with code hosted in Gitea?

You can configure the edit_uri via: https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/setup/adding-a-git-repository/?h=action+view#code-actions

It seems that the same pattern is used for action.view, with the assumption that raw is used in place of edit.

This works for GitHub, but for Gitea the links are as follows:

https://XXX/_edit/master/docs/doc.md
https://XXX/raw/branch/master/doc.md

Perhaps there is another way to configure, or it deserves a feature request?

Hello @macpijan,
the edit_uri setting is the sole config option related to this provided by MkDocs: https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/#edit_uri
It's unlikely they will add a separate raw_uri option. Actually I don't know if it's unlikely 😅, they just have a lot of issues etc., so another feature request will be a pebble in a pond. Don't let me discourage you from making suggestions 👌

The theme replaces the edit with raw like you said in the template:

mkdocs-material/src/templates/partials/actions.html

Lines 40 to 46 in c8bae9b

	{% if "/blob/" in page.edit_url %}
	{% set part = "blob" %}
	{% else %}
	{% set part = "edit" %}
	{% endif %}
	<a
	href="{{ page.edit_url | replace(part, 'raw') }}"

I'm not sure what kind of feature request you want to propose, but you can modify it with customization:

• https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/customization/#extending-the-theme

override the actions.html partial and change the logic to the one you want.

Another option would be to replace the address with extra JavaScript:

• https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/customization/#additional-javascript

This discussion contains a lot of reference about working with the action buttons from JavaScript, it focuses on adding one, but replacing a href should be even simpler.
