allow redirecting of .html URLs (without producing a warning) #51
Description
(see also PR #50)
I would like to use mkdocs-redirects in our effort to port our documentation from Sphinx/.rst (hosted at ReadTheDocs to MkDocs/.md (hosted at GitHub Pages), so we can avoid breaking our current documentation URLs.
This is actually working already, by using something like:
plugins:
- redirects:
redirect_maps:
en/latest/example.html: example.mdThis makes a URL like https://example.github.io/docs/en/latest/exampe.html redirect correctly to https://example.github.io/docs/example/.
The problem is that mkdocs-redirects currently logs a warning for redirects of non-MarkDown paths:
WARNING - redirects plugin: 'en/latest/example.html' is not a valid markdown file!
That's annoying, since we would like to use mkdocs build --strict in CI to test changes to our documentation, and that exits with a non-zero exit code as soon there as any warnings.
Two potential ways forward:
- disable the warning for
.htmlpaths (since it works fine); - add support for a way to opt-in to redirecting
.htmlpaths, through a configuration option likeallow_html_redirect(implemented in add 'allow_html_redirect' configuration option to avoid printing warning when redirecting .html URLs #50);
