Missing depandcies: pymdown-extensions, mkdocs-material

[Mattwmaster58]

cloning the repo and installing with pip install mkdocstrings works, but as soon as mkdocs serve is run, the two aforementioned packages are nowhere to be found. Am I missing something?

Well, mkdocstrings is not supposed to depend on any theme. Currently it only supports the Material for MkDocs theme, but it's only that: support. Maybe we could add mkdocs-material as a dependency, but later it should be removed when more themes are supported (especially the native ones), and it could be quite confusing for users 😕

Right now I think it's best to warn users that they must install Material for MkDocs themselves. I'll update the README and docs. What do you think?

[Mattwmaster58]

If I'm understanding the problem correctly something like this should suffice:

Note: this project currently only works with the Material theme of MkDocs at this time. Therefore, it is required that you have it installed.

And with regard to pymdownx, I assume that's this project is missing that dependency?

[pawamoy]

pymdownx is a dependency of mkdocs-material, and I don't believe we're doing anything in mkdocstrings that would require it as well.

Hmm in fact yes, we depend on pymdownx for the highlight jinja filter. I'll add it as a dependency. Thanks @Mattwmaster58
