Custom block types

[JanMalch]

Is it possible to have custom output for custom block tags? How would you do this with dokka?

For example via plugins and hooking into existing generators.

Hi @JanMalch, could you elaborate on that (preferably show an example)?

[JanMalch]

I would like to define my own block tags like the @say in the following code:

/**
 * Does something.
 * @say Hello World
 */
fun foo() {}

So I can later write a plugin / generator which reads this custom tag and has custom output.

Starting MyCustomDokkaGenerator ...
Function 'foo' says 'Hello World'

Hope that helps.

Yup, I get it now. This or something similar is planned for the next release (0.10.1), if I'm not mistaken.

Plugin api is ready to be used, so I consider this issue to be closed.
