+| `customAssets` | List of paths for image assets to be bundled with documentation. The image assets can have any file extension. For more information, see [Customizing assets](#customize-assets). | +| `customStyleSheets` | List of paths for `.css` stylesheets to be bundled with documentation and used for rendering. For more information, see [Customizing styles](#customize-styles). | +| `templatesDir` | Path to the directory containing custom HTML templates. For more information, see [Templates](#templates). | +| `footerMessage` | The text displayed in the footer. | +| `separateInheritedMembers` | This is a boolean option. If set to `true`, Dokka renders properties/functions and inherited properties/inherited functions separately. This is disabled by default. | +| `mergeImplicitExpectActualDeclarations` | This is a boolean option. If set to `true`, Dokka merges declarations that are not declared as [expect/actual](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform-connect-to-apis.html), but have the same fully qualified name. This can be useful for legacy codebases. This is disabled by default. | + +For more information about configuring Dokka plugins, see [Configuring Dokka plugins](dokka-plugins.md#configure-dokka-plugins). + +## Customization + +To help you add your own look and feel to your documentation, the HTML format supports a number of customization options. + +### Customize styles + +You can use your own stylesheets by using the `customStyleSheets` +[configuration option](#configuration). These are applied to every page. + +It's also possible to override Dokka's default stylesheets by providing files with the same name: + +| **Stylesheet name** | **Description** | +|----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------| +| `style.css` | Main stylesheet, contains most of the styles used across all pages | +| `logo-styles.css` | Header logo styling | +| `prism.css` | Styles for [PrismJS](https://prismjs.com/) syntax highlighter | +| `jetbrains-mono.css` | Font styling | + +The source code for all of Dokka's stylesheets is +[available on GitHub](https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/tree/%dokkaVersion%/plugins/base/src/main/resources/dokka/styles). + +### Customize assets + +You can provide your own images to be bundled with documentation by using the `customAssets` +[configuration option](#configuration). + +These files are copied to the `<output>/images` directory. + +It's possible to override Dokka's images and icons by providing files with the same name. The most +useful and relevant one being `logo-icon.svg`, which is the image that's used in the header. The rest is mostly icons. + +You can find all images used by Dokka on +[GitHub](https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/tree/%dokkaVersion%/plugins/base/src/main/resources/dokka/images). + +### Change the logo + +To customize the logo, you can begin by [providing your own asset](#customize-assets) for `logo-icon.svg`. + +If you don't like how it looks, or you want to use a `.png` file instead of the default `.svg` file, +you can [override the `logo-styles.css` stylesheet](#customize-styles) to customize it. + +For an example of how to do this, see our +[custom format example project](https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/tree/%dokkaVersion%/examples/gradle/dokka-customFormat-example). + +### Modify the footer + +You can modify text in the footer by using the `footerMessage` [configuration option](#configuration). + +### Templates + +Dokka provides the ability to modify [FreeMarker](https://freemarker.apache.org/) templates used for generating +documentation pages. + +You can change the header completely, add your own banners/menus/search, load analytics, change body styling and so on. + +Dokka uses the following templates: + +| **Template** | **Description** | +|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| `base.ftl` | Defines the general design of all pages to be rendered. | +| `includes/header.ft` | The page header that by default contains the logo, version, source set selector, light/dark theme switch, and search. | +| `includes/footer.ft` | The page footer that contains the `footerMessage` [configuration option](#configuration) and copyright. | +| `includes/page_metadata.ft` | Metadata used within `<head>` container. | +| `includes/source_set_selector.ft` | [The source set](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform-discover-project.html#source-sets) selector in the header. | + +The base template is `base.ftl` and it includes all of the remaining listed templates. You can find the source code for all of Dokka's templates +[on GitHub](https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/tree/%dokkaVersion%/plugins/base/src/main/resources/dokka/templates). + +You can override any template by using the `templatesDir` [configuration option](#configuration). Dokka searches +for the exact template names within the given directory. If it fails to find user-defined templates, it uses the +default templates. + +#### Variables + +The following variables are available inside all templates: + +| **Variable** | **Description** | +|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| `${pageName}` | The page name | +| `${footerMessage}` | The text which is set by the `footerMessage` [configuration option](#configuration) | +| `${sourceSets}` | A nullable list of [source sets](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform-discover-project.html#source-sets) for multi-platform pages. Each item has `name`, `platform`, and `filter` properties. | +| `${projectName}` | The project name.

[Jekyll compatible Markdown](dokka-markdown.md#jekyll) format. | + +By default, generated documentation is located in the `build/dokka/{format}` directory of your project. +The output location, among

In order to generate documentation in the +desired format, you have to add it as a Dokka plugin to the configuration. + +For example, to use the experimental [GFM](dokka-markdown.md#gfm) format, you have to add `gfm-plugin` artifact: + +```xml +<plugin> + <groupId>org.jetbrains.dokka</groupId> + <artifactId>dokka-maven-plugin</artifactId> + ... + <configuration> + <dokkaPlugins> + <plugin> + <groupId>org.jetbrains.dokka</groupId> + <artifactId>gfm-plugin</artifactId> + <version>%dokkaVersion%</version> + </plugin> + </dokkaPlugins> + </configuration> +</plugin> +``` + +With this configuration, running the `dokka:dokka` goal produces documentation in GFM format. + +To learn more about Dokka plugins, see [Dokka plugins](dokka-plugins.md). + +## Build javadoc.jar + +If you want to publish your library to a repository, you may need to provide a `javadoc.jar` file that contains +API reference documentation of your library. + +For example, if you want to publish to [Maven Central](https://central.sonatype.org/), you +[must](https://central.sonatype.org/publish/requirements/) supply a `javadoc.jar` alongside your project. However, +not all repositories have that rule. + +Unlike the [Gradle plugin for Dokka](dokka-gradle.md#build-javadoc-jar), the Maven plugin comes with a ready-to-use `dokka:javadocJar` +goal. By default, it generates documentation in [Javadoc](dokka-javadoc.md) output format in the`target` folder. + +If you are not satisfied with the built-in goal or want to customize the output (for example, you want to generate +documentation in [HTML](dokka-html.md) format instead of Javadoc), similar behavior can be achieved by adding the +Maven JAR plugin with the following configuration: + +```xml +<plugin> + <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> + <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> + <version>3.3.0</version> + <executions> + <execution> + <goals> + <goal>test-jar</goal> + </goals> + </execution> + <execution> + <id>dokka-jar</id> + <phase>package</phase> + <goals> + <goal>jar</goal> + </goals> + <configuration> + <classifier>dokka</classifier> + <classesDirectory>${project.build.directory}/dokka</classesDirectory> + <skipIfEmpty>true</skipIfEmpty> + </configuration> + </execution> + </executions> +</plugin> +``` + +The documentation and the `.jar` archive for it are then generated by running `dokka:dokka` and `jar:jar@dokka-jar` goals: + +```Bash +mvn dokka:dokka jar:jar@dokka-jar +``` + +> If you publish your library to Maven Central, you can use services like [javadoc.io](https://javadoc.io/) to +> host your library's API documentation for free and without any setup. It takes documentation pages straight +> from the `javadoc.jar`. It works well with the HTML format as demonstrated in +> [this example](https://javadoc.io/doc/com.trib3/server/latest/index.html). +> +{type="tip"} + +## Configuration example + +Maven's plugin configuration block can be used to configure Dokka. + +Here is an example of a basic configuration that only changes the output location of your documentation: + +```xml +<plugin> + <groupId>org.jetbrains.dokka</groupId> + <artifactId>dokka-maven-plugin</artifactId> + ... + <configuration> + <outputDir>${project.basedir}/target/documentation/dokka</outputDir> + </configuration> +</plugin> +``` + +## Configuration options + +Dokka has many configuration options to tailor your and your reader's experience. + +Below are some examples and detailed descriptions for each configuration section.
