+# Dokka community plugins
+
+On this page you can find `Dokka` plugins which are supported by both `Dokka` maintainers and community members.
+
+If you want to add your plugin to this list, get in touch with maintainers via [Slack](../community/slack.md)
+or `GitHub`.
+
+If you want to learn how to develop plugins for `Dokka`, see 
+[Plugin development](../developer_guide/plugin-development/introduction.md) section.
+
+## Output Formats
+
+### Javadoc (Alpha)
+
+Javadoc plugin adds a `Javadoc` output format that looks like Java's `Javadoc`, but it's for the most part
+a lookalike, so you may experience problems if you try to use it with a tool that expects native
+`Javadoc` documentation generated by `Java`.
+
+`Javadoc` plugin does not support multiplatform projects and does not have a multi-module task.
+
+`Javadoc` plugin is shipped with `Dokka`, so you can start using it right away with one of the following tasks:
+
+* `dokkaJavadoc` - builds `Javadoc` documentation for single-module projects or for a specific module.
+* `dokkaJavadocCollector` - collects generated `Javadoc` documentation from submodules and assembles it together.
+
+`Javadoc` plugin has its own signature provider that essentially translates `Kotlin` signatures to `Java` ones.
+
+**This plugin is at its early stages**, so you may experience issues and encounter bugs. Feel free to
+[report](https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/issues/new/choose) any errors you see.

+
+### GFM (Alpha)
+
+`GFM` plugins adds the ability to generate documentation in `GitHub flavoured Markdown` format. Supports both
+multimodule and multiplatform projects, and is shipped together with `Dokka`, so you can start using it
+right away with one of the following tasks:
+
+* `dokkaGfm` - generate documentation for a non multi-module project or one specific module.
+* `dokkaGfmMultiModule` - generate documentation for a multi-module project, assemble it together and
+  generate navigation page/menu for all the modules.
+
+Example:
+
+___
+
+//[dokka-debug-kts](#gfm)/[org.jetbrains.dokka.test](#gfm)/[MyClass](#gfm)
+
+#### MyClass
+
+[jvm]
+class [MyClass](#gfm)
+
+KDoc that describes this class
+
+##### Constructors
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| [MyClass](#gfm) | [jvm]<br>fun [MyClass](#gfm)() |
+
+##### Functions
+
+| Name             | Summary |
+|------------------|---|
+| [function](#gfm) | [jvm]<br>fun [function](#gfm)(): [String](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)<br>KDoc comment on top of this function |
+
+##### Properties
+
+| Name | Summary                                                                                                                                        |
+|---|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| [property](#gfm) | [jvm]<br>val [property](#gfm): [String](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)<br>KDoc comment for a property |

+### Jekyll (Alpha)
+
+`Jekyll` plugins adds the ability to generate documentation in `Jekyll flavoured Markdown` format. Supports both
+multi-module and multiplatform projects, and is shipped together with `Dokka`, so you can start using it
+right away with one of the following tasks:
+
+* `dokkaJekyll` - generate documentation for a non multi-module project or one specific module.
+* `dokkaJekyllMultiModule` - generate documentation for a multi-module project, assemble it together and
+  generate navigation page/menu for all the modules.

+
+## Extensions
+
+### Mathjax
+
+[MathJax](https://docs.mathjax.org/) allows you to include mathematics in your web pages. `MathJax` plugin
+adds the ability to render mathematics from source code comments.
+
+If `MathJax` plugin encounters `@usesMathJax` `KDoc` tag, it adds `MathJax.js` (ver. 2) with `config=TeX-AMS_SVG`
+to generated `HTML` pages.
+
+Usage example:
+```kotlin
+/**
+ * Some math \(\sqrt{3x-1}+(1+x)^2\)
+ * 
+ * @usesMathJax
+ */
+class Foo {}
+```
+
+Which results in:
+
+![Mathjax demo](../images/mathjax_demo.png){ width="400" }
+
+[Plugin source code on GitHub](https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/tree/master/plugins/mathjax)
+
+### Mermaid
+
+[Mermaid JS](https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/) lets you create diagrams and visualizations using text and code. 
+`Mermaid` plugin allows rendering such diagrams and visualizations found in source code documentation.
+
+Usage example:
+```kotlin
+/**
+ * See the graph for more details:
+ * \```mermaid
+ * graph LR
+ *   A[Christmas] -->|Get money| B(Go shopping)
+ *   B --> C{Let me think}
+ *   C -->|One| D[Laptop]
+ *   C -->|Two| E[iPhone]
+ *   C -->|Three| F[fa:fa-car Car]
+ * \```
+ */
+class CompositeSubscription
+```
+
+Which results in:
+
+![Mermaid demo](../images/mermaid_demo.png){ width="700" }
+
+For more information and examples, see 
+[Html Mermaid Dokka plugin](https://github.com/glureau/dokka-mermaid) repository on GitHub.
+
+### Kotlin as Java
+
+With `Kotlin as Java` plugin applied, all `Kotlin` signatures will be rendered as `Java` signatures. 
+
+For instance, `fun foo(bar: Bar): Baz` will be rendered as `public final Baz foo(Bar bar)`.
+
+`Kotlin as Java` plugin is published to maven central as a 
+[separate artifact](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.jetbrains.dokka/kotlin-as-java-plugin): 
+`org.jetbrains.dokka:kotlin-as-java-plugin:1.7.20`.
